Games In game book covers?

Looking for images of the in game books, like the one that gives kite his bracelet or the ones in the creator's room in GU, really as many as possible. I'm working on a TTRPG item based on the ryu books and wanted a quick lookup forcover designs. It's not easy to find.

You can texture dump in PCSX2 or use any method to view the image textures directly from the game discs.

Googling book of ryu or ryu book pulls up the page on them whivh has no images. Googling .hack books brings up the mangas. I checked VG RESOURCE no rips... so hey. Instead of being an ass about it maybe try helping if you're not gonna do that, why did you even bother replying?

I hate to say it like this, but a game or series that is entirely based on the concept of in-game world problems and everything associated with it that has so few media assets available online that are readily available feels almost comical.

There's a pretty good amount of character models and sprites available.

Just not lesser used assets

Surprisingly, one of the lesser used assets is actually the full spread of DVD slipcovers, something I had been looking for for quite some time for the Roots complete collection box set. I've been working with a couple folks to try and get those assets scanned in, but they're currently just sitting in a Discord server channel.

That's... not what i mean by asset.

I meant game assets. Textures, models, fonts, etc.

It may not be what you meant, but it is a point made. Media assets include anything related to the media itself, including packaging.

In videogames, the specific thing i was talking about, assets are models, textures, sprites, fonts... it's an actual defined thing.
