Doesn't halo 2 start with you getting out of cryogenic sleep only to have your space station under attack?
Stolen Pixels #203: While You Were Sleeping
- Thread starter Shamus Young
- Start date
I don't recall Cerberus being a terrorist organization so the Mass Effect 2 panel is incorrect. they never do anything terrorist like except fight for humanity.
Halo CE: woken from suspended animation because the Pillar of Autumn is under attack.
Halo 2: The Covenant interrupt your medal ceremony, which is ok because you didn't want to be there.
Halo 3: You fall from space and the UNSC find your body in the jungle. Which then wakes up.
Halo ODST: You crash your drop pod and wake up several hours AFTER everything in the story has already happened, and spend a few hours trying to figure out what went on while you were snoozing.
Presumably in Halo Reach you will crash your ship into the final boss during the opening cutscene, pass out for a thousand years, then wake up under a statue of yourself in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. When then blows up.

Well, this isn't a game but it predates most of those games-
The anime Blue Gender started off this way.
So did most of the Alien movies.
I think one could make the argument that FFX sortof started off this way. In the 'it was all a dream' sense. No underwear though.

In "The Experiment," a little known game out of what i believe was a UK developer, the main char. awakes to a seriously messed up scientific installation. Of course, the player is monitoring the charachter from behind a security camera, but since you don't know what the hell is going on either, it is basically the same thing.
Breath of Fire.
Even before you get to the first scene where you wake up to see that the shit has hit the fan your DREAMS are telling you to wake up because, well, because the shit has hit the fan.
The first thing you see after starting a new game, even before you see the main character are the words:
"Wake up warrior!
Disaster has struck!"
You don't get more "wake up to a calamity" than that.
