Your favorite intro cinematic

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Infamous is pretty cool...

 

[Sieni]

Probably Bioshock. The plane crash, swimming to the lighthouse and discovering Rapture. Interactive intros FTW.

I have to agree with FFVIII as the most entertaining.

And I have to agree with Deus Ex as the most intriguing intro trailer.

As for my personal favourite, I have to base my choice purely on nostalgia

deus ex
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay_4ZllJ9qo
really sets the tone for the game

i think you've said it all.

i'd add the Psychonauts Intro which is hilarious:


Oleander: "It is the Ultimate Battlefield!"

 

[eelel]

This is my favorite intro but why do the Space Mariens seem to get their asses handed to them in these intros.

 

[Anggul]

Probably Shadow the hedgehog.

I think all of the Legacy of Kain games have pretty untouchable opening cinematics but Soul Reaver is stunning.

Mostly it is the quality of the voice acting that gets me.

 

[-BloodRush-]

Final Fantasy VIII's opening is pretty awesome.

i like this one because you got a very clear idea of the relationships of the characters without the need of words.

 

[Azalin137]

God of War, HL2, any and all FFs

 

[Brad Shepard]

Final Fantasy VIII's opening is pretty awesome.

you sir have very very very good tastes, this is my choice as well.

 

[Agayek]

The only valid answer to this question.

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

Left 4 Dead 2

If it was a movie i'd watch it

Yeah, but i think the original Left 4 Dead's was better.

 

[gerrymander61]

Final Fantasy VII

I loves it, yes I does. The music makes me gush considerably.

YEAH!. When Sony did the remake of the opening to showcase the PS3's hardware, I soiled myself.

 

[Red Pawn]

BioShock, no question.
"...RAPTURE."

 

[Professor James]

Mine is hard corps uprising introduction. Hard corps is basically a spiritual successor to contra.


This is almost indistinguishable to an anime opening.
