Sony shows off what the PlayStation 5's game boxart will look like

ohga34e.png

A new generation of gaming doesn't just mean new games to play--it also means a new generation of game boxes to put on your shelves. While it might not be much of a worthwhile tease, especially when fans are still waiting for the exact release date and the launch price of the PlayStation 5, nevertheless, Sony has shown off what you'll be seeing in stores when the PS5 eventually does release. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the first boxart from the system's library that we get to see. Just like the PlayStation 4, the successor console's games will come in a blue plastic box, with a white stripe at the top that features the PS5 logo. What do you think? Is it an improvement, will it look nice with the rest of your collection, or have you moved on to digital, and no longer care about video game boxes and their artwork?

They have to make the box art look good the game is now $70 to play it :ha:
They don't have to per se, but i thought people who make games actually care for that stuff. Wheres the enthusiasm, the energy, the artistic spirit to make the whole product complete, to make art to devote to it so everyone can feel it.
But seriously, they could have added AT LEAST a texture on that black background like a web texture or something idk...

Idk who is in charge of the whole box art thing but ever since PS4/Xbox One Gen the people are just plain lazy. We used to get posters and etc.. with games and nowadays we barely even get a manual I agree with you they need to put more effort into making decent designs for the box covers.

they ARE lazy. Just consider Portendo for example.
yeah itis a shame really, that's one big thing worth buying a game for me tbh! First thing i do when i buy i game is make a sandwich, sit and read the manual, examen the art and the little details they put into it and just enjoy :)

By the way....there, i fixed it a bit!

....Feeling better?
You know, I would actually be much happier if they went with that design. At least it gives it 'some' character.

I have a conspiracy theory that Sony is making box art for the PS5 look plain and generic so that people don't feel so jilted when they phase out physical games in the future. Let's see if Microsoft follows suit.
