Your Most Moving / Powerful Game Intro

[TheJeweler]

My First PS2 Game evar, its funny to me that it is actually the best taken care if game in my collection

This was like 2004 when I saw the graphics I started shitting my self , the game was also scary to some degree.

Because it reminds me of this:

Just knew when I fired up this game and watched the intro that the game was going to be "super" and it pretty much was.

A close second for me would be Super Castlevania, I just love the music for both of these intro's.

 

[Taleweaver]

Hmm...Fallout ("war. War never changes...") makes a strong contender, and with 'Hell march', Red alert (the first one) is certainly awesome as well. Yeah, and Final Fantasy VIII is also in my top ten list (albeit just the intro movie).

But my main choice is still this one:



Not only does it do a bang-up job of introducing the player, the world and its inhabitants, it also shows the game's strange combination of naive, almost morbid, humour and the brutal reality. And to top it off: the cinematics actually flow into you actually playing, which...not that many games do, unfortunate enough.

this one....

I like to read

nah... I guess it was the music (sooo epic), or the fact that I waited 7 years for this game
that was the most exciting text I've ever read!

Don't have time to grab a video right now, but off the top of my head, one of the most powerful intros had to be Radiant Historia for the Nintendo DS. The music is what really made that intro (and arguably the rest of the game), along with that gripping first scene of two children who "failed to save the world... again," but say they'll start over, and "save it this time." Damn.

 

[EMP Knightmare]

Because of finally having most of my favorite characters in one game this would have to be my choice (and I love the opening theme)

 

[Master Mo]

By very far the best intro I have ever seen is the one from Shenmue.

From font to back amazing: You pop in the disc and it starts up with a girl on a cliff in the middle of some kind of forest reciting a poem. (and you like ) Then when you start the actual game it snap right to Japan and you get that oppressive music and you know something bad will happen. The music, the camera movement and the suspense and question it raises are just so well assembled!

It is very powerful in making you actually really want go onto that journey!



IMO a masterpiece!

 

[BORTZ]

Probably Xenoblade because of how much you feel like you already know the characters and their lives.

 

[Gahars]

Probably Xenoblade because of how much you feel like you already know the characters and their lives.

They're that one-dimensional, huh?

 

[BORTZ]

They're that one-dimensional, huh?

Its like a new notebook of blank paper, I already know whats there.

 

[Eerpow]

Just listen to that violin!
Never played the game but that intro music makes me really emotional especially the piano bit, the music really sums up the beauty of CV music. The intro without the music is pretty dull haha.

 

[ov3rkill]

Super Mario games. I'm always moved by how Princess Peach is kidnapped on every series.

 

[Foxi4]

Fantastic game and a terrifying prospect for the future.

 

[DinohScene]

That's going to be Bioshock Infinite probably.

Bioshock 1 also has a extremely good intro.

 

[2ndApex]

Kingdom Hearts 3D, though it was really similar to one of the trailers the way the the music (can't decide if I like the orchestral or vocal version more), 3D, and use of the two screens tied together was enough to convince me that it wouldn't look as good on any other platform. Fangasms increase exponentially with the number of KH games you've played.

There's something special about the SSBM intro too, Smash 64's intro is nostalgic and Brawl's isn't bad too but to this day I still watch through the Melee intro from time to time but I always just mash A through the Brawl one.
