Best opening sequence.

And Super Smash Brothers Melee. I used to LOVE that opening sequence.

[Drauden]

Assassin's Creed 2, while not technically an opening sequance.
The part where you and your brother climbs to the top of the tower for the first time, and the music starts playing and the title appears. That one was pretty epic.

This game was amazing. I still remember the Milkman Conspiracy as one of the funniest moments in gaming history.

How has this not been mentioned?

Without a shadow of a doubt, the opening to Dawn of War II. It is too awesome to be legal.

"I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOU"​

Seconded. That Intro made me run to the store to buy it.

It was high quality render and terrific voice acting. The Dreadnought was epic.

 

[Tenkage]

Its a Tie for me

Fallout 3's opening (once I think about it, any of the Fallout Trio's opening is good)

and Final Fantasy 8's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd5KLb7RQjE

I mean it is so awesome from beggining to end. and it even had awesome swordfighting, how cool is that!

Forget games.

Reservoir Dogs intro:

 

[Dfskelleton]

Either of these.

 

[natster43]

Hard to choose. Here are the ones I liked the most.
Dead Rising's intro. Taking the photos of the town.
Crackdown 2's intro. After getting through the training and seeing Cell attack the Agency Tower, flying over the streets of Hope Springs and seeing all of the chaos.
Battlefield Bad Company 2's intro. The WW2 mission.

 

[Requi3m]

How come all Warhammer intro's are so good?

Toss-up between Oblivion's spectacular prerendered visual with "Reign of the Septims" in all its orchestral glory...or something a little more old-school:

Nostalgia just hit me like a right hook, seriously FF6 was my favourite game on the PS1 and the first final fantasy game I played. Final fantasy then got me into RPGs and RPGs transformed me into a massive gamer, so if you think about it, without this game I wouldn't be posting on this website right now ^_^

OT: I'd say GTAIV had a pretty understated intro -- which was awesome because it set the tone of the whole game. The same with Red Dead Redemption: the underwhelming introduction set the tone, set the theme, and yet still managed to be awesome.


Redemption was an amazing intro. And, oh, that piano music at the start as well. I gotta hand it to Rockstar -- they do know how to make an intro that gets you psyched to play the game![/quote]

agreed. but for some reason, the person who made this thread doesn't like GTAIV. perhaps that's because he wants to agree with yahtzee? or maybey it just wasn't his sort of game. oh well.

 

[Flamezdudes]

that was still boring for me. "Huray! now we can listen to some old NPC talk about his life! WOOT!"

Excuse me!? How dare you call Patrick Stewart "some old NPC"!

What confuses me, now that i completed the game is:

Spoiler

Why did they get off a boat when John's home is near Blackwater and the Agents live in Blackwater? Where did they come from?

 

[phoenix_tetsu]

Bioshock is pretty amazing, FF VI and Metal Gear Solid

 

[MasterV]

A Link to the Past's opening was pretty good.

 

[cheftacular]

I enjoy the Fallout series' openings with the "War, war never changes" speech, and I am looking forward to that speech and then getting shot in the face twice in Fallout: New Vegas.

I was going to type this but quoting exactly what you said was easier.

 

[Dango]

Now I can't be the only one who loves the Guilty Gear XX opening

It's just so cool.

 

[Shoqiyqa]

As usual, I'm gonna go with the D-Day sequence from MOH: Frontline.

You mean this?
