Evangelion assets uh licensed?

You can't be serious.
Which pack was this thing bought from?
Animations is one thing, but this gotta be straight up copyright infringement
Evangelion is not some obscure enthusiast cartoon, it's transformers levels of well known across the world.
Did you license official collaboration to use this model in your game?
This is not a reference, this is DMCA.

not only is it the spear, itself.

Ever heard of history and mythology? Manga Wiki really? This Bident is ceremonial weapon from mythology... Manga first borrowed her appearance from greek mythology and name from crucifixion of Jesus (Lance of Longinus, Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear, is the lance that is alleged to have pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross).

aint even the fact it's the spear...it's how it's used in game.

it's basicly watching eva.

Inspiration from Mythology, History is very common. Inspiartion from Berserk manga in games From Software...

Only Eva

Ever heard of inspiration? Not everything is a direct rip off, maybe they wanted to put an Eva reference...

[Caulfield]

It's just a twirly bident. If anything it is more homage than theft, i feel like people start to gettin paranoid with this stolen assets thing. At this rate they will ask for the dual katanas to be removed cause in Nioh 2 some katanas look like those of the game... The pose of Artorias in Dark Souls Artorias of the abyss DLC is litteraly the iconic pose of Guts from the manga Berserk and nobody bats an eye. It was just an homage, like this twirly bident.

[Outsider]

It's exact the same shape as the one from eva.
It's not "just twirly bident" or "inspiration".
It's 1-to-1 copy. With specific edges, angles and proportions.
You can't be seriously defending this.

[Caulfield]

... yeah you are right after careful analysis it is exactly the same. I'm sure they meant it as an homage but guys... When you pay homage to something, change it a little bit. It is difficult to defend the copy/paste.

dude its a red intertwined set of spears. sure its distinctive and iconic but its like saying the look of the dragonslayer cant be replicated in other games. it can and its not that big of a deal

[tintilicmaliq]

You people are such clowns.
This is like reading how stuff like having iron maidens in Dark Souls was taken from Berserk because it obviously couldn't have been taken from anywhere else, just manga or anime or another Japanese game because that's the only thing you people would know.

[Outsider]

Inspiration != copying.
All dragon slayer references in From Software games have proportions and design details different from the source material.
This thing is not different, even how spiral goes and how blades are formed are identical.
If you could just dismiss copying as inspiration, copyright law wouldn't exist.

Identical weapon you find in greek mythology - read with understanding...

[Outsider]

Show me the picture of that identical weapon.
Let's see if the shape of blades, and proportions of spiral are also identical to Eva's spear design.

the thing is its not, there are multiple models and designs of the same weapon because it was a simplistic concept that was converted into several different models
