Alright, here's my thing for the Think Outside the Box Challenge, and since I didn't have any other ideas, I went with Fallout 4. Now, I'll let this be clear, I don't like Fallout 4. I think it removed so much stuff from the previous games that made them as good as they were, that felt like a lesser version of those previous games but made allegedly for the next generation (I say allegedly because it looks like an early 360 title). Game opinions aside, here's what I've made. As you can probably tell from the presentation, I tried to go for an old advertisement sort of feel, with a bit of a vintage look (like most of my stuff recently, come to think about it). I'm not really that sure if it looks good or not, so I'll just let you be the judge of that.
Anyways, as always, constructive criticism is welcome, and huge thanks to TheTombRaider for his help and feedback on the forums, it's greatly appreciated. I might have rushed a bit on uploading this one, so if you see anything that needs fixing feel free to point it out, and I'll try to update this as soon as possible. Also, credit to Ausman101 for the Bethesda logo, and Titan38 for the ESRB rating.
In theory, the game would be located in the widest part of the bottle, so you could pretty much imagine that this box is very big. I know, sounds extremely illogical and combersome if this was a real thing, but oh well.
@Sarashi Lest we forget, this is trying to be a box in the shape of a bottle, not an actual bottle in which the game is located in, although that would be quite funny.
You just have to pour some of the Fallout 4 into your PC's hard drive, wait, watch your PC going ape sh*t for a while, and then you could probably play the game
Just wait 'till the Game of the Year Edition a.k.a. 10 liter bootle
Awesome, but those screenshots bother me for some reason... maybe because they aren't warped to go along with the curvature of the box? Great job Frank.
I think the concept is pretty cool, but the execution isn't fully there. I think you still need to play around with the way the text and pictures wrap around the bottle. Otherwise, it reads as a flat object considering how flat the bottle is itself. However, design wise this is very fitting for Fallout. Great job.
Thanks, Lucid! Making it flat was the idea I had at first, considering that it would be just a box in the shape of a bottle, but I might modify the perspective of the text and the images to make it seem a bit like they're curved and that it feels like an actual bottle. Again, thanks for the feedback! :D
Fun idea and nice presentation. Although I can dig the art style and typography, i'm not really feeling this one (in terms of the bland color scheme and packaging issues) maybe I'm a bit harsh, idk?
Fan-fucking-tastic. Bethesda just released their DLC plans as well so I'm very hyped to play the game again. You captured the fallout themes really well.
New box, I guess!

@FrankBedbroken maybe have like a download code on the inside of the cap or something idk man haha
[ Reply ]
@Paper That would probably the dumbest thing from a business standpoint I've ever heard. It's great!
Although, wasn't there a special edition of a game that came with a bundle of crap but not the actual physical game?

This box is in the PC section. So it runs on PC!

@Higashi89 Or you could drink the bottle and live the game yourself. Now that's some immersion right there.
[ Reply ]
@FrankBedbroken but you gonna pee the game later, and then buy another copy of Fallout 4
Jesus christ fuck the capitalism

I understand why you have them the way they are, though.
[ Reply ]
Thanks, Martin! :D I'm pretty unsure about that whole area as well, so maybe I should change it?

[ Reply ]
@WANDERLEI SILVA nope
[ Reply ]
@WANDERLEI SILVA i'm pretty sure google translate doesn't add random brackets at the end of each word but alright
[ Reply ]
Alright, minor update, the screenshots on the back now fit to the shape of the bottle itself. Thanks to Martin for the suggestion! :)
[ Reply ]
I looooooove it! Vintage, retro, grungey, etc. art is my favourite, and the idea of the bottle is so unique. Amazing job, Franco! :D

Well, I actually spoke too soon, I can't seem to pull off the effect well. It just ends up looking too blurry and too distorted. Sorry. :/
