What does the audience of this community think the most unique or original weapon in any video game is? Well, I believe it is the Portal Gun from Portal. State your opinions in this thread; provide information about the weapon, why it is unique, what game it is from. Hell, even throw a picture of it if you really feel the need to.
yeah probably portal gun, but also if you think about it, using a flower as a weapon in the first mario game it appeared in was oddly original...
Would biotics(phycic powers from a special implant) count from Mass Effect. The floating enemy in the pic is floating from the biotics. If thats not good
This is a tough one. I couldn't agree with the portal gun because it's not so much a weapon as it is a tool. I could get behind the Fire Flower idea, though. Uh... I want to say the Zero-Point Energy Manipulator (Gravity Gun) from Half-Life 2, but I don't know if it's more tool or weapon. And if it's too much "tool", then the Shrink Ray from Duke Nukem 3D. Stepping on tiny versions of your enemies was always great.
Ironic, because I am playing Mass Effect right now. I do not think Biotics are original because they are kind of derived from Jedi Power from the Star Wars canon.
Yeah thats true but its funny firing a shotgun at an enemy stuck in biotics they go flying if you have the right upgrades.
i would have to say the gravity gun as well... besides, for anybody who has used "Garry's Mod", the sky is the limit on unique and original weapons.
Although probably not the most unique, the Chainsaw in Doom was the first of its kind. Its just a blast to rip through people/monsters with it. And it helped inspire future titles. If not that, I don't know if this is classified as a weapon but The Plasmids of Bioshock. Some of which are very odd and even pointless attributes they're still very unique nonetheless.
Needler. PK Thunder! Fire flower. Oddballs hat. The force. That gun in ratchet and clank that turns your enemys into savage, explosive ducks that fight for you. Most other guns in Ratchet and clank.
Gravity Bracelet from Time Splitters Future Perfect... actually most guns from that game... I agree with the fire flower though.
i would agree that most weapons from the ratchet and clank series. if not that the torque bow from gow.
I would say, the rocket pistol. You guy's probably don't know about it yet, but it's out of Borderlands. The one that's going to have a total of 500,000 weapons in it. No joke.
Okay, this is going back a ways, but does anyone remember the South Park game for Nintendo 64? There was a ray gun that made you drop your weapon and sing. Yes, sing. It was hilariously annoying. There was also a chicken that when you squeezed it, shot eggs at your enemy. Another solid weapon right there. Actually, that whole game wins in the "odd weapons" catagory. You threw snowballs you peed on at people...awesome. I want this game again. Annnd here is a pic to refresh some people's memories:
AS14 Hammer - A automatic shotgun (Saints row 2) Splaser - A anti you and your passanger weapon (Halo 3) Redeemer - A portable computer that fires a nuke and you can controll where it goes (Unreal Series) Tea Cup - A good ol' cup of tea! (Chronicles of Riddick, I no its a movie) Gravity gun - you can pick up **** and throw **** with this awesome **** (Half Life 2) Garden Gnome - It can not only book cheaper vacations, you can bash someone to death with it (Saints Row 2) Shark Gun - Shoots ****ing sharks at you man you are ****ing screwed (Armed and dangerous I think) Spider mine - K so this little trap deploys little 4 legged spiders with drills on the bottom of them and they explode (Unreal Tournament 3) And thats all i got. The most original I will have to give to is the AS14 Hammer, I mean like go to forge, and get 12 people with shotguns to fire at one 1 spot with .30 second intrevals. That = AS14 Hammer
Well I am going to back up my decision of why I think the Portal Gun is the most unique weapon in the gaming industry. The device itself affects the environment of which you are in drastically which is incredible if one thinks about it. This portal creator changes the physics of a wall or floor in the video game. The very idea of this would sound far-fetched if it were brought up a decade ago. When I first played Portal I was flabbergasted by the fact of what the Portal Gun's main motive was.
The plasmids from bioshock are original. But the Portal Gun is prablably the most original and coolest. Though the portals make no sense on the game just about. I don't get it.....
