Someone start a petition, this looks beyond awful.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Generic DBZ box art

 

[Thatanas]

Looks fine.

 

[night814]

That's eye catching

 

[Whales]

Goku FighterZ

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Reminds me of Budokai 3

 

[udivision]

Super saiyan 2 Goku though...

Looks bleh.

 

[Altered Juice]

Generic box art as always...

 

[Death Insurance]

Yikes

 

[Zalman]

Bandai Namco has no idea how to make good Dragon Ball box art.

 

[Neoxon]

He doesn’t even go SSJ2 in-game.

It’s still tolerable compared to most DB games’ box art, but it could be much better.

 

[HabeeNo]

Reminds me of Budokai 3

Only fair to use the best Budokai game, no complaints here lol

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Yeah, that's terrible. This game deserves better box art.

 

[DecoReturns]

Just looks boring.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yeh that's pretty bad.


Edit: Wow, this post has now been edited!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Hopefully we get a different one, because yikes.

 

[Neoxon]

Hopefully we get a different one, because yikes.

I hope so as well, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

 

[AgentLampshade]

It's one step above generic.

 

[Heartskips]

Awful boxart. Everything about it is bad.

 

[budpikmin]

I get the feeling that's actual gold foil on the art

 

[N7.Angel]

Looks meh, I expected better from them...

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I think it looks fine?

SSJ/SSJ2 Goku is overplayed on boxarts but going off the other thread I expected something worse.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Wow...this is bad.

 

[-Horizon-]

That's kind of lame all things considering what it could've been.

 

[Kade]

They've already got the FGC convinced so they needed to go with a generic boxart to attract people who play Dragon Ball Z games.

 

[Strangelove77]

That's...boring.

 

[rockman zx]

Is very yellow/orange, needs some blue.

 

[Thorakai]

Lol beyond awful? I think some y’all need a history lesson in bad box art.

 

[blackjon24]

Lame box art but what’s the big deal? In NA and European we always get a different box art

 

[AZUMIKE]

Looks fine

 

[Sn4ke_911]

This would be better but it makes it look like 17 is its own character lol

Put 17 behind 18 and use Janemba on 17's previous spot and we have a way better boxart.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

That's awful honestly.

 

[NotLiquid]

The box art in and of itself is okay.

But the fact that it doesn't emphasize the unique 3v3 structure makes it a pretty bad one for the game. It doesn't really tell me anything about it other than "yeah, this is another DBZ fighting game I guess", when it's so obvious Bamco want it to be so much more than that.

 

[Moon Presence]

Awful.

 

[JayEH]

Took a good 2 minutes to come up with that.

 

[Atlas157]

The only thing I dislike about that cover is Goku's face, everything else is fine.

 

[shoryukens]

Uff, that's pretty bad.

 

[Human Trashcan]

That's some shockingly ugly line art. They could've used assets from the game and it would've looked better than this lmao

 

[Sn4ke_911]

The only thing I dislike about that cover is Goku's face, everything else is fine.

I'm the opposite, Goku's face looks fine but everything else looks bad.

 

[ODDI]

All that empty space is for the GoTY awards.

 

[NSESN]

That kind of art can actually affect sales, hope they cahnge it.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

ew

asw box art is usually good too

 

[silva1991]

Generic DBZ box art

That's not even as good as generic goes.

 

[delta_reg]

This looks pretty bad, honestly. It's generic Goku fighting pose and nothing else, even the art doesn't look great in comparison to how the game looks. It says nothing about the game other than it's a DBZ game.

 

[Savitar]

That cover is pure ass.

 

[bobawesome]

This would be better but it makes it look like 17 is its own character lol

Put 17 behind 18 and use Janemba on 17's previous spot and we have a way better boxart.

Generic character pyramids are much worse.

 

[Marvel]

Garbage.

 

[Egida]

Generic character pyramids are much worse.

Too many Ki balls too.

 

[HardRojo]

The box art in and of itself is okay.

But the fact that it doesn't emphasize the unique 3v3 structure makes it a pretty bad one for the game. It doesn't really tell me anything about it other than "yeah, this is another DBZ fighting game I guess", when it's so obvious Bamco want it to be so much more than that.

This is basically my main problem with it, nothing tells you what kind of game to expect, they should've taken advantage of the 3v3 aspect and the fact that it is an actual fighting game to come up with a much more representative boxart.

 

[Star Orpheus]

This is pretty bad. There have been much better Dragon Ball,Arc fighters, and Bandai Namco boxarts.

I don’t know why modern Dragon Ball games are stuck with such boring covers. Is a simple groups shot to much to ask for?

Not saying these are all amazing but I’d take them over just generic Goku action pose. At least for Budokai 3 the darkness kind of gave it a minimalistic feel.
