Oh, could you maybe make a photo of the two together, to see how drastic the difference is?
Issue with that being I sold my UK version long ago. So I've only got the Italian variant now. It's not unsightly or anything, but the pattern is now pretty obvious and it attracts the eye (well, to me it does anyway), rather than the design on the front. I did prefer the darker more subdued look of the original.
Okay, so not an exact "like for like" as I don't have the original in hand. Need to take lighting variances and a new phone camera into account too, but the difference is pretty evident either way.
I think it's better looking, from what I recall, there where complaints that the tile background was way too dark on the original and the mockups showed a lighter shade. So I actually prefer this new look to the original dark version. OK, maybe a tad too light, but I'm fine with it..
It is isn't it. Took me by surprise when I opened it. Me either. I prefer the very subtle pattern and darker tone to the original.
However, looking at them side by side there, the detail and colours on/around the scanner are much more robust and defined, which does look better. So pro's and con's to both.
A bit too light, yes. Agreed though, this print looks much more in line with the stock image..
Newer version looks even worse than the already bad looking version. Didn’t think that was possible
In hand the detailing on the scanner is impressive tbh, but the background is distracting and reminds me of a nan's kitchen carpet tiles that haven't been changed since the 60's
..Well technically it's the 1920's as the tiles refer to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House, and the inspiration Blade Runner took and used in Deckard's apartment design. (they also filmed an exterior shot on location)In hand the detailing on the scanner is impressive tbh, but the background is distracting and reminds me of a nan's kitchen carpet tiles that haven't been changed since the 60's
Prefer the newer version. Hopefully UK rerelease will be the same
I'm fairly positive it will be, as the small amount of UK stock is essentially just leftovers from the European reprint.
Wow, that’s quite a difference, practically a whole different steelbook. Definitely like the new version, never liked dark steelbooks. Sad now I bought it off a reseller... although I haven't opened the package yet, maybe I got one of the new ones!
Either way, thank you very much!
They really have that many to sell? I thought it sold out? Did they reprint the title or was the release secretly a failure? Just wondering. It also interesting how many copies sold on eBay for $200 or so, but now there are about 1500 available.
