At first I thought it's too nice, then I saw the head and now I think it might be too cruel. lol

I miss Crytek Far Cry

 

[Seanspeed]

This is one of those things that I would have never thought twice about until somebody said something about it.

 

[Fjordson]

Oh it will. It's a GOTY contender, calling it now. It won't get it because it's not going to be as big a name as Uncharted or Skyrim or whatever the media darling will be this year but i wouldn't be surprised if it's the best game of the year or top 3 at the worst.

I can see that. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Like I said, I'm really hoping it ends up as crazy as it looks.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I get this weird Dead Island vibe from that boxart. Like Far Cry 3 is that game, sans zombies.

 

[Fersis]

I like it. :3

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Is it just me or does the head look like an older Shia LeBeouf

[SafeinSound]

Haha, I kind of like the box art for some reason.

But these photoshops are much better.

Amazing.

I really don't see the problem with it.

As for the actual cover, I think it's ok (the PAL version anyway, the NTSC version with that radial blur looks just weird). Nothing fancy, but the protagonist and the antagonist are depicted and as the relationship between these two appears so centric I think it's a good choice of Ubisoft to start that right at the cover.

 

[HK-47]

best

 

[JWong]

Someone let the Petz's boxart artist at it.

 

[mujun]

Personally think the art is awesome and not just because the bad guy has the same haircut as me.

 

[TriGen]

One of the worst covers I've seen in a long time.

 

[mattiewheels]

Is the US version a joke? Why did they redraw his face? Looks fantastic in the original, on the US one he looks like a bad cartoon.

Plus, I swear to god, the guy looks exactly like a psycho version of Tony Curtis, ha.

 

[zethren]

The US version is horrible.

The blurring looks terrible, and redrawing the antagonist's face (particularly accentuating more of a scowl in his brow) looks ridiculous...

 

[Dennis]

Probably the worst cover ever.

[beelzebozo]

so unexpected and bizarre that it crosses smoothly over into intriguing and awesome.

This Thread is AMAZING! Can't Stop Laughing!

 

[Odrion]

Man, I had to see the US version myself.

The US edit is TERRIBLE. Like Imaginez bad. That cannot actually be the boxart.

Yeah, the US version is hideous. You poor bastards. I think the art is actually pretty swish; the head in the sand is a bit off, though.

 

[rozay]

artistic integrity right?

 

[Skidd]

Looks just as generic as any other cover these days, except this one portrays insanity pretty damn well.

 

[Nemesis_]

Far Cry 2 isn't a game you can pick up and finish quickly can you? I want to finish it off but I just don't have the time anymore

Also I like the box art. The facial expression is just off on the dude in the sand, though.

 

[rouken]

i think it's a nice change of pace from fps boxarts these days,

what other game have the antagonist in their boxarts?

[fushi]

I love the art.

 

[Shtof]

This game is gonna sell a lot to the kids.

 

[subversus]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Fudgepuppy]

I think it's got balls.

 

[edgefusion]

I find the guy on the cover incredibly attractive. Is that wrong?

 

[Panipal2009]

i hate this cover this is the sort of game cover i like

.

 

[RoyalFool]

I quite like the cover, it's slightly odd but I find that endearing in a 'What cha thinking bout?' 'just torture and stuff' kind of way. Interesting to have the villain on the cover, unless I'm missing something..

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

That's the worst cover for a high-profile game I've seen in a long time.

 

[Prime crotch]

That's actually a pretty good cover, sorry.

[mattiewheels]

This version seems like a bad joke. The original's actually great, this is like a terrible fan made version. I can hear the US execs: "Why, that villain doesn't look EVIL enough, we want to change that face so the folks know he's BAD. And crazy up that background, I don't know what the original artist was trying to say but frankly it disturbs me!"

 

[Sethos]

 

[Nemesis_]

Making him look "happy angry" makes him look so terrible. I don't know why anyone higher up would approve this.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Looks like Garnett Lee to me, Farcry 3 confirmed!

This is the best cover.
