EA Should be ashamed of themselves for even passing that as the final cover image. If I saw that sh*t I'd want to put it down quicksmart and never pick it back up. What were they thinking letting the Intern design the cover art? I know the old saying, don't judge a book by it's cover but this is one case where I'd be judging said game by it's cover, it'll make me think this is some sort of joke or fake game taking the mickey at EA because EA being AAA developers / publishers would have standards right? I always thought those off brand no name PC simulator games took the cake when it comes to cover art but at least they have a reasonable design, DownintheHoles which is apparently a standard edition cover (from my research) I can't even give a 1/10 to. It's just ugly. If this doesn't scare off people I don't know what will. I was also going to comment FIFA should be ripping EA to shreds over this kind of design as it will definitely put people off and possibly do damage but we live in a world where money talks so I don't see FIFA giving two hoots about this, maybe they will and it'll get blown under the rug as that saying goes. icecoldkilla1467, Ivan1997GTA and Lock n' Stock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collibosher Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Except the GTA covers, I think most game covers generally suck big time, it's unbelievable. They're always extremely tasteless and generic. Always that same pattern with some guy standing in front of some generic flashy hyper detailed, but messy background. Compare those to this piece of pop-art: It doesn't need to try anything, it just works. If GTA:SA was made by any other company, the cover art would consist of CJ with a generic tough guy pose standing in the middle, holding an AK-47. Background would have cheesy explosions and all kinds of stupid flares pointing everywhere and it would all be so keeeeewl el carlitos, Lock n' Stock, TheSantader25 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinZer0s Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Nice tracing nigga Seems like Rock Man had trouble getting good box art around the early 00s Quite a downgrade from the original.

B7R Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Phoenix games itself is a treasure trove of terrible cover arts as already pointed out by other members Just searching their name on Google caused this to show up, no idea if it is even remotely real but Phoenix Games being Phoenix games it wouldn't surprise me.

Rhoda Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I feel like this thread needs more PlayStation box art. The first console had some of the most cursed art imaginable. The cover is supposed to make you want to play the game, not beat it half to death and leave it bleeding in the moonlight.

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Honestly I feel the majority of modern box art sucks and looks completely lazy. Sometimes when I look through my physical PS4 games I’m surprised by how similar most of them look to each other from different franchises. Shooters are the worst offenders IMO because 9 times out of 10 there’s usually the character holding a gun or something. Also whatever happened to region specific box art? I always got a kick how certain games looked over here in Aus compared to the U.S, Japan, Europe etc. That seems to be almost lost now. Anyway I guess it’s not to say that old games have necessarily nicer box art. In fact some of them look hilariously bad, but artistic touch seems to have been lost with time as games have been moving onto digital platforms. I remember buying games and picking them up and the first thing that would grab me was their box art even the really bad ones and it was like they were trying to tell a story through their first impressions. Nowadays very few games do that as the box art usually generic, uninspired and looks like it's been slapped together in photoshop in a matter of a few minutes.
