Your Favorite Game opening/intro

[Henkie36]

Need for Speed Underground had a pretty good intro, so did Gran Turismo 2. Maybe it's just something about racing games, with fast paced cars sliding around cormers at speed the police couldn't even keep up with so they don't bother to chase you.

Spoiler: Fable 3

Cared more about that chicken than all other characters in the game combined.

 

[Lord Kase]

The Quake II intro gives me chills everytime I watch it... hell everytime I think about it.

 

[Coldster]

A tie between Kingdom Hearts 2 and Bioshock. Yeah I know everyone saw that coming.

"You made your last delivery kid, sorry you got twisted up in this scene. From where your kneeling it must seem like a 18 karat run of bad luck truth it, it was rigged from the start."

That combined with War never changes mono-log was a good intro for F:NV

I've always really liked the opening for Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

 

[chronicfc]

Fallout "War, war never changes"

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Gets you in the mood really well

If only the whole game had that feeling. Heres to the third one.

OT: Personally I love Metal Gear Solid 4's opening. Just the way its shot, and everything, and being a huge fan doesn't hurt.

 

[Lokithrsourcerer]

not sure if its my fave theres sooooooo many to chose from but the first one that came to mind was from Dawn of War 1:


Edit= lol sum one ninja-d my post should have posted b4 i watched the vid lol

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Bioshock had the best intro to a game that I've ever seen. I couldn't tell you why I love it so much, I simply marvel in all it's glory. Let's watch.


Up to about 6 minutes is what I'm talking about. Bioshock 2 had a good intro too. Again, let's watch.


Up to about 4 minutes in for this one. Absolute beauty. This one actually makes me want to be a father.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

The Tenchu wrath of heaven vid. It's amazing and that riff at 1:13 is my favorite of all time.

 

[Rooster893]

I loved WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2006's Raw intro. Reminds me of good times and when WWE wasn't stupid.

Oh FUCKING HELL yes.

 

[Adamc-mh]

My three Favorite openings are all of the Dynasty Warriors openings, all of the Monster Hunter Opening and all of the Fallout openings

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Left 4 Dead had the coolest intro that I can think of. in a story with no plot save what you piece together on your own, it is all the more awesome.

 

[Fidelias]

The Mechwarrior 2 intro. It was AWESOME! (Well, there's definitely better stuff out there now, but it was really cool in 1995.)


Also, the Borderlands intro is really cool. I didn't like the rest of the game, but the intro was one of the best.

 

[Winterfel]

Well if you've played the game:

It seemed soooo cheesy the first time I saw it. Now it simply sends chills down my spine.

 

[Lesd3vil]

The first Parasite Eve game.

The main character gets out of a car at a theatre in New York...

You walk inside, and the REAL intro starts; a cheesy, over the top dramatic opera. The female lead on stage starts singing and people start bursting into flames.

Wait, WHAT?

She's still fucking singing with her mouth closed?

What's going on? Why is the protagonist unaffected? Where did she pull that gun from?

Old graphics or not, it still classes as one of my favourite openings ever... The scene and mood are just completely pulled out from underneath your feet, watchin people (even late 90's plasticine-FMV people) as they respond to being burnt alive is harrowing >>
