So, hey, I've got a question.

Is there a decent repository for box art out there somewhere? I'm not talking somebody like Amazon, but a site where you can quickly and easily find cover art for games past, present, or future?

Second question I guess would be: would anybody have actual interest in such a thing if there isn't already one? I always visit these threads because it's interesting to see what covers for upcoming games are looking like, but I wonder how many people would then care about past covers.

Part of the reason I'm asking is this: I'm currently working on Play's new website, and one of the things I'm doing now is trying to get cover art up for some of the games we've got. In trying to find art for some of these games, I'm having a heck of a time finding nice quality versions out there on the net. The new system I've put together for looking through the images we have on our new site would end up working really nice for also being a kind of cover art archive, and if that's something people would want, I could make sure to get higher-quality images added whenever I come across them.

You're in the gaming press, don't you have access to publishers' FTPs where they usually have boxarts?

As for your second question, I don't think people would really care about boxart for already released games, plus anyone could go to IGN or Amazon or Google Images to find a boxart for such a game anyway.

Not all the time, and not always for older stuff.

That's why I asked - to see if anybody cares. And almost all of the stuff that you'll find from sites like that are either low quality, tiny, or watermarked.

I don't know why, but I actually feel bad for Konami. This game is going to bomb instantly. Wrong time to cash in, Konami! You're a little bit late =(

[Celery&Lager]

OMG at the White boxart. Can't stop laughing. Seriously this is the worst ever!

I think the guitarist is about to vomit. Appropriate.

Looks more like a sneeze to me.

[Brakara]

Hmmm, Rating Pending. This better be an M.

[Pizza Luigi]

I love how white is the least used color on the Shaun White's boxart...

[castle007]

:O

awesome

[grandjedi6]

That is awful

[PepsimanVsJoe]

The emphasis on the word "WHITE" really bugs me for some odd reason.

That's because they wrote it in orange.

Here are all the goodies that come with the collector's edition of Fable 2



Sorry if this is old, but I didn't see it in any of the other threads.

[Strider2K99]

KOF '94, '95, '96, '97 and '98 for the Wii, PS2, and PSP.

In one form or another, it will be mine.

Yeah, but Will's got the lips. Shaun's just got long hair.

[Danj]

Someone should photoshop this to say "Snow White Dwarftossing" or something.

[Olaeh]

Nice KOF boxart. ACforA and Shaun White not so much.

[DiddyBop]

hopefully they price armored core at 39.99

[Urban Scholar]

Now I have to get this game for that cover alone seriously. Also I'm disappointed in the AC For Answer cover, at least its not bad as AC4.

[Urban Scholar]

Nah at work today I saw it up for $59.99

[Rawkus]

[inner-G]

I love how they blatantly re-use the art for the pig with the monocle in that last one.

[Struct09]

I didn't know they were making a Pass the Pigs video game

That game was fun!

[ZealousD]

I don't like that Gauntlet boxart. It has absolutely zero shelf presence.

[Toy Soldier]

^ Still, day one.

[Ephemeris]

Love the cover / Day one.


Awesome O_o



Not bad. Could use more Sasuke, however.

WHY ? why scamco ? Sasuke srsly ? is kishimoto the new chairman of namco or something ? , this is pure crap , first Naruto part 2 turned to Sasuke Adventues now he is on Naruto game boxarts ..

Cry More, Please. To answer your question first and foremost ( ), people voted and chose that cover. However, I believe all the other choices had Sasuke in it so you wouldn't have been pleased regardless.

I think it makes sense, isn't Sasuke the second most important character in that show?

Plus he's the creator's favorite character.

ugh....

[M3wThr33]

The hell is this?

[Drkirby]

Are you telling me that real O_o

[grandjedi6]

Awful

Hilarious

Man ive never been so excited for a Sonic game in years! But WHY does Sega have to mess it up with that werewolf crap?!

[Haunted]

That Castlevania boxart is badass.

AHUAHUAHUA

It begins.

[Strider2K99]

There's so much photoshop potential here.

[FateBreaker]

Yikes

[Guybrush Threepwood]

lol wtf

[Totobeni]

OH SEGA ..

[Shig]

That Sonic one's objectively a really good boxart.

I'm sure it'll catch the eye of anyone not aware the werehog portion represents some idiosyncratic DMC-lite gameplay shoehorning.

[NameGenerated]

I thought Sonic: Unleashed was going to be an XBLA/PSN game....oh well.
