The Dance Central 2 Animated Box Art

If the box art actually animated like that I would buy this just for the box art.

10 years down the road, I expect this kind of box art to come with all of my digital downloadable releases...

of course, it would be compatible with my AR glasses, and I could view it while holding it in my hand.

What the dick

@thirteenyahs: Looks like you're dating the wrong sister.

"More fun"

Well, I'll be the judge of that.

oh god! i can c this being the start of somthing not to particulary great!!

ah i now i get it! lol

flexible OLED with batteries inside the box. make it the collectors edition and I wont even care about the cloth map.

Imagine if they actually did that on the shelf. Would be insane.

This game is part of the new genre of games that have come out in this last generation, called "Douche Bag".

Then douche me up, cos this game rules.

Seriously.

Branthog is just too cool to dance.

For real though, Dance Central is awesome.

If my video game boxes all did that I'd have epilepsy.

Oh boy!

funky backing music :D

I am so confused.

Man, I can't wait for the future, where animated boxart will actually be a thing.

What?

Nice but it needs more nuggs.

I'll admit. Worth watching just to listen to the Dance Central 2 menu music.

NNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGHH MY DANCE CENTRAL 2 BOX ART IS ALIVE ALSO WHY AM I SURROUNDED BY ALL OF THESE EMPTY BOTTLES OF XANAX AAHHH

This game is seriously hotness. Such a good track list and the voice controls work well. Having a blast playing it with the wife.

One day, they'll just beam images onto our eyeglasses. And all boxes will actually do this kinda stuff in real-time. Like those AR games you can play on the 3DS through the cameras? Except instead of needing a smartphone or console, it's just there, on your eyeglasses (or contacts) 24/7. All sorts of stuff that won't actually exist. You'll walk by a McDonalds and see Ronald dancing outside to attract customers, then you'll lift up your glasses and it turns out he's not really there. It's gonna be crazy when everything is doing stuff like this.

If you don't know about the AR stuff the 3DS (and some smartphones) do, take a look at the Quick Look for Tetris Axis: http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-tetris-axis/17-4976/

Fortunately, when those days come, most of us tech-savvy individuals will have Adblock 2.0 installed to our glasses to block out all that stupid crap and see only the important stuff.

A pretty shitty one at that too.

Hey, it's got more fun in it! Yes!

Make a dancing game. Make an ad for it with still images.

This just seems like the stuff they throw up on TVs in gamestores. It's 4:3 too, so that makes some sense.

This is probably true, though.

See, if Harmonix was still owned by Viacom they could have totally made animated box art using electronic paper. Now, they have to resort to such gimmicks as making good games and limiting the animated box art to commercials. Who wants that?

This reminds me of the annoying cereal box in Minority Report. Make it happen.

it's coming. people are working out reel-to-reel printing of OLEDs on plastics using inks & dies. Pretty much like newspaper. it'll look kind of crappy but who cares. don't know about the brains and video storage tho.

*Looks at Brad*

@MrGtD: I have a goddamn degree in making you dance!

I hope that's on your business card.

its so people dont get confused with just dance.

I can't wait for animated box art to be a reality.

Never before has a trailer taken me on such an emotional roller coaster.

Pinball sound FX are soooooooo in this year.

I am thoroughly prepared to become a consumer and purchase this product after seeing this superb marketing tour de force.

This video needs more John Drake. Maybe I should turn on QVC..

@Johntdrake: Is that what you got for going to Harvard?

@MrGtD: I have a goddamn degree in making you dance!

@JTHomeslice: GIVE ME ALL OF THE MONIES, I WILL ANIMATE EVERYTHING. MOVIES FTW!

Also, stop trolling our press assets, Brad, and get back to perfecting Bad Romance on Hard.

There should've been big flashing text on the bottom of the video: PRODUCED BY A HARVARD GRADUATE

They left out Nug Battles off of the box art, but I'm pretty sure I saw it as a feature on GB.

This is why they pay Drake the big bucks.

I whip dat cover art back and forth...
