According to metalgearsolid4.net the US boxart has been revealed.

It doesn't look that great IMO, and sort of fake, but MetalGearSolid4.net seems pretty confident.

its probably fake, and i say this because i am a graphic designer and there is just no way that the title would be allowed to be that small.

lol its obviously fake guys. The closes thing to what we have is that one pic of the game they released when they said it was going to come out june 12th. That was the japenese box art but wasnt official. Wait till konami or Kojima productions release the box art. And dont trust amazon lol.

I wouldn't be shocked if it ended up looking roughly like that. Americanized boxarts almost always suck. EU and Japan always fare better. We have a semi decent track record on MGS, but I wouldn't be shocked if that streak ended. I kinda wish we had a site that allowed you to import EU and Japanese boxart slips on the cheap, it'd be nice.

Mate, that boxart is sexy

All boxarts should be the same with small Region flags on the back, or under the P of 'PLAYSTATION3'

l'll bet you anything its a fake because Kojima seems to like his box art hand drawn. I expect something that looks like the Subsistence box art.

Its a fake the real box art is what is on the beta CD from game stop I got mine last night and the game box art is what on the CD case so if you have not got your beta key for MGSO you better run to get it before its to late all you have to do is put 5 dollars on the reserve and tell them you want the beta CD for MGSO and the retrospective is on thr blu-ray disc happy hunting

theres nothing wrong with solid snake's eye :roll:, that eye patch of his is a device that can do things like zoom, nightvision, and thermal..... the only reason its in the form of an eye patch is so solid snake metaphorically "looks" like big boss 8)

There is nothing wrong with Solid Snakes eye, the patch he is wearing is a device called the Solid Eye it works as a night vision and thermal goggles.

if you follow the game and the trailers they showed you would have known that, Otacon gave it to him.

lol, it's easy to see that it's fake.
Anyone with good eyes try looking ath the text. It's easy to see that the text looks blurry compared to the rest of the box are. Wich basically means, that the resolution are different, and that it's just a cheap photoshop trick.

I just don't get it how the guy invest a lot of time to make the box art and then put "Required Hard Disk Space: at least 240 KB"

COME ON 240KB? The save games are going to be what? 2 Bits?..... LOL

I really like this one, but it is missing something which is:

"Hideo Kojima Game"

The symbol in the bottom middle is it.

Kojima production or something, with the yellow fox.

That doesn't really mean anything. MGS3: Subsistence (original US cover, not Essential's boxart), for example, didn't have the Kojima logo or say anything about Kojima on the front. The original MGS box art in the US didn't even have a picture on it, just the MGS logo, "Tactical Espionage Action" and the Konami logo.

Really, the only things guaranteed to be on the cover are "Playstation 3" on the side, the Blu-Ray symbol at the top, the playstation logo and whatever version it is (ie., NTSC), ESRB rating, "Konami," "Tactical Espionage Action" somewhere around the title, and the title of the game.

Man, I dont know, that looks very japanese, Usually US boxart does not look like that, it usually does not take up all the cover with objects and characters like that, japanese games on the other hand usually do, just go and look at some and you will know what I mean, like fantasy games will have the whole cover filled up with charcters and creatures from the game covering up the whole cover all the way to the edge of the box just as an example.

The japanese boxart alongside the european version are Shinkawa's works with the brush! The US version might be different.

I trusted MetalGearSolid4.net! But they give me the fake boxart and call it the real thing?!

I think the box art is real cause look at the bundle i found on amazon..

aka_aj03

Wait... maybe my faith in MetalGearSolid4.net is slowly reappearing!

The boxart might be fake, but hell the GRAPHICS and THE DAMN DETAILS on SNAKE's face are freakin' UNBELIEVABLE! That picture is NEW!!!! Now where did that faker brought that new picture?? who knows. DAMN it the graphics....!!!!!!!

AgentH

Yeah, I've never seen the picture, so I started believing it. I agree! The details are FREAKING DETAILED! Not to mention that it's probably not even CGI!

It says HERE that Snake's mustache by itself has the same amount of polygons as an enemy soldier in MGS3!

Looks fake to me, MGS artwork is always handdrawn, as somebody previously stated, the EU ones anyway.

They are not always handdrawn Shinkawa. Twin Snakes NA(ugly):

Twin Snakes PAL(probably the sexiest): http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZAD7V8ZBL.jpg

Limited Edition will be a metal box that will contain MGS4 game with standard artwork and special dvd box.

What is with everyone saying this looks good? Did you see his ear? The man looks like Odo from Deep Space Nine.
