I remember there was a contest between 3 different box art designs and this was one of them. I hated all of the possible choices, but this is likely genuine.

#4 Posted by Lies (3864 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Yeah, this is the one that won that contest.

What idiots voted for a box art with white in it?

#6 Posted by suneku (2997 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Yeah this is a pretty ugly box art.

#7 Edited by DualReaver (3882 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

That looks bad on so many levels.

Wow, never before has box art had so much fail.

That was the other one in the contest.

#11 Posted by DualReaver (3882 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Was one of the reqs for the cover art to contain high amounts of fail and suck?

#12 Posted by Fr0Br0 (3066 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Shouldn't there be like, I don't know... SHADOWS?

#13 Posted by Soap (3354 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Also, with all the years of amazing Spiderman comic book covers wasn't that enough inspiration to come up an original but still theme fitting image?

Apparently so

They weren't given the best options.

Wow, that's horrendous.

I always liked Todd McFarlane's Spiderman the best.

I thought this was bad, but the other one look worse. :/

#19 Posted by Nude_Dude (1076 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

No this is the actual box art

#20 Posted by VibratingDonkey (765 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Are they growing out of his armpits?

#21 Posted by brukaoru (5078 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

@Nude_Dude:
That looks better than what they have. They should endorse yours!

#22 Posted by SpikeSpiegel (6816 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

That is pretty much crap on a box.

Shit yeah. I like how he shoots rope ladders, must be much easier to climb than a lousy web.

The actual boxart is a picture of Sherlock Holmes with a dozen pipes in his mouth.

#25 Posted by Snail (7824 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter, the game will be a shallow beat em' up with lousy graphic quality (much like the game from the first movie).

#26 Posted by pause422 (6068 posts) - 4 years, 8 months ago

regardless, once more I doubt it will be great anyway...every one so far has only been between barely mediocre to terrible.
