Media DOOM (Doom 4)

[FSLAR]

Are there people left on the planet that don't know what DOOM is? And the original games box art is crazy famous. This garbage standard boxart is not really needed. Especially with a large amount of sales going to the PC and digital console sales. I would like to see the percentage of sales increase that justifies having boxart almost identical to whatever it's sitting next to at Gamestop.

There are people who didn't know who Paul McCartney was before Kanye West teamed up with him, people who don't know why most of the features in the newer Pokemon games are not in Red/Blue, people who don't know what Metroid is (or that Samus is a girl) and so on. There are totally people who have no idea what DOOM is, that's the state of our world.

But that default box art is still really not needed, totally. I doubt the generic one would entice people over either alternate box art option. The generic one actually tells you far less about the game than either alternate.

That ****** modern doomguy design is starting to grow on me.

Help me.

Screw what I said, no longer embrace the snow! Embrace the modern doomdude design

nah you don't need help. For this

Phew, thank you, it almost got me.

Truth be told, if Funko releases a modern doomguy when the game drops, I'm gonna get it, I just hope they release a classic doomguy too.

Let's go one step further

Doesn't tell you a thing about the game the fact that the obvious cash-in has a better box-art then the huge budget game is awful.

Ken Levine Explains BioShock Infinite?s Bland Box Art | WIRED

Really explains down the (rather sad) modern state of tier-1 game box art nowadays.

 

[Dylan]

I understand why they think they need to do this but it's ****ING DOOM. The none frat person box art would have been what? A demon? A dude killing demons? A dude with a chainsaw killing demons? Frat boys wouldn't buy that just looking at it?

I feel this box art came out of a lack of decision making. No one knows what this DOOM is or even what they want it to be. The designers are really ****ing this up.

 

[GasparZizou]

That's videogame designers for you, they get so much more technology to play with by the minute, that their good taste and creativity can't catch up.

 

[FSLAR]

Bioshock Infinite's box art is more uninspired than bland. The problem with some of the box art today is that it doesn't tell you a thing about the game itself, and it doesn't really grab your attention. Look at MGS 3's box art, it shows Snake in a jungle sneaking around some guards, tells you a good bit. MGS V's just shows that faker brooding, and that's all MGS 3's box art would pull you in cause it looks interesting, you'd want to find out more and read the cover (for newcomers). MGS V's doesn't pull you in.

Reverse cover B won the vote (no surprise).

The "Wolfenstein: The New Order" Doom MP beta will run between March 31 and April 3.

[Vader AL]

downloading it now. looks like it's running about 15 MB/s download for me so shouldn't be too long on a 10 GB file.

Thank goodness for this thread, I forgot it started today.
