Another Counterpart Idea!


If those are the counterparts of those three, then I am happy.

Scorpion and Batman
Wonder Woman and Raiden
Sub Zero and Superman

Now we won't have arguments on whether Catwoman or Wonder Woman gets Kitana or Sonya.

That's some awesome looking cover art, but Subs was a better match for Batman, and it should be Raiden against Superman, not Scorpion.

Not bad at all... I wonder if the Kollector's edition will have the same cover or not.

I'd like to see a few different variations, though.

Mmm! An unattractive, uninspiring painted cover straight from the nineties!
How could MK fans not like it?

The Worlds Collide face off version might be familiar to fans, but it's also a far more enticing and appropriate design. Lumpy, style-deficient painted renderings looks more like something a magazine would knock-up, or receive as promo art.
Way cool!!!

What I see is a badass cover that's gonna be very noticeable when people see it on the shelves at Gamestop.
Would you prefer the original cover art, the silhouette of Batman and Sub-Zero? Cause that was kind of boring.

Silhouettes are black... Not clearly visible images like the Sub-Zero/Batman mock-up [mentioned] that is conventionally appealing, has better economic composition, and is much more instantly noticable than a motley cover with ugly designs and barely noticable characters loitering in the background. Neither eye catching, asthetically pleasing, or an efficient way to attract attention to a game on a shelf.

Boring? I find it very hard to believe people dismissive of the Worlds Collide cover aren't letting their own familiarity with the image get in the way of assessing what is a decent and representative cover.

Apparently this piece looks exactly like what it's been used as, up until now: supplemental artwork.

It might fill space [well!] in an editorial and sponsor interest in the lead up to official game renders, but as a cover, it's disconnected and dated. I'm not sure I believe it is the final art given how poorly the space is used.

Well, I think the new cover looks much better than the mockup. The mock up was good for a teaser, it had its spark of dark mystery. But when people are gonna buy this game what they have to see is not "This is dark and mysterious", they have to see, "This game is about angry badass character beating the shit out of each other."

Honestly, it's kind of boring, but in the same breath, it tells you exactly what the game is gonna be. Uninspired....yes. Effective....I think so.

It doesn't have to be the couterparts. It could be they placed Scorpion and Batman in front because Batman has been bumped up by The Dark Knight movie and Scorpion... I don't know... Boon likes him! grin
