: To be honest, most of these feel more like coincidences than consciously-made
: references. If you showed me these pics out of context, I wouldn't be able
: to tell you what was being "referenced" (aside from the Sonic
: Forces one, which I think was supposed to be a DBZ scouter, not an ocular
: implant).
: In terms of stuff I'd believe were deliberate refs, there's some of the art
: from Ferazel's Wand, mention of Robert Blake somewhere in one of the
: Escape Velocity games, and the story bits of Shadow Wraith's manual
: clearly taking cues from Marathon (you're even told to "find a
: terminal" for Prometheus to contact you at next). There's pretty
: clear use of the Marathon emblem in that one No Man's Sky picture on this
: site. And of course, other Bungie games had some nods to the series (ex.
: Halo's Traxus Heavy Industries, Misriah Armory, and reuse of the term
: 'MJOLNIR').
Not to mention the constant Marathon glyphs. Sorry I forgot to header each image after DUSK, but by the time I realised that, it was already posted, as I'd been explaining the the other ones at the time and was rushing to get it done.
I'll need to check escape velocity and Shadow Wraith too at some point. Thank you. :)
