>game makes a very conscious effort to kind of dangle the big baddy around a lot before giving you the opportunity to actually see it to build tension
>developers stress the importance of "fear of the unknown"
>meanwhile in the marketing department
>let's just put a gatherer on the cover lol

Who is holding the lantern?
Evan Hernandez

Leo Collins

>games are for children
>ergo they need the game covers to be as appealing to children as possible
American marketers are about a couple of decades behind the trends.

>Horror game
>Rated M
>For children
Gavin Thomas
The cover unironically spoils the beginning hours of the game, that's just fucking terrible
Nicholas Rivera
>people don't buy games solely on abstract retarded nothing images on the box.
That's what they were thinking, which is true. If all you have to look at in the box is a non representative image about nothing and the title of the game, do you really think people make the gamble of buying shit?
>inb4 word of mouth
Of course this example is in a vacuum
Brandon Stewart
>there is a monster in the horror game
Woah what a spoiler

Watching a youtube video != playing
Keep on projecting though

I don't know, I think some marketing dudebro shitting over the intention/idea behind your game is gay.
If you want to make a horror cover, you shouldn't use the most extreme imagery in your game. Maybe alude to some of the creepyness but don't just give it away like that.
You don't see pyramid head raping a monster on the cover of silent hill 2 either

tl;dr murricans are brainlets that need ACKSHUN ACKSHUN ACKSHUN everywhere.
Logan Collins
The version with the rose is used for the collection in the US, I have never seen the other cover and assumed it was fanmade or some kind of shitpost
Jackson Morris
>there is a monster in the horror game
Did you miss the thousands of walking sims with nothing but jump scares and no monster?
Parker Reyes
>But please tell me what was spoiled.
I don't see a spoiler here too, I think this guy is retarded or something
Carson Torres
BotW is rated M and its definitely for children.
Kevin Collins
You see the monster plenty of time in the game, its not like its a big reveal or anything.
