the best game intro/ingame video ?

[GravyMonster]

This was an amazing intro for the time.

The ending was equally as awesome:

Abe's Odyssey

"This is Rupture Farms......"

Gives me chills just watching the video on youtube

DC Universe Online

(someone really needs to make a movie of this)

only thing that comes close is advent children and that took 7 years to make, but with todays tech they could probly manage to make films of that scale inside of 2 years. i guess they dont think that people would enjoy a full cgi movie

My personal favourite

 

[DAIR]

Final Fantasy 7 was pretty cool!

 

[Random Guy]

MGS2, at the end of the Snake section when Ocelot back-flips Ray into the Ocean - my jaw dropped and stayed like that for a good while - just felt so epic!

 

[hobobob]

Opening Cut scene from Vanilla WOW. Blew me away after playing WC3.

 

[Stewy]

Metal Fatigue intro was good.

 

[MeAnBoY]

Was pretty blown away when I saw KZ2's intro for the first time

edit: Also need to add this one in!

still not that bad looking all these years later!

 

[almighty151986]

Not so much an intro or cut scene but by far the best damn game trailer ever released by anyone...


Still gives me goose bumps...

Silent Hill 2 trailer was also epic!

 

[Pumpkinstew]

I found the Z Steel Soldiers intro but, alas, swearies... You'll have to find it yourselves.

Wing Commander IV - They don't make 'em like this anymore
(Yes, that's Luke Sywalker and Biff Tannen )

Privateer 2 (Yes, that's Clive Owen)

Freespace 2

Too hard for me to choose:

I thought the soundtrack used in the Jap version sounded a lot better

I prefer 8's.

 

[Aeleys]

I prefer 8's.

really? each to there own i guess lol

i just think X had the best mix of music and visuals for an intro to a game, let alone all the other cut-scenes during the game.

pretty much untouchable as a whole. (from all the games i have seen and/or played)

not to say there are some fantastic videos from other games, but yeah.

Are you thinking of the Japanese soundtrack to GT4?

Got to be the Half life 1 train ride in to black mesa.
Best intro on a console would be Final Fantasy 8 for me.

 

[mame]

On the always sticks is my mind is Prey. The whole start of it where you get beamed up into space. unfortunately, that was the best part of the game by far.

 

[DAIR]

Are you thinking of the Japanese soundtrack to GT4?

Nope. The track for the first GT game.

It was shortly after the english release that I realised different regions receive different sound tracks.

 

[Gashman]

hell, forgot the Gears of War II speech, Prescott's speech, since that is strictly speaking the intro to Gears II, that is epic! quite literally!
