I have a fair few intros that I like but one that I haven't seen posted as a video yet at least is the Borderlands intro, so here it is

So is Borderlands styled like a film made in that game's universe? What with those false credits and everything...

It was a cool intro.

Allow me to introduce something you yourself said in another thread that vastly improves your original quote:

Well yes it was an assumption and I knew it all along but if you've actually experienced some of the (opinion part)much better(/opinion part) intros then I'm appalled but content with your opinion.

See, these things work both ways. You want people to respect your opinions, then start by enforcing that sentiment yourself.

Borderlands intro mostly due to that fantastic Cage the Elephant song, but my all time favourite is the Guild Wars starting intro:

Well I knew full well what I was saying there and there's no need for "improvement"
I'm not out for respect for my opinions really, I treat the kind of opinions that say "This is better than That" more like facts. There's a lot of arguments involved and I'm sure to enforce my opinions with arguments, in my mind, before coming to a conclusion as to which would be the best of a certain group.
Killzone is, just factually, not the franchise with the best intros around.
Now if I were in a conversation with you, I would explain this all to you, elaborately, but this is costing me too much time. I really don't care all that much what you think of this now.

That makes two of us, buddy. Have a nice life.

And thanks for not wasting any more of my time with your wonderful "my opinion is fact" philosophy.

I've got to agree with several other people here: Dawn of War has one of the greatest intro cinematics and Bioshock has the greatest opening.

Honorable mention: World in Conflict New York Cinematic (not an intro, but still awesome!)

-snip vid-

The actual intro for that game was well made, but the first part didn't really fit the tone of the game. So I'd give an honourable mention to the actual WiC campaign intro, if just for its cheesy hilariousness.

Spoiler: WiC Intro

"Unmarked containerships" ... with tanks and gunships
Police car driving away: "America is under attack!"
"The vultures have been fed and the world has seen our might ... Now, clear the skies!"
Really, it is as if the whole cinematic isn't meant to be taken seriously up to that point.

I always thought the WiC intro was cool, but it's that, "Cheesiness," that keeps me from truly enjoying it.

TES:Oblivion just really into the music, plus it set this really epic world.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Brutal Legend's intro is the king of all intros.

I remember back in 6th grade that when we finished all our assigned work and no tests were coming up that there was a computer in the back with a Green toy soldier figurine FPS. The teacher didn't have the disk for it but all of us (us meaning boys) would crowd into the back and watch the opening cinematic over and over...and pretty much everything final fantasy...and new vegas.

Gets you in the mood really well

i will admit i always did love this one, the narration/pep talk is amazing background for whats going on and always gets me in the mood to kill some grubs


OT:

this is one i have always loved, and always made me pumped to go fuck some zombies up

 

[Asuka Soryu]

Heheh, I love this one.

 

[Biodeamon]

The intro to singularity.

It is incredibly well done and is actually pretty believable.

It is also the game that sparked my intrest in soviet russia
