Tom Martin made the best tribute to it.
>>338586478

>game covers are either to edgey or to plain
>>338586607
God man, that band sucks
>>338587235
It's just, your opinion, man.A storm of swords is a fucking wrecktrain, faggot
>>338587386
I may have gone mad a little bit. It's just because their 8-bit album, i can't fucking stand it
I have a folder but I'm too lazy to dump.
>>338587235
Cool Ed Repka cover though.
>>338586607
That looks nothing like the Doom cover. It's a bog standard thrash cover by Repka.
>>338586478
Heres a fun question: Is it good because the game is good, or is the cover just objectively good?
>>338588849
>Ed Repka
All of their covers are made from Tom Martin, theexsinger.
>>338588907
It's not from Ed Repka, like >>338588984
said. Btw, look at the demon in the lower left corner.
>>338588920
The cover is both exciting and an accurate enough representation of the content of the game, that's why I personally think it's good.
>>338589108
Wow those demons look like trash.
>>338589353
translation when?
those fucks at aeon genesis haven't released a status update in years
A lot of people will disagree with me especially since it's Ass Creed but this cover is pure aesthetics/10
>>338589108
Looks too unfinished - like fanart
Demons look more like aliens
>>338586607
A tribute of a tribute?
>>338589654

>>338589654
Fuckin Garbage, generic shooter guy cover applied to another genre.
Beautiful, minimalistic.

Looks like any Shooter cover made by a AAA.
Also, lightning is fucked.
>>338590596
>>338590670
Trash.
>>338587316
you have a great taste, anon
>>338590737
Sugimoris old art was great.

>>338590868
Pikachu was better with a white belly.
And also now he's too thin, and his head and limbs are too big.
>>338591014
>>338590973
I like your taste(s)
>>338590905
Convulted mess, good game tho.
>>338590973
The American box art is better.
>>338591251
>God Tier Videogame cover
> posts cheap, b movie, porn tier cover.
>>338589654
this is like the very definition of boring, generic cover art
>>338591251
Wut game
I don't read moon runes
Also, I think you forgot the > god tier
>>338591209
It's alright, but the Jap box has more meaning behind it.
>The original Japanese release of this game featured very memorable packaging: a Paulownia-wood box branded with text! We did that because, here in Japan, boxes made of Paulownia wood are often used to store valuables. Since this was a such a special game, we packaged Kirby Super Star in this luxurious material!
>>338589683Since they come from another dimension, they are actually aliens.
Check'em!
>>338590670
This one is kinda generic but I really like the red going through his poncho, as well as the wanted posters on the ground.
>>338591697
Wait they were actually made of wood? I guess that's cool, it'd be lame if it was just printed on paper that way.
Way better than the shitty grey cover we got in the rest of the world
should I keep going?
>>338592184
It's perfect.
I don't like Quake that much but I can't deny the cover is really cool and memorable.
Underrated too.
>>338586478
10/10, an icon of videogames and the unstopable rise of shooters

>>338590973
>generic guy just standing in the middle of the screen
>doesn't tell you anything about the game and assumes you know what kirby is about
>>338594174
That's what the back is for.
>>338594401
if we are counting the back even call of duty is a great cover since they show you shooting things on the back in tiny icons
>>338594480
It doesn't look good though.
>>338591097
I never understood why the cover was written in daedric when it's the official banner of an imperial province.
>>338594539and neither does that shit japanese cover either
its too basic to look good. its literally line art on a brown background, how can you defend that?
I guess I'm the one who has to post it then.
>>338594746
It's the coat of arms of Morrowind. It symbolizes their allegiance to the Empire, strife against the Akaviri and loyalty to Almsivi. Before the Empire came, the Dunmer used ancestral Daedric script. I hope this helps.
>>338594798
Nothing wrong with somplicity, and you're misusing the word 'literally', you're wrong about what it is in that sense. It's literally a branded wooden box.
I'm the guy that said the American box art is better by the way, the Japanese box is still neat and stylish.
>>338595920

>>338596116
Almost all Delphine Software games had amazing covers

>tricking you into believing Snake is the mc

>>338596594
You know you fucked up with the main character when someone grabs his crotch to see what gender he is.
>tfw ruined franchise
>>338594423
Sheeeeit i played this as a dumb kid and gave up on it, need to try it again
Great art and atmosphere too
>>338593137
Why is Joshua Fireseed on the cover, when Tal Set was the Turok in the first game?
>>338589683
Holy shit you're so petty. This boxart is great.
classic
>>338600826
10/10
>>338594868
I actually like this. White is the theme of the snowy shadow moses
what a pile of shit this thread is
I always liked the Dragon Warrior cover.
always loved GTAs covers
This and >>338600826 are the absolute best when it comes to video game covers.

A stylistic classic.
>>338589337
>>338589683
what the fuck are you people complaining about? It looks fine. Not trying too hard and nice clear drawing overall
>>338592384
JP cover is metal as fuck.
>>338603690
>4 resident evil
To be honest from the cover one would guess that this is a clone of Silent Hill but instead of wandering around a town you're trapped in a dark forest and someone with a chainsaw is out there looking for you.
I don't know what the fuck they were thinking
>>338604156
>trapped in a dark forest and someone with a chainsaw is out there looking for you
Well, that isn't far from what you get. At least for the first 1/3 of the game. Also that doesn't retract from how good the design looks.
>>338604516
>batman(tm) is enough to sell the game
That's probably what they thought. That, and that retards will buy anything with a GOTY sticker on it.
>>338592384
That's a good game
>>338587082
that chin. how does he not kill himself.
>>338605478
Always makes me think of some sort of a spiritual successor to Atom Heart Mother.
>>338603201
C+C has great continuity about their covers, knew exactly what setting and how far tech come in the universe just by the cover alone. Always found them great
>>338589654
>it's another "guy walking in the camera direction" episode
>>338603157
this and pic related
i love rockstars cartoon style covers
it's a shame they only used still images for the characters.The art had some potential
Box art got significantly worse after the release of the N64 and PlayStation.
>>338602975
>>338603037
These are dank!
>>338606383
nice
ghibli as fuck
>>338595348
That foreshadowing though
Everything in this game looked cool as fuck back when I was just a kid.
I miss hand drawn boxart
>>338606715
Psygnosis was well known for having excellent box art. There's a lot more here.
> http://web.stanford.edu/group/htgg/cgi-bin/drupal/?q=node/435
>>338589130
>cover
that's just a poster
Always been a fan of this one.
>>338607248
Nice, I see they used real sci fi/fantasy artists, seems like a dying art for some reason even though they are more awe inspiring than any game cover in years
>>338607818
Old EA logo was A E S T H E T I C
what a great cover, too
>>338603203
Came here to post this, most dynamic cover in years.
What was that PSN game which ripped off the cover of this? Can't remember.
>>338607838
If you like those you should check out Roger Dean's website, he had a lot of other awesome art.

>>338596814
>You know you fucked up with the main character when someone grabs his crotch to see what gender he is.
That's in MGS3 man.
>>338609624
There's a crotch grabbing scene in both MGS2 and MGS3 if that's what you mean
>>338609624
Volgin grabbed Snake's crotch because he was wearing the mask and thought he was his fucktoy, in 2 the president grabs Raiden's crotch and is surprised he's a man.
Hotline Miami chink version
>>338609790
>>338609834
>in 2 the president grabs Raiden's crotch and is surprised he's a man
Holy crap, i legit don't remember that
>>338610070
Also, PAL MGS3 cover is objectively better than americuck one
>>338610170
>with net features
Especific as fuck
>>338591637
I love this one
>>338593137
fags like you are the worst
jap version is to the right
it's much better.
>>338612410
*left
>>338612410
you mean left? Right is the US version
Also, what a beautiful game that was.
>>338612410
That game made me hate knife ears
>>338607720
the game is great but that cover is just a hodge-podge mess
>>338610170
The collection for PS3 had Shinkawa art for each box, all were good
>>338615939
Which one? I have the legacy collection and it doesn't even have a box.
Maybe you're thinking about the Essential Collection for PS2
>>338614838
absolute garbage
There's something about this cover that always intrigues me.
>>338618508
Someone already posted that you stupid fuckinreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>338618630
fug my bad
:^(
>>338606063
You really need a bigger resolution to properly appreciate it.
>>338591884
The series has gone through phases of saying they're aliens from time to time.
>>338618701
I'm sorry that I have to yell at you :c
>>338618701
>>338619319
Go kiss already ;3c
>>338590828

I would if I could, considering that I'm a 9/10 gaemr gril and all
>>338620036
>imma grill btw
Whatever, I'll go for itCHILE?HILE?
>>338586478
So we're all in an agreement that DOOM has the best cover of all time?
>>338620158
Why posting so early?
>>338620447

>>338589031
>>338586478
these are awesome.
daily reminder that digital artwork will never live up to the hand drawn/painted cover and is inherently shit 100% without a doubt.
also, all the modern crap with characters front or back side like this
>>338589654
should be thrown onto the bonfire
>>338620492
I'm at my job right now and it's fucking 12:37 pm
>>338620158Swede. Sorry, my mountaineering friend.
>>338620589
I usually post after I'm done with job. I wouldn't want to get caught lurking 4chan
This one was awesome
I know this is kind of ripping on Disgaea style, but I really like covers that have all the characters standing together.
ITT: Games people just have nostalgia for, irrespective of whether the cover art is any good or not.
>>338621194
Uh it's a bunch of generic space marines attempting to look hard 'n shit. Truly the apotheosis of art.
>>338620907
Oh I'm a programmer so everyone here is as weird or weirder than me.
>>338610004
Are you 9?
>>338618508
The guy in the cover is not the main character, but one of Shodan's cyborgs.
Oh, and I like this Gothic II cover.
Me: Cool, do I get to slay dragons while wearing a full plate armour?
Yoda: Oh, you will be....You...will be!
>>338621194
the only good halo boxart is odst
Does anyone have this without the annoying watermark?
Serious Sam First Encounter HD by the way.
>>338622142
wtf?
>>338621487
The best Disgaea cover.
>>338591502
it says sexy bitch/beach 3
Make way for the GOAT cover
>>338590868
Such good art
>>338623282
Eat ma period
>>338586478
So, how long it took you to realize that Doomguy has only one gun in the cover?
>>338623698
oh fuck
>>338623698
They're in his inventory.
Goat
Jesus Christ, why is the fookin DUKE NOT IN THIS THREAD?
TASTELESS FAGGOTS. ALL OF YOU
dead space's cover isn't all too flashy but i think it's a perfect sort of mood setter for what the game is actually like
>>338590779
underrated, game was pretty okay to boot
11/10
>>338623282
Ha, it's funny because when you read "GOAT cover" you expect a really good cover but instead he posted a cover wich literally says GOTY and 10/10 all over it.
You know what else would be funny? What if you posted the same comment but with a cover with an actual goat in it. Wouldn't that be hilarious?
>>338624383
Haha nice post bro where can I upvote?

>>338589108
Everyone is complaining just because it's not the original DOOM. People who hate the new one hated it before it came out.
New game is great.
New cover is shit (the one that's just the Doomguy)
New alt cover is amazing (The finished version of this one)
>>338624207
Of course is good, it's based off another cover. Just like Doom's.

>>338635298
