Jade Empire screens + boxart

I liked the look better before all of the glow effects.

it isn't china or japan; it's a pan-asian fantasy clusterfuck that reminds me faintly -- faintly -- of mortal kombat. still. should be a great game.
 
I haven't laughed that hard at box art since Capcom made NES games. It's just so obliviously stupid.

I love the three guys at the bottom, all eagerly staring at her crotch.....ready to devour it. The Mexi-Asian guy has a look of angry constipation that rivals Max Payne 1.

Even the concept art they have on their site would've made better boxart.

That would make an awesome boxart. Reminds me of the work of Boris Vallejo. Could be the same artist for the real boxart, but the lighting is so much more dynamic on this.
 
The Boxart looks fine it’s not the best but it’s all the JRPG fanboys can criticize about this game.

I also believe M$ if funding this game so I doubt there will be a pc version


”OMG they need to fill it with 17 year Japanese pop stars so I masturbate all over this shit ”and the protagonist needs to be seventeen”
 
The box art is fucking horrible. How the fucking HELL they let that BG2 artist back out of his cage to create mangled fuck portraits of people ill never know.

You know what game had awesome art, Icewind Dale Fucking II, where the hell is that artist, why didnt they employ him for this shit. No, we get BG2 fuckwad.

The portraits in BG2 were great, the IWD portraits were so “try hard” artistic.

Do the Mario is completely without taste. What a dumb motherfuck.
I will assure you that that my pants fell down as my friends mum was doing up my shoe laces, and that I am not a “mother fucker”.
 
Looks, um, generic... you couldn't even tell it was an RPG with that box art. And that lead character definitely looks more Hispanic than Asian, for some reason... Western developers making games about Eastern culture has never really been handled well, traditionally.

yeah, i also noted a resemblance to the shenmue 2 boxart. VERY TAN PEOPLE GRIMACING! GRRR! :lol

I like how you capped the VERY TAN PEOPLE. They're called asians. This game looks like it could rock and very hard. Hopefully it'll be a rich man's fable
 
so, anyone else remember when games were judged by how fun they were to play, not what their boxart looks like?

me neither.
 
Bioware already beat Zelda once this gen.

It could all go wrong with the real time combat, but if it doesnt, i cant see any of the games you mentioned comparing to Jade Empire.

Don't kid yourself. Not in the year of DQ8, FF12, PS Trilogy, new Zelda, and Ys 6.

Im not. Its one of the top games of 2005, not my opnion, industry opinion

New BioWare game = contender for GOTY
 
Ahhh, Xbots... "Japanese games are so lame compared to Western games!", then they praise Itagaki's games to kingdom come. If any Japanese RPGs came out on Xbox they'd be considered the second coming so fast. But it doesn't look like that's happening any time soon.

This boxart looks like a generic fantasy setting novel
Exactly. Go into the Sci-FI/Fantasy section of any Barnes and Nobles, and you'll see dozens upon dozens of books with very, very, very similar covers.

That doesn't change anything to his statement.

Yeah, it does. He makes it sound like this has just changed. He also said it keeps looking worse, which is a bunch of shit.
