So because it's a PS3 game and I didn't wet my pants over it's boxart I'm a fanboy?

You can't disagree with this guy or he gets all offended. Seriously dude, the boxart isn't that great and not everyone is gonna like it.

It's bad ass, but for people who don't know the franchise, they'll just see an old man on a video game box.JAB991

lol, that is true.

Sure you have :roll:

Even if he did, why bring it up now? He's not being a fanboy. In fact, you guys are being really big MGS fanboys right now.

Wow, that's a complete lie.

I've NEVER bashed the PS3's online. The only online I bash is the 360's because paying for it is bull****.

Also, if this game was on the Wii or 360 I would still insult it. It's not good boxart, get over it.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. :|

Saying "I don't like it" is an opinion. Your rude comment was not an opinion.

Jeeze, the way you took offense from that comment makes it sound like you're Kojima himself. *Suspicious look*

Why do you care?

Perhaps it was immature but you have no proof that it was biased.

No they are making MGS fans look bad because of the way they are acting.

Awesome boxart. And who cares if other people don't like it? Some of the people bashing aren't even going to buy it.

That said. Opinions are great, just don't force yours on other people.

Yuck... that's all I'll say....

I like it. I don't love it but its fine honestly. I mean Shinikawa artwork would've looked so much cooler (Euro-cover ftw) but I think this one is pretty stylish. I prefer how they have the title in this one over the other covers (When I look straight at a game I can't read sideways).

Personally I thought they could've done a better job, especially with Shinikawa artwork. Also, I don't think this cover captures how truly epic and important this game is.

Its okay I guess. I would have liked it better if they had stuck with the artstyles of the previous games.

Snake Eater had a great boxcover.

Bad box art.

Where's the artwork?

A close up on ugly old Snake... not cool. The old (japanese?) one was better. Doesn't matter anyway.

Euro box art

Sorry but its ugly. Thank goo ugly books still have good content in them :P

Very very impressive. It is a prime example of a very important element of cover art - IMPACT! It feels like the emotion in his face has substance that will punch it's way right out of the box. Nice Kojima, nicely done.AdobeArtist

Validation from GS's resident master artist himself is all this box art needs 8)

j/k

Honestly though, this box art seems to be getting a lot of mixed reactions, but whatever your opinion, one thing's for sure--it gets your attention.

And anything that gets your attention is good marketing.

I don't care what anyone says...that's powerful boxart. :)TreyoftheDead

That's what I'm trying to say. It expresses how stressed and tired Snake is.

I like the gray one that has snake looking likes hes in pain with the black stuff on the bottom, mabye that will be the other case (MGO).

Doesn't this game come with two cases, one for the regular game and one for MGO??

I like the case, but why change form the hand drawn artwork thats been in all the others in the last game of the serise???

[QUOTE="sexy_chimp"]Lame. Might as well just put a giant wrinkle on the cover.AgentA-Mi6

Why does the american box art always have to be a 3D model compared to some brilliant piece of art work? *looks at the Ico boxarts* Ugh.Shazenab

Word! I have european ICO, the boxart on it is amazing !

As much as I hate it, I love it at the same time. If you look past his face, and look in his eyes, he has that look.

Just remarkable.

Its MGS4, any little news from it on a gaming site will get peoples attention....on topic...I hate it, its just not MGish to me.

Oh man, Snake is looking super hardcore. The expression is very intense - I like this one a lot more then the Japanese one.NAPK1NS

No he doesnt, and no it isnt...look at his eyes he looks like someone thats been through hell and back. I get a depressed vibe from that boxart.

ugly

but badass game fa sho

It looks good, but I much prefer Shinkawa's art over anything else.lantus

Agreed
