*edit: nm. EB changed MGS3's cover (thank god)*

 

[NotMSRP]

Boo. I prefer the artwork cover design for MGS3 instead.

 

[AniHawk]

Yes, please.

 

[Fifty]

I'm not big on the KOTOR boxart. Too much like the previous one.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

GT4 cover: yay.

Edit: MGS3 cover: OH HELLZ FUCKING YAY!

 

[Spike]

I'm guessing that the MGS boxart is the real deal. In some of the advertisements in various gaming mags, they show this same boxart with a 'M' ESRB rating.

Alien Hominid, KotoR 2, and GT4 boxes are nice.

 

[Quadrophenic]

That drawn (Shinkawa or whoever?) cover of Snake from TGS better be the final MGS3 boxart for the US. Damn that was nice.

[MetatronM]

Hey, a mostly decent batch of boxarts for a change.

 

[Wario64]

That MGS3 box art has been up there for months. And it BETTER NOT be the final box art. Hell, I even wrote an email to Konami about how MGS3's box art should use Shinkawa's artwork and avoid using in-game models like The Twin Snakes.

KOTOR 2 and GT4 looks nice

EBgame's ad in the latest EGM/Gamepro or whatever still uses the old Pikmin 2 boxart, for all its worth

 

[Matlock]

MGS3's cover got Silicon Knighted!

 

[johnjohnson]

This one looks great! Can't wait to get my copy in about 2 months!

 

[NotMSRP]

Meh. KOTOR1's cover is far better.

 

[Meier]

This one looks great! Can't wait to get my copy in about 2 months!

What the heck? When did this game get pushed into 2004? I can't spend any more money this year, dammit! Love that boxart but I'm not counting out a delay though.

 

[Wario64]

I still need to play the first one...which is gonna be impossible for me unless I get the game now and play it before I get bombarded with new games in the next few months

 

[AniHawk]

It was bumped up in August or July.

 

[u_neek]

whats this?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Oh yeah.

 

[Fifty]

Shaman King. A game about a Shaman King.

 

[Joe]

i dont like the kotor2, midnight club3, gt4, or mgs3 covers.

:shrugs:

 

[SolidSnakex]

The MGS3 cover is *terrible*. Go with Shinkawa or just put the logo over a camo background. No game models.

The GT4 cover is awesome just like every other GT cover.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

 

[Dujour]

Why the hell are they going with the polygon model for a cover again? The one for Twin Snakes is so bad, it makes me abhor the game even more. The shinkawa one that looks like the MGS2 one, but green and jungle-esque, was way better.

 

[Ghost]

Has KOTOR2 definitely been bumped up? I fear it could just be another one of those "we say winter you dont know what winter means" situations




Edit: I should have checked the official website before i posted really, check out the PC gamer screwage..

Availability: Xbox: 12/04 PC: 2/05


So much for simultaneous release.

 

[MetatronM]

To be fair, the MGS3 boxart is, objectively, just fine. At least it's a good game model screenshot, and not that muddy crap they put on Twin Snakes. That said, the artwork was much better and should be the cover over this. It just fits in better with the series.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Get that crap off the MGS3 cover, I've been seeing that for months and just can't handle it anymore. Who does that box even appeal to? It doesn't do anything for the average American who want some action scene on the box. And it doesn't look great to most of the fans who want character art. Use some Shinkawa art and be done with it. Konami of America better have something way better ready, then again almost anything would be better than that.

I really like the Gran Turismo 4 box. I actually prefer it to the GT3 designs. I only wish there was an online logo on that box...but it can't be helped.

As for that Shaman King, pretty sure it is just a fighting game with characters from the show. I could care less about it though.

 

[Rhindle]

I keep thinking that Snake/whoever is doing some exposure metering on a film set when I see that cover.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Konami doesn't care what fans think of their box arts. There was a huge uproar over MGS:TTS's box art when it was revealed months before its release, but nothing happened.

[troll]But not that many people were going to see The Twin Snakes box art anyway[/troll]

Hehe, but this Metal Gear Solid 3 box is worse than The Twin Snakes, at least to me. It isn't even trying... Konami needs to start caring.

 

[cubicle47b]

That Gran Turismo cover is hot.

 

[funcojoe]

KOTOR 2 - 10/10 (Badass)
MGS3 - 4/10 (What the hell are they thinking.)
GT4 - 8/10 (Kinda stylish.)

 

[Vashu]

Damn, I really have to import Gundam Battle Assualt 3.. We only got a release of the first two PSOne games back in 2003 (when Gundam Wing suddenly became hot after finally being aired over here). The other games are nice, especially the KOTOR II one. GT4 has style written all over it, while Shaman King does it's manga/anime thing. MGS3 is whack though, gimme a more stylished, Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2 cover.

Hopefully this one ain't the final cover.

 

[Fowler]

Damn, I want KOTOR II sooo bad. Who's faster for online shopping, Amazon or EBGames? I'm going to ship it to my friend and he'll ship it across to me (cheaper that way) but I want it ASAP!

 

[bjork]

MGS3 box shoulda had Snake in the Mario-ish skin.

 

[Kiriku]

Yes, please.

Mess, sheesh.

Cluttered logo, it is.

 

[Ghost]

Think they are trying to capture the feel of the first one. The composition is exactly the same except the ebon hawk is on the other side.

It's a small image so i cant really tell but the artwork looks fantastic, the logo does look cluttered and the placement of the subtitle is strange.

It is missing some details though so i dont think its final.

 

[Solid]

Boo! I want Shinkawa art on my MGS-games dammit! I hope the PAL cover is better.

And that GT4 cover is pure sex. KOTOR2 is sweet as hell too, looks cool.

 

[Forsete]

And that GT4 cover is pure sex.

IAWTP.. Very nice.

 

[LukeSmith]

Sith Lords art looks great.
GT4 cover looks good.
And Metal Gear 3's is pathetic.

 

[sonycowboy]

And that GT4 cover is pure sex.

BAOTY!

 

[Lakitu]

Wow that new (and final) MGS 3 boxart is hot!!

 

[jooey]

Wow that new (and final) MGS 3 boxart is hot!!

there will everybody shut up now?! (no)

 

[Fifty]

Very nice cover.

 

[explodet]

Some of you complaining about the MGS3 cover may need to change your replies.

:lol

 

[Wario64]

Holy shit. I'll take 5 copies please

 

[Defensor]

What's the online function in MGS3? Upload/download new cameos?

 

[jett]

MGS3 has an online mode...? Cover looks HAWT, but they should replace the rendered Snake with a hand-drawn one.

 

[Wario64]

The online mode is for downloading new camo skins and stuff I think? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere

I'm sure they'll eliminate the need for clear codes too and allow you to send rankings data to Konami's site

 

[Spike]

Holy CRAP!!

I didn't like that shit in MGS2...by the time I finished the game you could no longer input your code on Konami's site. I never found out what "animal" I got.
