Days Gone Box Art Revealed

[DriftingSpirit]

Not bad.

I think this post nails what they were going for.

One thing i do like about the Days Gone box art is that it does a pretty good job of explaining what the game is about, hordes of zombies, motor cycle, gun, large open area. It's communicating to the player what to expect, which is what all box art should try to do.

Way too many western box art just settles for serious looking guy holding a gun, looking at nothing in particular.

Edit -

This is the key art it is based off of.

Its the keyart basically.

 

[Ichi]

ooohh that looks good.

way better than standing with back turned to you etc etc

 

[v_iHuGi]

Looks Rad!

Let's go Bend!

 

[FusedAtoms]

Yes! That's the picture everyone was saying they wanted when they revealed it as the key art I believe

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Looks great!

should be facing down a bit more and have a shotgun, or at least an AK-47

He ran across the horde to early dem the breaks

 

[MegaSackman]

Deacon... you might wanna check your back.

Also, the box art is cool, it should sell copies on its own.

 

[Stiler]

Personally not a fan of it. I'd love to have had more of a scenic box art, like him sitting on the bike on a cliff edge overlooking a valley full of zombies (showing the scale of how many can be seen) and how expansive the environment can be.

 

[nib95]

Looks great. I like how large and imposing the type face or logo looks too.

 

[Pal]

Does its job to portray the game well enough, but doesn't exactly strikes me as beautiful.

 

[Bishop89]

Looks good.

So bored of the standard box arts.

 

[texhnolyze]

I'm still not sure whether I'm picking this up or not, April is still so far away. Perhaps reviews will sway me over.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I was sure they would do generic back turn with gun in hand they proved me wrong good job

 

[AppleKid]

Every time I see this protag I just think of Luke Danes. Can someone please put his head on the box art?

Just added the key art to the OP.

 

[TheCrackedJack]

Looks pretty decent. Too bad we still have to wait until practically May for it to release.

 

[404LinkNotFound]

Looks preety cool. Although the boxart does remind me of this trope XD :

record scratch
freeze frame
"Yep ,thats me right there.You're probably wondering how i got in this mess"
*X Hours ealier*

 

[tiebreaker]

Pretty decent. I was expecting the worst with how boring Sony's first party box arts have been.

 

[BadWolf]

Looks solid and gives a good idea of what the game is about.

 

[k0decraft]

I like it.

 

[Kasey]

Bout a million times better than 'brooding dude with his back to the camera' we've seen in countless games.

 

[Ricelord]

Yup it was that, I was thinking I gone crazy.

 

[cyberninja]

I'll be there day one. I'm a sucker for zombies and postacopalypsistic worlds.

 

[MrConbon210]

DUDE GET UP THERE'S A HORDE OF ZOMBIES RIGHT BEHIND YOU

 

[Terryfromyokosuka]

Something is off...like he's posing while a horde of zombies are coming at him. At least show some sort of fear or uncertainty like TLOU did in their boxart.

 

[dancingphlower]

Well it's certainly representative of the game. Actually, it's not bad and has more color than I expected. But it could definitely use more color, imo.

 

[Deimos]

Not bad.

 

[Nagito]

Looking good and to the point.

 

[Ascenion]

Just not a Sam Witwer fan. Blech. Best of luck to Bend though.

 

[Oneself]

Looks cool. "Gamey" cool, not artsy cool.

 

[Aokiji]

much better than the "guy's back to us" picture

 

[Strike]

Nice. Doesn't look to far off from that mock-up someone here came up with not too long ago.

Yeah, that is probably my main critique. Everything else is cool though - the color, the visual as a means to fully describe the selling points of the game, etc..

 

[Deleted member 5535]

Pretty generic much like the game itself.

 

[Chopin the Third]

Looks great

Yup. This is actually interesting and explains what the game is like.

 

[karloxz]

I like it a lot.

Day 1.

 

[Falconbox]

Better than just an image of the character with no idea what the game is about (looking at you, TLOU and TLOU Remastered).

 

[principal]

He looks kewl

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Pretty generic much like the game itself.

How many games have boxarts like this?

 

[Hey Please]

 

[The Letter C]

Very generic, expecting the game to be fun but nothing is hyping me at the moment.

In TLOU's defense, the game IS about Joel and Ellie.

 

[noyram23]

Dude looks like the leader of the zombie horde instead, not sure I like it.

 

[Deleted member 13250]

Looking good... here's hoping they improve the performance and I'll be day one!

Pretty generic much like the game itself.
