Resident Evil 5 Boxart, Five RE5 Screens, 1UP Previews RE5

[A-J]

typical US cover with the hero plastered on the screen, personally im a fan of more simplistic boxarts.

[ElusionM]

No. Cover with characters gives some insight on how a game might be if no one has ever seen it before.

The US boxart>EU.

[Gradon]

Okay, stupid Capcom, you've ruined my boxart, im importing this from USA.

[Jill's Boob]

Where is Chris's machete? It is missing...the sheath is there, just no machete. Did he let Jason borrow it?

A minimalist cover can be seen at a first glance in a shelf full of games with colorful covers. They're not looking for beautiful covers, they are creating covers using bussiness strategies, simple as this...

Oh, and I prefer PAL version. That image of the heroes of the game is so typical that says nothing but another action game.
I prefer a simple cover that says: there's no need of showing you something in the cover, just play and you'll get your pants wet of terror

[Helegad]

Where's the PC boxart?

[Darkmoon]

I actually like the PAL better. I like the creepy writting all over Africa and you can barely see it on the American version.

[RetroRain]

Horrible box covers. And the ones with Chris and Sheva just scream "action."

[Nomad9026]

My voice is for pal version.

Agreed, but it still doesn't beat this

Agreed. They (the boxarts) are not very imaginative.

While they present a very "cooperative" feel (i.e. 2 distinct heroes), it kind of just shows two armed combatants ready for, as you said, "action." Nothing really to distinguish this title from the many other action titles.

A lone chainsaw maniac would be better to adorn this cover.

But it still doesn't beat this

Amen.

[Jill Lover]

Well that RE4 PAL boxart has nothing to do with the real atmosphere of RE4... it's like pretending it's about a horror video-game. RE5 now is like "see, this is an action game"

[Dredgon]

Too...much...awesome...info...for...brain...to...h andle
First this, than the spoilers at RE Horror which I want to look at but can't like Ben Stiller with the pizza in Dodgeball! March! I command you come NOW!

[Bertha]

Agreed, but it still doesn't beat this

Truth.

I wonder if the special editions will get different covers. I really am not fond of the American cover. I've seen fan made covers that look better.

[Jill's Boob]

Meh...these are just temporary box covers until the eventual "Special Edition" release of RE5.
