Favourite Title Screen?

[Editos]

Ok so I picked up God of War 3 the other day. After firing it up I realised how sexy the title screen is with Kratos' angry face sneering and seething with rage. It reminded me of another title screen that gave me the goosebumps which was Hitman: Contracts. That was just 47 sat in a window, sniper rifle at the ready in the middle of a thunderstorm with some epically moody music in the background.

Anyone have any particular favourites? Kind of an odd thing to like I know

 

[Tuddle]

Metal Gear Solid 3

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

Metroid prime, easily. Or the original Pokémon games.

Edit: Oh yeah, MGS2 and 3. Awesome.

 

[Acidwell]

For me its deus ex, the logo is pretty cool and the music just makes it.

 

[ineedscissors]

Probably Metal Gear Solid 4

 

[TheLazyKnight]

Metal Gear Solid 3

Definitely MGS3's. Changeable fight scene? Count me in.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

I adored the Metal Gear Solid 2 Title Screen. Hit R2 (or R1 one or the other), and BLAM! Love it.

Calumon: I love my Title. Calumon, saver of the Digimon!

I was always pretty fond of the one from LoZ:OoT.

 

[Sky Captanio]

I like Infamous.

"Press Start." Beep. *Explosion*

I quite like the Half-Life 2 et al. ones that change depending on the level you were on the last time you saved.

First time I saw the title sceen, blew my mind. Loved HL2 ever since.

Also, Shadow of the Colossus menu. In game scenery in the background and only the howling of the wind. Bleak like the land itself. Fits perfectly.

And already mentioned, the MGS ones.

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

Because I love undead things and dragons, and that title screan has both in one... plus snow.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

I always loved the Chrono Trigger one. Beautiful music, and a simple pendulum and clock tick.
It was iconic for me, and even to this day when I pop in that old cartridge I always wait for the title screen to finish doing it's thing. EVERY TIME.

This one:

Spoiler

That song makes me cry.

 

[Kajt]

Heroes of Might and Magic V. A human priest fighting a giant demon; I've yet to see a better title screen than that.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

Mafia had a brilliant title screen, really atmospheric.

 

[AvsJoe]

The Worms: Armageddon title screen, hands down. Great little techno remix of their classic theme followed by a poem describing the war of the worms and the plight of Boggy B. I couldn't find the title screen on YouTube but I did find the theme and poem:If you haven't played then you are missing out on something awesome!

 

[ethaninja]

Hehe. Which Hitman was it where he is standing in mist holding a handgun? (I think it's a handgun anyway). Is that the second one? Or am I thinking of the one you just said.

OT: My favourite would have to be the new Silent Hunter. Just looking at the ocean with awesome music playing.

 

[reg42]

I thought the Jericho one was very good.

 

[bassdrum]

I like Infamous.

"Press Start." Beep. *Explosion*

Absolutely. On some basic level, it made me feel responsible for the explosion, and that was pretty awesome. The effect was pretty cool, and the first time I started the game, I wasn't really expecting it to happen. But it did, and it was good.
