FFVI is a good one. That music really sets the tone.

TLOU prolog is probably the most powerful one I've experienced in a videogame.

This defined my youth and was the very first game of whose intro I took particular note.

Man! Not to mention the music too…so good!!

 

[Kaachan]

 

[Mister Wolf]

I was obsessed with this game.

 

[Mister Wolf]

One of my favorites.

 

[elbourreau]

More than 20 years after, still goosebumps.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

 

[MasterCornholio]

The original GoW was pretty good.

@nightmare-slain I didn't say Kratos committing suicide was funny. It's just a pretty impactful beginning to the game.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

 

[SF Kosmo]

 

[Imtjnotu]

This first level.

Ya not an intro video but man was this epic

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Represent.]

Bioshock

Rapture remains the GOAT video game setting

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

i only started playing the OG ffvii recently (like 4 months ago) but omg that opening is forever burned into my brain. i was modding the steam version and had to restart the game many times.

 

[Slaylock]

Always been a huge fan of this intro:

 

[Guardian's Light]

We all know it's Metroid Prime and no one will ever be close

 

[Davesky]

 

[Rykan]

The intro to Kingdom Hearts.

Beautiful cinematic, great music and it really does a great job of letting you know that you're in for a strange experience that is unlike anything else you've played before.

Honorable mention to Final Fantasy VIII.

[Holammer]

Fatal Fury 2 intro, it's so wonderfully corny and "... legendary men return" is private joke for me and a buddy.



Super Contra intro is also a favorite and a fond memory. I have a thing for scrolling red text I guess?

 

[Ulysses 31]

How many game start off with the destruction of earth?

 

[TLZ]

I know many of you don't like sports, but this one is one that stuck forever.



It's sad now they turned it into F2P. It was great back then.

[Guilty_AI]

Never played GT4, but i quite like this intro





Test Drive Unlimited





Driver Parallel Lines





BLUR





VA-11 Hall-A

half life 2

 

[Boralf]

 

[GymWolf]

Not my favourite of all time but you have to include this beauty, the music is incredible

 

[winjer]

This blew my mind back in the days of the Mega Drive.

 

[CherryFalls]

Spread your wings and fly.

God be with you!

Metal Gear Solid 3

 

[TheDraconian]

Came here for BioShock and Half-Life 2. Thread did not disappoint.

 

[TintoConCasera]

 

[STARSBarry]

Quite the collectors item these days, and was on every demo disc I can remember at the time.

 

[Dis]

PS1 : FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, MGS1
PS2: FFX, KH, MGS2, GTA SA, HACK infection
PS3: Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2.
PS4: FFVII R, Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 7

DA:O best opening scene ever (magi human)

Playing that fade opening told me that this was going to be wild.

 

[KrisB]

Most memorable and iconic ones for me would be FF7 and FF8. Also liked the Metal Gear Solid 1 and Tekken 3 intros. That really was such a golden era.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Sorry but any answer other than Half-life is just wrong. That intro was just nuts that you basically see all the areas you visit later during the game.



Honorable mention: Super Mario 64. If you grew up with Commodore 64 and later NES and Super NES, you couldn't believe what you are seeing.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

 

[emivita]

Best black screen voiced intro ever. And the Italian dub is even better.

 

[Rheon]

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Too many to name but I'll go with MGS3

"This is one for the history books, the world's first HALO jump"

I was so hyped to be playing Kojima's latest, to be back in that world, felt like I literally *was* performing the world's first HALO jump lol

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

[SmokedMeat]

A favorite of mine from way back.

Was going to post this, but you beat me to it,

Was nothing really like it at the time

 

[Tomofdahook17]

There is only one true answer.
