Favorite Video Game Opening

[sunzt]

I think FF8 had one of the best opening scenes. Pretty good story, but gameplay could have been better.

I like Civ 4's opening.

Probably the original SNES Chrono Trigger opening.

Bah no links! Fine, i'll just Bing it.

Starcraft: Broodwar.

FF7 is still the most memorable to me.

Half Life when you're going to Black Mesa for the first time.

Half Life's "ride through Black Mesa" was awesome and VERY memorable ... though I still get goosebumps watching the opening conversation in Deus Ex.

Just watched it, was fucking lame. As for the best, well Terra Nova was sweet in it's day. The first Dawn of War game has a badass intro.

Agreed with Dawn of War...and Prototype's intro catches my eye for some reason, probably the nice CG

I always loved the Wipeout intros, Wip3out was probably the best out of the three on PSX.

GT3 Also rocked

I recall watching that shortly after install and thought I was in for one of the best games ever made, BOY WAS I WRONG.



The entire game of Phantasmagoria was an interactive movie, it has not aged well, but the music is still good and it was an excellent game. It scared the hell out of me when I played it when I was like seven years old.

I saw The Witcher in a related video. I never played the game, but the intro looked pretty cool.

The Gran Turismo 2 intro was sick. Awesome song along with a kick ass, fast paced montage of cars racing

This is HQ to any available units. We have mechs down at nav gamma. Bravo cadet reports four summoners on site. Bandits are hostile. Repeat, bandits are hostile.

When I first saw/heard that at the age of 9-10, I knew something awesome was coming and omg I loved that game.

I played it on a crappy old DOS machine with a turbo button. Had to make a boot disk just to play it and my dad and I spent hours mucking around with IRQs so that the godamn sound would work. But so awesome.

Fallout 3 is pretty good.

Can't think of any other game where the opening scenes show a first person perspective of being birthed.

i loved the horrible, horrible, horrible voice acting and cgi in independence war 2. *licks lips*
