The case looks awesome, and even though theer is no mention of Jack Black on it, one look at the character and you could recognise him. As long as EA market this right, it will hopefully be an amazing seller!

Can't wait for ROCKTOPTER!!!!

Cool

F YEAH !!

Lot of people saying that jack black's name isnt on the front. I'm predicting his name will be on the back cover. The front is to grab your attention which it does quite nicely, and I'm sure his name will be on the back to something like JACK BLACK is EDDIE RIGGS... or something of that nature.

I'm shocked that there is no advertisement of Jack Black on the front. That may have sold them some more copies... But I'm still happy with this box art,

People care about box art?

*perplexed*

im glad it has tim schafer's name instead of jack black's

The metalheads will buy it in droves, so yeah. I'd say this game has the potential to be a big commercial hit for Schafer.

AWESOME.

I want a poster of it myself. And yes this does look to have a mass-market appeal to it too. But its hard to say as i have been following the game for a year or so now. I'm just still mad that their is no PC version of it. Oh well i guess i need some game to turn my 360 on for. Oh god its gonna RROD from all the dust around it i just know it is. I have gotten away with no problems with it for too long. Other then the whole needing to drive to the store 6 times (1 hour each way and this was back when gas was up to $1.40 a liter) to finally get a 360 that worked.

I kind of wish it looked more like the cover to a heavy metal album.

GOTY, calling it now.

badass

Wait....it has online play?

I like how it says a Tim Schafer Game at the top like people in the mainstream know who he is.

YES YES YES YES YES!
Hopefully this will help sell copies of the game, even more so than Jack Black.

Glad to see they've been advertising for the game as well...

I own a copy of Psychonauts, and I'll definitely be picking this up when it comes out.

Hopefully everybody else does too.

I like that it doesn't say "Staring Jack Black" on the front.  I also love (and have loved since my first view of it) the rock-dude version of the Double Fine logo.  The special EA logo is also nice.  I've loved games Tim Schafer has worked for a long time (he was a writer on Secret of Monkey Island).  I hope the game is up to his usually high standards and (if it is) also becomes a big commercial hit.  Ken Levine was involved in tons of critical successes for years before Bioshock hit big commercially, now it's Tim Schafer's turn.

Judging by that shade of that blue sky it could pretty easily have the L4D effect of drawing a customers attention away from the usual darker covers.

SOLD!

I like that they didn't bill Jack Black at all, I also wondering if this will be the PAL region box art or if we will get an alternative as is often the case.

I literally want to aplaud the producers for allowing Tim's name at the top for this game...maybe I'm just drunk.

I'm just worried that people will see this and think it's some Guitar Hero clone.

EFF YEAH

i can see it selling because jack black is in it. which is not really a good reason for a game to sell

If you're already familiar with the game, this box art is great. I can imagine it looks a little goofy, and maybe even borderline stupid to someone who isn't already aware of it. I sure hope it's a success. I know I'm looking forward to it whether the mainstream audience catches on or not.

Looking pretty awesome. I like how they took the liberty to make the Double Fine logo totally metal.

Awesome. I can't wait for this game.

REmings me of some of the Vacation movie posters

Who knows what grabs the attention of the average consumer? Crap still sells. Marketing is everything unfortunately. Not for you or me, but to hit the multimillion mark you have to shove the product down people's throats or they won't even know it exists. He's holding a guitar out into the foreground. Maybe Guitar Hero fans wil mistake it for a rythm game. The game looks great, and I'm sure it will be. But lots of good games have been made and sold like shit. Only time will tell. By the way, I thought EA dropped this game; or am I confusing the details? EA...

I want poster thats fuckin awesome and awesome ands hahhssasss!!!!!!!

They should have stamped Jack blacks name on the cover, that would sell a bunch more copies just because a big name actor means a game is good regardless.

is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the xbox cover seems to be more "zoomed in", whilst the ps3 cover is more "zoomed out"... wonder why that is... not really that important, but just curious lol. probably because of the format/layout of the differing covers?

AWESOME

A Tim 'SLhafer' Game...?!

I really hope for Tim Schafer this one's going to sell a gazillion copies, 'cause... i don't think he can handle another commercial failure that was Psychonauts.
With a power house publisher that is EA backing this product, it's highly unlikely that it's not going to do well..

Awesome cover. It's weird they're not touting Jack Black all over it.

Seeing E.A. on the box just kills it for me.

Chicks with swords are hot.

>A tim schafer game

Does the average person know who tim schafer is?

no.

"A Tim Schafer Game"
Oh my that's totally sexy. More games need to do this.

it looks like it was better designed for the ps3 box for some reason. like tim schafers name is in that nice little spot there. 

those logos and the art are awesome, but i still think that Psychonauts was very overrated. it wasnt even that good of a game, thats why it didnt sell that much. not that hard to figure out. and Brutal Legend pisses me off even more because ITS NOT COMING TO THE FUCKING PC!!! WTF TIM?????

Eddie Riggs does look a good deal like Jack Black so I hope that gets "average" consumers who see this on the store shelf  and BUY IT. Please, I want great things for Double Fine. Oh, and I think the cover is a little boring, does anybody think the cover should look just a little more metal?

looking good

This game is going to be so epic

That's BRUTAL!!!!!

sick box art
