Ito's Japan boxart revealed
Quite a different style from Ito's usual work, I like it
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
Why the hell isn't North America using that one?

That looks frickin' awesome!
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
That's better than the PAL and NTSC combined!
Maybe if eventually they release a special edition steel case in Europe and America using this design....

Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
But why does this look nice while we get the shitty ones? Once again, we see how Japanese people can make huge differences with small changes.
There was a SIGNATURE here. It's gone now.
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
Better than NA's box. Typical.

Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
It reminds me a bit of the SH4 box with the bot subtle ghost all in your face... This one is a bit better anyway...
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
I don't know what that cover has to do with the game, but it looks nice. Infinitely better than the NA cover.

It is pretty cool. I wish there was some way for Europe & USA to get it.
We are still here...

Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
-facepalm- Oh, Konami. They just keep screwing poor America over. I agree with you all about that damn boxart. Why the Hell does the US get the shitty end of the stick when it comes to this game? Ugh...

Am I the only one who doesn't think it looks good?
That's not a defense of the American boxart. That's not good, either, but this doesn't look any better or less generic.

Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
It does look better but I can't see what it has to do with the game and the logo/font still sucks.
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
I love it! Hopefully Konami will do the right thing and at least give us reversible covers or dual covers or something!

The first thing I thought when I saw it was "man, he must have just pulled some sketch he did out, slapped it into photoshop, made stuff blue, and shipped it off."
Honestly, it doesn't even have much of a recognizable quality to it as being from Ito. It looks more like a photo manipulation with some stock photo and white drapes.
Maybe he was trying to channel Francis Bacon with the screaming mouth? I don't know, not really impressive regardless.
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
I dig the shit out of that And yes, why isn't NA using that?

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this as well. I'm actually disappointed by Ito's job here.Typographenia wrote:I agree.Kenji wrote:Am I the only one who doesn't think it looks good?

Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
It might not look that good (and it's still a generic horror art) but you can't deny that it's better than America's boxart.
Re: Ito's Japan boxart revealed
i think it looks fine. i don't really care about videogame covers enough to give an indepth critique about them. as long as it looks kool, i'm happy. this looks kool enough, and is definitely better than the other covers seen thus far. i'll probably try and print it off to use for the game.

I hate to be that guy, but I attribute it to Ito's skill and familiarity with the series moreso than his nationality.Piramit Kafa wrote:But why does this look nice while we get the shitty ones? Once again, we see how Japanese people can make huge differences with small changes.
That being said, I wish we got that cover here. =0( Not sure if it's gonna really represent the game's story or whatever, but it looks cool enough.
