: 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,
In the first EV game, there's a description for Tau Ceti that says it was first visited by the colony ship Marathon.
: 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').
The first Halo game had too many Marathon references to count. I still can't get over that the last mission was literally to blast a vent core.
