BioShock Infinite Gets a "Reversible Cover"

[mateushac]

I am personally impressed with the lack of love for #2. It looks and feels so much like what I enjoyed from Bioshock (ie. it focuses on the subject of power and from there it delves into stuff like freedom and oppression).
For me 4 would come second as it lacks a little bit on the contrast department (the logo doesn't mix very well with the background) and doesn't do much to convey anything at all about the game.
6 would be acceptable, but it looks like it's just going for the emotional grab... so no...

I wouldn't even dare to comment on the rest.

I like the second cover best, with the sixth being my next choice. Not a fan of all the red in four.

And guys, those of you complaining about the "bitching" and "butthurt" are the ones exaggerating things. Here's how things went: 1) People have noticed the trend of covers featuring angry dudes with guns. 2) BioShock Infinite's cover is unvealed, and it features an angry dude with a gun. 3) People noticed this and remarked on it. The strongest reaction I saw was mild annoyance.

There are different levels of complaining, people. Don't confuse people being a little annoyed with them thinking something is the worst, most evil thing ever.

My mini-review on each...

1. Looks like a cartoon or some cover from the 90's - not really interesting.

2. Handyman is ugly.

3. They just put the chick on the front too? Well I 'spose it's still better than the original cos of eye-candy and less patriotism.

4. Meh the art is alright but I don't like the red...makes it seem too evil and hurts my eyes to look at it for too long.

5. A better version of 3...still the orange/blue contrast is distracting.

6. Probably the best although the background colours could be a bit less dull...more clouds and sky please!

My vote goes for #6 but I wouldn't mind #5

I actually called it, and I love it. Thank you Levine, thank you.

It restores my faith in humanity to see that number 4 and then number 6 are the top two in the vote as of right now.

Number 4 with Songbird in it gets my thumbs up.

 

[Nicole Maronn]

I voted for Number 6. I love the artwork, reminds me of Norman Rockwell's covers for the Saturday Evening Post!

I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs. Whenever I see an article talking about anything that is Ken Levine related, I seem pre-programmed to do a certain action. It's not salivate though, my face twists into a contorted grimace and I get annoyed. This guy lobbies for so much attention it's mind blowing. He is giving Molyneux a run for his money at this point. My advice: Shut the fuck up and make games, idiot.

It disturbs me that this was ever an issue. People need to sort out their God damned priorities.

 

[Icehearted]

Holy shit, Infinite is still a thing?

Silly wabbit! Rocks aren't for living under.

I dig the style on 6, it definitely feels more in synch with the vibe of the game.

I would have to say the 4 and 6 are the best two covers but I can't decide which one I like better.

 

[DementedSheep]

Either number 4 or 6.
I?m leaning towards 6 because the logo of 4 looks out of place with the rest of the image. I'd be happy with #2 as well.
Number 1 is terrible, boring as hell and really out of proportion. I know it's stylized but that's just bad, I really hope that doesn't win (I doubt it will but you never know).
Number 3 is aright but boring.
5 is horrible and doesn't flow. It looks really obvious that it?s a bunch of separate images pasted together rather than one.

Edit:
I actually really like these (fan made?) covers that appeared in the thread about the main cover.

Why not one of these instead?
Then again, hopefully with being European, I won't have to look at that cover.

The original cover art actually didn't bother me too much, but the fact that they were willing to do this reversible-cover upon hearing the complaints of their fans is a testament to how awesome the guys at Irrational are.

#4 or #6 will probably get my vote, althoug #2 does look pretty awesome...

The current poll is:

Design 4
40%

Design 6
29%

Design 5
12%

Design 3
8%

Design 2
6%

Design 1
5%

And people say that whining on the internet does nothing.

Seriously props to Irrational for listening and doing this.

Going with the red one...

I'm not to keen on any of them really.

1: It's a pin up gal, with bad proportions.

2: Not a fan of the creature design for the Handymen and the whole thing screams repurposed concept art with the logo plastered on in photoshop.

3:Same as origional cover, but with both characters - better than origional for that, but not really worth making an alternative option.

4: Nice pic. Reminds me of the Japanesse FFVI cover. However the art style is so alien to the game design. Nothing about this picture reminds me of Bioshock.

5: Same issue as three, but with the girl in the fore. The colour choice is a bit meh however and it makes no reference to the game world. It's the sort of cover I would expect from a film with high profile actors who are counting on recognition to sell. Doesn't really work for a game though.

6: Probably my favorite of the bunch, but it's doesn't really 'wow' me a great deal.

Order of preference: 6, 3, Original, 5, 4, 2, 1.

I still might Vote for #6 even though i'll be getting the steam version.
