Wow @ Resident Evil 4 Wii boxart PAL #1



That is very nice stands out compared with the Gamecube one:


and the PS2 one (which is admittedly the same but redder):

It's ok, but I liked the black/red combo way better. It's a lot moodier

I like the actual art, but yeah, black/red is a much better combination. The logo is harder to make out on the Wii boxart, and the white glow effect to compensate for that just makes it look cheaper.

PS2 version looks the best by far.. white background just doesnt work, looks like he is standing in front of a nuke blast.

I'm really looking forward to this. Only €30, widescreen and we PAL'ers get to play the game for the first time in progressive scan. Joy all around.

I wish more publishers would start designing around white for thier Wii boxart. It also stands out more on shelves.

All of the PAL boxarts for RE4 knock the shit out of their US and Japan counterparts. Japan's in particular, are so terrible. I'm jealous :(

They've changed some of the trees slightly from the PS2 box and removed one of the birds and moved another one's location.

What does all this mean? I'm expecting a full report when I come back in an hour

It means the Wii version had to be sacrificed due to it's inferior processing capabilities.

That's sexy as hell.

I'm such a whore for RE4, I'll be buying it again. It'll probably be updated to next gen graphics someday too, and I'll be back once more.

For the Wii edition, so far I'd agree. But I really am not a fan of the red on the GC and PS2 versions. :(

Here's Japan's boxart from Play-Asia, but I don't know where they got the original image.

PAL GCN Box is still the best IMO. Minimalist and classy.

PS2 and Wii boxes are ok though. PS2 one having a lot of trees is a bit lame since since they cut 70% of the trees from that version
