Best Game Intros

[Katherine Kerensky]

I haven't got anything better on my mind so i'll go with Rise of legends.

[diety], thats a good intro.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Fallout 3. It's just so...haunting...

Also, Red Alert 2 and 3.

 

[AvsJoe]

Yuri's Revenge Intro. A couple of my friends and I use lines from that opening scene as inside jokes (Yuriiiii...).

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I like how CoD4 opened up, from a first person PoV that ended with you being capped in the face.

silent hill 2

[Casual Shinji]

Abe's Oddyssey.

 

[Cargando]

Hmm... I remember enjoying Oblivions intro at the time. The graphics on the Emporers face were amazing.

 

[Zacharine]

Chrono cross. Mediocre sequel to a great game. But the intro rocked.


Red Alert 2 and 3 also had great intros...

 

[VincentMm]

Allow me to be the first fanboy to say FFVII

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I've always liked Tales of Symphonia's intro movie. I don't know why but it's probably the music.

Loved it at the time for awesomeness even if is is a bit generic fantasy style

Also possible portal inspiration: "The convocation is a lie!"

It's so filled with emotion =].

 

[civver]

The opening cutscene for every game started in Civilization 4. Leonard Nimoy, hell yes.

 

[oliveira8]

Spoiler: Red Alert 2 Intro.

Also the best soundtrack ever.

Wait! Didn't one of the missiles struck the head of the statue of liberty or is it all in my head?

 

[KjellKanon]

Spoiler: Valkyria Chronicles

Without a doubt in my mind.

I second this. I pretty much jizzed in excitement when I saw the intro
