Sex sells. Period. This is a concept that Japanese game publisher, Atlus, has really taken to heart with their new title, Catherine, from the acclaimed team who brought us the Persona series. Not only are these covers sure to make any fan of skimpy anime girls jump for joy but I think it appeals to just about any fan of laying with women. Unfortunately for us, it apparently only sells in Japan thanks to North America's RIDICULOUS propensity to embrace violence and shun sex. I'm sure by the time this game hits shelves in America (if it ever does) Catherine will look like a clean, innocent soccer mom who is bundled up for her holiday shopping. Hell, she will probably look like a bloody eskimo. Fingers are crossed.... Enjoy.
I have always appreciated the Japanese for their ability to produce great cover art (and art in general). This case seems no different. The tone and aesthetic feel of the game have been captured and the two covers differ enough to appeal to any collector. Congratulations Atlus, you just ensured that many fans will be picking up two copies of the game as opposed to one.
Now, if a miracle takes place and we not only get Catherine here in the states but we also get two versions of the cover art similar to the japanese versions, which version would you be picking up? Let's not kid ourselves, we all know what it comes down to...
I'm an ass man... I will be picking up the Xbox 360 version.
For all the ladies out there, I suppose you could just pick up the game based on it's gameplay merit...

Leaning towards the 360 cover as well.
...Assuming the cover art is left unaltered, should it make it over here.

Really Nick? You're that blinded by the ass that you're going against your time-honored tradition of always picking up the PS3 version? For shame.

Dat...dat COVER ART

The fact that Kathrine dosnt murder people in her dreams is a huge turn on for me, 360 cover it is.

i dont see any appeal in the 360 cover at all :|
not enough skin...

Not that either of them do anything for me in particular, though I do find them to be very nice pieces of art that would stand out amongst the crowd on a store shelf, as well as doing an exemplary job of conveying the initial premise of what we know so far about the game.
Both great in their own right, but I'd go for the PS3 version. Just due to the trivial fact that I fucking DESPISE the green Xbox cases, absolutely atrocious color theme. I'll stick to my sexy, sleek and compact looking PS3 cases, thanks.

I'm a Sony fan but.....the 360 version is way hotter... just saying

Compositionally, I find the PS3 version much more appealing to the eye. Seems much more fun and makes me want to jump in....-to the game.
I wish this was with sexy guys instead (I don't want shojo boys...). :/ But you know...THAT JAPAN.

They should make a Christian game that appeals to a female audience.
Otherwise people will freak out and spout shit like "THIS IS SEXIST. THIS IS A VERY BAD GAME."

The 360 cover definitely suits my taste. glasses AND ass?
Sold.
13 years, 12 months ago
Definitely love the 360 cover. I really hope these covers come over, but I doubt it. I can still hope though.
13 years, 12 months ago
I'm planning on getting the PS3 because I'm guessing it's the lead platform. As for which cover I think is better though,I'd give the edge to the PS3 version again. Having the titular (no pun intended) character on the box makes sense rather than Katherine with a "K".
If we wanna just cut through the bullshit and say which girl we'd rather bang,then my answer is BOTH,HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE.

Leaning more towards the 360 cover, but I wouldn't mind both ;)
13 years, 12 months ago
Gotta go with Sci I am a fan of the glasses and lean towards the Katherine cover for the 360
13 years, 12 months ago
I really hope this game is more interesting than what most people seem to think it is.
13 years, 12 months ago
360 cover all the way. Katherine looks so much better than Catherine.
But tbh, I'm probably going to be getting the game for the PS3, so.. D:
13 years, 12 months ago
I think I prefer the ps3 box art, I get the feeling that this might be because I like the wider image, the 360 art looks compressed to me and I don't like it.. however I am a fan of Katherine if I were to choose the female character for the case. I so hope this gets released within the UK!

I love both covers. Since I'm a PS3 guy,I'll be getting the PS3 version...but I'm also a glasses and ass kinda guy! D: Why couldn't the PS3 cover come with the glasses too? :(
13 years, 12 months ago
I'm leaning towards the PS3 version...

Yeah, America is fucking retarded in the sense that it adores violence in entertainment media while looking down on sex as a taboo. Personally, I think the gaming industry should be WAY past the point of censoring video game imports, so I'm hoping this video game will be left untainted after mere localization.
13 years, 12 months ago
Hmm...both of those are pretty cool, even though I have no interest in the game. I think I like the 360 one better.
13 years, 12 months ago
Nick, I am a bit insulted by your last remark. I know several bisexual and lesbian gamers. I'm sure the same (tittys or butt) delema applys to some of them too.
13 years, 12 months ago
If I had a PS3 I'd go for that version.
13 years, 12 months ago
Perky boobs = PS3
Ass + Glasses = 360
I'm the later. :D
13 years, 12 months ago
I like the PS3 but the Glasses on the X box cover....
13 years, 12 months ago
The Xbox cover wins: HANDS DOWN :)
13 years, 12 months ago
I'd go ass myself but man thats like oh I tripped and fell kind of look, not a oh ya like the PS3 version. Katherine also looks crazy as I've only seen her yelling with her O Face and her looking somewhat sorry or something in the faded background of the first picture? No idea.
13 years, 11 months ago
Are you guys just gonna get the Japanese version for the PS3 when it comes out, or are you gonna wait for it to maybe come out in the States?
13 years, 9 months ago
But Catherine is so cute on the PS3 cover.. ugh.
