Favorite game intro?

[CrashBang]

Kingdom Hearts. I get chills of excitement every time I hear 'Simple And Clean' kicking in

 

[HandsomeZer0]

Either dragon valor or chrono trigger would be high on the list.

The first medievil wins hands down though, for the game intro to the menu and the opening cinematic.
Nothing like seeing a sorcerer awakening the dead, and witnessing your own death again before given a second chance at life.

 

[Jakub324]

Gears of War (both of them) or Killzone (1 or 2).

 

[HumpinHop]

Really Escapist? No love for the classics?

 

[Poopster]

My favorite intro!

 

[Rodrigo Girao]

Some 16-bit goodness.





And, in contrast... X-Men 2: Clone Wars had the most unsettling intro: a cold open. You started playing as soon as you turned on the console. Not even a title screen until you beat the first level!

 

[Aerduin]

The Witcher.

 

[Hugleikur]

[Mod Edit: Fixed that for you.]

 

[JaceArveduin]

I'm going to say this one
Every time I see it, thing's must die.

 

[LuckyClover95]

Hmmmm, I like inFamous's gameplay intro. As for cinematic, does the car journey bit in Modern Warfare count? You can move his head...
Fallout 3, also.

 

[Esotera]

My favourite one. If I ever come across a spare billion or two, I'm definitely building something like that.

 

[CorvusFerreum]

Any Total War since Rome had a great intro.

Also Dawn of War. And yeah... Dawn of War. Kinda nonsens but fucking sweet.

 

[GrimSheeper]

I have to agree on Homeworld and Fallout 2, but my favourite will forever be X - Beyond the Frontier, simply for how powerful this game was, going from usually only watching my father play the games and having an ancient greenscreen only game console to playing a real, full-sized game with the scale and depth of a 4X space simulation like X, it was sheer magnificence.

 

[C95J]

Either Fallout 3, Oblivion, or New Vegas. All 3 intros are brilliant.

 

[astrav1]

Either FF VIII, or SoulBlade. Blazblue was also good.

 

[Ash_VaultGirl]

Fallout 3 intro. It's beautiful

I would have to agree here, it's the most memorable one for me in a long time.

 

[LadyRhian]

Civilization 4


I also love this remixed version of Baba Yetu (the menu music)

 

[CaptainTrilby]

Really Escapist? No love for the classics?

I see your Melee and raise you a Brawl


as well as everyone's favourite simian based collect 'em up
