BioShock Infinite Official Box Art Design Revealed
2K Games and Irrational Games have today revealed the official box art design for the highly anticipated BioShock Infinite videogame. Set for release early next year, BioShock Infinite is currently in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
(BioShock: Infinite, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Yeah it's a bit heavy on the action hero. Hopefully we get a nice subtle thin case like we did with the first bioshock. It's a strong logo, doesn't really need a picture.
Yeah, they should've used the girl on the cover like the first one, which imo invoked emotion, just like the actual game. But maybe this game will lean towards more action than Irrational's first one.
The cover is the original Uncharted cover in reverse. BUT really, who cares? We all know the games is going to be amazing. I would buy it, if it came in a paper sleeve honestly.
I agree but they may be going with this kind of action hero cover just for the moms and casual gamers that wander around the store just looking to grab a game that they know nothing about.
All of the non-casual gamers like us already plan on buying it no matter the cover so they don't have to worry about us liking the look.
i can't hate on the gaming seeing how i pre ordered the $150 collectors edition lol. How often a game box makes you say i have to get this game? its something you look at once and im my case never because i buy the game its in a bag than i come home put the disk inside my system and that's all for the box.
I can understand it from a marketing stand point, but from a graphic design point the purist in me hates these main character covers. My favorite cover this gen is either Oli Moss's Resistance 3 cover or the Sleeping Dogs cover. oh and Heavy Rains origami cover was really cool and understated.
Very generic. Cancelling preorder. Kidding, of course, i don't have a preorder. Considering the subject and setting, they could have done a lot with it. But you can't judge a game by its cover.
If I didn't know what this game was about, this cover does nothing at all to inform me. That is a disappointment. This appears to be very generic and not at all inventive or exciting, which is not at all what we have come to expect from Irrational.
It does to me. 1. there will be guns 2. the main character has 1930's clothes (set in 1930s) 3. there is a zepplin (sky action) 4. the background is clouds (sky action) 5. burning American flag suggests anarchy
it could've been better, but don't say it doesn't tell you anything about the game.
*6 months ago* "Bioshock Infinite looks amazing OMG I can't wait! I was getting sick of Rapture!" *Now* "This game's gonna blow because of its bad box art game looks generic, bring back Rapture, blah blah blah."
Seriously, I do hope we never actually see the main character's face in game. From the videos I had seen so far I had an image of the protagonist looking like Buster Keaton, maybe a little taller and more masculine but certainly nothing like Mr. Squarejaw McFauxhawk here,
I like it. Granted a million different things could have been done but remember what the gaming industry has become. *Cough* Call of Duty *Couch* Why would they put all this cool character design on it like the songbird when the mass moronic populace will look at it and go "what the hell is that?, Ill get the game with the military guy on it with a gun" I sold games for the last 6 years this is how it goes 99% of the time. They are just looking to grab that market. Either way it is going to be an amazing game and we all know it.
I'm not feeling this nor the new main character redesign (facial). hmmmm.
I really would like to know what the f went down at Irrational over the past 6 months. Dropping of multiplayer (yay!), leaving of some of the main guys on the dev team, main character redesign.
Stop complaining about it. Yeah it's different from the first two, that's the point. It's a different time period and a completely different setting. They want to make it look different because it is different.
lol

Edit: All the cover needs now is Captain America wearing a Proud to be Republican t-shirt.

I'm with you dude!

Sometimes I just don't get the gaming community.
BAD! BAD PUN!
I like it though.
