Summer 2012 Box Art Report Card

Steph-O of Play Legit writes "Darksiders II has used an understated visual campaign for all of its game advertisements, and they have stuck with it for the game cover as well. I really like that we see a post-battle pose and background, which is complimented by the limited color pallet and clean visuals."

Am I the only person that sees that the wow cover is perspectively wrong? The pandas rear arm and staff are in front of the portal yet his stomach falls behind it. This would be OK if we weren't looking at the panda head on with his arms stretched out.

How is it wrong? It looks as if he's leaning through the portal, with his arms on the outside of the portal, and his stomach inside of the portal, meaning he is really close to it. Kind of like if I were leaning forward through a window, I could, if the wall underneath the window wasn't too thick, put my arms on the outside of the window yet still have my main body inside.

Seems pretty fine perspective wise to me.

N4Flamers4245d ago

If you were a snake maybe. The problem with the picture is that his arms are perpendicular to the portal. On top of that they are way in front of it because there is a shadow underneath them. Next time you're in front of a window try that.

N4Flamers4245d ago

Just to illustrate further. His body is vertical so he's not leaning. There is no twist or bend in his torso and there is foreshortening on both his arms meaning they're coming right at you.

vickers5004245d ago

Maybe he has really long arms. He could also be leaning forward against something, meaning he wouldn't have to twist or bend his torso.

Considering that the space between the portal and the outside is probably paper thin, the pose within that picture is definitely plausible.

Also, the portal, while perfectly straight and circular to us, on his side could be slanted forward to him more, removing the need for him to lean on him.

Just saying, some of those things are plausible.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil27d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai26d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6926d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle26d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal26d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa26d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal26d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

xeniate167d ago

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.
