Is generic imagery of a random dude with a gun really going to catch people's eye when they're scanning shelves?

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

While it's not the best boxart, it's certainly better than most.

 

[Odrion]

Weird, you'd think they would go with another Big Daddy type thing.

Yeah or show the big bird

2/10

Will buy on Steam and replace grid icon if it sucks.

 

[speculawyer]

I don't care about the cover. I just want the game to ship ASAP. I want a good story-driven game with lots of atmosphere. Bring it on Irrational.

Pretty generic box art

Oh god, thank you for this.

 

[Harlock]

Even if was chosen because the first person shooter marketing, feels like a budge generic first person shooter. Stupid marketing team.

 

[reektann]

I wanted this as the cover :|

[mxgt]

I for one am absolutely shocked at a game cover that has a generic guy holding a gun.

 

[zkylon]

Something like this would've been so much better:

Maybe they'll change it. I hope they'll change it. It's not unheard of.

 

[uncleniccius]

Despite the fact it looks similar to most box arts in the genre, at least it has the Infinite colour.
I wish they'd do a Steelbook with the CE.

 

[Jakabok]

Is Infinite set in the same universe as original Bioshock? Think we might bump into a young Andrew Ryan at any point?

 

[Raziel]

Whenever you feel like $8 isn't that big of a deal, here's my paypal.

lol

 

[Mulberry]

Dude totally looks like Jeff Green from Popcap.

 

[toastyToast]

Predictable

That's what the orange is for

 

[Canis lupus]

I preferred that place holder cover, but this one's not that bad..

 

[Sojgat]

Buff indie pop Crispin Glover. It's what's hot right now.

 

[90TilInfinity]

It's safe to say that the The Last of Us box art will just be Joel with a gun, no?

Naughty Dog tend to release the art for the box very early on, so it's possible we've already seen it:

Maybe they'll move the center the logo, but I expect that to be it. That, or the GameInformer cover at least. Which also has Ellie.

 

[Zaventem]

Holy no no no....why? i guess you don't have faith in your product and have to trick the dudebros to buy it?

 

[Rarity]

Focusing on a character you'll likely never see, while offering little indication as to what the game's actually about. I do not like this cover at all.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Eh....I don't hate it, but they could have done so much more.

 

[show me your skeleton]

the special edition has a different cover, right?

 

[Himself]

Blue, orange and a gun.

At least it's better than the Fuse cover.

Just barely.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

As far as generic box arts look, this one looks pretty good.

It makes no sense for it to not have Elizabeth and Songbird however.

 

[dan2026]

One of the worst covers I've seen in a long time.

Anything, literally anything is better than generic guy with a gun posing.
Graphic designers hang your heads in shame.

 

[hyp3rlink]

Don't like the cover, but move support for ps3 = day1

 

[Whompa]

One of the worst covers I've seen in a long time.

So I take it you missed last week when EA released the cover art for Fuse?

This isn't nearly as bad as some other covers. It's not great, but you're being a little dramatic. There's some really really bad cover art out there.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

What is the only on PlayStation? PS Move support or the BioShock 1 pack in?

 

[Forkball]

I'm surprised the chick isn't on the box considering how much they've been pushing her role. Because when I think of Bioshock, I think of busty anime girls.

Pretty generic box art

Haven't been to this site in over a year. Their new video player is better than the old one but holy shit is their site design liquid ass, now.

 

[op_ivy]

i fucking hat ethis games art, but i like that cover. shrug

 

[Writer_Head]

generic, boring and forgettable

 

[Jedi2016]

Considering that Bioshock is more about the mood and the feel of the environments, I'd say this is absolutely a better cover. It's not about the characters per se.. Columbia IS the main character.

 

[Ivan]

delete, sorry

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Generic.

I would be fine with that box art, good shit.

 

[Skilotonn]

Such incredible art, cleanliness and color, yet the word generic is thrown around so much in here.

Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with some of you - if you don't like it, fine, but generic?

does anyone really uses PS Move to play games?

Fucking ew. What ever happened to selling an intriguing and beautiful game with intriguing and beautiful box art?

Really? you don't get how this could be considered generic?

A male caucasian on the center holding a gun. It barely showcases the setting. You probably won't even see that dude 99.9999% of the time in the game.

 

[AuthenticM]

Maybe they'll change it. I hope they'll change it. It's not unheard of.

Gaf needs to find the files for those covers and customize them.

Probably my favourite game box this generation.

Almost perfect, much more up my alley.

i like it with the off center title.
has an old school, bleak vibe to it.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

This shit looks Irrational.

Eliminate the borders and you've got my vote. They look a bit tacky.
