Resonance Of Fate US Box Art Released, It's... Messy

December 15, 2009 in Photos comments 13

The Japanese Resonance of Fate box art is pretty. The US box art...not so much.

I don't know if it's the characters' strange poses, or the fact that they seem to be placed randomly onto the cover, or the bizarrely high positioning of the text, or a mix of all three, but something doesn't look right.

You’ll clearly see why. While the North American box art for Sega and tri-Ace’s Resonance of Fate isn’t that bad, it is clearly a step down from the game’s previously revealed Japanese box art. Taking one quick look at each of them will clearly highlight the advantages of the Japanese art.

      I know because of the pixelation around the characters and for having seen quite a few shops in my time.

        I know becuase it all looks like stock art, but whatever.

    JP art reminds me of Ico. This makes it seem like they're trying to bill it as more of an action title, doesn't look particularly good but I wouldn't call it a mess.

    It looks like a clumsy photoshop, imo.

    It looks obviously photoshoped but it looks okay.

    All the intense action in the game and they couldn't find one decent picture to express that?

    Could have been all three standing three with the two lead males back-to-back and the girl in the center of them, each holding up the gun defensively.

    Oh well...

      Not all of them are made in Photoshop. In fact, I'd be surprised if many were other than the addition of the basic text and the like.

        Yes, I guarantee you they are made in photoshop. Its the absolute industry standard. What else do you think they make them in? paint? Even for adding text, they use PS. Simply for its ease of use its output quality. You cant select DPI on paint. You cant do jack shit in paint.

        Almost all concept or cover art in games is digitally colored in Photoshop or Corel Painter.

    If they'd left the girl out of that particular boxart, it wouldn't be so bad. She just throws off the balancing of the design, much like the Borderlands boxart (whoever came up with that has the IQ of a monkey wrench...which is probably what they used to draw it).
