Nice! Its going to be hard for them to go wrong on the art for this. Almost every poster looked amazing. I'm sure the steel will look great!
 
Great news @Drum18! :thumbs:

As a steelbook collector from Canada, I feel like we are so far behind now that Futureshop is out of the picture. We have been getting significantly lesser announcements since FS officially ceased their operations. And when we do get an announcement, Canada is nearly always the last. I am even more frustrated that BestBuy Canada doesn't even offer the same catalogue the US counterpart does.

Yes, I forgot to include that. I was trying to contain my recent disappointment with Assassin's Creed. I missed the preorder because I was hoping to come into the store and inspect the finish prior to purchasing, but it has been quite a few weeks now and I have never seen a single copy on the shelves nor restock online.
 
Wow, I am SO MAD about this artwork!!!

Not because I don't like the image... but because how poor of a photoshop job they did on it. How did this happen!?
Here is the original:

Now if you notice on the steelbook. They photoshopped Kong to be "Darker" in the image, probably to stand out more.


Problem with that is. The lighter shades make it further away and give scale (or depth). So now that mountain in front of Kong, looks like its behind him!!!!
So now Kong has NO LEG and it looks like we can see an outline of his junk...

How did they miss this!? idiots.

@kaw I wish I hadn't read your post man.. You gave a mad but valid observation. Regrettably, that info will be forever stuck in my head whenever I glance to this steelbook from this point forward. :facepalm:
