HORRIBLE BOXART

Why is boxart like this allowed? Why don't devs care about unique and memorable boxart anymore? The boxart is one thing you will always associate with a game. When you think of a game, one of the things you remember instantly is the boxart.

fuck off OP, the EU ver of The New Order looks similar, and that game was awesome. I don't give 2 shits about box-art anyway

No I don't, what I remember is the game itself.
I could give less of a fuck about the boxart when I only play games on Steam.

I really dislike that outfit compared to the one in New Order. I also really dislike chokers on anyone, I wish the suit could've been stored in anything other than the neckpiece.
>>
>>379998771
TNO was more of a reboot. I played the 2009 one, and didn't really see any similarities between them. Different studios worked on them IIRC

no it's not 1990 I don't buy boxed games anymore, even when I did why would I remember the fucking boxart you consumerist brainlet
>>
>>379998986
there was no rebooting of the franchise really. even in TNO, the plot is still that BJ killed hitler, and contains characters from RTCW and 2009
>>
>>379999232
That's not the second version of 999's art.
>>
>>379998986
Story wise TNO is totally a sequel. The reason Hitler doesn't show up is because he was already killed by BJ and Deathshead came from Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Cinematography matters in any movie, you absolute sperg. As does all aspects that make a good movie. Stay retarded

>>379998361
I hope this is irony.

>>379998370
Yeah, that looks like shit too. No one is making the argument that quality of boxart is representative of the game.

>>379998479
>>379999271
Why are you acting like it's hard to even make a decent, original boxart? It's become mind-numbingly repetitive, with all the white dudes standing with guns facing the camera as destruction is happening in the background. The ugly-ass boxart will be associated with the game forever. And you're on an imageboard. Chances are you'll see this absolutely repugnant cover all the time. You'll get sick of it as fast as anyone, trust me. People still buy physical games too, all the time, and the least devs could do is make aesthetic covers like >>379999232 and >>380000179

Hell, even TEW 2's cover is pretty good. It's unique, evocative, striking with it's unconvential use of color. Stop advocating laziness and unoriginality when it's not even hard to make a good cover.
>>
>>379998771
It's very loose with its continuity

2009 was full blown supernatural shit but they removed literally all of it in TNO

With so much digitized and sold online off Steam and other services, who cares about box art? I realize some still buy a physical copy for whatever reason but you're in the minority.

Box art isn't as important as it once was.

>>380002959
I don't recall the general public making turd steaks into a million dollar industry. Not everyone has to have the same taste in entertainment as you. Also, being unable to see things from other people's perspective is a legitimate sign of literal autism. So you might want to go see someone about that.

Ultima VI's is my favorite one, because of how subversive it is. The intent was that most players will see it as a hero stomping a defeated evil demon, but when they play the game they find out that the artwork was drawn from the viewpoint of the gargoyle race, showing humanity's "paragon of virtue" evilly crushing them under his heel, and making the player confront his own prejudices. Yay postmodernism.

It was really neat how Ultima V and VI both acted as criticisms of IV.

Doom's box art was awful as well, but it had a reversible cover that looked really nice. Hopefully Wolfenstien is the same: focus tested corporate approved default cover with all the logos and shit on the outside, with a cool arty cover with no logos/rating as an optional replacement.

Best of both worlds

Oh god what the fuck he does have a choker.

Why does this BJ somehow look younger than the one on the cover of New Order? Is it the overbright hair? Did they soften his face too much? Something seems off.

Maybe it's the outfit and 'cause he just looks like he's about to kill himself instead of the smug, triumphant pose on TNO.

My issue is the yellow jacket standing out somuch.
Similar shit with TNO, but his darker clothing worked better as a cover image because of the theming.
