Subject: Did anybody ever notice these box art similarities?

I was looking at my video game boxes the other day and I noticed some things

Now, I'm not really accusing anyone here but it would make sense for a video game company to create a box art inspired by one of the most influential games ever. It definitely holds potential to promote the game by creating a nostalgic feeling for those who played CE a lot and loved it.

What do you think? Do you think this was purposeful? It was somebodies job to create that box art and they are professionals who have undoubtedly seen the Halo CE box art.

They're might be some similarities between those box arts, but overall they are completely different.

That's pretty funny.

But it's just kinda the same style of box art. Though it is kinda creepy.

I never thought about it before but now that you mention it... this makes it a little creepier.

Didn't you hear? It's a new fad for game's of the year to have similar box art. Lol. Silly Goose.

It's a manner of including elements of the game within the cover art. Just like ODST didnt include the squad, only the Rookie because they wanted to give you a feel a more vulnerable feel to the game (hence the dark colors and rainy city backdrop.)

You make some good points, but they both hold their gun like soldiers (don't go there.), and the focal point is the person in the middle. In short, listen to UberHumphrey.

Graphic Designers...I tell ya, we talk too much.

very very similar

What's this? Multiple, disparate, unrelated developers using similar positions for characters/vehicles in entirely different roles and situations, just because it looks cool?

Must be copying!
