definetely the original one...
But neither of them resemble anything you can remotely recognise...
No high skyscrapers, nor cool-looking armour :(

Personally hate the release one - had had it not been recommended by a mate wouldnt of picked it up from shelf
The original looks like a decent half life clone and the release looks like somthing you'd find in a bargain section....which is exactly where i got it. :D

Yeah me to, only got it b/c a matre works at Game (EB) and bought it on the day it was released and i got it the day after. Saw it lying in HMV (shoch shock horror horror) last saturday and it so didn't look up to the standards of most games.
The old one looks kinda kewlish... Cant wait to see the new one :)

It would be nice if the apartments which are described as having a view over the city actually had that view of the city. As opposed to most Plaza Apts which give you a magnificent view of the building across the street o_O

Heh, I used to live in a house that was like that, it was on a tiny courtyard so all the windows looked out onto the houses on the other side (which were even taller, you couldn't see the sky)
Since then, I always try and get a nice view out my window... I had the sea and cliffs in my last house - hooray!
Seriously tho, at least for Via Rosso apts they could knock up a nice matte of the city, possible even just with that graphic from the box, for you to see out the window. Would be a lot more atmospheric than the pinkish fog...

Yes, I only wish I looked like that/had a gf like that. :D
When Rowan was releasing MiG Alley, they had a poll on their site to vote for which box design to use. And of course, the lovely Red Alert 2 box which was pulled because a burning New York skyline was a bit tasteless.
I don't believe the 'You'll never die alone' comment on the back for a mnute though, most of the time I die and PPUs never find me!

It would be nice if they actually posted their ideas for the cover design on the forums, so that the players could look at them and decide...
We ARE the target buyers, so why not actually let us decide what looks col and we would want to buy if we saw it?
lol MJS looks kinda Cyberpunkish, a bit like a PE :p

Wow nice artwork Martin, it seems like you guys have all your bases covered for BDoY.
original artwork for neocron ;)
My vote for mjs on the cover of nc:bdoy. He looks like one of those pe's running around already.
/edit. checking out what this jan meininghaus has done for other works.

Hm....quite a nice cover i might say...
But still if we put ur face on the box MJS we might even get some REAL chicks to play the game :)
+ It Demands Attention.
+ It appears post appocaliptic which will attract a number of P.A. fans to the game.
+ There is an emotional responce of awe when looking at it. The old one had an emotional responce of MEH!
- Unless your changing the Wastelands outside the city, people are going to be disapointed when they get out there.
Overall this Box Art is some of the Best Box art I have seen for a computer game. It's raw, Awe, and fucking amazing. It serves it's perpose, there is no way it will be ignored in a Video Games shop. Overall rating: 91%
:p
http://www.jan-meininghaus.de/neocron-gross.jpg
*edit*
As someone who went to graphics design collage for 2 months, (:p) I reccomend you keep the front cover writing absolutely minimal. You want people to pick it up, if they want writing they must be forced to look at the back which demands intrest. Something minimal like this.
Printed at the top near the dark coulds, and that would be all the writing for the entire front of the box.

martin you can't have a guy holding an m14 assault rifle on the box cover, why on earth would you have an m14 when theres nothing that even looks remotely like an m14 in Neocron?
Maybe you guys could hire Todd Mcfarlane, he's a very good artist and could probably draw something very appropriate for neocron. Or maybe you should have something very simple like just an http://neocron.jafc.de/images/vb_bullet.gif sort of like FFXI. Or maybe a picture showing a couple of the classes standing side by side. I just think that by using the current box illustration that not only does it make the image appear to be from a different time period, but it dosen't show a whole lot about the game. Most people I think would generally perfer to look at a game capture than an unrealistic illustration.
Sort of like that, very simple but still gets attention. Or maybe you should put a callage (sp?) together sort of like GTA.
http://www.digitaldeninc.com/ebay/images/Playstation2%20Grand%20theft%20auto%203.jpg
Or maybe something like Jedi Academys box, or Unreal II...

Serve r u kiddin? i luv the bdoy box!
You argument that it doesn't relate to the game is what made KK not use the orrigional box cover in the first place! And just look at the poll results. You can see that it was clearly a mistake. If they abandon this (http://www.jan-meininghaus.de/neocron-gross.jpg) and replace it with ANYTHING like you suggested, it would be a mistake.

Actually the first NC cover (the one with the city scape) was done by us, while the comic-style artwork came from CDV. And since they had the power to push through their artwork, we had to go with their cover. :(

Look, marty, you know that photoshopped image of 2 gentanks and a rhino outside seger(?) You should adapt that on the box, The gentank PA imo looks awesome and those are ingame graphics that are also impressive even though their photoshopped but its for a box cover anyhow :D

I Disagree.
And i don't think they where photoshopped. *edit* That screenshot is tiny! That means the resolution is practically increased by about X10. It's not photoshopped, smaller images just look better because of the resolution change.

[ edited for violation of the forum rules - flaming ]
Dude get the file, open it up in any fucking art package and look at it closely, theres so many changes to it that a graphics master like you would notice :rolleyes: Theres sharpening all over it, the detail has been defined etc, it _is_ a shrunk ingame screenie from like 1800 x xxxx resolution down to 640x480 or something like that aswell
This is a further shrunk down version
Think about it

Yeah, the Texture of the wastelands used to look exactly like that, but it was lowered down considerable for some reason.
And the PA looks like it does for me in game.
Hell, it might be photoshopped. What 3D card are you rrunning Neocron on? I'm using a High End Gforce 3 128mb
PS I still resent you patronising me.

Do you mean this one?? (http://www.neocron.com/modules/NeoContent/images/Fullscreens/Wastelands_02.jpg) Thats exactly what my version of Neocron looks like. If they have photoshopped it, then they did a pretty crappy job of it. :confused: *edit* no not that one. It's not on the webpage, looking for it....*
i mean this one
http://www2.fileplanet.com/images/120000/123034ss.jpg
Look at the detail on the rhino, the tree's, the tank's PA, The actual SHADOW from the lightsource showing up on the tanks PA from their arms and the weapon, if thats not edited then they really aughta put that kinda detail back into the game coz on max settings it sure aint like that ngame, nearly but not with the shadows etc

lol, well im on a FX5600 ultra 128 mb, ive got 2gb of ram, I run NC on full detail, vegetation included just about everywhere other than when trying to find the gravis swampcaves. I have all settings whacked up, on my screen rhino certainly doesent have detail that sharp, theres definitely not any shadowing like that on the body of a tank from their arm due to the light source, The rhino has lights, wheres the lights in that one ? As in wheres the beams from the lights. IMO although it _is_ a ingame screenshot, its defo been enhanced sharpened and edited
Yeah. Shadow looks edited. Sorry i doubted you.
Though the wastelands texture really did look a lot better when I first saw it. Just like it does in the screenshot.
hell i wish tanks and rhinos looked like that for me
niiiiceeee
oh also i dont like the proposed cover for DoY, i wouldnt pick that up off the shelf it looks old and outdated, worse than the release one imo.. or id think it was some kind of stupid games workshop game

eh ? The ground looks like that for me O_o Does it kinda look like a blurred mess on the ground for you ? I used to get that on some of the older nvidia drivers i used but after playing around with the latter detonators it cleared up those problems and the grounds textured

yea i know, but hell, its a good representation to the game imo, and would suit the front of a box with some extra stuff on there :)
http://www2.fileplanet.com/images/120000/123034ss.jpg
That thing has to go on the box someplace (again, a bit bigg0r plz) , It promises :
-Huge Guns
-Big armor
-Vehicles with big guns
-1337 Looking atmosphere
*and yes, the game should look like this, though im assuming the tanks and the tank are renders (cause of the shading) though the backdrop does appear right out of the game*
Soulblade, that screeny is photoshopped, it used to be in the neocron site, but was removed because it wasnt a real in game screeny iirc and theres no monks on the screeny so its not a true reprasentation

Can I suggest you change the weapon to look less like the M4a1 rifle many gamers know. Th reality is the game doesnt have anything that looks remotely like it. Also the runner carrying it could be best discribed as monk like yet a monk with an assault rifle doesnt really work.
Dont get me wrong I love that image but make the person on the cover someoe a player could asspire to be rather than just a cool image.

CDV onoz :/
honestly if you put stuff that was in game on the front cover it might look a lot cooler.
Possibly like a monk in pa, tank in pa, pe in pa, spy in pa all with l33t looking rare weapons drawn out and like a blend of neocron and dome of york in the background.
Tho, ya can't judge a book by it's cover... guess the same goes for video games. Either way the game will be l33t
That screenie isn't photoshopped..... It's prerendered :)

That DoY Artwork is seriously cool, it'll appeal to the Fallout fans if anything (it looks just like some of the loading screens) although what the black helicopters from South Park are doing, or what the heck that attachment below the barrel of his M4 are we may never know.
So? Is that like the bright lights of Neocr0n this nib is seeing off in the distance? Any chance of putting that kinda 'city in the distance' effect in for the game itself (as discussed in a nearby thread)? Why are all the flying cars in Plaza 1 badly wedged INSIDE the wall of the Diamond Office? And is that in fact T'leth rising out of the Gulf of Mexico 800 years too late to terraform the planet?

If kk wanted to make the Box Represent Neocron, why don't they just take a picture of a Windows 2000 Desktop and a "Fatal Runtime Error" window?
The box art is sweet as beans. I would be all up for them editing the Gun and Helecopters out, but if they don't then they should still use that box art.
metalangel
26-01-04, 00:43

Truthful NC cover art:
30 monks sexxing a pile of dead bodies.
A big swirling CS with a 5/6 n00b in its sights
"Synchronizing"
"Fatal Runtime Error"
Standing in Plaza 1 trying to LoM away 150 points of Rifle Combat
A big screenie of the Trade Channel after a pker raid
Actually-want-to-sell-the-game cover art:
The vehicles
The Tanks in PA by the Rhino
The skyline
An impossibly huge-breasted PE practically falling out of her tiny bikini top while tentacles reach for her (thus reaching both the everquest and hentai crowd)
Dunno, how else do you convey nuclear wasteland, huge future city and violence in a single pic OTHER THAN the art they've already picked?

MJS I feel sorry for you. Seen the crap shit NC intro on CDV homepage just make me puke and I dont really wanna look at a game that looks SO CRAPPISH!!!!!
But I know better, played it for 1 year and still its TEH best FPSMMORPG ever made, looks so nice "if you turn all settings up :D"
But sadly money talks and its so true to bad there are probly 46 - 55 year old grumpy guys that says what to chose that have no clue what they want. Just show the 2 cardbox pictures to a audience and see what they want "real life marketing investigation"
I just HATE CDV :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :(

The release one depresses me though because you can't play a chick that looks that hot. :(
they need to stick a tank in PA with his swirly out on the front
that will sell the game:D
Q`alooaith
29-01-04, 13:43
well maybe a line up with each class and their PA's...
So you'd get..
APU(PA) Heavy Tank(PA) Rifle Spy (PA) Rifle PE (PA)
Pistol PE (PA) Pistol spy (PA) Melee tank (PA) PPU (PA)
Then a rabble of mostly PE's spy's tank's and monk's at the fron some crouching all holding weapons, male and female....
Master the mind, Psi monk's weild the power of their mind's to harm or heal..
Become enhanced, Gentank's, the ulimate fighting machines strong and resiliant, ture warriors..
Watch from the shadows, Spys, the ulimate sneaker's, both smart and skilled with their hands..
Do it all, PE's are the jack or all trades, though master of none, skilled in many area's and knowing when to use these skill's are your best weapon...
Anyone like the idea..
nope i like the idea of just the tank but mehhh thats just me i guess.
would be good to have the classes shown rather than things that dont even remotly resemble anything in the game
Dont show any ingame stuff, its not neat enuff. Do a simplistic
design with just the concept art or better yet just a solid with the
logo on.. altho thatd look a lil too much like halflife I guess.

logo on.. altho thatd look a lil too much like halflife I guess. aint meaning a in game shot but more a image that portrays something within the game(my tank is avalible for modeling shots if needed;) ) but the shot they chose and the one MJS is having for DOY, nither of them resemble the game in any way tbh
imo itd be better to draw the post apocalyptic fans with the pic
mjs shows than to show off some retouched tanks. And honestly
since when did boxes have to show whats actually inside the
game, thats new to me o_O

Yeah, but you do
know you don't
have to press
enter to make
everything fit into
a neet little box?
;) Still I have to
admit. It does look
kinda sexy.
In my opinion kk
should just use
the picture martin
just linked to in this
thread, however
they should edit
the gun and the
helicopters out,
and replace the
gun with a Pumpgun
(easily recconaisable,
plus it's in the game)
and replace the
helecopters with
the gliders thingys.
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I just find it alot easier to read mmkay hunney :p with high
resolution its damn annoying to read if you dont add your own
linebreaks and if you have low resolution it shouldnt be a biggie
anyway *shrug*

Your just adding the line break's so it don't look like you've just done a very small ammount of text, hell I used to do the same trick when doing schoolwork on computers, add a line break here and there, hey presto instantly it look's like a solid bit of writing..
I still like my idea of showing off each of the PA's and all the classes in a sorta motly muddle, maybe as a shot for the back of the bax with a little phrase to desribe each class, and how they are the bestest class of the game, ignoring their weaknesses..
But that's just me.

Thanks for telling me why I do things. But no, I realised that
when parad0x was writing it was alot easier to read so I started
doing the same thing, easy as that.

Your welcome, most people don't seam to understand that you realy can do thing's for a reason that you yourself can not see..
Like I almost alway's put three . at the end of a line when I'm doing a ramble, I'm almost certain it's due to reading comic book's and the like where there's the "To be coninuted..." but other than that I'd not a clue..
In fact I find it quite anoying, I have my screen res set this way, and my IE window this big so I can tell how much meat there is to read..
Hell I can understand at the end of a sentence, though in the middle just pisses me off, you've got your screen ress set how you like it, I've got mine how I like it, but the way you form your post's negate's my prefrences..
Rather selfish of you, don't you think.
Im truelly deeply sorry for all the inconvinience I may have cause
you with my formating. I might have problems getting some sleep
tonight.

esp since you made a typo because of your formating and probably didn't see it because of same said formating..

Even the MJS picture is terrible, It has zero relivance to the game.
Now everquest box art is shit.
DAoC's box art is shit.
Neocrons is shit.
All online games box arts are shit, You know why? Cos they are making them appeal to the geeky nature that went out about 500years ago yet they havnt realised it yet.
CDV's advertising campaign was terrible and the cover looked like it was from 1990 - Hence why there almost bankrupt!
Lets see some good graphics designers involved.

That thing has to go on the box someplace (again, a bit bigg0r plz) , It promises :
-Huge Guns
-Big armor
-Vehicles with big guns
-1337 Looking atmosphere
*and yes, the game should look like this, though im assuming the tanks and the tank are renders (cause of the shading) though the backdrop does appear right out of the game*
This is the picture that made me buy the game....sniff sniff how wrong i was about the gfx :(
anyone knows tits sell but i prefer the first box even though it looks like sim city after armageddon

ewww....
I JUST saw what MJS plans to put on the BDOY box.
Thats kinda lame if you ask me.
and btw, WHY CANT I HAVE AN ASSAULT RIFLE LIKE THAT!?!?!?!?
that kind of image would only compel me to look at the box just because of the goofey image.
Maybe thats what hes going for? O.o

Puh-leeeeze MJS :( rather choose something more media sexy art. That's just a concept art. The cover must be better than that. No offense. That's a good picture and all but wont work as a cover for anything.
And I'm not just an ordinary random George trying to push you around with stupid advices. I'm a freelancer media-artists. I make posters, logos, cd-covers etc. Just trust me on this one. The original cover of Neocron would work ALOT better for example. I'm not saying use the old one. I'm just saying that a nice picture or piece of art doesn't mean it works in every situation.
I'd guess that image isn't quite final. Anyway, I like it, though I also don't see what's wrong with the release cover.
