Why did my thread about references get deleted? I made a new OP picture for this. So you can't say it's spam or low effort.
I'm okay with my thread descending into the archive because it died, honestly.
>>749056590Also Mecha Sonic in Sonic 2 get's his mono eye from Zeon Mobile Suits
>>749057482It also had a big MS on it because of MechaGodzilla. But I think that was only in concept art.
>>749057574Yup
The only Non-Sonic thing I have is this, the image doesn't show it well but Blues/Protoman gets his whistle gimmick from Saburo/Hakaider But I guess Saburo does it to mirror Jiro/Kikaider who plays his theme on his guitar whenever he appears
>>749058250Isn't the plot of the GBA Zero games the same as that one Hakaider movie?
>>749058250I'd like to add that Mega Man references alot of old anime and tokusatsu shows but I don't know all of them for sure and I'm more of a Mega Man Xfag>>749058364So I've heard... but I haven't see it yet and I wanna read the Kikaider manga before I watch the Hakaider movie
>>749056590I think people get so hung up on the concept that every new thing needs to be original that it drives them into seeing everything as meaningless. The reality is that almost everything is referencing something else, whether it's a reference to another piece of media or something from the real world. Even world renowned classics do this. Whining about similarities ind designs only stifles art and creativity in our culture if not outright damages the concepts. We should embrace people trying to iterate on concepts, mechanics, designs, art styles, etc instead of adopting the notion of defending brands. There is nothing wrong with seeing a game or design, and thinking "I want to make my own version of this thing that I like."

>>749057482i don't know why but votoms references always crack me up
>>749059184video games are always derivative, like nobody seriously looks there to find an original idea
>>749056590Vega/Bison gotta be my favorite because of how blatant it was, they really just wanted to put a guy from Rikioh in their game/
>>749060284>video games are always derivativeSo is art, music, movies, theater, literature, etc. It's stupid to make the claim that original ideas don't exist in videogames, obviously there are ideas that can only be expressed using an interactive medium.
>>749059184>>749060763i'm not sure if you're implying chronomon was inspired by konan but chronomon actually predates her manga debut by a year
>>749059197this is retarded
>>749063106Nah
There was a render of raiden and bladewolf doing the same pose, vanquish is basically a casshern videogame and it was meant to have a robot dog companion and one of megaman´s early concepts was just a chibi casshern
Quite some time ago, I saw a guy say Cutter Kirby was a Dragon Ball reference. I am not gonna argue against that, but that was a reference to Ultra Seven. So is Cutter Kirby an Ultraman reference? How do references that are chains work?
>>749059197Not the best movie, but the Axis shock sequence really makes up for all of it.>>749063106Char's Counterattack is a seminal work in anime history, it's basically imprinted in the subconscious of that generation's otaku.
>>749063787Kid Chi chi was the ultraman reference
>>749063218>Diamond Weapon>QubeleyI think it's supposed to be Devil Gundam
>>749063994Yeah, and if Cutter Kirby is a Chi Chi reference, is he also a Seven reference? I'm curious about this kind of thing. If you're referencing a reference, what are you truly referencing?
>>749060763Pro artists are actually given references of existing things whenever they're asked to design something for games, shows, etc.If you start work for a dev who tells you to draw things out of thin air, slap them in the face.
>>749059184To be fair there was a time were VG companies didn't gave a fuck and would put spider-man or devilman as a boss in their game
