ATTENTION PEOPLE WHO OWN ANY PHYSICAL COPIES OF ANY RECENT VIDEO GAMES

Ever look at the cover art of your case and think “wow this looks super generic and uninspired”?

I’ll use Doom as an examlpe:

FANTASTIC game. SHITTY cover art. Looks like a cod clone.

A lot of games suffer from this,

HOWEVER

recently I’ve noticed that many games have a little secret inside the box…

You see, on the inside, when you open the case, some of these titles will have an alternate box art!

Simply open the case, *carefully* pull out the paper…

And on the other side…

:O

Now doesn’t that look like a much better representation of what playing DOOM is like!?!? The best part is theres no mountain of text on the back, the art just keeps going!

Best DOOM cover ever.

Other examples include Final Fantasy XV, The Last of Us, The Evil Within, Fallout 4, etc.

Not all of my games had this, but the ones that did had such cool art. I love the lack of “advertising text” on the back. Some of the alternate box art just paints a scene from the game so well you dont even need the title to know what it is.

Reblog to save a life! You might have some badass alternate box art in your games and you just never knew it :D
