That...cant be real? Never mind the fact that Dante is supper blurry...
Looks like a mess, just a bunch of renders placed randomly without any coordination, generic background, blue color trying to bring everything together and nothing meshes.
It's also messed up that some of the characters just plainly aren't PS All-Stars at all and it gives the cover less impact and just makes it a joke.

...how did they manage to make that allstars boxart worse than the ingame presentation?
[OT] The astronaut inside the church
I'm asking here because I cannot create a new topic. Maybe someone could help me finding the picture I'm looking for.
I'm talking about ad avert concerning a game, old one (PSX or PS2). The game was an RPG and I tought it was Star Ocean but looking around it seems I'm wrong.
What was in the advert
There was an astronaut inside a church. The picture (artwork not ingame) was really awesome and there was the release date of the game at the bottom. I cannot remember anything else.
What game was that?
Thanks so much.

I wished I lived in Japan so I could buy all these vita games with cute girls on the cover
PS all stars is the ugliest thing I've ever seen

Okay, thats cool
Could it be Echo Night: Beyond? I couldn't find the actual ad, but the main character wears a space suit and there is a church (sorta), although the game is set entirely on a Moon base and it's a horror game, not an RPG.

I like the artwork. Let us hope that the Western releases have this one as I do like Japanese artwork.

If you're in NA, wish granted.
Edit: I thought EU was getting a different one, Amazon UK disagrees.

Funny how JP Assassin's Creed covers are so much better than ours.
The true horror is that the mansion is themed after Luigi. It's why it freaks him out so bad.
It's terrible and I don't even know why it's necessary. I feel bad that all the American boxes are ruined by that.

that cover seemed to be in CMYK colours, but yeah, the real cover, as best as i can find:

And this is why I've transitioned so easily from being an anime fan to a My Little Pony fan.
Japanese advertising and general aesthetic sense in the pop art pop culture world is very unicorns and rainbows.
Why can't I have more unicorns and rainbows over here? I'm an American and I love unicorns and rainbows, too. Unicorn power!

What a contrast. Toro, dead centre

Me too.
Now those are some nice boxarts especially the Castlevania one.

A lot of people say they like the moe girls things because they like to have cute attractive girls. And a lot of people blame them of just liking it because of said cute, attractive, whatever girls. Whether good or bad, often times it is people pointing the finger at moe fans.
Me, more than anything, while cute girls are cute. I think I go for the overall cute design of things. Whether it is cats or dogs or ponies or people. And pastel and candy colours. I like cute, colourful design. And of course, when people say Westernization, they're not talking about more settings like Rome or ancient Britain. When talking about video games, they're talking about us getting less of this sort of thing.
I don't know why the West can't be more appreciative of things that are less macho and more "girly". I think that one of the reasons I fell in love with anime when I was still a little kid, was that it was hardly ever overty macho. Incredibly sexist oftentimes yes, but not overtly macho. And with all that saccharine sugariness it was easier to look past cultural flaws.

I love how literally the only characters on the PS All-Stars box Japanese gamers would even recognize are grouped on the front like that, whereas all the nameless nobodies are just kinda hovering around them.

Nice, I like it. EDF4 looks okay too.
Is this one the new Madou Monogatari game?

Yes it is. BTW the character art is done by Mota. He was also the character designer for the DS version of 7th Dragon.

I love it.
One of Idea Factory's upcoming otome games is Princess Arthur [above], which is about the legend of King Arthur. How did that game come about? Was it developed with English-speaking audiences in mind?
Kochiwa: We developed an otome game using the King Arthur legend because there are many female fans in Japan that really enjoy its lore. I believe this is another title that we may possibly consider to be released if there are enough requests for it.
