WHO THE HELL DESIGNED THE US LUMINES BOXART???????

THIS IS FUGLY LIKE SIN!!!11!1!!1!1!!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT GREAT JAPANESE BOXART????? ... They just have to destroy all the beautiful things around us... WTF??!!1111!!!!

 

[Mrbob]

USA ART SALES + 1

 

[demi]

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH RAVE RAVE RAVE BOOM BOOM BOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM BOOM

 

[Wario64]

OMG WHAT THE FUCK I AINT BUYING THIS SHIT NOW FUCK YOU UBISOFT

 

[Pedigree Chum]

If its any consolation, the JP version box looks much nice in your hands

 

[Grubdog]

 

[Matlock]

BOXARTS ARE EVERYTHING
JAPAN ALWAYS WINS

BAIL OUT

 

[Dilbert]

Aside from the large area of yellow -- which is a little garish -- I don't see what's so great about the Japanese boxart, or so bad about the US one. Neither one represents the game very well, as far as I can tell.

WTF WHY DOES SHE HAVE A BEEHIVE HAIRDO!?

Everybody knows that penis-shaped space probes always move more product than dancing babes.

I thought it was a guy with an afro until you pointed that out!

 

[BuddyC]

Oh, I hope this thread degenerates to the "influence of box art on sales" argument.

 

[Lhadatt]

OMFG THEY CHANGED THE BOX ARRRAAGHGHAGH PH34R MAH ANGST WTF

Please, get over it. You know you'll buy it regardless.

 

[Operations]

Holy fucking shit, that MUST be a placeholder. What twisted mind could possibly create such atrocity.

 

[Kintaro]

Wow, that shit is TERRIBLE. ;_;

 

[aoi tsuki]

Wake me when they change the music to American Top 10.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Lumines' JP boxart is so awesome, man, one of the best ever for sure.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK ARRRRHAGAGHADHGHA PH34R MAH ANGST WTF

 

[Rhindle]

They're both rather lousy.

Actually, by Ubisoft standards that's a damn good cover. Probably the best one they've ever done. :lol

 

[Jonnyram]

My monitor is now covered in coffee :lol

 

[DCharlie]

Mr Ubisoft...
"This game is stylish , cool, and has great artistic design.... let's let the punters out there know this by creating a really shitty cover! I'm ... AWESOME.... "

*goes and puts on white and black striped shirt, eats onions...*

 

[Lhadatt]

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK ARRRRHAGAGHADHGHA PH34R MAH ANGST WTF

:lol

I will agree, though - it's pretty crappy. But so is the Japanese cover.

However, neither are as bad as that.

 

[tetsuoxb]

HAHAHAHA at the eJay Clubworld cover.

Whoever made it has never been in a dance club in their entire life. Unless of course, hip hop DJs dress like affluent house music fans....

Why the tirade? LOOK AT THE TURNTABLES. THEY ARE IN BATTLE POSITION.

NO MIX DJ USES BATTLE POSITION!

 

[Matlock]

Black Power?

Dear Ubisoft:

We know you read this

We know you care

We don't know if you know how awful your localization efforts usually are, nor how terrible this box art looks

We hope you know now

Please fix it! It's not too late.

K thx

[Wario64]

I prefer this box

:lol

 

[Red Scarlet]

Neither of them look that great.

 

[vireland]

Everybody knows that penis-shaped space probes always move more product than dancing babes.

Not just ANY penis-shaped space probes will move product. They have to be the ones with the pulsing disco spotlight beams shooting out of the end.

Also, what happened to the featured music credit? I would think that at least Mondo Grosso would be a decent selling point to shoot upfront.

 

[fse]

Game won't sell good in the west anyways.

 

[The Faceless Master]

i don't get it, is the US boxart supposed to look bad or something?

looks ok to me...

 

[Smiles and Cries]

jesus

 

[DCharlie]

doods, you need to see the Japanese Ghost Recon PS2 box...

it looks like some kid drew it with felt tips, it's terrible

 

[Rocket9]

Could be worst..

Well actually im hesitating between best or worst boxart of all time for this one

 

[Lhadatt]

Wha? I ain't knowin who dat is! Where's mah pie?!

[ZeMMiK]

As long the game is not changed with negative effects then NP.

Really, these don't need to be posted in every thread involving bad box art. We got the point years ago. Find some new good (awful) examples.

I was thinking the same thing.

[Soul4ger]

We need IGN editors' response with Pac-Man Vs. announcement (for American boxart) and Zelda announcement (for import boxart).

 

[MomoPufflet]

Boxart being changed for the US market-- OH FUCK THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

 

[john tv]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[ourumov]

I think it's pretty good...Come on guys...it isn't that horrible.

 

[Defensor]

:lol

 

[duderon]

Quick! Someone do the IGN writers E3 photoshop!

 

[lunlunqq]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[john tv]

BTW, I always see those "img172.exs.cs" style URLs for images on GAF... where are they being hosted?
