Media Favorite Video Game Intros

[Solidus]

I didn't see a thread for this, so I made one instead. Post your favorite Video Game intros, I wanna see 'em! . Except the MGS ones (and anything else from Hideo Kojima), I've seen all of those before - we ALL have.

Always, and forever, and I know you agree



I still stop and listen to that beautiful piano every time , especially on 3DS!

also you probably killed everyone's hopes and dreams with banning Kojima, but I'm so proud of you for doing it anyway

I'll post more later, hard to do via phone, but Onimusha 3 intro is amazing.

Can they be playable? I'll adjust mine if it doesn't fit your criteria.

1. Final Fantasy VII- It's just a beautiful opening. I love the theme song and character designs.

2. Assassin's Creed 2- Beautiful music, setting, and art direction


3.Arkham City- It's a vulnerable Bruce Wayne, and as a big Bat-fan, I always love that.

Beautiful, but I'm going to choose this instead:



Wind Waker's so much more meaningful to me, and I love the theme song's Celtic influence.

This one also stands out in my mind:



And...



Classic.

"The guy's a maniac! Why'd he bite me?!"

RE2 and almost most RE games have great intros, the classic ones in particular. RE1 has a memorable intro for the wrong reasons and I agree on Wind Waker, but OoT is just a beautiful piano piece, I can't not listen to it. Silent Hill I never played, but I feel the intro really sucks you in.

Punisher for the PS2 was a truly underrated game. Would love an HD re-release and a sequel.


And one of my all time favorite games. Hitman Contracts. Such a truly unsettling intro.

Oh yeah, WC3 and those hordes!!!
Anyway I remember Heavy Gear.

And if it counts Last of Us gameplay intro was stupendous.

Repost since I didn't know the damn HTML code via my phone on the first page.

I love all four Onimusha intros, but Onimusha 3 has the best intro in the franchise, hands down. Donnie Yen did the choreography and mo-cap for this intro:




Persona 4 is one of the best RPGs ever made, and has amazing and unique music to boot. Love the original Persona 4 Intro:



I'll post more when I can remember. Some people already posted Mega Man II's, Resident Evil 2's and Final Fantasy VII's for me.

Re: Post your Top 3 Favorite Video Game Intros

Despite what Solidus says, I'mma post'em anyway. Of all the Metal Gear's, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty had not one, but TWO great intros in the franchise:






Snake Eater's intro, of course, is the best, period

Re: Post your Top 3 Favorite Video Game Intros

Agreed. Ocarina of Time's intro is unforgettable and, unlike the original Resident Evil, for all the right reasons.

RE2 was my first Resident Evil (played on the N64 because I didn't own a PlayStation), and for that reason I'm a bit biased toward its intro -- for sentimental reasons. CODE: Veronica's is great as well, and also stands out as a favourite. You're right, though, in that the original REs had some stellar intro sequences.

While I'm not a fan of the continual theme of occultism in the Silent Hill series, 2 was a standalone title that delved more into the psyches of the characters within, attributing to something more human. If Silent Hill can do anything with consistency, though, it's generate ambiance and, thus, immersion. You should give them a try!

Indeed on Ocarina of Time and RE!

RE2 was my first as well, though my first I ever completed was the original. Even 0 had a good intro, certainly not up to par with the other games, but it was good to say RE had a consistently good intro. I'd say 4 had one that helped pave the way for how that game would play out.

I'm not into Silent Hill much, but I like how those games start out. I might try some day

also @ Brando, Solidus is not going to be pleased

Re: Post your Top 3 Favorite Video Game Intros



Have to add this to my two from earlier. Way better than the actual game.

Re: Post your Top 3 Favorite Video Game Intros

I remember playing the dino crisis demo disc that came with RE3 (If I remember right) and it got me so pumped and wanting to play DC. Resident Evil with Dinosaurs? Ok I'm in.



Demons Crest: This intro screen had me hooked on the game for life. It set the tone and atmosphere perfectly. I still regularly play this game.



I concede to the RE and Ocarina of time intros being some of the best as well…They just drew you in and never let go.

Re: Post your Top 3 Favorite Video Game Intros

Great stuff, people! I have to say, I really love the cinematic openings from video games in the 90s and early 2000s. They actually looked like full-fledged movies.

@FSLAR: You can't go wrong with Ocarina of time!

@Brando: Hey, NO MGS!!

Awesome choice!

I'm not counting the ~thirty seconds of "gameplay" in between the plane and the bathysphere.



Nothing even comes close for me.
