[7he Talon]

Fallout 4's was pretty cool.

 

[-MD-]

Resident Evil's intro is classic

 

[A.Romero]

MGS3 it's my favorite. The one that appeared after the virtuous mission.

 

[xviper]

still the best

 

[Cert.in.Death]

 

[Codes 208]

I loved the cgi cutscenes of Dark Souls (more specifically 1 and 3)



Also. Um. I loved this one as kid

 

[DonF]

 

[camelCase]

I always let Persona 4's theme play to completion on my 9" CRT

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Shame the game was so meh

 

[Boaty McBoatface]

The absalute greatest, regardless if you're a GT person or not...



Make sure you watch at least half way for the epic drop.

Soul blade Intro
All persona intros
Megaman x5 intro
Chrono cross
Valkyrie profile

 

[Zoidbe]

How has no-one said The Last Of Us, that game's intro was the first and only game experience to make me literally shed a tear!

 

[MayauMiao]

When EA had balls and Westwood was around.

 

[MayauMiao]

This one is BAD ASS.

 

[MayauMiao]

Devil May Cry 4

I came to this thread with the intention of posting Mega Man 2, and not only was it in the first post, but it was the first example. Well done.

 

[Shotpun]

Red Alert 2 intro is pretty awesome and Ron Perlman's "War. War never changes" intros for Fallout 1&2 are atmospheric as hell, but I have to pick FreeSpace 2 intro as my favorite:

 

[mdtauk]

 

[TannerDemoz]

You can close the thread now, mods.

 

[WaterAstro]

So like intro as in opening sequence? cuz...

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

Ridge Racer Type 4


Vagrant Story - 2nd Intro (featuring the best mic-drop moment of all time, yo!)

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

The Witcher 2 intro was great. I loved that ice grenade.

 

[Melubas]

I Always liked the intro to Legacy of Kain: Defiance

 

[Raynes]

Never even played VIII, but this intro is crazy good.

 

[cireza]

 

[Helios]

I hope these count.
Blizzard always had the best CGI around. I know a lot of people who wanted to play as a Dwarf Hunter because of the cinematic

 

[Pippelipeikko]

CTRL - F Syndicate - 0 entries - Disappointed but possibly just getting old.

 

[Zanosuke]

My personal favorite:

 

[brap]

I love all these PS1 era fighting game intros




Soul of the Samurai was cool as fuck too

 

[WaterAstro]

Well, everyone linking oldies, gotta link mines too.

Always love Zhao Yun vs the army


Best CG from From Software


No game or racing game has ever been able to achieve these graphics yet

 

[Quixz]

Nice try WaterAstro

 

[Happy1996]

I love this song.

 

[Kadayi]

I wouldn't say it's the coolest and I didn't necessarily like the game, but I thought the Intro to GTA IV was well done: -

 

[SuperWoch]

Onimusha 3 by ROBOT.

 

[julio_grr]

Quake 3 Arena intro of course :

 

[MetalSlug]

I never skip this when playing the game.

 

[Valonquar]

Suikoden 3 opening


Final Fantasy Tactics - War of the Lions opening

 

[kingpotato]

A couple of my all time favorites.

 

[GC_DALBEN]

Theres so many, i really like bad ass intros, but the one i love is this generation is ORI AND THE BLIND FOREST, the first 10 minutes are awesome.

 

[Skyn3t]

 

[ZehDon]

DOOM

Rarely does an intro capture so much so effortlessly about the game to come. And that shotgun cocking to finish is pitch perfect.

 

[Damian Monroe]

 

[Skyn3t]

Wow, don't believe nobody mentioned that gem.

 

[iconmaster]

OP already mentioned it but when I saw this in the arcade I was amazed.

 

[Sienna Fuegonasus]

 

[Breakage]

MGS2's stormy night Tanker intro hasn't been topped in my view.

 

[MrRenegade]

System Shock I. has the best hacking intro ever made. Music by the awesome: Grep LoPiccolo and Tim Reis

 

[deriks]

"I'm going in"

 

[The Scrivener]

For all you noobie kids out there, literally the coolest opening ever. Cool Spot on the SNES in the 1990s. His name was cool, surf music is cool, surfing is cool, the beach is cool, sunglasses are cool, sugary drinks are cool, the game was cool. Literally the coolest game.

God I'm so not cool anymore. Must play Skyrim to get coolness back.
