YES! it turns out that you will now be able to vote for Bioshocks reverasable art! you can put down those pitchforks...wipe the tears away and finally rejoyce that this tradgey that has befallen all gamer-kind will not be as horrific as originally predicted, the dudbros will not invade our homes and kill our women and children,

there is hope my freinds!

personally I like #2

EDIT: had to revise poll....

EDIT2: revising poll is not possile aparently..aploliges

 

[CityofTreez]

There are actually 6 options, FYI. http://irrationalgames.com/insider/poll/

But I vote for #2 here.

 

[Andy Shandy]

I quite like #4 and #5 so flipped a coin to decide what to vote for and thanks to random chance my vote went to #5.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

definitely number 2 for the poll, that red one is gorgeous.

still, the other ones don't bug me, the default never bugged me either. Thanks to steam I haven't seen a physical game cover in over a year probably.

I liked number 4. It's just so stylized and, more importantly, different. I'm a sucker for different.

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Yeah 2 gets my vote. Really creepy....

I prefer #6, when I thought of the box art I would put on it, it involved having Elizabeth and Columbia in frame at least partially. Although, #4 also looks great, I just prefer a character focus.

 

[Owen Robertson]

Holy shit 2 is winning! Gamers have taste?! It looks like the cover of Catcher in the Rye with all the red.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I voted for #5. Probably should've been the one the went with initially.

 

[Mordekaien]

The second one from OP's link. It looks great, and original at the same time.

You know, there is a difference between pointing out that something sucks, complaining about something, and declaring something to be the end of the world.

I... just felt the need to point that out. The "Ohhh, are we really complaining about this now?" response irritates the living shit out of me.

Oh, also, you linked the wrong page. That only shows three of the six options and isn't the actual poll. Real poll with all options over here. [http://irrationalgames.com/insider/poll/] Go and vote for Number 6.

*ahem*

Personally I prefer this one:

Spoiler

I've always had a soft spot for designs/images with a small character facing a much larger one.

And this is why it was good that people complained, now both sides can be happy.

 

[Unsilenced]

I'm a big fan of #5, actually. Yeah yeah middle aged white guy with a gun, but the way he's posed is much more "classic hero" then the ol' "I'm so badass I don't even look at the sparks about to set my junk on fire."

The poses are stylized and show the relationship of the characters. It's "here's this dude tasked to protect this girl" instead of "here's this badass dude. Oh and also there's a chick or something."

That said, I also love number 4. I'd stand out on a shelf, to say the least.

 

[Erttheking]

Eh...I still don't really see this as getting worked up over. Also #4 has WAY too much red, it looks ugly.

I picked number 5 on the Irrational site. It looks best in my eyes, and it's furthering the whole gender equality thing in cover art everyone seems so fixated on now, with a strong (and attrractive but NOT sexualised) female character in front as the focus of the cover. Personally, I wish that was the default cover and the one we've been given could be the flippable one, but oh well...
