After the <a href="../../forums/viewtopic.php?t=24147">recent reveal</a> of the box art for Fallout: New Vegas, the intarwebs have come together to heave a collective sigh at how boring it is. A great deal of you were expecting something a bit less generic, so I'll put it to you:
Can you do any better? Show us what you've got.
 
Take, for example, this one by Yonmac. It shows that you don't really need to do much with the current New Vegas art to turn out a decent cover:

Let's see some more!
 
**(bonus points go to the covers that actually credit the correct developer, unlike the official box art)

This one above looks very generic to me.

I think it's better than the one Bethesda has released if only for the fact that Bethesda has reused the same image millions of times already. The NCR soldier with the Vegas backdrop was interesting when it was first released, but it's been way overplayed.

But I'll guess thats how it was planned. Getting the image into the heads of the people, so they will remember it later. Same as with the power armor in Fallout 3. You saw the brotherhood dude the first time and then again and again and in the end he was on the cover.

The original one looks too much like Rainbow Six: Vegas for my liking.

I like that one in the header simply because Obsidian's name is actually on it.

Agree with the above comments. I'm finding it inneresting how the thought of giving Obsidian credit on the front is common amungst these kinds of fallout communities (drunks and cigarette smokers) since the initial box art reveal. It's like, even those who trash Fallout 3 and onwards think that some of our Black Isle guys deserve this spotlight. awwwwwww you guys are so cute!

What makes me laugh, is when I put Obsidian on the front of the cover, I wasn't trying to make a statement, I didn't even notice the official box art cover didn't have Obsidian on it until it was mentioned here. I just put it on thinking it was common sense

No, it's clearly Bethesda that deserves the spotlight! You're right Macky! Now go back to fucking your cripple and producing hordes of retards.

I think they put the power armor on 3 because they wanted to keep it like 1 and 2. Not to actually point out power armor.
