Official Box Art

[AvatarIII]

i notice one of the 4 marines is a girl, is that first confirmation of female marines? I'd certainly expect to be able to play as one if there's one on the cover, and i know a lot of people were hoping to be able to do that.
unfortunately the white background reminds me too much of the AVP movie poster


the zoomed in version on the console box is a lot better. with less white.

[Stringer2355]

it's the same cover that was in the collectors edition photo

[predator elite]

they should of made the cover with the marines in the hive aliens swarming in and egg infront of them with some of them opening

[predxeno]

I'm not especially fond of this cover (it looks too much like the AVP2010 Hunter Edition cover), but I guess I could get used to it.

[Ultragamer6]

I don't mind it but the only thing is why does the guy in the middle have goggles on his helmet? does this represent some level of customization?

[Berserker Pred]

I think its pretty cool. I'd say its on par with aliens vs predator 2010s CE box art.

I'd say it's exactly the same.

[Sexy Poot]

Pretty good. Has that nice blue tint from the film.

[dallevalle]

I love it !!! couldent ask for more!.

[Corporal Hicks]

Yeah, kinda lazy IMHO. Just the same Aliens graphic from the AvP CE edition. Good enough looking image but lazy none-the-less. Like the white though. Different style.

[Bio Mech Hunter]

Well, I like the artistic style, but for an Alien game, it should be dark, brooding, atmospheric... not so bright and clean. :-/

Amazon.co.uk and Play.com say that the game will be released on March 30th

HMV.com says the came will be released on August 1st

And thehut.com says it will be released on October 18th.

What gives?

[Bio Mech Hunter]

No. That's outdated info.

[shadowedge]

I really love it. The alien head is striking and the cover makes excellent use of negative space.

We've known about Bella for a while now and also there are female marines in the cinematic trailer.

I'm kind of on the fence about this cover. While I'm glad they went for something different the overall design feels very bland to me. There's no sense of tension or threat or dread. The marines in the cover are just walking down the hall with very neutral expressions and relaxed poses. Also blue and white are very calming colors.

The composition feels very uneven (too heavy on the left) and the monochromatic color scheme is making some of the details vanish (as seen with the weapons). There's also some weird perspective stuff going on with the inner jaw and the rest of the mouth. I actually preferred some of Xeno_kilelrs mock ups.

Then again this is just very nitpicky stuff.
