Bagarre d'art de boîte: Duel – Silent Hill: Souvenirs brisés

Hello everyone, et bienvenue dans une autre édition de Bagarre d'art de boîte!

Pour last week’s brawl, we took a look at the fantastic arcade first-person shooter Séparateurs de temps 2 for the GameCube. Largely regarded as one of the most influential games of its time, it’s safe to say that the box art for the game wasn’t entièrement inspiring. Néanmoins, Europe (or rather the UK specifically) won out comfortably, bringing in 83% du vote.

Cette semaine, we’re going to be getting spooky with the wonderful Silent Hill: Souvenirs brisés pour la Wii; it is Halloween tomorrow, après tout! The game launched back in 2009 and is generally considered the strongest entry in the series after the initial four titles from Team Silent (just so long as you don’t count the now defunct P.T demo). It made excellent use of the Wii Remote, allowing playered to shine a torch in whichever direction they saw fit, making for a surprisingly immersive experience.

The box art across all regions for this game was pretty similar, en tout, but we reckon the minor differences between the western and eastern designs will make for an interesting brawl this week. It’s Europe and North America Vs. Japan once again, so let’s get cracking!

Assurez-vous de voter dans le sondage ci-dessous; mais d'abord, vérifions les conceptions d'art de la boîte elles-mêmes.

Amérique du Nord / Europe

All regional designs for Shattered Memories feature the same basic image: a creepy girl sitting in a swing. For the western approach, cependant, the figure and swing are both adorned with icicles, indicating the seasonal weather we might be getting in the game. There are hints of some buildings in the background, along with an overall look of decay that looks pretty darn gnarly. The box itself is the standard white design for Wii games.

Japan

For the Japanese design, we’ve got the same girl sitting in a swing, but without the icicles found in the western design. Plutôt, we’ve got a more “Arceus était le numéro américain” indication of the snowy weather with snowflakes tumbling down along with icicles forming on the tree in the top left. It’s a darker image overall and this is accentuated further by the black Wii box, making this an incredibly effective design.

Merci d'avoir voté! Nous vous verrons la prochaine fois pour un autre tour du Box Art Brawl.
