vs.

US

 

[MC Safety]

It's like putting a sequined dress on a cow!

 

[u_neek]

That's a trillion times better than the US/EU boxart!

 

[boutrosinit]

Or dressing Jo Brand in hot sexy woman clothes.

(google 'Jo brand, Comedien')

Is it possible that the MODs could consider banning anything to do with Sudeki?

 

[sykoex]

Why do they wait so long to come out with the japanese version?

 

[boutrosinit]

Because Sudeki is the smeg on the cock of gaming.

Okay, that's not a logical reason.

 

[Kseutron]

That's a trillion times better than the US/EU boxart!

yes !

 

[Blackace]

too bad that doesn't change the in game art..

 

[FortNinety]

Just proves that the Japanese are always the best choice to do Anime-type art.

 

[callous]

Haha, so pathetic to see the Western box next to the Japanese one.

I can't believe they're inflicting this game on the Japanese. They really have given up over there, haven't they.

 

[Ronin]

Wow. They both look terrible.

 

[NotMSRP]

JP cover is still ways better than the US cover.

 

[Sho Nuff]

MICROSOFT, WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER!?

 

[Stinkles]

Them Koreans is getting right good at anime characters.

I never ever met anyone who thought Sudeki character art looked good, except some Euros. I think they were Belgian. They had really crazy Spectacles and suit jackets that looked like they were from a sci-fi movie, so they must have been Belgian.

 

[Uncle Dukey]

Releasing this is going to make the last remaining Japanese xbox owner give up hope.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Microsoft Japan has a sick sense of humor.

Provide a decent box art with decent character art and then reward them with atrocious in-game models. Ha ha I like it.

 

[VerTiGo]

Don't know why I'm going to say this, but it's my honest opinion... I like Sudeki better than Fable. In fact, I hate Fable, while Sudeki kinda surprised me.

Molyneux sucks.

 

[Azure Dream]

Wow, that's quite excellent. If Sudeki ever hits Platinum Hits (if it hasn't already), that's the box art they should switch to.

With such a long delay, might they have reworked to the Japanese version slightly? I know a few games have gotten physical changes to the polygonal models and such to try to target international audiences better.

 

[Blackace]

MICROSOFT, WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER!?

Well of the 16 Xboxes sold they might sell 4!

 

[monchi-kun]

hehehehe, here's showing the wannabe-anime inspired designs of Climax

 

[Legal Step]

So this will sell about 10,000 copies in Japan right?

 

[u_neek]

So this will sell about 10,000 copies in Japan right?

yeah, and porn sucks...

Looks the same to me!

 

[iapetus]

I never ever met anyone who thought Sudeki character art looked good, except some Euros.

I believe they have insane people in the US, too.

 

[NotMSRP]

Which games would they be?

 

[Blimblim]

Didn't prince of persia get some more anime looking characters for the japanese release ?

 

[Agent Dormer]

Too bad a better cover doesn't make it a better game.

 

[FortNinety]

Which games would they be?

Crash Bandicoot has his facial features changed, like make the eyes bigger or something, to appeal to Japanese tastes. And they worked apparently.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Which games would they be?

Iggy's Reckin' Balls (N64) is another one they changed.

Well at least I heard the developers were changing it, don't know if they followed through.

 

[radios shipping overview]

And for fun, a new cover:

 

[blackadde]

I don't get North America's infatuation with CG (in specific, 3D modelled) art. I think of all the western games I have only two or three have hand-painted covers.

 

[Rorschach]

Love that cover

 

[Amakusa]

Got my vote +1

The character designs on paper look fine. The artist is from the UK and seems to have no problems getting work. It's just that Climax apparently sucked at translating the art to 3D models

 

[maskrider]

Japan Ads looks even better than the box art, but the game is the same, ha ha!

 

[sprsk]

-_-

 

[Aurora]

I think the JP boxart is pretty decent.
The EU/NA one is just no.

 

[Azure Dream]

It's like... the artist's doing work for a completely different game... one which I'd actually like to get. But no, it's a trick! Curses.

 

[Azih]

What is the point of this?

 

[BioFan]

What is the point of this?

should have gotten a Japanese artist to do the artwork??
