Looks okay. Nothing special. So is a 2013 released confirmed? I mean already the cover and so much general information dropped.

That's the cover inside the limited and non-limited. Limited looks exactly the same as the us one. Elite Knight Helmet etc.

Yeah, I don't understand it either since they are both literally the same company.

It's not bad but just like with DeS and DaS we're getting the lesser cover
Pretty much.Sort of boring. If he were holding a gun instead of a sword, people would be going apeshit.
Really, it's a CoD/BF/BS/Gears/ETCETERA game cover with a sword instead.
The limited edition will make up for it!

Yeah the double standards are pretty apparent. I just hope the JP cover is decent or it has a reversible one.

The PC cover has the right amount of space between the dude's head and the title.
The craftsmanship looks fine to me. The concept however is pretty cliche. Change the outfit and this could be for pretty much any game. It's a solid cover but nothing special.
Well, sums up what you'll be doing for most of the game.
Controlling a walking, lifeless, husk!
Even has the view we'll be seeing a lot, the back of our character!!
But I think it's the best box art of the 3, Demon's Souls US box art sucked, and Dark Souls US was passable.
the grayscale complaint always shows a lack of visual acuity. it's a popular but arbitrary criticism.
it's a good looking image, but it's obviously not challenging any standards.

quick paint job, someone with Photoshop skills can improve on it.
wot?
black and brownish and grey and white would be accurate enough for you?
my problem with is is that it's boring, uneventful and uninspiring, it's just a dude walking towards some mist, he doesn't even have a shield or looks strong or weak or anything.
it doesn't evoke anything from me as the demon's souls or dark souls 1 or dks pc covers did, in which they showed interesting characters in cool poses that piqued your curiosity and whatnot.
then again imma buy this on steam so what does the cover matter, really.

Yup. It's quite cool, but I often like the CoD/BF ones like that. I think MW2's cover is boss.Sort of boring. If he were holding a gun instead of a sword, people would be going apeshit.
Really, it's a CoD/BF/BS/Gears/ETCETERA game cover with a sword instead.
But yeah, I wonder how much of the praise in here is because it's cool to like Dark Souls, because it is basically incredibly generic, even if it is rather gorgeous along with it.
Damn it, figures someone would be doing the exact same cover as me.
Oh well, here's mine:
Very nice, look at that guy! So desperate!
I prefer it to the official cover, but the best one imo is the DeS Asia one

This is the best DS mock-up I've seen.
Alright, you got a chuckle out of me.

If they are trying to establish Dark Souls and its whole gameplay formula and identity as the industry's swordy fantasy equivalent to the modern shooter model, in terms of being a concept which is accepted by mass audiences and repeated and refined and attempted to be duplicated by many other developers for years to come, well then I wholeheartedly accept our new cruel overlords.
Looks kinda dull imho, everything is grey and it kinda reminds me of those FPS covers except that the knight has his back turned against the viewer.
This is would be great though!

If anyone knows where to get a higher resolution of that pic, let me know. I'm gonna do a full cover for the alternate cover thread for when this come out.
This is would be great though!
