in your own opinion what is the best opening cinematic to a game. i think demons souls is one of the best because it starts out with the awesome music and a knight fighting zombies, pretty cool.

Opening game cinematics and cut scenes for that matter use to be all the rage but they seem to have dropped off a bit throughout some of the genres. Guess in-game stuff using the graphics engine has replaced alot of it.

Off the top of my head I'm not saying it is the best but the opening cinematic to "Carmegeddon" used to get a flogging from me. Beefy cars and music and then the flag carrier run over! :)

Mech Warrior 2 another oldie but goodie.

Everything up to 1:10 blew me away.

Up to 2:45

Also, the first meeting here (the others were even better, but not part of the opening):

The entire opening of Deus Ex, just hearing Bob Page and Walter Simmons describe the situation.

Oh, wait, do you mean opening as in what I just posted, or as in the scene before the game starts?

The opening to FF8.

Such a great opening, from the music, to the fight. To the fucking feathers and ocean, even.

Oblivion
Left 4 Dead
Half-Life 1
Bioshock

Those are the ones that really stand out in my mind, but I'm sure there were others that I just dont remember off the top of my head.

"Rise and shine... Mr. Freeman. Not that i wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job."

Half-Life 2. Hands down my favorite.

Not really my favourite, but I don't think it ever gets the credit it deserves for being one of the most stylish and cool intro for a game ever.


If that doesn't make you want to play the game and figure out what it all meant, then you're probably dead.
