You Should Really See Resistance 3's Box Art

You may not know Olly Moss' name but you've probably seen his work; it's been regular blog fodder for a while now and for good reason--Moss' creations are fantastic and inspired. Insomniac Games decided to throw a curve ball in retail's direction with the box art for Resistance 3 and partnered with the British artist.

"We wanted Olly’s work to reflect that in Resistance 3, YOU are the Resistance," said Insomniac Games senior community manager James Stevenson on the Playstation Blog this morning. "Resistance 3 isn’t a military shooter, as the United States Army and SRPA have been destroyed. Instead, Resistance 3 is about the remnants of humanity finding any way possible to survive in a brutal world."

In addition to collaborating on the box, Moss has produced a series of Resistance-inspired pieces, some of which have debuted today, others to be dolled out as the game's public relations campaign rolls out.

Whether or not you even care about Resistance 3, you should keep up with Moss at his website.

I like it

Pretty

BE the resistance! Yeah I sure feel like resistance now.

"  YOU are the Resistance" 

They lost me at "only for playstation3"

I love Olly's work.  He's great.

So I'm the only one who thinks it's pretty bad and looks like it was made by a five year old?

I'm liking the city teeth and statue of liberty.  Wish he did something like that with the eyes/ nose

Love the series and definitely anticipating Resistance 3. This has been my go-to FPS franchise since the original.

I don't like it.

Really nice.

As a piece of art this is nice, but as box art it's quite terrible.

I like Olly Moss' work, but I don't find this piece that impressive. All the branding probably doesn't help.

Hmm its sarcastic? the art looks good but a bunch of logos on it makes it looks awful to me couldn´t Sony put those on the back its important info but why taint the good art?

Sweet I love Olly's stuff.

All I saw was the: PLAYSTATION MOVE

Meh.

Too many logos.

Pretty cool, I actually really like it.

That's actually pretty cool, especially for a NA release.

Oh hey, it's an alien skull. Neat.

The branding design kind of ruins it, but it's great anyway!

I like it. It's eye catching. But Sony sure does love those face close ups. Ratchet and Clank : A crack in time had that, God of War 3, Killzone 2, more?

Wait, you mean the previous Resistance games didn't pit you as a Resistance? Then what were the names for? Why not call them "World War II and Aliens and Stuff" and "World War II and Aliens and Stuff 2", respectively?...*starts development on guaranteed best seller World War II and Aliens and Stuff*

The box art will be the only good thing about it! :D

I don't know how it will affect sales numbers but I like it, its kind of ballsy for American boxart. Its not a man with a gun which is kind of amazing.

Ruined by pointless PS Move.

Love the art on this, but the PlayStation Move Compatible logo is definitely distracting.

YO DOG I HEARD YOU LIKE LOGOS 

I own a bunch of Moss shirts from threadless. Good stuff!

Cool, I'm currently playing Resistance 2 can't wait for this.

Looks to me like the art was designed with the logo placements (which are on every game's box) in mind. They're not obstructing anything but more orange. A smart and welcome decision. These logos aren't going anywhere, as people have been complaining about them for a decade plus. So design around 'em.

Olly moss is 3D

lol, 4d graffix

Oh wow, just saw photos of Ryan at one of Olly Moss' exhibitions while looking through Moss' blog!  http://www.moss.fm/post/5323145602/cut-out-show

Back in 2010, I wrote a recap for Bytejacker of all the game-related artwork Olly Moss had ever done. Dude is a straight-up genius!

I like it. Its not the usual man on fire, or man pointing gun or yawn you get the picture.

Pretty nice... Shame about all of those ugly logos on the front, though.

I gotta say, I'm not that impressed. Oh well.

Just saw this in the PS Blog, looks so damn slick.

Olly's stuff is always great. I understand he's a friend of the crew aswell.

YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE

Like it.

More boxart like this please.

Isn't that the logo for The Punisher? Or at least real close to it.

This doesn't fit the game at all. Sorry. I like it, but it's just not fitting.

The box art's great but the logos, the LOGOS! ugh...
