Epic video game openings.

[Scarecrow]

I know that this post has being done before, but from what I can see it has not being done for a while. So tell, what is the most epic opening to a video game. I say it's the opening movie for the Beatles rock band, so cool. Anyway, tell me what you think.

Edit: Sorry, here is a video:

Obligatory Final Fantasy VIII, reporting in!

 

[Flying-Emu]

Say what you want about World of Warcraft; that is a bitching trailer.

 

[Blindrooster]

the opening to Kingdom Under Fire: The crusaders.......

 

[Mimssy]

One of my favorites

 

[Skorpyo]

Red Alert 2.

C&C has the best cinematics of all time, IMHO.

 

[Scarecrow]

One of my favorites

I forgot about this! But I still think beatles rock band is cooler.

 

[Aur0ra145]

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty Eight.

How can you not want to play for hundereds of hours after that?


Oh and Rogue Spear.

Dawn Of War 1&II Intro. Fan-fucking-tastic.

I see Furburt already said that.

 

[Grayjack]

I loved BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger's opening.

 

[Ertol]

I always thought Mass Effect had a cool opening. Not really an opening but the first time you see Rapture in Bioshock and the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3 was pretty epic.

Then again I love anime, the artstyle in the op, and the music.

 

[The Madman]

Awwwww yeah! Doesn't get much more stylish than that!

 

[Mister Awesome]

i personally liked the one to borderlands very original and great. The music fit in perfectly when it introduced the characters

Yeah, Mass Effect actually reminded me a whole lot about the Top Gun opening if anyone can see the parallel. (No Danger Zone though)

The Starcraft 2 opening was pretty cool, cinematics-wise.

You know what? The best game opening ever was from Ace Combat 5.

 

[Frasman]

I always liked the intro for Ridge Racer 4


The Final Fantasy 6 intro on PSX is pretty good too.

 

[Tenkage]

Final Fantasy 8's opening, it had a wonderful piece of music and the graphics were just beyond the standard of its time. Sword Fighting and everything include
