it's not too bad, but I really expected much more. I was hoping for a 458 or even a ZR1 again, but never the less, once I take out the disc and put it in the ps3, I may never see the cover again, probably until GT6 is out...!!!
 
I can't blame you for questioning me, but it was not hindsight.

Fair enough mate, I didn't look hard enough. I still think that given the nature of the game, coming up with an image that would be similar was inevitable. Even GT4 had a car with it's doors open! But fair play, I give you credit where credit is due 👍

what white case? The only thing white is the paper cover insert. My case, plastic box, is black.
As many people have said now, the initial EU release of GT4 had white cases, and that did more to set the look than the cover itself.
 
Just make your own :)

I got 4 pure class cover art ones I've done which I'll be using one.
For something to pass the time, I can respect that. However, printing it out and putting it on the game case that, for me, will be tucked away in a drawer somewhere...nah!

So come on, share your creations - just small thumbnails if you don't want people nicking your hi-res stuff ;)
 
PEGI uses a combination of content declaration and game review to determine the appropriate PEGI rating for each game. Initially, the publisher of a game will complete an online declaration form that is sent to the administrator of the system. The completed form is then reviewed and used as a basis for checking the content of the game. The content declaration aspect of PEGI is a significant strength as only the developer/publisher of a game has a complete overview of the content in the game. The overview allows the administrator to focus on sections or aspects of the game that will most likely to affect the rating. This is more efficient and reliable than the administrators attempting a full play through (assuming it was possible) as the only basis for the rating.
 
Too much going on in the cover. The car should not have been red in colour.Why?

just a quick one

Would have looked a bit dull if it was the usual grey/silver, black wouldn't have worked.

Half of the red is faded into the background with the digitized effect anyway. Looks great to me, but each to there own.

Too much going on?! Far from reducing what's going on, you whiting out the "T" just stands out like a sore thumb and looks right out of place (besides, it does not match the brand of the logo being blue and red when shown in colour).

If the car should not have been red, what colour should it have been? Red has been a feature colour for SONY and the PS3 since launch. Makes total sense to me.

Still not bad compared to the others in the past.

See how the T in GT does not blend in with the shade of the same colour in any of the other covers.
 
SLS is the choice because Kaz thinks it will be "the hottest car at the time GT5 launches", so the choice makes sense. MB probably paid quite a premium to be the cover car too.
 
Is not ugly but it ain't what it could have been. GT4s cover is the prettiest so far.
Only with a white case. Seen it with blue and black cases, looks nowhere near as good.

Looking at those covers above though, I can't believe how bad the GT3 cover was! I think the new one is by far the best so far.
 
In my opinion its a nice cover ... the cover of the game will only serve me to identify more quickly GT5 on the shop and to buy the game immediately, after taking the game out is arranged in the drawer! :D

I'm more curious about the back cover

Exactly. Stands out of place. The whiting of the T was just to show how if the car was not red in colour it stands out (GT). It was easier for me to colour the letter than the whole car.
Talking about you mentioning brand of the logo The letters GT have not always been in Blue & Red as you can see from the previous colours.
Like you say it stands out like a sore thumb, We reconise this brand with those 2 letters and not the car.

Its a nice cover dont get me wrong but being in the Graphic Design/Advertising/Typography industry you may not see things that i see.

I never said the letters have not always been in blue & red. I am well aware that the GT logo is used in monochrome and greyscale. This is why I added, "when shown in colour" to the end of my sentence, meaning that when the G is blue, the T red.

I know what you are saying about the red T maybe not standing out as much, but I really don't see that as an issue. It's not like the letter is directly over the red car is it? The background to the logo is essentially greyscale, which sets it off nicely.
 
Well I was bored, so this my half ***** attempt at using the black poster art for the cover.........

I would much rather have that one, maybe it will be the collectors edition(or whatever they call it) cover.
 
But have they released only the american and european version of the cover?

- we have american rated by esrb
- we have european rated by pegi
- but i didn't saw the japanese rated by Cero
 
Just a quick mess about with Paint Shop Pro to see what it would look like with the car in greyscale using the actual box art as starting material:

I really do prefer the car in greyscale, as I totally agree, it makes the logo stand out more as previously discussed.

Its not rated by the ESRB, it still has the "RP" (rating pending) logo on it.
The German website has it with a (fugly) USK rating from 0 by the way.
