Yeah I cancelled my order when I heard about the title change FFSI was planning to get a spine printed to match the recent steels anyway. Guess I'll wait to see how they reconcile this Part 2 thing.
Matte.
Or be someone who actually knows the difference between matte and spot gloss, because so many people bloody don't.Can we make a new rule that if you are the first person to post you received a steelbook you have to post photos? Cos I really wanna see a photo of this and I can't find one.
I mean I will admit I was ******* clueless when I came here. And I only endeavour to answer something if I am actually knowledgeable about it. But are you saying it's actually gloss? Cos I can't find a single photo of this anywhere on insta. I know someone showed their photos of the amaray but that doesn't really help. Mine only dispatched a few hours ago despite taking payment on Thursday afternoon which is a real pisser.Or be someone who actually knows the difference between matte and spot gloss, because so many people bloody don't.
Paramount's new steels have a different kind of gloss in the EU anyway. Both Scream 6 and Transformers ROTB have a tactile, less flashy gloss, which I like, but I can see envision confusion.
No I'm not saying this is anything. This is the 1st "confirmation" I've seen. So I don't know, but I was expecting it to be spot or gloss, and I'm saying this new type of gloss paramount are using over here is different and people could get confused. I'll wait for more posts or pics/vid before I'm convinced it's matte.I mean I will admit I was ******* clueless when I came here.

Do you have an example of the type of finish? If I have one I'll go have a look.No I'm not saying this is anything. This is the 1st "confirmation" I've seen.

It's seriously matte.. I'm surprised. New paramount EU releases are usually spot or full gloss.
H20 was a catalogue title though, most of Paramount's recent EU catalogue titles are matte (scream 2/3, event horizon etc..), so I was expecting that. This, I'm not expecting it to be, given it's brand new. The only recent "new" film matte steel I can think of that Paramount have released is the HMV variant of Transformers ROTB, but the other one was glossy.Writing was on the wall with Halloween H20. Seems Scream 6 was an outlier
Only 2 steels I can think of are the EU releases of scream 6 and the spray paint style art for Transformers ROTB. It's a new thing from what I can see, haven't come across it before that ai can recall, and it's hard to explain unless you've got it in hand.Do you have an example of the type of finish?

Yeah, that's fair, and probably right. I wasn't expecting both to be glossy after Transformers, I just thought (hoped) this would be the glossy one.Maybe the red one will end up being gloss over here as well and then it's the same as Transformers - best artwork gets the worst finish
Honestly I have a few brushed metal steels and they look really nice in the hand. Maybe it's just me but they don't look bad at all.Yup, that looks right to me. Ughh. Disappointed.
So do I. It can really depend though, but that doesn't look great imo. My fnac order won't ship for nearly 3 weeks yet, so I've got time to see more pics/vids and cancel.Honestly I have a few brushed metal steels and they look really nice in the hand.
