looks horrible.

 

[Yagharek]

Reminds me of PAL Lost Planet boxart. I like the colours. Nice blues.

 

[guise]

Is it just me, or are the main characters of all the big games coming out this year featured on the box art in exactly the same pose, just a different camera angles.

 

[test_account]

I think it looks ok. Altho the blue characters gives more of a futuristic feel than an ancient feel in my opinion.

Anyway, here's the PS3 Boxart:

Yeah a yellow/brown would of been better imo.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

"Predictable"

Are you thinking of the time traveling rumors? If so, its been confirmed that there is no time traveling in the game

Yep, i think that would be better too

 

[Splatt]

Horrible.

i do remember, from some of the videos we've seen, that when the character dies this futuristic menu-ish type of thing comes up with all these numbers. that looks pretty futuristic compared to the rest

 

[Defuser]

Looks like Def Jam Icon Middle Age Era...

 

[justjohn]

it doesnt look that bad. christ

Ye, there was some rumors about time traveling, but there was an interview with Jade Raymond and she said there was no time traveling in the game. Maybe we're up for a suprise? Doubt it tho.

Time to pull out a classic!

[Shake Appeal]

perfectly serviceable

what were you expecting?

I thought it was pretty much confirmed that it has some connections with the future, e.g the main character is stuck in a machine that sent his mind back or something. I also recall reading that it will be a trilogy where one of the sequels will take place in the future (but now that I think about it I can't recall at all where I actually read that).

 

[ORANGUTAN]

Horrible? Whatever lol.. it looks fine.

 

[tahrikmili]

Best description evar.

 

[Saitou]

Wasn't the whole 'futuristic' thing implying that it takes place in a Matrix-like cyberspace? That's what I thought it was. Hence, no time travel necessary.

Anyway, here's the PS3 Boxart:

it looks ok. not classic but ok.

 

[Rogultgot]

Could be ICO.

 

[Durante]

The PS3 box looks slightly better, because there's no green in addition to blue and red. Having a primary color on every box was a dumb decision in terms of aesthetics IMHO. Anyway, it's a standard main character + arrangement + text style thing. Not horrible at all, but not very unique either.

 

[Aegus]

Could be ICO.

Not in Europe and Japan.

 

[RubberJohnny]

It's not that bad.

 

[Brannon]

Well at least it's not showing a guy pointing a gun at you slightly to the right. That was getting quite old.

I havnt followed the case around the time traveling that much, but there was an interview (which i unfortunatly cant find now, im 99.99% sure i've seen it (i can't have dreamt it hehe), anyone got a link to it?) with Jade Raymond where she said there would be no time travelig.

I'm not saying there's time traveling but there are connections to the future, found some information on wikipedia here around the 4th paragraph.

 

[Tieno]

Looks generic and too photo-y, like most of the Tom Clancy stuff.
I expected/wanted something more artistic.

Oh well, as long as the game is good I can live with it. It's strange though how many bad box arts there are.

don't worry, the shinkawa mgs4 boxart will look delicious.

The MGS4 limited edition will look even more delicious.

delicious Shinkawa art, i must eat.

 

[antiloop]

Not bad.

Ye, i guess not everything is 100% confirmed yet, i just noticed that she said no time traveling in an interview. I also hope they follow up on the trioligy, the game looks pretty sweet

 

[buckfutter]

Yeah, pretty boring. But there's only a handful of publishers that ever put out nice boxart, and even then it's a rare event. This isn't nearly as bad as that Bioshock mock-up.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Looks like Def Jam Icon Middle Age Era...

You nailed it. Joe Budden would be proud. Very derivative pose:

 

[Basilisco V.]

It's ok, and I don't care about the boxart if the game finally worths the hype..

 

[drohne]

"PLEDICTABOO"

fixed

 

[Visualante]

Should've gone for a greyscale Ubisoft logo or made it fit with the colour palette.

 

[Tieno]

don't worry, the shinkawa mgs4 boxart will look delicious.

They have some good concept art, just slap this baby on it, or something similar.

 

[Community Forum]

I don't see why the logo needs to be so big on all these boxarts. I like the logo, I like the general concept of the idea they are trying to portray with the art, it's just that the end result is not artistic at all. GIANT game logo. GIANT Ubisoft logo. Why not be more subtle? Are people NOT going to be able to find the game on the shelf without a huge logo?

 

[FFChris]

looks horrible.

Lucky I won't be spending 20 hours staring at the box art then.

Really, it doesn't look that bad.

 

[SumGamer]

Apparently, most of them arent.

 

[virtuafightermaster]

I think the xbox360 box art has better AA. :lol

 

[devilscallmedad]

Why isn't the producer on the cover? how i am supposed to know who's game i am buying.

 

[TemplaerDude]

*rolls eyes*

Nothing wrong with that. I think publishers who respect their product and audience should put more effort into their box art.

 

[pringles]

*awaits photoshop of boxart with Jade Raymond's face on it*

 

[hyonoid]

Looks good. I wait that Ubiport don´t delay the PS3 version.

 

[eXistor]

Yeah I think it's ugly as sin as well, but the game should rock so who cares.
