Best Game Intros EVAR!!!

Nismo · 2 Oct 2007 at 08:06

Was digging around some backed up stuff from years ago and found the Ridge Racer Type 4 intro video that I must have downloaded at some point. Brought memories of great PSone games flooding back, a lot of which had quality (if sometimes pointless) intro videos, especially those made by Namco.

This one is possibly my favourite of all time, pure Japanese cheesy coolness

What's yours?

Just recalled another that sticks in my mind, Gran Turismo 2...

always hard to pick a favourite one but Onimusha 3 intro was quality

Definitely up there, another quality Namco intro

This because I like the music and it's the only one I can remember not skipping in recent years -

The original Dawn of War one is pretty decent, for the first 6 or so months of playing it i would never skip the into

Agreed with the Dawn of War one. Wish they'd done more for the expansion packs!

Halflife is just amazing for totally changing the perception on what an intro to a video game can be.

Have to agree. Best intro ever.

I also love this - Age of Empires II

mafia, set the storyline up great, and showcased the city

You can't beat this to be quite honest:

I had this when I was younger and thought it was a bit "Engrish" at the time. Little did I know....

Always like this one

Apologies if anyone has already posted these, but I can't access Youtube from work... my all-time favourite game intro has to be Rocket Ranger from Cinemaware, closely followed by Red Alert.

One that stands out from the usual crowed is

There is a small break in it where you have to enter your details (when the nurse asks you) and create your character, after that it's back to the intro

Although it was the weakest out of the series, I found the intro to Metal Gear Solid 2 to be one of my favourites.

Diablo 2 when it was released looked amazing, infact so do the WoW ones as well. Blizzard do good intros, as said the dawn of war one looks amazing as well.
