Quote: "Pretty boxes are created to attract people to them, and most gamers would be quite content to purchase a blank piece of paper as the cover of a box if it included their favourite game inside. And so, the idea here is that those people who would be attracted by the pretty boxes are either inherently not gamers, or prone to falling prey to pretty boxes.
These are the types of people who will pay serious money for a game that has an alien from James Cameron’s Aliens on the cover, because Aliens… and we all know the folly of that action. "

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
Means alot for the average joe, like a guy i know said ''dude, look at that guy, he's so badass!''
was the cod cover, he instant buyed it not even knowing anything except what the cover offered about it.
/sigh
Don't matter that much for hardcore gamers but maybe for them nerds.. screw the box.. it's what's inside that counts..and when you have them on your selves you can just see the back of it..
They make a big first impression to uninformed gamers. So it is important to have a striking cover when selling retail.
I think it was Kevin Levine who explained the points stated above when Bioshock Infinite was getting all that crap for its cover.
didn't Naughty Dog say Ellie was the focus of the story? even the trailers seem to direct that. Just because she's an AI doesn't mean she shouldn't be on the cover. Just because you're controlling the character doesn't mean it needs to be on the cover. It really depends what the game is about.
