Game cover art has been a mixed bag for so long now. There are so many amazing ones and yet so many just bland/ boring ones too. The reverse art for my Bioshock Infinite Xbox 360 case is amazingly simple and I display it as such. But for me nothing beats og Dead Space art and most importantly, og Demon's Souls art. The original japanese cover art for Demon's Souls is one of my all time favorite box arts for a game. Its just so... bleak and melancholy. I love it.

Ok bricky, in defense of bioshock infinite that wasn't the original plan. Initially the devs wanted to heavily feature elizabeth on the front cover, either alone or at least side by side with booker. This makes sense considering she's arguably the main character of the game, even more so than booker. The execs, however, decided to go for dude with gun to appeal to a broader demographic of college bros (since obviously the guys who play a couple matches of fifa or nfl or maybe cod per month are the ideal target for a highly philosophical and metaphorical single player campaign), so the current box art was the result. That said at least the devs heavily insisted to at least put liz on the back, which is better than nothing i guess.

​@@Jormyyy2013 was a different time. Teenage boy was the assumed default gamer and it was still widely seen as a hobby for manchildren if you were an adult who played videogames regularly. It took a long time to overcome that stereotype and finally have games be treat as a serious medium. Building on that progress, it's only the past couple of years where the industry has branched out and started to include wider demographics.

Additional comment about the Wolfenstein New Order art; it does the same thing the Killzome games do. It depicts the villians of the game instead of the protagonists. It challenges the viewer it pick up the game and defeat these depicted villains.

More accurate title would be 'Box Art goes hard' alot of the discounted entries were also fantastic but since its not 'one character dominates the foreground/villain dominates background' they were put down for it. I agree with most of the entries for sure but this was just a cover art Vibe Check
@AkronymCLT
@AkronymCLT 2 ай бұрын
I feel like for your box art to really hit you need to nail at least one of two things: just a purely aesthetically interesting image, and some degree of visual storytelling. Like the thing that elevates that Wolfenstein cover over other 'guy with a gun' covers is the implication that the faceless thug is just one of many, and it has strong, bold colour direction. That Mass Effect 1 cover doesn't feel all that unique to me conceptually, but the fact that they depicted the looming threat of Saren hanging over the main characters at all does so much to elevate it imo

I am totally with Bricky with the Armored Core 6 box art. I really don't like the AC6 box art but I love AC6. Also, I like Replicant's art a lot, the 3D one vs the concept art. I like both Replicant's remake's art but the American Release of Automata is gross and I don't even really like the JP cover art either but that's less a problem of the art and implications of the game.
