I was gonna post this myself haha. But really, the logo is hard to use so it kinda trapped itself to this anyway

[ZombieDeadpool8]

Well, as non-effort boxes go....

[HalfSwiss]

Definitely placeholder.

[oxol]

This has been around as a placeholder pretty much ever since the game got announced.
Quite boring, but would work fine on a LE/SE cover, I guess.

Sea-horse getting blowjob

More like a Giraffe.

More like the number 6 not getting a blowjob

No, it's definitely something getting a BJ

[Necromancer]

^Doesn't get it.

^Doesn't get it.

No, the joke just pisses me off. And I for the life of me, only see a 6

[Necromancer]

only see a 6

Then clearly you don't get it.

Not quite as cool as the japanese edition, but alot cheaper.

[afifan000]

Then clearly you don't get it.

Or he's just not into stupid jokes, that could be plausible as well.

The European Collector's Edition looks boring as well though lol

[roza]

I think it looks pretty cool.
Art Book, hoodie, steelbook and patches, just what I like!

[AgentLampshade]

I love the hoody. It's subtle enough that any passing observer doesn't recognise it immediately, but any other fan would get it and make a little smile and say quietly "I get it, that's pretty cool."

[oxol]

I love the hoody. It's subtle enough that any passing observer doesn't recognise it immediately, but any other fan would get it and make a little smile and say quietly "I get it, that's pretty cool."

Yeah, I'm sick tired of all the shirts that just screams "look at me, I'm a nerd", so these kind of shirts are refreshing and nice to see.

Don't know if this is a placeholder packshot too, but they've updated the official packshot:

Just like everything else in Resident Evil 6. This boxart sucks by the way.

Oh are we doing the anti-everythingthatiscapcom shtick again? Sounds fun!
Grr.... sure hate that capcom, grrr.........

Oh are we doing the anti-everythingthatiscapcom shtick again? Sounds fun!
Grr.... sure hate that capcom, grrr.........

As a Capcom fan since the NES days, and an owner of many CAPCOM titles and a long time supporter of them, I feel very disappointed in the way that there games have been turning out these days, and I think the way they run their business is absolutely horrible. They treat the fans like crap, don't listen to any criticism, and they blatantly lie, and when caught in a lie, don't care and don't do anything to fix any problems. Have you even been fallowing Resident Evil 6? You can't honestly tell me that they aren't trying to grab the call of duty crowd to get a hold of some of that money, and now the boxart(placeholder or not) looks extremely similar to Modern Warfare 3.

But you don't want to hear anything about that, you'd rather just make childish remarks instead of actually trying to prove whatever point you were trying to make. If you want to blindly supporting a company that does not give a damn about what you think, or how you feel, and just wants you're money, then keep buying there games and making things harder for the rest of us. Also by the way, I think Resident Evil 6 looks like a great game, I do however think this boxart looks like a blatant Modern Warfare 3 knock off.

Oh lordy, they make DLC. How dare they try to turn a profit!


Have you even been fallowing Resident Evil 6? You can't honestly tell me that they aren't trying to grab the call of duty crowd to get a hold of some of that money,

Not particularlly. I don't like Resident Evil, never have never will. But I do know enough that I can honestly say that calling Resident Evil 6 a CoD rip-off is pretty damn ignorant.


and now the boxart(placeholder or not) looks extremely similar to Modern Warfare 3.

Dark renders on a white background. Clearly only Call of Duty has done this and no other game at all.


But you don't want to hear anything about that, you'd rather just make childish remarks instead of actually trying to prove whatever point you were trying to make.

So you're saying I'm making childish remarks.... by making a childish remark. Okay. Makes sense to me.


If you want to blindly supporting a company that does not give a damn about what you think, or how you feel, and just wants you're money, then keep buying there games and making things harder for the rest of us.

You're right, I'll show Capcom by not buying their games. This will defiantly make them think differently abou-
Wait the fuck am I talking about, I don't buy Capcom games anyway. Guess this argument fell flat on it's face, huh.

Seriously, complaining that a company doesn't care about it's customers because they, what, cancelled a megaman game? Put DLC on disc? Companies do that. It's how they make money, like it or not.

Also, Harder on the rest of you? lolwut? What was Capcom gonna have a sudden revelization if I DIDN'T buy Street Fighter X Tekken or whatver the fuck their last game was? Like they're all sitting around a table going, DAMN, ONE PERSON DIDN'T BUY OUR GAME, LETS CHANGE OUR BUSINESS POLICIES? I don't know about you, but I for one won't be letting petty grudges or biases towards Capcom interfer with my perception of a good or bad game when it comes time to make a purchase. I'd suggest you do the same.

[Pan]

Capcom doesn't make DLC, tey take bits and pieces out of the main game, during it's initial development, and charge you money for it. The content is on the disc, you payed for it, you can't touch it unless you pay for it again. That is wrong. I was also trying to get the point across that Capcom is taking assets from Call of Duty(things like regenerating health and cover mechanics, two things that were never a part of resident evil and were never asked for) and implementing them in Resident Evil 6 to try and attract fans of that game, while fans of Resident Evil do not want this. Now the new boxart looks just like Call of Duty? Come on.

And the dark render on the white background, it looks like Modern Warfare 3, Take a look side by side and tell me they don't look the same, I don't care which other companies have put out boxart that looks similar, my point is that Resident Evil 6 boxart and Modern Warfare 3 boxart look the same. Am I wrong? And please point me to my childish remark, because I called you out and said you were being childish that means I'm being childish? Not how it works buddy.

Just because you don't think people can make a difference by not supporting a company, doesn't mean it's' true. The fans of Mass Effect 3 didn't like the ending, they made it known at great lengths, and they got a reaction from the company. That made a difference. I don't support Capcom, and others who feel the same as me don't support Capcom. They have been reported to the Better Business Bureau on numerous occasions due to bad business practices, the companies stocks have dropped because of this, and more people will be driven away if their business practices aren't changed, thus making a difference. Or people can just sit back, and take all the crap companies through at them, keep buying their products and making them money, and keep getting screwed over time and time again with each passing game.

I don't care if you personally support or don't support Capcom, but you were acting like a little brat with your earlier comments, and you still are. I made a simple post to point out how much the new boxart looks like Call of Duty(because it does) and you go and jump all over me for being a Capcom hater, when apparently you don't even care about Capcom or Resident Evil. What was the point? Just to get a rise out of me? Seriously, grow up.

And before you start, I don't care at all if you don't think this game stole anything from Call of Duty what so ever, or that tons of other games use these mechanics, or how many boxarts look similar. My points are that this boxart looks like Call of Duty, and that Capcom and Resident Evil 6 is obviously trying to cash in with the Call of Duty fans, or the Gears of War fans, or fans of any other yearly actions games out there.

[Ronthis the Werewolf]

Grr.... sure hate that capcom, grrr.........

Hey now, that's my thing.

[Pan]

Not particularlly. I don't like Resident Evil, never have never will.
Wait the fuck am I talking about, I don't buy Capcom games anyway.

You stated right here that you are not a fan of the Resident Evil series, don't care about Capcom, and don't give a damn about the upcoming Resident Evil 6. So why should I care about your opinion of this series or company at all? I don't think any more needs to be said, I'm certainly done with this idiotic argument.

[Necromancer]

Capcom doesn't make DLC, tey take bits and pieces out of the main game, during it's initial development, and charge you money for it. The content is on the disc, you payed for it, you can't touch it unless you pay for it again. That is wrong.

Like it or not, you're not really ENTITLED to anything on that disc other than what the company gives you access to. I don't neccesarily agree with it, but I understand it. They're a business, this is how they make more money. This said, not all on-disc DLC is the result of just taking content from early development and locking it up. There are times where the content was always intended as DLC and the data was put on the disc for optimal downloading speeds and ease of access for those who do wish to download it. It's meant for convienence.


I was also trying to get the point across that Capcom is taking assets from Call of Duty(things like regenerating health and cover mechanics, two things that were never a part of resident evil and were never asked for) and implementing them in Resident Evil 6 to try and attract fans of that game, while fans of Resident Evil do not want this.

Call of duty was not the first nor the only game to use regenerating health, nor will it be the last. Assuming that the implementation of this into RE has any relation to CoD is just stupid. Last I played CoD, it doesn't HAVE cover mechanics, so they'res no way they're stealing that from CoD either.


Now the new boxart looks just like Call of Duty? Come on.

The only thing it has in common is the dark render on a white background.


And the dark render on the white background, it looks like Modern Warfare 3, Take a look side by side and tell me they don't look the same, I don't care which other companies have put out boxart that looks similar, my point is that Resident Evil 6 boxart and Modern Warfare 3 boxart look the same. Am I wrong?

The point I'm making here is that this design isn't something unique to CoD. It never was. For all you know Resident Evil 6's box could be copying another game's boxart, if at all. Assuming this is an attempt to copy CoD simply on a boxart design that has been used several times before is just jumping to conclusions.


And please point me to my childish remark, because I called you out and said you were being childish that means I'm being childish? Not how it works buddy.

This hissy fit you're having in this paragraph right now? One of them. You can engage in intellectual conversation without throwing insults because people disagree with you. I know you have it in you :)


Just because you don't think people can make a difference by not supporting a company, doesn't mean it's' true.

No, this is a fairly accurate assessment, FOR THE MOST PART.


The fans of Mass Effect 3 didn't like the ending, they made it known at great lengths, and they got a reaction from the company. That made a difference.

And the difference here being the difference between content and business practices. Adding on a few cutscenes is much easier than changing the way an entire company operates. And even then the ME3 extended cut didn't stray very far from the original endings, so why would Capcom make a u-turn just because a small portion of people don't like their business practices. They'll keep doing it, and you not buying their games isn't going to have any effect on the way they conduct business. Like it or not, you and your Capcom Boycott group, make up a small chunk of their consumer base. They're not losing enough to warrant any change.


Or people can just sit back, and take all the crap companies through at them, keep buying their products and making them money, and keep getting screwed over time and time again with each passing game.

OR, OR, NOW BARE WITH ME HERE.
They can judge products on an individual basis and not on the company.
Further more, if they keep buying the "crap" thrown at them, then I guess the vast majority would agree, no it is in fact: NOT crap. And really why does the company even matter in the end? You enjoy the game or you don't. The product is what matters, not the company, and you should be judging based on what you get, not on a company logo slapped on the front of the box :)


I don't care if you personally support or don't support Capcom, but you were acting like a little brat with your earlier comments, and you still are.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were trying to have an intellectual debate here. But I guess we can't have opinions on VGBA without losing our tempers, huh :)


I made a simple post to point out how much the new boxart looks like Call of Duty(because it does) and you go and jump all over me for being a Capcom hater, when apparently you don't even care about Capcom or Resident Evil. What was the point? Just to get a rise out of me? Seriously, grow up.

You only have yourself to blame if someone "got a rise out of you." I only pointed out the art style is very commonly used, and not neccesarily associated with MW3, to which you started your anti-capcom shtick. I believe you yourself said that this discussion was only about the boxart, so I guess that means you were the first one to go off on the capcom hating topic. Funny how that works, huh :)


And before you start, I don't care at all if you don't think this game stole anything from Call of Duty what so ever, or that tons of other games use these mechanics, or how many boxarts look similar. My points are that this boxart looks like Call of Duty, and that Capcom and Resident Evil 6 is obviously trying to cash in with the Call of Duty fans, or the Gears of War fans, or fans of any other yearly actions games out there.

So you don't care if I think Resident Evil 6 isn't taking anything from Call of Duty, because you think it is. Brilliant.


You stated right here that you are not a fan of the Resident Evil series, don't care about Capcom, and don't give a damn about the upcoming Resident Evil 6. So why should I care about your opinion of this series or company at all? I don't think any more needs to be said, I'm certainly done with this idiotic argument.

So funny how someone can just dismiss an argument as idiotic just because they disagree with someone's opinions. Sorry you couldn't handle having a mature discussion on the topic :)

Why bother? You bring nothing to your side of the argument but ignorance, and insult me when I call you out on something. I called you childish, so now I can't handle a "mature discussion". Whatever, prove to me that you can handle a mature discussion first, and I'll think about the points you try and make.

The cover would be good if the six was below the title

[Eggboy'13]

The box is cool, but the position of the six, the color, all that, and the way it's arranged, it kinda kills it.

The six was always bad though :P

[AgentLampshade]

Who was it that thought of using the "VI" in "evil" as a roman numeral? Because I really liked that idea.

EDIT: It was BacKin5Minutes, kudos to him. (http://vgboxart.com/view/47561/resident-evil-6-cover/)

[Pleiades]

Who was it that thought of using the "VI" in "evil" as a roman numeral? Because I really liked that idea.

This is one of the rare instances in which I wouldn't mind the numeric value being part of the actual title.

I still can't dig the logo...

[Bastart]

Seems like a bit of character overkill, I'd say :/

and yeah the logo is quite creative, but it isn't really attractive imo.

[roza]

Look at ADA. Her render crops at the bottom. Not too good

[XCore]

This is shit man

[Eggboy'13]

Could be worse, but yeah, a few layers (Characters) moved around a bit could do wonders.
Still, not that bad. I like the purple.
