I'm not defending its crappiness - it looks cheesy as hell, and not in a good way like the above picture - just that I don't think the artist sat back and thought "now that's a photorealistic dinosaur!"

The back art is cheesy at best, but I love the front. Good thing I don't display the backs of my steels.

I'm just saying it's technically computer generated imagery, aka CGI

..I think it looks more videogame-ish than anything. Kind of like what you see in the JP game from Telltale Games

I think I'll pass on this one.
I no longer get catalogue titles in steelbooks.

Maybe it's not evident on the little product image but look at this nonsense:

That was a lenticular poster too, so while it was goofy looking, it did have a 3D effect. I agree that it looks dumb, but it wouldn't be so bad if they made the back cover lenticular too.

DarkEco910 · 02-12-2015, 10:22 PM

Wow...so disappointing. The entire lot. Easy pass.

truejameslennox · 02-13-2015, 04:54 AM

Hahahaha it's a terrible design! The best is the JB Hi-Fi one.

thewerepuppygrr · 02-13-2015, 02:24 PM

I quite like it. I don't like the way the title is positioned on the old JB hi-fi one. I'm not a big fan of the back art but, like someone already said, I don't display the back art, so I'll get over it. Wonder when these will go live...tomorrow? I expect they'll be staggered releases like the Pirates films were.

Bruisermoore · 02-13-2015, 04:24 PM

So.....over at HDN they're reporting that HDZeta will be releasing these as a "Only at HDZeta" (or whatever they call it) exclusive with potential swag and lenti slips over these same steelbooks. I'm sure they'll also have some sort of fancy tri-pack as well.

I just got back, and they are all full!

Brother_Dobby · 02-14-2015, 10:27 AM

I don't even think anybody's noticed that the 3D disc isn't included. Everyone seems to be just complaining about the cover art.

Pass.

Nightopian · 02-14-2015, 10:38 AM

Damn, I'm spewing I missed the JB-Hifi one...that looks awesome!

JP is the shit...

fuzzymctiger · 02-14-2015, 11:21 AM

I'm all over this, when does the preorder go up for sale?

Have they gone back to 6pm for Sunday releases? It's been around mid-day for a while now...
