Any thoughts on the new look?

Looks great, also “Only on PlayStation” is missing, interesting.
They are using “PS Studios” logo instead.
I think this allows them to allow games to come to pc, and to not contradict themselves with the messaging.
Yeah, that is odd. Hints at times exclusives I reckon. You can have a proper exclusive that isn’t Sony owned.
Tbh, that “Only on PlayStation” tagline doesn’t exactly mean much anymore, considering Horizon: Zero Dawn has that tagline even though it’s going to PC. I’d guess Sony probably just doesn’t really care to use that tagline for any PS5 games since they seem to be considering more PC releases. So that tagline’s omission from Spiderman Miles Morales probably doesn’t mean much (at least not unless the tagline reappears on other PS5 games).
Sony literally bought a studio to keep Spiderman exclusive, I doubt that this means it’s coming to PC.
Whats more likely is that they don’t want to have it on the box to confuse people into thinking it’s a game that works on both PS4 and PS5.
Plus Horizon was almost certainly put on PC to entice those people to buy a PS5
Facts @mitchypower
Hopefully they don’t plan on making too many of the PS5 exclusives available on the PC, or else they’ll end up like Microsoft.
@mitchypower
Sony didn’t buy Insomniac to keep Spider-man exclusive. Sony had the rights to the game and they published it. It was exclusive to Sony regardless of who made it.
Does the blue case come in black? Like the one for Ghost of Tsushima.
@SpoonMX
Microsoft has been making PC games far longer than Xbox games because they own Windows. And why is that a bad thing? It’s no different from Nintendo making games for a handheld system and home console.
@SpooNManX
Microsoft has been making PC games far longer than Xbox games because they have Windows. And why is that a bad thing? They own both platforms (Windows and Xbox) so its only fair they make games for both.
Not sure how I feel about the white at the top but I get it as it matches the console.
A white case whould fit it better. And the only on playstation is missing. That’s interesting
I think if you made the case clear or black it would look better.
The blue definitely feels out of place for me, since all of the marketing so far has highlighted the PS5’s black and white color scheme. I would have preferred a black case, like an Ultra HD Blu-ray.
I think the PS5 white strip at the top & white case would be much better so we know what the PS5 box art looks like when we buy games for it.
Yeah I’m not digging the blank space feeling the white bar at the top gives off. If it was more of a PS5 badge in the top center I think it would display well and leave more room for the game’s cover art. The white’s not the problem it’s how think it is, taking up a lot of real estate. Positively, I love Miles’ cover art. I’m looking forward to it’s release!
Looks sharp imo, u want it to look like a 4K blu ray?
nah blue is more better
black is deifintly suits for PS5
FRESH
I feel that the case should be white as well, but besides that it looks good.
Here’s an idea: what if the case and outline was white, but the logo was blue? It would fit with the color scheme
Looks cool
Looks great.
I think a black case would’ve been better.
Definitely.
Agree
It is blue because of branding. Just like XBOX, cases are green even if the console is black.
yeah
I love it but a white case would have been even better
I agree, but from a marketing standpoint, this does make sense. Many consumers wouldn’t look at the color of the case, only the front with the box art.
Seeing the top of the case with white stripping saying PS5 is new instead of indicating PS4 with the blue strip to many casual gamers out there getting confused.
I feel it’d look a wee bit better with clear cases but I do like.
clear cases were ps3 bro
Hell yeah, I like it.
I really like it! The white at the top is visually appealing in my opinion.
Big nope, on the box art, why do it white? Why make it clear white on the box and make it black or blue on the PS5 logo bar.
Because blue was for PS4.
And Black was for PS3
cool design but with a transparent black it would look nice
case, of course
Just keep it simple, no need for white border. Art + PS logo in the top left corner (white or black depending on art).
The case should either be clear (like the PS3 days), white, or black.
agreed
where is the “Only On PlayStation” logo?
lol. I have some bad news for you anon.
@gaara_kage
The likelihood of you having any news worth mentioning is incredibly slim.
PS Studios logo indicates its a first party game.
It’s okay. Not bad, not great.
Looks cool, next gen about to be crazy
Good design, but I don’t like the blue box. It should be black/ smokey grey/ white.
Agree
this looks amazing
Pretty bad. No imagination. Mockups are so much better.
It’s unfortunate how frequently armchair critics like you misconstrue convolution with ‘imagination.’ Your inability to understand nuance speaks volumes, and is likely why you’re critiquing from your armchair and not from the artist’s chair.
@Rehjul sony isn’t going to blow you.
@jisatsu_kiddo
Your comment is as witless as you are unremarkable.
@Rehjul you tried….kinda.
Agree, ignore the other idiot
@jisatsu_kiddo
So in addition to having the cognitive span of an NOC, you’re also too stupid to understand how posting works? The post was made, not attempted, you illiterate.
@Rehjul wow. you’re still trying.
@jisatsu_kiddo
Wow, you’re still an illiterate.
@Rehjul wow. that guy was right. have a great day idiot.
@jisatsu_kiddo
LOL, you really intend to double down on showing the world that you’re an illiterate twat, huh?
@momealsadi
Poor you. Mediocre minds never struggle to find company, unfortunately. :(
I think it looks cheap. I think it’s the combination with that old ”Spider-man movie” font, it hasen’t aged well, and the white background. Instead of minimalistic and stylish it just looks cheap.
That isn’t Spiderman movie font. Sony redesigned the font when they released the PS3 Slim.
Really dislike the white strip on the blue case. Doesn’t work at all.
Agree
Bom, na minha opinião gostaria que a caixa tivesse a cor preto e azul, ao invés de azul com branco.
Nice
Would be nice if the design elements complemented the game art, rather than using a standard white border across all boxes.
Agreed.
Boxes need standardized, have you looked at game spines over the years? it’s a mess.
I can’t wait to get a sneak peek at that collectors edition.
Prefer PS4’s boxes.
This was posted here 7 hours ago and no one noticed! I’m loving the look of it and it’s kinda what I was expecting/hoping for!
Waiting for the ps5 price 😆
There was a leak from Amazon France a few weeks ago, 499€ for standard PS5 and 399€ for digital only. If you’re in USA it’ll probably the same price but in $ instead of €.
Release date was 22.11.2020, or 11/22/2020 .
BLACK BOX PLEASE !!!
Would be waaay better.
Yes it’s the right choice
Il faudrait absolument changer ce bleu en blanc ou noir translucide car ça fait trop jaquette PS4.
Honestly, I’m getting the digital version, but doesn’t matter really does it?
“Only on PlayStation” missing is interesting though. I know this is PS Studios but that’s not immediately obvious to some.
Ehh. It’s all right, I suppose. Fits the color scheme of the system. Not really excited to see the box art for the upcoming Spider-Man game though. A city backdrop or something would have been nice.
Looks too much like the PS4’s.
Except the white bar , it’s Pretty much a PS4 cover
Not bad, although I was hoping for a new box color to distinguish old PS4 games from new PS5 games, since PS3 games were clear and PS4 were blue.
I prefer the all blue PS4 box art look. This mesh of white, blue and black doesn’t look good.
True
Not a fan personally, the blue & white clash quite badly, would much prefer for the case to be white as well, or black even…
In an ideal world the packaging wouldn’t have any plastic at all, especially virgin plastic, but that’s unlikely to happen due to costs… But it is 2020, don’t Sony care about the environment?
Combination of white and black would have been great
Black box looks better.
I like the white strip, but the contrast on a blue jewel case is too much. ¿Maybe go back to transparent cases?
Hey Sid. I loved the Box Art. But can you tell us if the “Only on PlayStation” is gone ? It’s been replaced for the PS Studios Logo ? Thanks
I wouldn’t expect to get an answer about that. Only way probably is if a video game journalist directly asked them that question during an interview… if it wasn’t stipulated beforehand that they couldn’t.
Box should be white or at least black. And where is “Only on Playstation” mark?
Its good but a black or transparent case would’ve made it 100 times better….
Shane to see you’re using plastic still
I think a white case would look better with the new cover’s color, otherwise it feels like the games you usually buy from second-hand shops without their original cases.
The white stripe on the front looks huge in these screenshots at least. I’d like to see it smaller, and maybe a white / clear case to match better.
They used clean cover with the PS3 games , I think black cover with white is a great choice that near the console design
Since the PS5 banner is going to be white, I think the cases should be black to match the color aesthetic of the console. I love how black cases for physical 4K movies look. Black cases would look amazing.
10000%
The blue case is out of place. Black or white is better.
Yes
I like it but I think the box color should be white or black
I LIKE IT. Also, Sony is SNEAKY SNEAKY letting everyone know what the PS5’s color design would be with the PSVR.
SNEAKY SNEAKY getting rid of the “Only on PlayStation” phrasing on the box art for exclusives.
Gorgeous cover. PlayStation is synonymous with blue and the black and white PS5 matches the console.
Huh?
Playstation 4 is synonymous with blue. Playstation 1, 2, 3 all had black covers so that’s more synonymous with the Playstation brand in general.
I think white would be best to complement the banner (looked great on WiiU too) and the console/controller.
*black banners* obviously :p
edit function ASAP please?
i feel that the boxes should be white or black or purple or some other color
