If you really look at this box art and think about it you will find it matches the themes perfectly. This is a series that is about this kind of man, the hero of the Gilded Age. It is like they mixed Teddy Roosevelt, Carnegie and John Galt and this is what we are left with. Am I really the only one that sees how perfectly this box art fits with this series?
Look at the subtext. It is screaming at you.
The thing is, it's NOT just about the main character's gun rampage throughout a beautiful game environment. It should be a picture of the city itself or something, not some square-jawed cowboy. Something about it irks me.
How do you know it isn't?
It
is a First Person SHOOTER. The trailers focus a heck of a lot on the combat.
Sorry, but the city premise itself... it's a little goofy when you sum it up in just one frame. A flying city like Columbia is something you have to live in to accept, not just have "huh, flying city, probably a JRPG".
Captcha: Believe Me
It's a shooter, yes, but it doesn't have to adopt that same generic style. And it does not focus on the player character so much - at least, the first Bioshock didn't. It was more concerned with the
environment- the wacky, insane inhabitants of the beautiful city called Rapture. Exploration and combat in equal measures.
Much better box art concept, Bioshock Infinite should have something similar. It wouldn't be "goofy" at all. And people who think that probably wouldn't or shouldn't buy the game anyway.
