So the publishers of Metalheart contacted us at NMA regarding what front they should use on their game, so here they are:

2.

Which one do you prefer?

They didn't want this to appear on the front page, hence my reason for posting it here.
 
Two looks better than one, graphically (drawings > rendered graphics), but I really hate the chick-torn-clothes PA thing, so one

Exactemundo!
 
pic number one is way too polished, too clean. the two chars look a bit too generic to me. i like the art on the robot corpse & other stuff in the background more than the 2 characters & the robot head the guy is holding. too much "hey look, 2 vanilla clones are gonna save the world!". the torn shirt on the guy is in contrast with the cleanliness of all the rest. just doesnt look right.

pic number two is way better. i like the worn down effect of the pants and the choice of colors. it paints a better picture of the gloomy/dark PA setting. although the thorn shirt is too much "OMFG! B00BIEZ!".

anyway, i voted pic number 2.
 
What Kharn said, the chick in the second one looks like she's been hit in the head too hard. One.
 
2, as the first one seems a bit too *bright* and plastic coated. I see the seocnd one as a better drawing. Maybe if they drew the first one instead of rendering it, it would be better.


So, numero 2.
 
Number two looks grittier, and the "chick in torn clothes with a big gun" will help sales. I mean, I'd pick that one up before I'd pick the first one up.

So, number two.
 
I like the background on the firs one, but the characters (slightly unnatural pose, poor texturing and general blandness) and, although the art style of the character in the second is better, it still has the "Oh my Heavens! A female!" kind of vibe to it. Why sell a game on sex when sex is largely irrelevant in it? (I mean, sure a Sim Hooker or Virtual Poledance game would be served well by that, but a PA-style RPG?)

Also, the logo is terrible. Would they even still be using dogtags in a future with widespread physical modifications? SUrely a subdermal implant or somesuch would work better? But that, of course, wouldn't make such a recognisable setting for the title of the game.

Sorry, but I abstain, though I hope that my criticism has been of some use.
 
The number one, of course. Although it`s not pretty, the second just screams "amateur work", or rehash of some old concept art, so i vote on the first, no doubt.

Wow, another sheep.

A a brimming male sheep I may add :lol: (j/k)
 
Box nr. 2 has that 'despair' look to it, so I'd prefer that one. Although, indeed, the fact that it's another big-boobied clothes-torn female is kinda annoying.

I'm not going to vote, because I don't see me beign attracted to either one of those boxes for the reasons mentioned above.
 
I'm gonna have to go with the semi-naked chick. The drawing is simply better than the first one plus there's a semi-naked chick in it.
 
I choose the second one. The colors are more intense, the lines are keener and the woman's pose and face are much more expressive. To neglect all that because of boobies would be silly. If anything, boobies are a plus.
 
Yuck. I wonder who the hell they hired to do such poor poster work.

OMFG BOOBIES!!!11!

I hate to admit it, but it works. Just not in lieu of gameplay, hopefully.

Also, the first one looks really amateurish, and dated. Like an old NES game from a second rate publisher.

Hey man, statistics show, you know?

Look at the average Gamestop customer. 20-something, overweight, "My Other Balls are Crystal" hat on, virgin. What's going to appeal to him more, the cover with the buff looking dude, or the hawt chick with short hair and tattered clothes?
 
You'd have to ask Ozrat that malky...

I went for 1 though, just because 2 seemed more like a cheap ploy to snag the young male gamers with promises of boobies and violence.. not that there's anything wrong with that..
 
All I'm saying is that going with the second one would be a smarter business move.
 
The road to gaming Hell is paved with smart busin ess moves...
