homage items

[synge32]

You may think I'm weird, these two weapon similarities kinda crossed my mind just now...

Dice looks a lot like Nazrin's dowsing rod weapons (look, she's even using duals):



And also, just end of Imperial reminds me of the end of Flandre Scarlet's Lævateinn:



If any of you happen to know where these characters are from, then I salute you!

This is great, I love the unique finds, it may not actually relate, but who cares, close enough, I love that she's duel wielding!

[Jest3er]

I reckon we need a grimsever, just for those skyrim fans

[Jest3er]

What about A weapOn that charged magic/super attacks faster with every hit?

[Bloodshadow]

Is Frostbite supposed to be a reference to Frostmourne? They look kind of similar and such.

[ElPared]

we need the pick from Minecraft too

[iForge]

I think some of you guys are overthinking this.....
By the way, iForge, he means the Norse God, not Halo.

yeah, i know, I just thought I'd throw it out there

[slapper9]

A homage to Conan's broadsword would also be nice in next IB..

[Bloodshadow]

The ring Kward may be a reference to Green Lantern, as the IB1 manual describes it as a "yellow ring of power" (even though the ring itself is completely white >.>). These rings are called power rings in Green Lantern, and it has a planet called Qward.

Some ideas:

Lantern (Ring)
$430,000
35000 XP to master
+ 15 Shield
Shield 7
Light 5
Poison 5
Looks like a Green Lantern ring, with its logo missing or replaced by the Infinity Blade logo.

Hallow (Ring)
$82,000
17000 XP to master
Heal 4
Dark 4
Diamond gem slot
Looks like the Resurrection Stone on Marvolo Gaunt's ring, from Harry Potter; the name is because the stone is one of the three Deathly Hallows. The stone itself has a diamond shape, so the ring has a diamond gem slot.

Gryffin (Light)
$300,000
8500 XP to master
+ 200 Attack
+ 50 Fire
Circle gem slot
Looks like Gryffindor's sword from Harry Potter. Circle gem slot because the sword has an egg-sized ruby on its hilt.

Sword of Masters (Light)
$480,000
12000 XP to master
+ 300 Attack
+ 150 Light
Light gem slot
Triangle gem slot
Looks like the Master Sword from Zelda.

Buster (Light)
$700,000
20000 XP to master
+ 475 Attack
Square gem slot
Circle gem slot
Circle gem slot
Looks like the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII.

OMG TOUHOU
Nazrin: TOUHOU 12: Unidentified Fantasic Object (Stage 1)
Flanders Scarlet: TOUHOU 6: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil (Extra Stage)
I don't think "Dice" is even close to be Nazrin's Dual Square thing (I don't know what it's called in game)

Anyway, really interesting thread here!

[ElPared]

I'd love to see some MTG references in IB. Worldslayer? Sword of the Meek? Obsidian Battle-Axe? Umezawa's Jitte? all would be cool

There is a fine line between homeage and plagiarism

[gerabubble]

cool observation. rings alone is a thread on its own lol

[raygrid]

There would be if plagiarism was applicable. Copyright and Trademarks on the other hand....

Orcan-LOTR

Wow...I've seen Orcan so many times but never made the connection. Though I'm pretty sure that's an Uruk-Hai sword, not an Orc's.

[bug7897]

I'm pretty sure Dice is Kabal's swords from Mortal Kombat. No, I'm absolutely sure.

definitely Kabal's swords. I like that idea a little better haha hmm, I wonder if Shao Khan's hammer, or maybe Noob's Troll Hammer, is one of the weapons? I'd also love to see Kitana's fans as one too

[bug7897]

Her fans would be a good dual weapon.

[raygrid]

Orcist is Thoran Oakenshield's sword. AKA Goblin-Cleaver and Biter

Yes an Uruk-Hai

[ElPared]

Orcist is Thoran Oakenshield's sword. AKA Goblin-Cleaver and Biter

lol, I forgot it was called Biter. Reminds me of Theon Greyjoy's horse Smiler

[king_arthur]

Ladyfinger = Snakesword (Ivy's weapon in Soul Calibur)

An item referencing the Sorting Hat would help too! And maybe even the Elder Wand as a Light weapon?

[bug7897]

Oh, I can't believe I haven't seen this before. This isn't really an item more so a reference. The monstrosities known as "Wretches" in IB2 look very similar to the Wretches in the Gears of War series. Since Chair is a subsidiary of Epic this becomes even more likely that it's on purpose. I first noticed it on the "naked" Wretches. Maybe everyone noticed this before and maybe I'm just stupid haha.

Actually no, it's never been mentioned (well, first time I've seen this mentioned), this is why this a great thread. I know I have never played GoW and would have never realized this. There is alot on this thread that I would have never known.
