Game Cover/Box Art?

[just*raidin*tomb]

I hope that there is no fancy gun pose of Lara that we have so many times:o I think a nice, simple shot of Lara's back would be nice, similiar (but different) than the Uncharted Cover...
http://www.killzoneunit.com/kz/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/uncharted_box-art425.jpg
...or something similar to Aod cover would be cool to.

Now i like the new logo, but i hope they make a better one before its over, because it just doesnt completely say TRU to me.;)

and I'd like the background to have some enemies in it, like Amanda and maybe some creatures from the underworld:D
------------------------------------------
What are your opinions on what the game cover should look like?

-Lara's pose
-Logo
-Background
etc.

Ps: Feel free to create your own box art and post it! :D

[jagged halo]

I think the cover should be dark because of the whole 'underworld' thing, but I agree that there should be no fancy gun pose because everyone knows that Lara shoots guns by now!

[Twilight]

a back pose would be nice for a Render only. if it resembeled another game cover, it would be an unimaginative rip off.
it should be dark, enticing, mysterious, and interesting at the first glance.

[Advent-Lara]

POSE - Lara should pose like she's aiming forward , with both guns. So when you grab it she looks at you. With a face similair to one of the WII renders :
http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/images/tombraideranniversary_wii_renders/screen002.jpg

Background : Some Mayan artwork ( and perhaps a glimpse of a few characters)

Colors : Green , purple , brown and black...the coulers that make me think of legend...

The tomb raider logo , the outside things should look a bit like something magical...Like uuuhm...the green stuff off the Exalibur y' know?

[b2l]

ok now I think that we are talking too much about uncharted lol... in all the post I read somewhere uncharted, like uncharted... I want CD to squeeze their brains and give me some original game cover and nothing like we saw alredy before.Oh i almost forgot, the cover should have that tomb raider feeling that makes you happy and say this is going to be a great game lol

(* Braces himself for oncoming pelting of tomatoes*)

Maybe, for once, the cover shouldn't have lara on the front?
But definitely on the back.

I mean, it would be really atmospheric just to have the Logo and
maybe some spooky Underworld arcitecture??

[just*raidin*tomb]

In the first post i changed it to 'similar' instead of 'much like', because i think that CD should be more original too:D

[MadCroy101]

I want AOD style, Lara standing alone, darkness....death.

Doesn't matter... I just thought you should know... :D

[Lara Croft Fan Joe]

I'd like a cover where there its lots going on, but Lara is clearly the focal point. I loved AOD's cover because it was so artistic and dark, in keeping with the game itself, so I think Underworlds cover (I'm assuming its going to be darker than Legend) should give off this vibe too.

[Tear]

Dark, similar to AOD, with some creepy atmosphere in the backround. Oh, and just for kicks, they should have a shiny box, like AOD and Anniversary.:D

[ThomasCroft]

I hated the Anniversary cover.

The Underworld cover needs atmosphere. It needs to show environment and location.

... And, of course, Lara with a serious, hard look and posture.

[Evan C.]

I don`t like Lara on the Cover.Come on,when you read Tomb Raider the first that you think is Lara Croft,she doesn`t need to be on the cover.I`d like to see her backpack or the duals lying on the floor of the jungle or something original.But,the important is the game itself,so do it like their do it,i really don`t care too much.But,something diferent would be cool.:D

[b2l]

I think that the cover must show the graphic improvements and maybe lara in action but when I mean action is not just shooting I mean grabbing some relic , or with a new move so it shows more the tomb raider feeling, the adventure side and not just the action...

[Lara's home]

I liked AoD's.
But I also liked Angels suggestion.
Just no cute Lara, like in TRL/TRA please. She looks way to sweet. Especially TR:A. :(

She is amazing on that pic,but im shure that we will se better in a few days :D

[gtkilla]

Nice work, guys! :tmb:

I hope the box art isn't as plain and bland as the classics or TR:L & A. They should do something new, exciting and eye-catching.

I think LCFJ has a pretty good idea of what I want as well. :tmb:

ugh, i depise this one. she reminds me of Ariel from The Little Mermaid. wide eyed, naive, and pretty-pretty.

she's suppose to look unique and striking not like every other character with a gun.

[Evan C.]

She will be a bad-ass on this game,i think.....(and i love it):D

[gtkilla]

I think that's the look they were going for when they made it. Lara's supposed to be naive and inexperienced because this was her first real adventure.

[Twilight]

She Killed Big Foot.
she's done something like this before. it was new, but she's not That ignorant. she can look curious and less experienced without looking wide eyed and naive.

[gtkilla]

She killed big foot, wow. That's way bigger than what she went through in TR1/A. :rolleyes: So she killed a monster, big freakin' deal. Lara's never done anything this big before, so she's supposed to look naive and inexperienced.

And she doesn't look wide-eyed, IMO.

[Angelus]

Wide eyed? :confused:

She doesn't look wide eyed in the Anniversary cover at all.

she still did something. and in TR1 she didnt look naive/inexperienced, just look in the beginning FMV.

[ACSSNK]

I hated TRA Cover, it was the badest of all :hea::hea::hea:
LEGEND was nice, she looked alluringly dangerous :D

Yeah, I know. o_o

That's because she was a seasoned adventurer in TR1. She was 29 in that game, it wasn't her first solo outing.

I don't have any special wishes about box art ATM.

Didn't TR1 Lara have...two facial expressions? You never even saw her face fully in the opening FMV (unless you mean the start of Mountain Caves).

[knutroald]

I posted this in the fan art section not to long ago, I want something like this as box art for TRU. Something that in a way resembles Legend's only darker:)

[Lara Croft Fan Joe]

They all look great, but it doesnt help that I hate the game logo in every way, shape and form :(

[Encore]

I'm sorry to say this but all Legend and Anniversary covers are pathetic, she looks so happy and sweet and AWWWWW :hug:

:mad:

I want the next cover to feature a bad ass Lara again like in AoD or at least a more serious looking one like TR1 or 3 (I didn't like the cover for TR2 either).
The "explorer" look of the TR4 cover is also a cool idea.

[b2l]

all those covers looks great! congratulations ! , but to me the main focus it must be exploration. not how dark she is, or anything else

[Vertigo]

I want cover like this http://keep4u.ru/imgs/b/080103/e7/e79be5f231a0660ebd.jpg becoz one look and you can say "This IS Tomb Raider"! Lara is explorer, not model. I hate Legend cover, it reminds me pop singer`s album cover!

[Encore]

I agree with you Vertigo, that's exactly what I mean (but apparently I phrased it in a way that was too agressive for a certain sensitive member)

[tranniversary119]

Love that cover veritgo! I agree we need something that looks Tomb Raiderish!

[jeremyANDROGYNY]

I like the idea of having the first released Underworld photo as the cover. The picture from the cover of her in PLAY magazine. That would be spectacular.

[Wicked]

I agree, jeremyANDROGYNY!
This Cover kicks ass :cln:

[Legends]

I don't know yet. I need to see more pictures of the game.

thease 2 people made awsome cover but i want the two to make one!

I don't want a close up on her face like the one on legend.Like someone else said it looked like a cheap cd cover of a pop singer.
