I don’t even buy PS4 physical games and I’m disappointed. These look bad. The clear case looks worse tbh.

 

[jshackles]

So they're really going all in with this whole "black and white" thing, huh?

 

[bosnianpie]

I've always liked the combination of blue and white so I think it looks good. Not really necessary to make some radical changes to the design.

 

[THEAP99]

No only on PlayStation logo..

 

[LordCBH]

The white and black clashes horribly with the blue. Go back to clear cases for that.

 

[FranXico]

Would look better with clear cases:

Sony is just being cheap as usual. Easier to just keep using those blue boxes they already stocked.

 

[R6Rider]

Would look better with clear cases:

This looks worse.

 

[Juzo]

Would look better with clear cases:

Much much better.
The one in the OP looks jarring AF

 

[JunkerWoland]

For the PS4, I never liked how the top banner bled into the upper portion of the spine. With this new design, the white background on the banner & spine, along with the black text, look like placeholder images for missing artwork; at minimum, adding some slight texture to the white background would make things appear more like a conscious decision, instead of a printing mistake.

 

[LordCBH]

Change the logo bar to black. Remind everyone of the PS2.

 

[REE Machine]

Sexy as fuck, please have a custom console for Miles Morales

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I dislike it... Seems to cheap.

I wish it could be like ps3 games case

 

[Zoro7]

Imagine not caring so much that you clicked on a thread called "Box art for upcoming PS5 games"

Yes I did. To see it. Then being like it looks ok. End of.
Seeing some of the responses here is embarrassing.

In what way? The later end of the ps3 gen was when they started focusing on the blue boxes after they changed from that stupidass spiderman font to the ps3 moniker.

edit: actually I think the ps3 cases werestill black, I’m thinking of the vita cases

 

[Manus]

The white makes it look like someone made a cover on a printer and put it in the case.

Don't like.

 

[Codes 208]

n/m

agree overall, it looks pretty basic. Tbf MS isn’t doing much different between the XBO and XSX boxes (all they did was change the title on top from xbox one to xbox) but atleast the color is unique for Blu-ray cases.

 

[sendit]

Horrible box art + a waste of plastic. Disc medium needs to go.

 

[R6Rider]

I made a black and red version:

[Lionel Richie]

Looks nice (would look nicer with the black border instead of blue border as R6Rider did above). Reminds me a bit of how I use foobar2000, the hard black and white contrast is very boss.

 

[Pallas]

Looks ok I guess, not really a fan Of the white, but I guess they need to match their router(console) theme. Honestly kind of wish games still used the jewel cases of the older days.

 

[Astral Dog]

It looks flawless as it is

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

Kind of funny seeing the black and white banner. Reminds me of the PS2 days. I'm not huge on the design but certainly don't have anything against it. The second gen PS3 cases remain my favorite PlayStation cases.

At this point I am all digital so the appearance of the case doesn't mean as much to me as it did back in 2005 when I was lining my shelves with games. I will say I do find the uniform red spine of Switch games pretty neat.

 

[Kokoloko85]

There we fucking go

looks delicious, away from the blue I’m tired of seeing

Its blue though.....

Give me white, clear or black As the case. Im done with blue cases

 

[T-Cake]

I made a black and red version:

Black case yes, red no. But what about red case with the logo colours reversed - white logo, black banner?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Would look better with clear cases:

Thats way better

 

[kraspkibble]

I like it but it could be pink, purple, yellow for all I care.

Buying discs in 2020 is hilarious. In fact I haven't put a disc in my PS4 since 2014. If I get a PS5 it'll be the all digital model. Hope Xbox has an all digital Series X.

 

[yodine53]

Sony is trying hard to lose this generation. Marketing team is their worst enemy since E3 2018.

 

[Hudo]

I mean, why not have a black or white box as well? Looks half-assed to still use the blue box if the branding is black and white.

 

[R6Rider]

Black case yes, red no. But what about red case with the logo colours reversed - white logo, black banner?

 

[T-Cake]

Thanks, I like that very much. Could you also do black and clear cases with the same logo colour. (If not too much trouble!)

 

[Breakage]

The more I look at it, the more I think they should have gone with an opaque white or black case. Sony said the two-tone colour scheme of the PS5's hardware was done to indicate a clear break from the past, yet that hasn't translated to the game cases. Keeping the exact opaque blue cases says last-gen PS4. The blue just doesn't mesh well with the white band.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Would look better with clear cases:

I think it's a bad idea, not every cover art will be like Morales. Clear cases are boring, it's good to have a color branding

 

[R6Rider]

If by white, you mean clear. It's no problem just a few clicks really:

Thanks again. So definite winner for me is the black case with the black banner and white logo. SONY LISTEN UP!

Is this official cover art? I’m not really fan of Horizon but this is a good cover art, I like to see more cover arts like this in western games.

 

[lame gag1990]

The white label doesn't go with the blue boxes. Who greenlit this shit?

the key art yes the cover no

 

[Md Ray]

I didn't like it at first glance. But I think it's growing on me.

 

[UnNamed]

I made a black and red version:

Black Cases Matter! It also match with PS5 colors, blue doesn't make any sense except they try to recycle the old PS4 cases.

 

[Md Ray]

Black case looks delicious.

 

[ZywyPL]

So they're going all-in with that white-blue theme, shame. Black cover/box is the only proper way,

 

[R6Rider]

the key art yes the cover no

I think with the PS5 logo on the right or the "Only on Playstation" on the right it would help balance out the white space". The problem with cases like this (and other possible cases) it will be a mess of colors contrasting.

 

[Hissing Sid]

The white label doesn't go with the blue boxes. Who greenlit this shit?

 

[Danjin44]

the key art yes the cover no

Well of course there no way they would put actual good looking box art! The official box cover art is either going to be close shot of her face or just standing there with weapon in hand (COD style).


Is it such bad idea to have interesting cover art like this for AAA games?

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

doesn't matter, i'll never buy a physical game next gen

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Black Cases Matter! It also match with PS5 colors, blue doesn't make any sense except they try to recycle the old PS4 cases.

The PS4 isnt blue. Cases were still blue, PS5 has blue light accents. Bluray. Xbox Green, Nintendo Red. Im blue. de DA do da DE.

 

[93xfan]

It needs to have a warped front and back, that goes beyond the top of the blue plastic case. Maybe they could lengthen the paper insert?
