montcer9012: Hi!

My people... Sons and Daughters of Helghan... This much... I vow: After playing games here and there, no game have impress me so bad as Killzone 2 did. Neither KZ 1 nor KZ 3, but KZ2!

Why? Because the game mix lot's of politics, economics and even theoretical concepts that you can't and won't see on many other games. Of course, some may say that COD mix those concepts too, but they are too forced into the game that makes no sense, like developers just placed all that there without taking care, because all dev money is directed to make "cool" quicktime events and players (kids) gets excited while playing it.

There's another game very close to it is Singularuty, but I don't know why devs didn't puts a little extra work on it. The whole game lacks of it. I mean, the intro game video give me a VERY HIGH expectation about it, but after 1 hour playing... I get so booooreeeddd... It was sad.

Anyway, if any of you haven't watch it, here it is:
Killzone 2 intro, Visari's Speech.
Singularuty, Intro and some gameplay minutes.

So, in your opinion, which game have the best intro? Of course you may disagree about the 2 games I have picked, however, I am sure of 1 thing: ... The history of these days will be written in blood
But: Killzone 3 has waaay better music. 'And ever we fight on' still gives me chills. The nights I spent in online combat... Search for it on YouTube, if you like.

F1ach: The last Witcher game intro was very impressive.

Same goes for the opening of the first Witcher.



I personally liked the intros of Fallout 1 and 2. But call them the best ...? Dunno...

I like those mid to late 90s intros that look like they were rendered on a potato. If you ever tried to make 3D graphics yourself on a 486 PC with POV-Ray or other stone age tools, one was easily impressed by those old rendered intros.

Benmar alread mentioned Dungeon Keeper, some of my other favorites are:


Warcraft II:

amok: Jazzpunk
You beat me to it! :P
I remember thinking "Okay, this game is worth the $15 for that intro alone!" when I first played Jazzpunk.


I haven't seen Thief - The Dark Project mentioned yet.

Wow, that intro create what I call hype D: !!! I did never played that game; have to get it! And yes, that's what a nice intro do; make you want more and to play the game! Hopes it does not result a disappoint.

ZFR: I liked Starcraft: Broodwars intro. Not sure though how it would be percieved by someone who hasn't played the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-00uQzXyujI
Oh yeah, the old BroodWar. It is a very nice intro, a very nice indeed.

That one looks nice, but does not create hype to start playing it ASAP.

After all these years I can still recite that whole opening. I even change my voice to the "Cast him in" bit.

Tannath: * Another World - Yes, it's very old, but again it sets up the world and the mood of the game perfectly;
Ohhh the mighty Another World. It does bring me lots of memories from my chilhood; I remember the game intro sets perfect to introduce you into the history atmosphere.

You know which other game is just like that? This one:

truhlik: Did someone mentioned intro from Flashback?
Too bad UbiCrap gets the rights; I refuse to get the "new" version as I am sure it broke the original game magic ):

Here is his intro cinematic in case someone miss that game:

Bad guys punch your girlfriend in the stomach and run off with her. You emerge from a garage and proceed to kick much ass. Simple and effective.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. LOL. Very nice intro indeed!

MaGo72: I like the Eve Intro a lot:

Eve
Nice game. I think it was for free in the PS Store. Never played it due the game style. MMOG I think is called.

Bouchart: How come nobody has mentioned the best intro ever made?
HAHAHAHAHA, LOL!

Yeah I remember that song. I disagree with you since that music is all romantic... On the other hand, Killzone 2 Main Menu Theme (Helghan Forever) keeps you with the intro video you have seen! So the hype goes on until you start the game and go around kicking some asses! D:

Hahaha don't take it so serious. Every person has his own opinion so no don't worry.

awalterj:
There's something I must admit and is Blizzard capacities to make intro movies; they are all charged with the motion they put into the game so the hype gets you focus into it!



Well no one has mention any automobile games yet; don't you like cars? I think the best intro for a car game will be for Gran Turismo 5. Why? Because it is all classy, stylish, and very sophisticated so you get the game is all about braking and taking curves. At least in a japanese way.
Here is it:
Gran Turismo 5 Intro Cinematic
On the other hand:
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 D: !! It does transmit all the hype to need more speed!
Posted January 27, 2015
Few of my favorites:

Soul Blade

Ys: VI The Ark of Napishtim

Last Blade 2

Soul Blade and Ys VI cinematics are quite new to me, I have beat Soul Edge many times in the arcade back in the '90s but can't recall ever seeing the intro.

Syndicate Wars

Fallout 2

Resident Evil

Syndicate Wars is not only great, but may be the most nostalgic for me, it was one of the first games I've played on my new PC that I got in November 1998, very memorable on its own plus it nails the atmosphere of the game.
Fallout 2 is overall possibly the best one from my picks, has excellent style and brings a sense of mystery - what is G.E.C.K. and does it indeed work as advertised, and who are the thugs in power armors who shoot the innocent vault dwellers? Well, I have beat the game so now I know.
Resident Evil live action opening is unique for the series, but its the title sequence at the end that makes it one of the most memorable intros.

It's weird, I do not remember the Independance War, Homeworld, and MechCommander intro and I own those games. The cleavage in the last one should have at least made an impression in the "boobs are awesome" part of my mind. My favorite intro is Command and Conquer. I've replayed that game more than any others and I never skip the intro.
