Sonic in the Flesh |
Ó
Writing an article about an actual pack shot for Sonic the Hedgehog is no easy task. In times like these, you're left feeling like a magician trying desperately to pull a rabbit out of a hat. The challenge lies in making something simple into something incredible.
A catchy title perhaps? Sonic in the Flesh. And then followed by a popular quote with no particular relevance to the game, but has the word in hedgehog in it. The Greek poet Archilochus once said "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing" suggesting a profound distinction between two kinds of artist or thinker. This technique will however put some people off, so as the article's saving grace, a quote from the person who took the photo is needed.
"Here is the actual package for Sonic for the PS3. Thank god they have that blue on top to easily distinguish between ps3 and ps2 games," says =Metallic-Force=. Enjoy.
Update:
As some of you have put it, the true test of a pack shot's legitimacy is a photograph of its back portion. There certainly isn't anything wrong for not immediately taking everything at face value. Completely understandable. So, to enforce his previous claim of the pack shot being legit (or of him being very good at photoshop), =Metallic-Force= has sent in a snapshot of the back portion of the Sonic the Hedgehog game.
Update 2: Two real sweet pictures of pre-release Sonic love isn't enough for you? Must you get inside and pick apart every aspect of the official box and artwork... just like everything else you see? We will let it slide just this once (since we do too). Luckly for our sake we don't have to go sneeking around in Sony's headquarters again... since they didn't much appriciate us there last time... so =Metallic-Force= has saved us the restraining order while providing us with a internal picture of Sonic the Hedgehog's Box, including the Instruction Manual and Disk. Thanks for these great centerfolds =Metallic-Force=, now if only we could find a way to curb our excitement until the PS3's release.

jesus u r so gullable he probs just got a blu ray movie and printed out the box art tada!!
thats what i was thinking #1, although it does look quite real.
cool article by the way
ya.....idiots!
cool
Someone did what #1 said or they tried to use photoshop (The hues and shades on Sonic don't look right at all to me. It looks like a digital photo was superimposed onto another digital photo. There is no glare or anything. Oh, and there is no other photo from any other direction.)
Yeah you guys are in soo much denial. Ps3 games production already started.
thats awesome(if its real). im glad because when i saw the printout i thought it would say PLAYSTATION 3 on the side of the case(like where it says the name on them now).
Show a pic of the back of the box, I bet they cant because well, ITS FAKE!
Brian, you want me to shut you up?
With all honesty, Iam not some one who works for Sega to easily obtain this.
Look where the game is, its on the ground, the neon lights are high to my left.
What about the disc?
Show it please
The back version has very poor photoshopped.
Look carefully the gap from side and back of this case.
Esp the side have no AA, and the colours are too strong.
Why do you think this is fake? The PS3 is almost released. So it would make sense to release games soon... don't you think? If you don't understand something just ask ok. I am sure there are plenty of smart people on here that will be willing to help you out some instead of you coming on here and proving the fact that you don't know what you are talking about in a hostile way.
The only thing that DOESN'T make sense about the blue bar on top is that NOT ALL PS3 games will be Blu-Ray.
Some will be DVD's, so what about those games?
CHUCKINGROCKSAT SPACESHIPS
I\'m really looking forward PS3 very much. So you don\'t have worry about that.
Anyway, TRUST ME it is fake (I\'m deaf guy with very sharp eyes)
It\'s all cos the back version it has a red gap on the side which it was suppose a red cover from one of the released blu-ray movie.
Pretty please check before you post. Thanks :)
where's the online option on the back? They said this game will be online, what happened???
On the PS2, it will say something like...
[Online: Ethernet Broadband or Analog Modem Required]
Something that HINTS that it will have Online. But, that doesn't show anything.....
I don't know, this seems fishy.... :(

These photos are a bad photoshop job.
For those with Firefox and the Image Zoom, zoom in and notice that this was obviously put onto of an existing blu-ray box.
Bye Bye picture.
ok HERES the disk you *****ing retards
and hmmm ALL PS3 GAMES WILL BE ON BLU RAY, IT IS GOING TO BE THE BEST *****ING SYSTEM OF ALL TIME
http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/363/sonicps3insidelr6.jpg
The pic of the disc doesn't seem to work...
So this IS the box art adopted by PS3 eh? I see. Well, it's not cluttered atleast. It's got the 'Playstion 3 logo' on the side with just teh ESRB logo and developer name in the pic. Blu -ray is on the actual case, not bad.
Who cares. We will see soon enough. Just copy the pic and and see when it's released.
But I wanna know now.... now now now!
I have good eyes too. I used to quality control microprint for checks. I don't see anything wrong with the picture above. If anyone REALLY sees anything wrong without blowing out crap then tell me.
It doesn't look AS bad as I thought it would in final form...but still...I hate the blu-ray box...
You guys are ****ING ***
WHY DON'T YOU ALREADY ACCEPT THAT THIS IS THE REAL ****ING THING!!!!
****ing idiots!!!
There are no glare or shadows.
I didn't realise how your guys that so dumb.
Please don't be dumber cos we want to be more honest PS3 fanboys.
Due Metallic-Force is panic and remove the link. What a lame and not very PS3 fanboy.
CHUCKINGROCKSAT SPACESHIPS - I have already told twice where the error.
If you have saved all the pictures - check the back version. It is very easy to see this Sonic art box onto of an existing blu-ray movie box because on the side which not cover all (red with white particular letters)
Metallic-Force,
Grow up, be more professional. No need to flame. You have made the frontpage, but I realise what you really are.
Come on Sony fanboys, we need to more teamwork and fight those geeky xbox fanboys
Even I have to admit thats a fake. For the disc picture, you'll notice everything including the case has glares here and there, but the booklet and disc do not. Doesn't really add up well. Still its a pretty good concept type of thing that kind of gives us all a clue to what it may look like.
took the words right out of my mouth.
look at the bottom left corner when veiwed at full res. you will see that the sonic cover sticks out about an eight inch out from the bottom left corner, that and theres no rounding at the corners as the plastic that holds the covers usualy produce.
can you upload the images somewhere else... coz all i see is a frog...
( oh and i believe you
I think this is a pretty good conecpt.
Wow I made everyone jump there.
This is purely a concept, you guys are disgusting.
I wanted to see how everyone would react, I wanted to piss you guys of to a limit and really all I could see you in you guys was just childish.

"I wanted to see how everyone would react, I wanted to piss you guys of to a limit and really all I could see you in you guys was just childish."
Never heard that line before. Nope. You sir, are a real prankster. ::rolls eyes::.
when ever thares a photoshop job, everyone always says "its a bad photoshop job" why do you say bad? its not bad! its good dam it! cause it's just somones blu-ray movie box with a home made paper inset, so if it was a photoshop job it looks dam good
what about these picture what lolol checj it out!!
http://www.vgboxart.com/browse/title/5379/
yet another article about absolutely nothing! This site is a complete laughing stock now. I just come here for a laugh. There are so many pathetic articles its almost embarrasing. Every now and then we get a gem but usually its filled with this worthless slop! Cant wait for someone to post there blog on a PS3 constructed from used tampons! Please people we can do so much better than this. Oh and metallic force get a proper hobby perhaps interior decorating cause the floor you took the photo on is F**cking vile! Ha ha :)
I think this is one of the best made concepts ever made, that is if it is a fake and not real.
Who ever did this is a genious, please people, if you think this was a bad concept, why don't you make better?
=Metallic-Force=, or who ever did this, I respect you.
I think I can make one of those photos too. maybe ill post mines on this site too
Told you it was fake.

It does look convincing and it seems people don't get that PS3 games are going to be on Blu-ray discs. Come on iceatcs get a grip. Who really cared if it was fake or not. I just can't wait to play a Blu-ray version of Sonic. That going to be cool.
A good photoshop job can't be recognised.
I could look at this and immediatly tell it was photoshop.
All we have on here are a bunch of stupid ass kids with their half-ass opinions. Who cares if it is fake or not. You're pretty much going to get something that look similar to that. I hope the PS3 comes with a heavy price tag so that it would become virtually impossible for your parents to decide whether or not if they should drop three of their paychecks for it. Go ahead, keep dreaming. The PS3 will arrive in your household in about three years. Right now, only the ones with the cash will be able to afford it. So go back on your G-Unit game and Halo 2 and shut the hell up.

@ # 50.
Yeah I'm sure that's why the PS2 launched for $550 (and higher) in Europe and STILL sold out completely.
I was a 16 year old jobless student and... *gasp* I still managed to pick it up at launch.
***** You, how the ***** do you know whether we are kids or not? You are so perfect aren't you. You try to make other people feel like ***** because you are *****. I am sick and tired of people like you. You piece os dog *****.

Good find Disaster.
THE LINK DOES NOT WORK.
The picture of someone holdong the box in thier hand looks really fake.
I used Firefox on google and IE on yahoo and still it says that it can't be found.
Scavenger hunt.
Just highlight then drag up to your address bar.
What search engine you using?
nevermind, it's real, haha. It looks really good.
I really should send them all.
Uhh, =Metallic-Force= didn't take these, I did
Just copy and paste it.
I copied and pasted it and it showed on google that it could not locate. Also I did the same thing on yahoo. Are you guys screwing around or something because I have tried many times and no luck and don't insult me, I know how to copy and paste.

I use firefox. It sounds like you're dragging it to your search bar. You need to drag it to your address bar. Sorry, if I'm wrong. Don't mean to insult your intelligence.
This is the pic I am talking about in Box #60

You are copying and pasting into the search bar. You have to paste http addresses into your address bar but I think you know this and you are just messing around with us.
Good one metallic-force, I wonder what movies you used?
