Favorite Intro Video

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

In no particular order:

Samurai Western: The intro video seems to be some sort of kick-ass advert for iSamurai.

Kingdom Hearts II: Just lush.

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War: What a hell of video. Epic in every sense of the word.

Sonic Adventure's intro is still fantastic:

Half-Life 2:

Everything else is too long and too story heavy, the story should be in the game not the intro.
As for KH2, the intro is fine but Roxas ruins the first part of the game.

Agreed, but his fight in Final Mix+ shows him to be a fantastic character. Damn that was fun.

One just occurred to me- it's quirky, a definite acquired taste, but I still remember it. The intro to Shogo: Mobile Armor Division [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC4S8zXMxUM] was perfect- a sugary little J-pop anime-style intro which reminded you this wasn't a grim-and-gritty survival shooter, it was an anime shooter with mecha!
Didn't sound very manly to passerbys, though.

I guess the one to No More Heroes. It had so much satire, I thought "This game is going to be funnier then a monkey trying to open a fake banana."

 

[Not Lord Atkin]

For me, it's Devil May Cry 4

and F.E.A.R.

Legend of Zelda: OoT

Still to this day one of my favorite intros to a game. It perfectly sets a tone for the rest of the game and is so awe inspiring. it really give yous a sense of a long journey ahead and for all it's simplicity, it works brilliantly.

well that sucked even ff 8 intro is better

This thread is about our personal favorites. I adore that intro for it's effectiveness and simplicity which I guess you fail to realize.
