I’ve noticed this trend with modern games that favors this boring and bland look with white text instead of stylized and interesting cover/title art that reflect the game. When did this become the standard? This sucks!

I will ask you for Aperture science reasons to shove a lemon up your arse.
You could also look at companies who are not doing this..
But also if you think life is giving you lemons.
You now know what to do 🙂
Design trends come and go.
Usually some hot shot goes around showing his success with his art style. Then everyone copies them for a bit until the next trend starts.
Yeah, it’s a corporate kill-off move.
It’s like company logos being switched to bland, boring, and flat bullshit. Pringles being one of dozens.
Enjoy! And remember: They hate you.
The new saints row fit the new look
They changed the original Dead Island logo. The ‘I’ in Island was stylised to look like a hanged man but they had to censor it lol
Dead Space Remake is actually the best & good improvement over Classic Dead Space 2008. I loved both games in their time.
Cos its easy to read.
Also I think you are cherry picking. Go to the other reddit thread with games coming out 2023. [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/11gwbuy/we_made_it_through_february_what_new_games_will/)
And if you look at the cover arts most have design in it and arent just white text or its cos there is a stark contrast which again helps in readability imo.
What a dumb post. You’re making up something to get mad at. Sure there are a lot of games that have that, but no where near enough to be called the standard. There plenty of new games with unique title fonts
The cover for the original dead space simply amazing. The new cover art for the remake looks generic
Market research.
And the reality is that simplicity sells.
And you can bet your ass that a lot of corporations don’t give a flying fuck how “good” something looks subjectively, when the research is telling them it’ll make them more money.
They’d put a big fat turd on the cover if they were told it would sell.
Wow, really prefer the latters in this pic.
Dead Island may not have been that good but that cover art is superb.
Movies have been doing this too, their version is the “Let’s have everyone stand on top of each other trying to look epic” pose.
People have dialed back on the power point fonts as well… I bet there is a correlation.
It’s cleaner, less busy, and doesn’t feel like they’re trying as hard to appeal to the black hoodie, always-have-the-hood-up edgelords that those covers were designed to appeal to originally.
I dig it, tbh.
I think they look great?
Bruh do you not see the dead body hanging from the tree in Dead Island’s title? Or the dark space in Dead space’s? Your making up stuff to be mad at then using examples that don’t even accurately portray what your mad at.
Bro literally picked 3 boring text arts as opposed to looking at what else is coming out/ is already out
Oh look, a gamer who’s complaining.
Anyway
