It's so...unusual. If they want something that will stand out on a shelf full of game covers with gruff lookin' dudes being badass, this is it. I've got to admit I like it.
That's pretty badass.
On a related note, I finally booted up Resistance 2 the other night (after my 360 red ringed), and I'm happy to say that it's WAY better than the first so far. I understand people who were disappointed by the lack of weapon choice, but the gameplay and story sucked me in in a way that Fall of Man never accomplished.
So yeah. It's nice to finally be able to say that I'm excited for Resistance 3.

Whhhat!? Awesome!! Why do I get so fucking excited about games!? Hah anyways I loved all the resistance games and from what I have seen so far insomniac has another winner on their hands.
WTF is up with this site today? Can't post comments on the c-blogs and now I had to re-load this page a few times to get the comment box to show up... and what I see is the story at the top... a bunch of unrelated stories taking up space...some info about Jim (which I like)... a bunch more stories... then a huge long blank white space before finally seeing the comment box.
Honestly, it seems that you almost don't want people participating on the site today! (especially since with that grey text I can't read the comments of others without eyestrain anyway).
Really... fix shit!! I'm a gonna just go and do something else, this is too frustrating!
Oh.. and on topic... LOVE the box art and can't wait for R3!!

If this game is very similar to the 1st 2, I don't think ill have much trouble resist(har har)-ing picking up a copy.I wanted to like them, I really did, but aside from some neat secondary weapon uses they just felt too plain vanilla to me
@salamagogo I think the first resistance actually tried to be something different. The second one tried to be just like everything else. (I did like the second one more though, it felt more fun to me). But from what they have shown of r3 it looks like they are trying to be different again. :)
@Elsa
Can't post? I can't even see the comments on the c-blogs.
As for front page, I use my phone, so I have no idea what the heck that's about.
On topic, this is one of the best box arts I've ever seen! I really wish that "playstation move compatible" logo would go away though.

Also agreed with the move logo. If anything it should just be one of those small logos at the bottom or back of the box.
That looks like a box art i would want everyone in my house to see, instead of the normal "guy looking serious at you while crap goes on in the background*. On that note, i fucking hate sony, move and 3D because it clogs up the amazing box art!!!!!!!!! D:
I agree. It's simplistic and tasteful. The orange background is a bold choice, but I think it gives the cover a retro feel and helps it stands out on the shelves.
Most US cover art feature the close up of the main characters. Whereas the minimalist style is used more for collector's edition. I personally like the latter style better.

Now hopefully the game is good, seeing as how the first two were pretty mediocre.
And seriously, logos ruin good boxart. Do we really need to be reminded that games have PSN/XBL support? Or who developed it? Just throw it on the back, the boxart is designed to sell the game, and a billion logos make the front look extremely busy which causes people to not look at it the same way.
Move should take a page from Kinect compatible (not required) games and just have a small bar that has a picture of what is required or compatible. Instead we get a giant blue semicircle that screams PLAYSTATION MOVE OMG THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD PLAY EVERYTHING EVER.

@renegade
The kinect support bar isn't that much smaller(but much more rare) and it goes ALL the way across. Plus xb360 boxes are larger.
And the first two were great games to quite a few people. Still two of my favorite shooters of this generation. Their actually unique.

Holy shit, finally. I've wanted a game to have a cover that strayed from the boring formula for quite a while..
@ricochetguro
The Kinect purple bar is far less distracting than a giant blue circle. It's 2% vs 10% coverage, and its far more in your face than either of the Kinect logos. While that may be why most people don't immediately know what games are Kinect compatible, it's more attractive for those of us who don't give a sh*t.
And I know a lot of people liked Resistance, but a lot hated it too. I'm in the latter, but then again Halo inspired the same reaction and I enjoy it. Resistance just lacks polish (opinion) and never really did anything to impress me. It had reasonably solid gameplay, but everything else just didn't interest me.
That said, I'll probably give R3 a try, just to see what they do with it.

That is very nice. The first was a good rental, as was the second. Might actually buy this one, what I've read of the ai intrigues me. I love dynamic ai.
That is sexy! If they have Co-op like Resistance 2 did then my boner will become unstoppable.

Even as a fan of the first 2 games I was having a hard time getting excited about 3. I get a little hornier everytime something new appears though.
I wish this game was set in Europe like the first one. Too many games are already set in New York or a New York analogue. I'd take Rome or Berlin over NY as a game environment any day.
This box art is terrific. There's nothing I hate more than floating heads. I like my DVD, book and game covers, posters etc to be more emblematic and meaningful – I don't want to see the main character's grimacing mug plastered across the front. Landscapes or environments are good too, especially for books, but you don't see them on game covers too often.
Olly moss does a regular section in empire film magazine where he does alternative posters for movies
Im really pleased he got to do something like this

Oh, as far as box art goes, ico's japanese cover is one of the best I've seen, it really conveys Ueda's theme of feeling small and relatively insignificant in his games...but the english/PAL cover..ugh, gag me with a spoon
Cool, BUT... it's been done before. Behold the Polish poster for Crocodile Dundee II: http://www.polishposter.com/images/2130.jpg
Fuck, now I have to buy this. I've been meaning to get into this series. So, one is good but two is crappy (singleplayer wise), correct?
I thought it was good until I saw the title across the forehead. Terrible place to put that. I love the minimalistic approach, propaganda style, and the NYC skyline cleverly hidden away in the teeth, but this cover would look so much better if the title were at the bottom or the skull were smaller so the title could be placed up top. I think the third image with the crossed rifles is pretty badass, though. I'd like that on a Tshirt.
I agree with Elsa
On topic this is some sexy and creative box art, it would look better without that ugly move logo though it makes the colors clash
