So Irrational is going to use a reversible cover for Bioshock Infinite and has a poll set up for people to vote on which cover will be used. There are also going to be printable covers available at launch. Pretty cool idea in my opinion. I hate the regular cover art, it's so generic and bland.

Reversible cover better have the 360 stripes. And Jesus Christ is the actual cover horrible. Thanks quasi homo-blam!- bro culture that questions their -blam!-ity if they see a woman on a game they're playing.

The ad firm for The Last of US wanted Ellie off the front cover. Thankfully Naughty Dog told them to -blam!- right off.

#3 and #5 are good, but the protagonist-striking-a-dramatic-pose cover art is massively overused, so I'm leaning towards #4.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

No point in putting something funny, clever or informative here. Most probably im going to get perma-banned anyway.

Not surprising considering the morons who fliped out over the cover. I voted 4 because that one looks badass. But good to hear they arent going to get rid of the original cover, good for Irrational.

"WHAAAAAA!!! WHY ARE PEOPLE VOICING THEIR OPINIONS? WHAAAAA!!! SHUCH IDIOTS FOR NOT LICKING THE GOUND THAT DEVELOPERS WALK ON. WHAAAA!!!"


Yeah, no. I didn't even complain about the cover, but if you honestly think that someone is an idiot for getting off their butt and actually doing something, than you are definitely below them.

Glad to know everyone who didn't like it is a moron. It's easy to see why people were disappointed with the original cover, it's got a guy with a gun with a blue and orange color scheme. It's not original and considering the source, they could do something much better and more creative.

These alternate covers they come up with all look better than the original one. Except for maybe 1 considering how plain it is.

The developer admitted going to frat parties and finding "actual gamers. You know, these people buy 2-3 games a year!"

They asked these "gamers" what they though of bioshock, and NONE of them even heard of the game.

They showed them the cover of bioshock 1 and 2, and asked them if its something they would play, they said no.

So they made a mockup cover for Bioshock infinite that is heavily Call of Duty inspired, and suddenly all the frat boys said they wanted to play the game.

Really? I wouldn't call any of them original. It's very difficult to make an original cover design.

Everything wrong with video game marketing. It's generic bro -blam!- to arouse bros from putting down their Doritos and Mountain Dew to pick up Bioshock. Elizabeth is kept off the box, of course, because she's a woman and seeing women on a video game cover is offensive. It's like the target audience is for Middle Eastern newspaper readers who have to have women photoshopped out of pictures.

There's a movement to get females off videogame covers? Dafuq?

Just today it came out that Naughty Dog was asked to remove Ellie from The Last of Us cover. Thankfully they refused. Corporate marketers and your publishers intent on focus testing games don't want women on the cover of their games. Women are bad.

Look at all your games. How many have women on the cover? In any capacity? Out of the almost 50 Xbox 360 games I own four have women on the cover. Only one, Mirror's Edge, puts a woman front and centre.

Yep very few games actually have women on the cover. Since most women are not the main characters or all that relevant to the story.
