Game intros

[ríomhaire]

What in your opinion are the most awesome game intros?

Me:
SSX Tricky
I really like that song and the video really fires me up.

SSX 3
Again, it really fires me up.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Hell March on its own is legendary. But the intro is brilliant, it's not too fast paced but takes its time and gives you an eyefull, the tanks pouring out of transports, the V3s being launched, fantastic.

Final Fantasy X
I haven't played much FF so I don't know how this compares with the others but Sin destroying the city was great and I really like the music.

OP4
Flying in a chopper, when BAM, you get shot down, wake up and fall unconcious with various scenes. This was actualy the first taste of HL I had (demo) and I f*cking loved it.

BS
The elevator, you really get to see the facility going to shit in this scene. The tram crashing, the aliens porting in, the Vortigaunt examining the scientist.

HL1
The train ride is brilliant, so atmospheric, really awed you. Then the test chamber, just brilliant.

HL2
Pure atmosphere, pure brilliance.

[Gray Fox]

Tekken 3
Final Fantasy VIII
Abe's Oddyssee
Metal Gear Solid 1,2,3

[JNightshade]

Other than those listed:

Shadow of the Colossus
A work of art.

Legend of Zelda- Ocarina of Time
'Nuff said.

Too lazy to think of anything else :P

[Gorgon]

BF2......
can't think of any now :)

[Mr Stabby]

Onimusha 3, the CGI part

all of the MGS series

[Mugato]

Urban Chaos!

[Krynn72]

Are these intros as in, the first part of the game? Or intros as in a CG movie sequence as an intro?

If the latter, then I say:

#1 Warhammer 40K Dawn of War
#2 Onimusha 3

[Reginald]

X Men Legends 2

Me and my friends had beer and we bought the game second hand on the cheap. We fired it up and seeing all the X Men made us scream really loudly... in a manly way of course. Then proceeded the Smackdown.

Half Life 1 and 2

Most people here will know why.

Soul Calibur 2

That game gets me fired up whatever, but seeing all the CGI characters duking it out before seeing Nightmare on teh mountain with the Soul Shard. RAWR!! :borg:

[rAdIOhEaD]

Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
Final Fantasy VIII (Great intro, the game was so so)

[Shippi]

HL1, HL2, OP4, BS, that Red Alert 2 sequence is awesome!... the video at the start of the original Splinter cell (Xbox version - with the music), hmm, that's all I can think of.

[$kelet0r]

:O


Deus Ex!!!

[ríomhaire]

Are these intros as in, the first part of the game? Or intros as in a CG movie sequence as an intro?
Both

[Axyon]

Urban Chaos!I came to this thread with the soul intention of mentioning this gem of a game. Apart from being completely brilliant, the intro rules as well. Damn those suits.

Also, Deus Ex, natch.

[Garfield_]

Battlefield 2
Silent Hill
Quake 4

[PrimeSuspect]

BF2......
can't think of any now :)

yes

[DEATHMASTER]

Unreal Tournament
Halo/2
HL2

[Loke]

Gran Turismo 3... :P

Freespace 2 - Everything in this intro is pure brilliance, the music, the sounds, the impressive CG. Yep, pure brilliance.

Freedom Fighters - I'm the only one loving this game on this forum? The intro is freaking brilliant, especially the incredible awesome music (Jesper Kyd for the mother f*cking win!), also the fact that everything is ingame graphics, no CG. At first, I thought that the submarines in the beginning of the video were all CG, but no-no, if you look closely you'll see that it's realtime. Impressive.

Metal Gear Solid 2 - I've got two favourite intro parts here, the first, and my personal favourite is the intro you when you first start up the game. The music fits perfectly (Harry Gregson-Williams am rock total). Secondly is the intro-sequence to the tanker. I remember when everyone at E3, when it was first shown, was blown away. Good times. :E

Shadow of the Colossus - The definition of art. Everything in this intro is so beautiful that you can almost touch the environment.

Half-Life - People didn't like the intro-sequence to Half-Life because of its length, I'm exactly the opposite. I love lengthy intros, especially Half-Life's because you were a part of the intro, you could move around in the train while you were introduced to the game. I love that.

Killzone - Excellent intro, the use of Brian Cox's voice makes it really good. Good use of music too, fits in well.

C&C: Red Alert - Ahh! Hell march <3! I remember when I first booted up the game on my PSX, I just fell in love instantly.

[Gargantou]

Onimusha 3s CGI intro is ****ing amazing, MGS2s tanker intro is great, MGS3s intros to each mission, both the parachute one and the one with you in the aircraft being chased by the MiGs etc.:D

[Remus]

HL1, HL2, OP4, Q4, Gun Man, Warhammer 40k DOW(love that CGI)

[Rizzo]

Red alert 2 is good, and i realy like the whole metal gear opening. But other than that, its more in game experiance that gets me.

[ríomhaire]

I <3. That's a great game :E
But no one would play my in MP (PS2 version) because I pwned them all :laugh:
Did you unlock the statue of liberty mission? (beat the game on hardest difficulty)

[DreadLord]

BF2 & BF2SF
Ridge Racer for PSP
Gran Turismo 3
HL1 & 2
Tekken Tag Tournament

[A True Canadian]

The intro to Far Cry was really good.

[Loke]

Did you unlock the statue of liberty mission? (beat the game on hardest difficulty)

Ah, no. Is it a secret singleplayer mission? Sounds kewl, I should try that out.

[Greatgat]

The intro to Far Cry was really good.

*spit-take*

What!? It was utter cheese, man! Anyway, I love that opening CGI in Chrono Cross. That celtic music during just got me.

[Drackard]

Hmm, i can't remember all but here are a few:

All HL games/mods, F.E.A.R, Oblivion, Max Payne 1/2, All the RE's :P

[Jangle]

Battlefield 1942, mainly because of the awesome music.

[DEATH eVADER]

HL1- Half Life is what made intros like we see them today. You don't see a class A game without them anymore

Dawn of War- CG magic bringing the Warhammer 40,000 Universe to life

Total Annihilation- Hey, that narrator is what made that game, with or without a proper story

[Jangle]

Oh, Mafia as well! I loved that intro so much. The camera coming in from the sea, all the seagulls... Best game ever.

[TheAntipop]

I thought the intro to Half-Life 2 needed to be more like the lenghty intro to HL1. Sure, it was nice being in the trainstation as the credits roll slowly by, but I wanted more of the city to gawp at. I wanted the train to rumble over bridges, over canals, past slummy buildings, see stuff happening on the streets, etc. But yes, it was ace.

The intro to MGS2, too. Amazing.

[Axyon]

The intro to MGS2, too. Amazing.I agree, but I think a median would have been better overall. Half-Life's was good, but it does drag on a fair amount, especially so if you're replaying the game. I guess Valve took that into consideration for Half-Life 2, but went a little too far (well, not far enough).

[Samon]

Half-life 2: Episode 1

It's simply one of the best game intros I've ever seen. From the Vortigaunts saving Alyx, to the G-mans removal and to ultimately waking up to see DOG, and then looking up at the now crumbling Citadel. I've never felt such a strong connection with something in a game. Following HL2's ending, with the reactor explosion, and then seeing that swirling cloud at the top of the Citadel I was thinking "My god, what did I do?!"

Half-life 2

Brilliance. The moment I stepped out into that plaza I knew this game was ****ing awesome.

Deus ex

How can anyone not like the truly superb conversation between Bob Page and Walton Simons? I was hooked from that moment onward.

[DeusExMachina]

Deus Ex
Max Payne 1, 2
MGS 1, 2, 3
GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas
Hitman: Blood Money
Freedom Fighters
Final Fantasy VIII
Half-Life 1
Xenosaga 1, 2
URBAN CHAOS. I thought I was the only one whoever played that amazing game.

[Samon]

Oh, yes, Vice City.

[Rizzo]

I liked the hitman bloodmoney ending so much more then the intro. The intro was ok. But i knew i whould love the game.

Max Payne 1, 2-yes of course.
Vice city-Ok.
San andreas-Gameplay ok. Story suck imo.

[Ren.182]

URBAN CHAOS. I thought I was the only one whoever played that amazing game.
Dude, Urban Choas was an awesome game! :D

I can't think of anything else no one hasn't posted.

[Lucid]

Joint Operations : Typhoon Rising had a spiffy intro, imo.

Warhammer 40k : Dawn of War's intro was sheer brilliance.

HL1's intro is really the only thing keeping me from replaying it tbh, it's too damn long... it was awe-inspiring the first time around, but come on... :|

Warcraft 3 + Expack
Starcraft + Expack
Diablo + 2 + Expack
Shit, all of Blizzard's games have awesome intros.

[PvtRyan]

Not an intro by any means, but the end cinematic of the human campaign in Warcraft 3 was awesome.

[VirusType2]

Half-Life 2
Max Payne 2
WoW
Shenmue
House of the Dead
Grand Theft Auto - Vice City
Probably all the Resident Evil games (can't remember them though)
Ballblazer (Atari 600/800)

others...

[el Chi]

All of the Half-Life series, except Blue Shift.

Grim Fandango

No-One Lives Forever

Deus ex

How can anyone not like the truly superb conversation between Bob Page and Walton Simons? I was hooked from that moment onward.
I keep meaning to replay this game - and yes, the intro's fab. :)

[Lucid]

All of the Half-Life series, except Blue Shift.

Grim Fandango

No-One Lives Forever


I keep meaning to replay this game - and yes, the intro's fabulous. :)

Fixed.

[bam23]

Definitely DoW.

[Spectre01]

MechWarrior 3 for sure.

[Somefool]

No one mentioned Fallout?

"War. War never changes" - Best phrase ever...

[Jintor]

Vice City: TOMMY VERCETTI WOOO!

San Andreas: CJ, OG. And Tenpenny and Pulanski are *bitches*.

[JNightshade]

Oh man, yeah! Fallout has a GREAT intro.

Also, while being different... I just beat MGS3 for the second time, and I'm morally obliged to say that the ending of that game is f*cking incredible :D

[Dog--]

All of the "Battlefield" Games.

Actually, most war games. (good ones)

Can't think of any more..... :(

[Cole]

Opposing Force!!

[Sparta]

Definitely DoW.
Yes. Such a bitchin intro. Guy gets his arm ripped off and still plants the flag. Awesome.

[destrukt]

gosh, i know some good ones i just can't think of them. D:

MechWarrior 3 for sure.
definently, i loved it !

total annihilation
command and conquer (pre generals)*
rise of nations: rise of legends
freespace 2*
killzone*

* - i think these had good ones, can't quite remember as i haven't seen them in awhile.

[Zephos]

Definitely DoW.

Agreed.

Battlefield series (just can't beat the music)
Any Half Life game (Episode One notably)
Abe's Oddysee and Exodus (oh man, awesome...awesome games)

[15357]

Starcraft: Broodwar

[mirage4]

Starlancer+freelancer

Can't think of any more at the moment

[TCfromBN]

Descent 2 Intro and Outro. Decent 1 and 2 have a superb storyline in my book. Descent 1 would have probably had a good intro but it came along too early to even have a 3d movie like intro.

[99.vikram]

In order -

Half-life 2
Opposing Force
Alpha Centauri
Half-life
BF series
Splinter Cell PC

[ríomhaire]

I thought the intro to Half-Life 2 needed to be more like the lenghty intro to HL1. Sure, it was nice being in the trainstation as the credits roll slowly by, but I wanted more of the city to gawp at. I wanted the train to rumble over bridges, over canals, past slummy buildings, see stuff happening on the streets, etc. But yes, it was ace.
I think of everything up to the apartments as the intro TBH.

[Drackard]

Yep, exactly how i see it Riom ;)

[Sparta]

Totally forgot about WoW's intro movie. That's awesome.

[Jintor]

You mean WoW's 8 different intro movies?

I can't remember >>

I might mention: Black and White (Wee, pretty colours!) Red Alert (TANKS! TANKS EVERYWHERE!)... hmmm. What else? Fahrenheit was pretty kick-ass. But most things I play are open ended and don't really have an intro movie.

[Sulkdodds]

WoW, DoW, Probably Warcraft, all the Battlefield games - especially Battlefield 2 - Darwinia's multiple hilarities, Operation Flashpoint's first mission, Hostile Waters and Sacrifice.

I came to this thread with the soul intention of mentioning this gem of a game. Apart from being completely brilliant, the intro rules as well. Damn those suits.I loved the game but I don't remember the intro. :(

[jimbo118]

mgs series
Mafia
F.E.A.R
Shadow of The Colossus
Onimusha series
Silent Hill 3

[TheAntipop]

I think of everything up to the apartments as the intro TBH.

Well, yeah, but I meant as stuff to see. I kinda meant as in the same context of the intro to Half-Life 1, what with you being on the train and seeing all this stuff happen outside the windows.

EDIT: The Resident Evil 3 intro video was awesome aswell. Watching the helicopters come flying down the street as the camera pans to several police cars and SWAT vans skidding into a defensive position as a horde of zombies come stumbling down the street right through to the bloody end of the helmet rolling in the puddle of gore with the car door gently swinging.

[Drackard]

I think all the RE Intro's were amazing imo :D

[TheAntipop]

Actually yeah, good point. The original RE was cheesy as hell, but it always makes me laugh. The remake intro is just stunning through, espeically with the shoulder-cam of that... ehh.. Joseph guy I think his name was. And the RE:Zero video was cool.

[Raxxman]

Freespace 1. Man that fires you up

'SEND FIGHTERS! OH MY GOD THEY'RE HERE!'

Wild Arms. Not so much the intro but the manga start has awesome music and is inspiring.

Prince of persia sands of time, the way the intro is also the ending is very cool.

Wing Commander 4

Res Evil 2 has an awesome intro as it's situational, and the way the two slink together is awesome.

[Zephos]

Actually yeah, good point. The original RE was cheesy as hell, but it always makes me laugh. The remake intro is just stunning through, espeically with the shoulder-cam of that... ehh.. Joseph guy I think his name was. And the RE:Zero video was cool.

Poor Joseph, he always hated dogs :(

The RE:0 one was a bit meh in my opinion...but Rebecca's cuteness made up for the duller than usual voice acting.

[Reaktor4]

half life 1 is the only game i can remember that has a really good intro

[NightBlade2011]

Deus Ex definitly.

[Bad^Hat]

HL1, Op4, HL2 definitely (don't remember Blue Shift). The whole FFX intro part was freaking awesome, especially seeing it early on when PS2 was still the balls, blew me away. Can't think of any others right now...

Someone refresh my memory on the Deus Ex and FFVIII openings?

[ríomhaire]

Deus Ex:
Bob Page and Walten Simons talking about the conditions of the people on the streets and the terrorists. They then mention their evil plans.

[Sulkdodds]

And that's why I go 'huh?' when people cite Deus Ex as a favourite game intro.

It's two people talking about their evil plans. Tell me something - wouldn't the plot have been rather more engaging/surprising if you didn't know your superior was conspiring right from the start?

[Steven]

Half-Life 1 and 2

[Shippi]

And that's why I go 'huh?' when people cite Deus Ex as a favourite game intro.

It's two people talking about their evil plans. Tell me something - wouldn't the plot have been rather more engaging/surprising if you didn't know your superior was conspiring right from the start?

Yeah.. I don't really like that intro D:

[$kelet0r]

As a dialogue piece it was awesome - and you are always wary of Simmons throughout, he treats you with contempt when you meet him
It just struck me as less cliche

[Jintor]

And that's why I go 'huh?' when people cite Deus Ex as a favourite game intro.

It's two people talking about their evil plans. Tell me something - wouldn't the plot have been rather more engaging/surprising if you didn't know your superior was conspiring right from the start?

Well, it still was pretty cool to find out that UNATCO IS EEEEVVVILLLLL!!!!

I admit it was pretty kick-ass dialogue, but the Deus Ex engine - especially for faces - is so weird I can't bear to watch it. I wonder, though... Deus Ex Source...

Other good intros are Psychonauts. Definantly! PSYCHONAUTS!

[Axyon]

And that's why I go 'huh?' when people cite Deus Ex as a favourite game intro.

It's two people talking about their evil plans. Tell me something - wouldn't the plot have been rather more engaging/surprising if you didn't know your superior was conspiring right from the start?It wasn't so much the content, even though the voice acting was well done (especially so, considering the voice-acting throughout the rest of the game). For me, it was the cutting and editing while they talk over the slaughter in Paris etc. It felt just like the intro to a movie before they cut to the intro credits and the title announcement - zooming into Page's eye as he emphasises "...Gods", then bang, you're playing.

I dunno, it's just one of those sequences that makes you remember back to the day when gaming just felt... right. The safety of the training map with Jaime Reyes, Gunther and Anna instructing you, the soothing music (yes, I remember it to this day and still maintain it's the best gaming music ever) as you progress through. Follow that with Liberty Island, and, damn, I just can't express how much I love the game.

[Sulkdodds]

Yeah, I can see what you mean. But it didn't strike me as one of my favourite ever intros. :p

Seriously, what happened at the beginning of Urban Chaos?

It's so long ago I don't remember. :(

[Axyon]

Yeah, I can see what you mean. But it didn't strike me as one of my favourite ever intros. :p

Seriously, what happened at the beginning of Urban Chaos?

It's so long ago I don't remember. :(It's a little sketchy in my mind, but from what I remember it leads in with D'arci chasing some thugs, in which they get into a fight, then those mysterious suited blokes appear and own the place with their minigun pistols. It ends with them throwing a bomb and leaving, panning out to D'arci legging it away and the explosion going off at the stroke of the millenium. I always thought it was pretty cool.

The editing, the camera were all pretty amateurish. It did not feel like a movie at all, it felt especially amateurish compared to the intro of metal gear solid. That intro was carried by the smart dialog compared to other games.

[Axyon]

The editing, the camera were all pretty amateurish. It did not feel like a movie at all, it felt especially amateurish compared to the intro of metal gear solid. That intro was carried by the smart dialog.You can think what you like, I think it's a fantastic intro, and by far a better game.

[Samon]

Well, Deus ex's dialogue was on par with MGS's...and that isn't saying much.

The intro to Deus Ex was superb. It set the scene, the mood and it was fantastic.

[Gray Fox]

Well, Deus ex's dialogue was on par with MGS's...and that isn't saying much.

The intro to Deus Ex was superb. It set the scene, the mood and it was fantastic.
I disagree, Cam Clark deliverd some fantasticly credible and passionate voicework, and the other characters do not fall that much below him, you could almost taste the betray and arrogance in Ocelot's voice, the fear in Otacon's voice, the shear and utter indifferance in Gray Fox's voice, the dialog in Deus Ex was a lot more flat and cold then it needed to be, it went beyond setting the grimmy mood, it gave the characters less emotion then was good for it's own sake.

[Samon]

I completely agree, the voice work in MGS was superb. Deus ex's dialogue was indeed, at times, flat. Not everywhere though. MGS dialogue is not that great, and Kojima really needs to work on it - because it is one of the only things that pulls MGS down. It's not terrible, not by a long shot, but it is far, far from fantastic.

[DeusExMachina]

I disagree :p.

[Sulkdodds]

You disagree?

"Yeah, I mean, MGS has awesome dialogue."

Dialogue?!?

"Erm...yeah. Hideo Kojima and all."

What?!? HIDEO KOJIMA?!?!?

Actually, I think Samon's got a point about MGS dialogue.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, well I think your FACE has a point.

[Samon]

Thats not what your mom said.

[Sulkdodds]

Yeah, well I think your FACE has a point.My Face??!?!?

[Samon]

In all seriousness of seriousness though, it's really pretty...well, not good. :p
There is far, far worse out there mind.

My friend is always trying to convince me that MGS has MINDBLOWING dialogue, and the best plot EVER CREATED. Having played them a great deal, I can safely say that the plot is pretty cool, but the dialogue is pretty awful at times.

That said, I really want to make a drinking game where you do a shot every time Snake repeats something in the form of a question.

[Axyon]

That said, I really want to make a drinking game where you do a shot every time Snake repeats something in the form of a question.Jesus christ, do you have a coma fixation or something?

I'd say a better drinking game is to play MGS2 and whoever loses track of what the hell is going on has to chug. That may not yield any better results, however.

[Ennui]

DoW's CG intro is great, and so it's HL's tram sequence.

[DEATH eVADER]

I thought the intro to Half-Life 2 needed to be more like the lenghty intro to HL1. Sure, it was nice being in the trainstation as the credits roll slowly by, but I wanted more of the city to gawp at. I wanted the train to rumble over bridges, over canals, past slummy buildings, see stuff happening on the streets, etc. But yes, it was ace.

Pretty much the whole sequence without a gun was an intro sequence. I rather enjoyed it.

[Samon]

My friend is always trying to convince me that MGS has MINDBLOWING dialogue

LOL. Hehe.

[DeusExMachina]

The only thing with the dialogue is they don't really talk like normal people. They speak in monologues.

The CGI intro for the PS2 version of Ghost Recon.

Wipeout games. ones when the intro's were made by designers of the republic were good to.

I also like Breath of Fire 4 and the original TMNT for NES.

Final Fantasy VIII, nuff said.

Also unforgettable.

I stand by Psychonauts, though. WHO'S WITH ME!




*waits*

[Gray Fox]

I love psychonauts, it's with mgs my favorite game of all time. Now the intro is nice, but nothing that special IIRC. I mean it's just Raz falling in to the meeting at the campfire and acting overly exited. All executed nice, with nice visuals, dialogue and acting. But not something that really stands out, nothing that sends chills trough my spine. It's sets the mood very good though.

[Sloth]

For me it's have to stand as DoW, BF 'Narm and any of the C+Cs for a CGI intro.

But any of the Half Life's are awesome for an in-game intro...

I'm trying to find a computer version of Freedom Fighters, loved that game when i was playing it on a mate's PS2 when he rented it. But i can't find it anywhere - anyone want to mail it to me?

[Cole]

Any cinematic in any Blizzard game!
WC3 definently had some good ones.
Starcraft just friggen amazing. Every single one. Diablo 2's....wow. The start to Diablo 1....very nice. Blizzard is so damn amazing.

[Bad^Hat]

Any cinematic in any Blizzard game!

YES. Thank you :D

[Bob_Marley]

Dungeon keeper 2. It sets the scene for the rest of the game perfectly, its not entirely serious and the good guys get thier arses kicked but a big red deamon and his mates.

Jagged Alliance 2: Urban Chaos. Sets the stroy perfectly, AIM lies broken, its members scattered across the world, but there is hope, maybe liberationg Danubia will revive AIM to its former glory. And it has an exeptionally cool end line - "My destination: Danubia. My mission: Urban Chaos..."

Brood War - the best intro to any Blizzard game. Ever. (Or until Starcraft 2 [remains quietly hopeful that it will come, one day...])

MIA - Flying into the 'Nam and the closing line "Freinds in low places had told me Vietnam was like going to hell, sure looks beutiful though..."

[Qonfused]

Final Fantasy VIII, nuff said.

That and BF2 have to be the top two for me.

[BigBoss7556]

Half-Life 1 and 2(including episode one): Well, you guys already know why.

Deus Ex: The conversation in the beggining was pretty cool and made you wonder what they were talking about.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3: Just plain amazing how they're shown.

Operation Flashpoint Resistance: The intro level and cutscene that shows the Soviet troops moving in and killing citizens in their path really shows how ruthless they are.

[Slacker]

FFVIII had a great intro. The cutscenes of the game were also probably the only good part of it..

I loved the first 30 minutes or so to FFIX too.

[pvtbones]

MechWarrior 3 for sure.
