I don't really like it either.

Something dark and foreboding (and submerged) would have been better, IMO.

I really don't care as long as it's in my grubby little hands ASAP.

Well, no matter what it looks like, I will buy it anyway.

But I still don't like it too much.

Sorry, I was a little slow on the draw today.

Yep, I think a very, very, very dark green (almost black) background with a kind of watery texture and then simply the view of a nice Japanese warship in the scope in the center and the Silent Hunter 4 banner at the top.

Like many here though, they could package this game in a mound of human faeces and not only would I still buy it, I'd dig through the steaming pile with my bare hands and then lick the DVD clean.

Well maybe I wouldn't quite go that far...

I'd happily extract it with chopsticks and then just wipe it down with a cloth though.:p

Nice movie! Looks very promising!

Except I really don't like the interface down left. Looks very 1996. I hoped they'd retain the SH3 buttons. Those have style

Agreed

I bought SH3 in March 2005. I took it out of the box and put it in my DVD tray. I haven't looked at the box art since.

Thanks for the link, Neal. It's looking better and better.

Yes, those are soldiers, in field pack and full combat gear. It looks like an insertion mission. I hope it's in the game and not just there to make us drool.

As for the interface, it doesn't look so bad, just a little different. I'm sure it will be no time at all before modders have turned them all into slideouts, and FLBSale U-999 has made another big-dial "simfeeling mod".

Big apology to the arts department, but the box arts looks way too arcade-ish and even pretty generic. A mysterious, spooky atmosphere would've been better for it, ask you me.

But it still is one of the first impressions of many people. Box art does matter.
