Furygun81 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You read it right - I'd like to know what everybody's favourite video game intro is! It doesn't matter which platform or whatever, ANY video game. As long as it has an intro. They can be rendered or CGI or whatever. The thing that plays before the game itself. I'll go ahead and say Tekken 2, although there is an intro I like more I'll start out slow. Just because the music is wonderful and everything introduces you to the characters quite nicely (except the unlockables). Doesn't tell you about the story, just the characters, you can't have everything I suppose! So what's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjakob42 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Great choices there, Mr. Finest As for me... One of my favorite opening levels to any game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 First one that comes to mind is one of the best, although I know of a few more I really love, I'll start with this too. This opening sequence just told you "this is going to be an amazing game" and it was. It sooo was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseboyd7 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 One of my favorite intros I personally like is Halo Reach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZUGTY__FYw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublinthefox Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Mine would have to be from Super Street Fighter 4. The griddy look of the characters along with some good ol' techno make this one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 There is quite literally a plethora of wonderful video game intros out there, my favorites particularly come from the original Driver on PS1 as well as the Need For Speed series; Need For Speed High Stakes; Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2; Driver; [Gets good at around 1:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ4IK42lIds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 First and foremost: These are also favourites of mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygun81 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 SoulBlade (aka SoulEdge in Japan) for the Arcades and Playstation One, the PSX/PS1/PSN version has one of my favourite songs, and intros, of all time. Unfortunately due to the singer's strong accent the words are kinda hard to make out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDZZzsQlwOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rin Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Final Fantasy X's FMV introduction was badass, as was XII's. Borderlands was another favorite of mine. Completely hilarious and just plain awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Borderlands. Cage The Elephant FTW. Can`t wait for #2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think I'll throw in two more that I thought of; Stuntman (PS2) - I love how this one switches tones from a silent movie type deal to something more modern and action-packed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N5zaJZFl4s [And while this isn't quite a video game intro, it does serve as a prologue of sorts, introducing a player to a series of events;] Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (PS2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FpgbiwnbeY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjakob42 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 @ Mr. Finest, I sent you a PM 'bout Kane & Lynch. Ch-check it out! Also, speaking of the intro to Conker's Bad Fur Day... Look familiar? And another contribution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjakob42 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 In spite of how embarassingly cheesy it is, there's just something awesome about it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht-YYxVWgkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjvD3C_nvBk Monkey Island is awesome, and that theme, I can't get over the music, so catchy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYZAnF1jcFg Mass Effect 3's opening was great too, even if it's not exactly the "Opening" it's when the real game starts, so I count it.

Vy'drach Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Nuff said. And also, how could I forget to post this. This is one of my all-time favourites, just because Jim Cummings is the voice of the Terror Mask. *WARNING* There is blood, so much blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted April 17, 2012 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted April 17, 2012 Goldeneye - haha. Ohh, video game intro's.. so many to choose from. I like a lot of Genesis intro's like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage 2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Here's another recent one; I can't quite get over how nice the animation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseboyd7 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This is somewhat of an intro. Starwars Battlefront II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapsepilot Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have always liked the Crimson skies intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdkoopa Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Two of my favorites of all time would easily be, (Got a japanese version on accident) And (I couldn't find an un-narrarated version so if anyone could, that'd be nice) Pretty much all Mario RPG's/Chrono games always blew me away with intro's. There's a lot of others, but ask me when it's not 3 AM. Also props to all who said FFX. "To Zanarkand" is honestly one of the most memorable tracks of that game.
