Thanks for making #4 the reverse art

I like number 4, but i wouldve loved to have number 6. Unfortunately I wish that the logo on number 4 went with the style of the rest of the cover

#4…. even songbird’s voting….

design #2 all the way, the handymen are like the equivalent to the Big Daddies. And the art work on that one is just classic Bioshock. But, I do understand why #4 got the top vote, people eat that artsy shit up.

I meant to say #6 is the best, i didn’t mean to confuse anyone

If Irrational Games would had me hired just to do this. I could had put a nice idea. but will do one for myself. but indeed there were some good covers but none with beside #5

I think we speak the same language

By:

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:03:07 +0000

So what you’re saying is that #1 has a lot missing to it

By:

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:56:40 +0000

Oh, no, no, no – covers #3 and #5 are probably going to be on the main cover because they’re the most generic anyway.

#2
#4
#6

These covers are what we want to be on the inverse cover

By:

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:49:23 +0000

I think #5 is the best for the main cover but I would love to see #6 as the reverse cover

By:

Fuck You

By:

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:46:36 +0000

You better be joking, eh, who cares #1 won’t win anyway

By:

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:14:44 +0000

#6 “the true Bioshock Infinite cover”

Other than that, yeah, I love #4 as well and should be on a limited edition just because it is sooo bizarre but fits perfectly nonetheless

By:

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:04:24 +0000

I agree with you wholeheartedly

By: bearybeary

bearybeary — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:05:39 +0000

I have to agree with sarethw comment of design #3, the game cover should show the main character and AI companion that give us an description of who will it be in and it tell us that they are the main source of this game.

By:

Sat, 22 Dec 2012 18:36:23 +0000

I agree with you whole-fully

A+ to you

“in my opinion I really like #2 and #6, but these covers need more to make them pop.”

I meant to say “color” instead of “more” for covers #2 and #6

By:

Sat, 22 Dec 2012 18:31:04 +0000

Can you possibly explain why you like #4, in my opinion I really like #2 and #6, but these covers need more to make them pop. #4 has the color to pop but lacks the illustration and does not fit with the aesthetics of the title… it all has to fit together

By:

Sat, 22 Dec 2012 18:18:37 +0000

I swear, I think they put the covers in order from least attractive to most attractive…
I’ll put the covers in 2 categories: Generic and Creative.

My favorite generic cover is cover #5

My favorite creative cover is cover #6
———————————————————————————————————

#1 generic and its too dull with a lot of empty space

#2 original with a captivating illustration but missing lots of color

#3 generic but with good intention, lots of color and space is used well

#4 original with color and depicts the setting well but lacks illustration

#5 generic that’s similar to 3rd cover but characters are moved around

#6 is #1 in my book, beautiful illustration, original, splash of color in the center, space is used well and also has a main character portrayed as well.

Cover number 4 serves as a way to show the gamer the time and setting in a unique way, along with showing off the magnificent Songbird. That, and I simply love the art style the used!

By: bioshockfan2000

bioshockfan2000 — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:15:41 +0000

The only reson I voted for number 4 is because it features the song bird but the real question i have is for the people who bought the 150$ edition (like me) if it comes with the generic cover at all i got this mostly to suport my favorate franchise but i think the special edition sould have a diffrent cover

By: bestnameever

bestnameever — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:42:35 +0000

Design #6 is definitely the way to go. It’s very reminiscent of the original BioShock cover with the Big Daddy and the Little Sister. Cover #6 makes me think of Infinite as a successor more than any of the other cover designs. The rest feel too mainstream-action game or too unfinished. #4 would be great if it looked better than a rough sketch someone put together quickly. The only other cover that could work would be #2 but it still doesn’t feel right for how the games been shown through all the trailers and interviews.

They all seem a bit dull to me. #6 and #4 are ok I guess..

#4 All the way

#6 FTW

People who voted for 3 or 5 don’t understand the point of having another cover

By: recaffinator

recaffinator — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:07:37 +0000

Yes, definitely #6.

By: recaffinator

recaffinator — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:02:51 +0000

I say #6 or #4, the rest are pretty forgettable….

I liked that original cover, but I think having Elizabeth on the front is a bonus. I went with 5 because I like how the lighting looks on Booker, and the way Elizabeth looks is just right in my opinion. In all honesty, as I scrolled, I was saying to myself, “Ooh, that looks good. Ah, That’s way cool. WHOA that’s even cooler. Holy shit these are awesome!”

By: pseudogenesis

pseudogenesis — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:02:54 +0000

I’ll be honest though, #s 3 or 5 would’ve made a much better front cover than the current one. A guy with a shotgun might even be too generic for the frat bros that it’s trying to appeal to, and what’s the harm in throwing an attractive woman into the mix?

By: pseudogenesis

pseudogenesis — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:53:25 +0000

The Handyman one is pretty good, 1 3 and 5 are generic, 4 and 6 are AMAZING. I was very torn, but 4 is so radically different from most of the game covers that I’ve seen before that it takes the cake. I’ll be flipping it the second I get my hands on the game. Thanks for making the downloadable covers and option, too. :3

By: avenger9000

avenger9000 — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:59:43 +0000

I thought the 3 was pretty good ,but I have to say the design 4 and 6 go more with the art form of that period and in my opinion 4 is better than 6

By: fiachsidhe

fiachsidhe — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:20:57 +0000

I meant to say #6 captures more of the deeper relationship, and emotion of the characters depicted.

fabiodm — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:19:18 +0000

Hye !
4 & 6 for me.
Thx

By: fiachsidhe

fiachsidhe — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:18:05 +0000

#! is too plain, with too much unused space.
#2 Is good
#3 Is way too “generic action game cover”
#4 Is good, but the art is a little messy, and may turn off buyers.
#5 Same as 4
#6 I voted for this one, good symmetry, tasteful depiction and captures more of the characters depicted.

By: sarethw

sarethw — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:15:52 +0000

Even number 3 is a pretty good choice, but I think putting an AI companion in the front is more original than putting the protagonist in the front, or he’s the only character in the front cover, like so many games does these days.
Take Half-Life 2 Episode One, the front cover ‘only’ had the AI companion and it still looked amazing.
It can be done, keep it original but not so much creative that it’d be hard to tell what the game is about.

By: fiachsidhe

fiachsidhe — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:12:30 +0000

“! look at Design #6 and all I see is PHALLUS WEARING A MONOCLE”

That’s because you’re an idiot.

By: sarethw

sarethw — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:05:53 +0000

The last three is the best; I’d defiantly say number 4 or 5 would be an ideal choice.
Number 4 because it looks so creative and original and I love the art style in it, and Number 5 because of so many reasons, most of them touching what the game is really about and the more average gamer might look twice at art cover number 5 in a game store than number 4 even if the 4th is quite the eye catcher. Anyone who doesn’t know what Bioshock Infinite is about wouldn’t appreciate number 4 and I think the larger general players would find more appeal to number 5.
My personal artistic opinion says the 4th one but my professional business opinion says number 5 as it could attract a more broad audience while still capturing the beauty and originality of the game.

My final choice is still number 4 though.

4 isn’t even that cool… 2 and 3 are perfect.

Design #5 would look great if the male protagonist’s right arm was bent in an L shape with pistol in hand. The female protagonist’s right arm should be lowered as well, so we can see that she has a hand. Without those adjustments, I’ll vote for Design #2.

By:

OH GOD PLEASE #6!

#4 is great and would make a stunning poster, but I think it does not have that box-art feel to it like #6 does.

By: unorthodoxj

unorthodoxj — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 04:18:25 +0000

I admit #4 looks great and all, but c’mon people it’s practically the same as the box art for the songbird figure.

Which means that chances are, being registered to this and all, you’re probably getting the special edition and will be getting this art in some form anyhow.

Keeping that in mind, #6 is both beautiful and features what’s likely to be the two most memorable characters from the game. Seems like the best choice to me.

By: harryj

harryj — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:36:01 +0000

Going along with the previous games’ art, #6 is the only logical choice but I still feel that it’s lacking in some way and I can’t quite pinpoint what
#4 looks far too vibrant to be a Bioshock cover art but it would probably look good as an art book cover if it was made more dull

By: adonovan

adonovan — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:18:12 +0000

I have to choose #4 for two reasons.

1) The style and art are stunning.

2) The cover would coincide with the songbird ultimate edition, increasing collector interest, in my opinion.
I love this game and I can not wait for the release. Keep up the good work!

I would love to see #3 as the main cover, and #4 as the reverse image.

The cover of the first game displayed what everyone was excited for: the Big Daddy. The second game again displayed what everyone was excited for: playing as the Big Daddy. This game again should display what we’re excited for. While Booker and Elizabeth seem like solid characters and very enjoyable to play as and with, I can only assume that a good majority of players are looking forward to the Songbird. I know I am. Number 4 and 6!
