Its fucking sad how a bunch of dudes in this thread can make better boxarts in half an hour than a billion dollar professional company.

Despite the very terribad box art im still hoping the game will deliver a solid solo fps experience akin to Wolfenstien New Order.

I wonder if Bethesda gets the hint lol. I'm sure they must have seen all these at some point.

This cover is perfect. Sent it to bestesda , with a link of this thread. Seriously, thry might consider it. After seeing that horrible cover, i have my doubt about buying it.

I very much doubt the matter of the official cover is open for debate, but I can see Bethesda warming to the idea of offering an alternative cover a la 2K with BioInf.

It's an improvement, but it's too similar to Wolfenstein's.

The idea of the cover is not bad, but the execution in that instance is horrible.
 
He appears to be having balancing issues due to that chunky suit redistributing his center of gravity towards the top. Looks like he'd wobble and fall over if he tried to move. So instead he's kind of just standing there.
 
After sifting through this thread, page by page, Bethesada will no doubt reconsider the box art. Doom, being the Fps that changed the gaming landscape for all time, deserves better than this shit cover they have currently. Though, I'm still in the placeholder camp myself. Late!

Doomguy and his demonbros go for a stroll in urineland.

I don't mind the piss color at all personally. And I really don't get the hate when a game's color palette is designed around it.(And they usually are and often have some significance like the irradiated wasteland in Fallout or represent the muggy humid near desert heat in RE5, I loved the gold look of HR too)
Not everything has to be super oversaturated ultra realistic 1:1 real life colors!

It's better than Hollywood Orange and Blue at least. And movies almost always never look true to the conditions they were actually filmed in too.

thanks for the laugh
That's because the original doom has one of the most icon game covers ever.

Doesn't bother me but not nearly as awesome as this:
latest



'Course, the modern gamer market would probably actually prefer the one they went with. The darker, more "mature" box art. Blah!

just had the realisation that big man in the bottom left took the photo.
 
No offense but that high contrast red one is.. uh.. not as great as the people quoting it seem to think. not that you guys shouldn't make mockups or whatever makes you happy.

also it's a box.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
The one's users are posting are worse than the one they are going with.. also LOL at people saying they won't buy the game because the cover is lame. You are either going to buy it anyhow and are just spouting nonsense, or you were never going to buy it to begin with.
