Thrift Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 I got an EB catalogue yesterday, and in it was a photo of what I assume is the KOTOR box-art. Has anyone else seen it? It looks awful puurtty. It’s strange though, it’s not a coming soon title and is on a page with other games which I think are already out. Maybe we have an early release coming? (*crosses fingers*) I will scan it in this afternoon if anyone wants? I have no software/location for upload, so I will probably need to email it.
Burrie Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 I still have some space on a FTP. If you can send it to ruben@vanderleun.com, I'll upload it for you...
Com Raven Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 yeah, show it to us... and I hope we get it late february, march...
Taos Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 I have a feeling that it's not the actual box art......but rather a fans or designers idea.......
Burrie Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 I decided to check upon amazon.co.uk to see wether they have some box-art for the game... lo and behold : Now, wether t'is the true box art, or a fan design, I wouldn't know. However, just the thought that it MIGHT be the box art, and knowing that it will lay on the shelves in the upcoming year just gives me shivers... which tells me that I'm getting a bit too hyped for this game [edit : IMG tags corrected]
Taos Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 That's the one I thought you were referring to......I thought that it(box art) might be that as well. I asked Com and he said that one has been out for a while.....
Com Raven Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 Look on their homepage, they cut the part at the bottom that said "for illustration only" So forget it That pic has been long out before LEC did the real art...
Thrift Posted December 29, 2002 Author Posted December 29, 2002 I just sent it. Thanks burrie! Sorry, it's a ****ing huge jpg (1.3meg). I don't know how/don't have any software to shrink it. Yeah it's much more professional looking than that image. I'm almost certain it's the box art.
Thrift Posted December 29, 2002 Author Posted December 29, 2002 Wait, no I won't, it's too big to send. I'm uploading it on a mate's web space. Com if you want to put it on the main page can you host it so it doesn't take too many hits and crash it? Ta. [Edit: Thanks to Burrie it can now be removed.]
Com Raven Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 hmm, hard one... the image sure looks proffesional, but I am not sure if they'd just put Malak on front and be done with it... still, it could be the one...
Burrie Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 For those with a slower connection, I've shrunk the picture to 50% of its original size, and compressed it somewhat...
Thrift Posted December 30, 2002 Author Posted December 30, 2002 Cheers Burrie! Actually, on closer inspection that black X-Box bar doesn't quite fit... Either way, at the least I think it's a new drawing isn't it? It is kind of familiar but I can't place it. Maybe its been seen before from the footage/photos of E3? Another thing that is interesting (possibly the most interesting) is the "15% Off Gameguide" thing.
Hannibal Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 That says the game is $99.95. $49.95 when you trade in 2 PS2, Xbox or GC games. That's weird. What county is this from? The game should be 49.95 without any trade-ins. There isn't anything new in the ad. All those pictures have been up on the LucasArts site. So some creative person at EB could have put it together getting people hyped for the release.
Darth Simpson Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 I doubt they're going to use that picture. If you look closely, you'll see that Malak's lightsaber is somehow...bent/out of sync at the top. Not a cool mistake to print on a couple thousand boxes.
Com Raven Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 that pic was used on a billboard on sunset boulevard during E3 2002...
Burrie Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 Didn't they also have that picture on some Star Wars magazine? I can vaguely remember that shot being the first screenshot I ever saw of Malak, and maybe the first image I ever saw for Kotr.

Com Raven Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 yeah, some cool guy scanned that, but I think I forgot the name
Taos Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I do remember seeing that pic a long time ago.....when was E3? Like August or July, or earlier....
Com Raven Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 may... in fact we launched this site one day before E3 started...
Taos Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Whenever the art is released, I hope it's a good pic and worthy enough for this game. Quote Originally posted by Raven in fact we launched this site one day before E3 started... Now there is an interesting bit of trivia....
Com Raven Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 the art is done since a while already, just not released so far...
Burrie Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Mmmmm, how much do you know that we don't know, Raven?
Com Raven Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 some things, but I don't know the art, sorry but I know when you guys will get a new wallpaper
Toa Tahu Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 I only want the KotoR box art to be simple,yet elegant as the JO box art.Simply stunning.
