how to box art

capcom’s obsession with character composite action shots continues. the resi series is an endless wellspring of terrible american boxart.

what a horror show this is. boring cipher protagonist with the conspicuously missing eyes straddles ornate chair. far too many people crammed in frame and looking just off camera. silly hats. joel from the last of us. jason statham on bat duty. big ben and a flag in case you didn’t realise we’re in landaaan. complete shambles.

don’t you just love saturn box art though? thanks to you, satakore and cdcovers, and sorry it took so long!

the only instance I can remember of UK censorship for 'cultural' reasons. the reverse V is considered an insult in ol' Blighty. this was after the ESRB forced extra fingers to be added, as the original was too 'gruesome'.

yes, I realise it debuted on the Saturn in '97, and yes, I've been highly inconsistent in back-front orientation. once again, my thanks to cdcovers.cc.

thanks again, self-evidently, to the guys at neoseeker

Sony America, you are beyond my comprehension. This raises several questions: why the contrast changes? Why is Adam Jensen lurking in the background? Why does the US game sound like a Leisure Suit Larry title? What's wrong with clouds? I fear we will never know.

Okami has taught me to be a little more conscious of my sourcing. It's a shame I don't have my copy with me, or I'd do some high-res scans of the UK release.
