Natural Doctrine?

Low-res version's been floating around for some time now, but we're only now getting something with a decent resolution.
Man, the spacing of the words in the subtitle is really weird.
Also on: PS4, Xbox One, PS3, 360, and maybe PC? Those are by Edge of Reality, there's a 3DS version by Wayforward.
So psyched to worship the virtual boy.
Shame impressions of it haven't been so hot and that the game apparently ends in the middle of its story, its cliffhanger only existing because they ran out of money.Small, from Gamestop. Looks like a more zoomed-out image than the Japanese one. I like it better.
Ok this is hot-fire:
I didn't think that game's art style lent itself well to dramatic scenes, but that actually looks really cool.
Seriously? That's the first time I heard of that... That stinks.
Yeah, that sucks but I'm still getting it anyway since I've been interested in it since the Japanese release. Hopefully it'll get a sequel to tie up the loose ends.
Huh. Done before the switch to blue bars, or did they already revert? Would be kind of funny if it was the latter.The US PlayStation blog confirmed the same cover a while ago:
Only missing the developer logos obviously.

EDIT: Nevermind I saw Mugen Souls Z up there. But it still seems weird we have a period where games are getting announced/released with that bar, then a bunch without. Even one from Sony themselves.

you quote it
but damn what a cluster art
I would need to check on how the ending actually works - how abrupt it is - but yeah, it literally just ends by showing "This is only the beginning" before cutting to the credits. I had it described to me as basically ending a multi-disk RPG after disk 1.
I know there was some backlash (especially going off what little I can understand of the Japanese Amazon reviews), but I have no idea how well the game actually did.
I just find it funny that two very Persona-ish (don't want to call them rip-offs when I haven't played them myself) games are launching so close to each other - one taking a similar-ish presentation style and the other taking a similar premise.
Well, that's definitely busy. At first I thought the thing on the guy's back was a giant clapperboard.Freedom Wars

Yep, Freedom Wars continuing the trend:
Likely more, but it's the exact position and angle.
Oh, and while not involving FW, get a load of this:
Jesus.

At what point does a trend become tradition, or a trope? I ask because back facing protagonist fighting monster has been a thing since the granddaddy of the co-operative action genre:
The first MH launched in 2004.
Good point, It just caught my eye because of the angle. If nitpicking, the MH1 box has Rathalos facing left with the hunter on the right side. Eldar Saga's box has both characters on each side (granted the main hero is on the left).
God Eater Burst is also that IIRC.
We're dragging a bit off-topic.

I'm glad they kept the black top instead of going with the blue one.

do the tropico games sell well on console?
It's always been weird to me that they exist on console.

Wait... why do PS3 games have blue bars too?
1. Isn't there enough box art discontinuity with the PlayStation 3 -> PS3 rebranding?
2. Wouldn't it confuse prospective buyers with PS3 and PS4 games?

Yeah, when did this start? It seems like a bad idea.
