- JustinHopewell, on 07/22/2008, -0/+112Really should have used the left hand.
- Mongoose, on 07/22/2008, -2/+43That's what she said.
- FurtThePirate, on 07/21/2008, -2/+37I almost didn't get the pun...
- Thater, on 07/22/2008, -0/+28You guys probably posted around the same time so it's understanda... wait, he beat you by 4 hours.
for shame... - DonLinguine, on 07/22/2008, -1/+21***** me. I managed to miss the reply above mine saying the exact same thing.
I'm serious... really. - Immune, on 07/22/2008, -6/+26Well duh, it's Valve. Of course it's awesome.
- CKR600, on 07/22/2008, -2/+20...not
- 801NvizioN, on 07/22/2008, -0/+18What if they make a sequel? Is he gonna grow a finger?
- DonLinguine, on 07/22/2008, -11/+27They should have used a left hand.
- MisterNOIR, on 07/22/2008, -1/+1610 bucks says this boxart gets banned in Australia...
- chiefbandit2200, on 07/22/2008, -0/+14it's okay... you're not the only slow one this morning. I didn't get why at first either :[
Protip: LEFT 4 dead - paranoiabacon, on 07/22/2008, -4/+16Orange box. nuff said. damn, turn the fanboyism from a 9 to maybe a 6.
- retrovertigo, on 07/22/2008, -1/+11That is an awesome box cover, but I bet my own thumb that'll never see store shelves without an edit. It's still too graphic. If the Saw movies had to make edits to their posters, then Left 4 Dead will most likely see them as well.
- bryceman111, on 07/22/2008, -1/+11I got it after seeing your comment and realizing that there was a pun.
- Rocksea24, on 07/22/2008, -0/+8Because they were using "left," the past tense version of "leave" as in leaving something behind.
- FurtThePirate, on 07/22/2008, -0/+8four fingers?
And its a valve game. - zanvann, on 07/22/2008, -1/+9LEFT 4 dead. Not RIGHT 4 dead.
geddit? ok then.
/wanks into coma - Rev0lver, on 07/22/2008, -2/+9I've come to a realization that Valve is pretty damn bad at box art (see: The Orange Box). But with something like Steam available, who needs to worry about that?
- Evi1d33d, on 07/22/2008, -0/+7This game needs a mall level.
- SinisterSaracen, on 07/22/2008, -2/+8Yep, that's pretty clever.
Ya gotta hand it to em. - otto989, on 07/22/2008, -0/+6but you will
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time - paranoiabacon, on 07/22/2008, -0/+6Hehehehehe...
Thumbs up... - dn11, on 07/22/2008, -0/+6dude, there was nothing wrong with orange box box. leave orange box box alone!
- blinky04, on 07/22/2008, -1/+6Seriously?
- Quizboy, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5Ya blew it Don!
- frozensnake, on 07/22/2008, -1/+6what pun.
- Crazymaniacc, on 07/22/2008, -1/+6sry for double comment, but I made a quick mock up and I don't see the big deal...
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4558/left4deadw ... - SSUK, on 07/22/2008, -0/+410 bucks says Australia calls for the game to be edited.
- Wilsomatic, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4The Saw movies here in Australia still had severed body parts for the box art on the DVDs. Some had reversible slips, but the shelves mostly displayed the severed body parts.
- SHUUTOBI, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5Game is going to rule.
I wish Alien Swarm: Infested would hurry up and release though. :( - zboyet, on 07/22/2008, -3/+7I too fail to see what is so awsome about this.
- Shaflugi, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5But-but.. you can't deny Valve's level of awesomity!
- Dozernotz, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4That's it Linguine. We're benching you for the rest of the season, I don't care who your dad is. It's just not fair to the rest of the kids. I'm sorry Don. Don't look at me like that. I said I'm sorry.
- Murdats, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3well that would be left 4 dead 2
so they would use 2 hands - justice7, on 07/22/2008, -1/+4while i have the 360, this is definitely one for the PC.
- CollapseControl, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3That game is gonna be fun. It may not be the best looking game, but 4 player co-op fighting zombies, can't go wrong there.
- Quizboy, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3The pun is that there are four playable survivors in the game, hence the "4" in the title and the four fingers.
- h4mx0r, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Does this cover art remind anyone of watermelons? That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it for some reason... how strange.
- KalebS, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2yea i think i might actually buy this instores just because of the box art....unless i can get it earlier on steam.
- joeblow1102, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2This actually makes my thumb hurt, but I can't wait.
- Zergvasion, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Dugg even though I will just end up pre-purchasing this game on Steam, so the box art will mean nothing to me.
I only hope it will see as much PC support as Team Fortress 2 has. I'll save my 360 for Gears 2. - third_eye, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Agreed completely - in fact it really doesn't have the same oopmph otherwise.
- Wilsomatic, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2It IS creative in the sense that it has a severed hand with the obvious reference to it being a zombie game and the not-so-obvious reference to the title by having 4 figners. Not to mention that it's a hand left somewhere, not necessarily attached to anything.
It may be simple, but not everything has to be busy. It of course isn't groundbreaking, but what is anymore?
Execution, I agree is poor. The designer went a bit too far with the levels on the hand thus making it very badly exposed (but it may have been done to darken the gore areas). The hand is a right hand. The background could definately have been better and green is just a horrible colour for something like this.
However, with all of that said, this is a stand out piece of box art because it is creative in its use of meaning and it is different to other video game box art out there. - BugMeNot2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1That's what mods are for. :D
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1didnt strike meas anything but a hand and a lot of green
- Tigergrape, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1"Left_4_Dead_packshot_box_art_sucks"
read it again? - Rosco, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Nice PA reference
- BugMeNot2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I think it's getting close to half Steam, half retail.
I think Valve said something like around 40% of Orange Box sales were on Steam. - btschul, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Ahhhhhhh...........*****.
- btschul, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Can't wait.
