    Can we at least all agree that they should definitely ditch the rubbish "Wii edition" subtitle?

    Too late Smilie

    It's in Times New Roman aswell, that makes me think they put almost no effort in putting it there.....

    I think the box looks pretty cool, the White goes well with the box colour.

    Well, at least it's a port of a good game at a decent price eh? No budget PS2 games for

    "wii edition" makes it seem more special rather than just a port

    Makes it seem crap. It now says 'Wii' twice on the front cover. It doesn't need to do that. Are Wii owners so thick that that need the format on the front-cover twice? Furthermore, the PS2 port had loads of extras, and wasn't lumbered with a rubbishy subtitle. Even further more, the word 'Wii' isn't entirely in-keeping with the, erm, tone of Resident Evil now, is it? Smilie

    Just a minor gripe, doesn't effect the game, I just think it ruins the box art a little, and sounds awful when you say it.

    I think it's a pretty shit piece of box art....and the wii edition text is just shocking.

    The Original GC (PAL) Box art is by far the best... The rest are all pretty crap in comparison, though I've also always wondered why the hell it was called '4 Resident Evil'...

    Eh, I dunno, I really like the cover on my PAL GC version. This reminds me a bit much of Coca-Cola Light, but still better than the American box-art I suppose.

    Why couldent they add anything new worth having? Mercinaries in multiplayer would be fun as it would feel more like survival horror with other people rather than "oh shit, baghead, no ammo *sob*". Plus an online mode where there are huge arenas would be fun.

    A co-op would be good, but I can't see how it would work as there are only certain sections with Louise and having him stay with you for the whole game would fuck up the storyline.

    Then again with this rather than dull knife fights consisting of pressing and hoping to dodge it, a combination of movements like Red Steel, except fun.

    I dont mind the name "Wii Edition" except it has no relevance to the game.

    I know it's always been fashionable to say how bad the US box art usually is compared to the Japanese or European ones but, to me, the US Resident Evil 4 cover is better because it tells you exactly what the game is going to do- you're going to be knee deep in enemies for a lot of the game. The European box art tries to be understated, moody and mysterious but there's there's nothing moody and mysterious about a maniac brandishing a chainsaw- it's just a moment of sheer terror and survival. The pinkish red of the US cover is also more pleasing than that blood red of the European cover. The European cover is cheap to me- mixing minimalism with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre sends out contradictory signals. It also concentrates on the enemy whereas the US cover rightfully places the hero, Leon, at the forefront of the action, fending off villains.

    Not really, I can just say I prefer box art showing motive and some thought rather than screens of charactors striking a cheesy pose, although there are a couple of cover where the US version looks better than the EU and JPN version, such as the american box of killer 7.

    I love the style of the new one personally, obviously the US versions looks crap, but with Wii version is the best, IMHO, better than the GC version.

    Might well pick this up.

    You dislike the totally unnecessary 'Wii edition' subtitle though, yeah?

    The man speaks the truth.
    EU

    US

    Slightly more stylish I'd say, though I've never really been a big fan of minimalist type stuff in general, which the EU one seems like to me

    Hey, can someone edit out the 'Wii edition' text in Photoshop? It'll be simple case of using the clone brush, as it's only two colours. I would do it, but I can't be arsed. I provided the raw materials on page one of this thread. Star to anyone who does.

    See!? That one little alteration makes it look loads better. The subtitle makes it look cheap. Looks more stylish without it. Star for you, my good man!

    Shaweet! although one thing has always bothered me.
    Why is the Four in front on resident evil? so it says 4 resident evil. I don't see why it is so dificult to add the four to the end.

    and if someone does bother to edit the picture its futile because you would naturally prefer the first one because you are used to seeing it like that.
