    Wondering what Brütal Legend is going to look like when you snatch it from the retail shelf this October? Wonder no more: fresh from my inbox, here's the newly released box art.



     
     


     
     


    I must say I'm pleased to see Mr. Schafer getting top billing; the guy is (near as I can tell) as instrumental to the nature and quality of the product as a game designer can get. I really think (or at least hope) this could be Double Fine's big breakout commercial success, which it so richly deserves after the tragedy of Psychonauts. Do you think this cover will grab and entice the average consumer come, uh, Rocktober?

    hah, rocktober - very nice word usage Brad.


    That's about what I expected the boxart to look like.  I do think it might capture interest, I mean it's a guy wielding an axe and a axe, what more could one ask for?

    I hope it grabs 'average' consumers. Most importantly, I hope this game is good. If it is, i'll be sure to spread the word!

    They should have had "Staring Jack Black" on the cover. That way average consumers would see it and be like "I've heard of him, i think i'll buy it".

    @zombie2011: you know, this is a good point.  If they want to sell to the average joe, having Jack Blacks name on the cover would help greatly with that.

    I think if they wanted to grab and entice the average consumer, they should have put 'Jack Black' on the cover.

    Anybody that knows who Tim Schafer is won't be buying it because it has a nice box.

    Edit: Beaten to it by these wise gentlemen ^^.

    Hasn't Tim Schafer's name been on the cover of all of his games?

    Also, they could package this in a ziplock bag and I would spend $60 for it on day one but the box art is very pleasant.

    I actually expected Jack Black to get top billing, with no mention of Tim Schafer at all.

    Surprised that Jack Black isn't mentioned on the cover, or that it doesn't say that it's featuring some of the biggest people in metal. But I kinda prefer that it isn't like that.

    It's good to see Tim is considered big enough to have his name on the box of his own damn game.  There must be like 5 guys that can claim they've done that.

    Well if they release a PC version then I'd buy it through Steam which has no box or ziplock bag.  ;)

    I like how it says "A Tim Schafer Game" at the top-left.  I don't suppose there are that many people who know who he is - or at least, the people who'll buy this probably won't know.  Nice mark of respect from EA though, to let him have his name on the front cover.

    I want this game to do really well, but I have a bad feeling about all of this. EA has spent a lot of money advertising this game, and if it totally bombs it will be a complete disaster for all those involved. Hopefully not though!

    "A Tim Schafer game" in the top-left corner and the large Double Fine logo are great.

    Not to mention the art itself rocks.
