Favorite Opening Cinematic To A Game?
« on: May 27, 2015, 09:19:01 pm »
Basically the game with the opening you always remember & even watch on Youtube again from time to time. Can be because of the cinematic's or the music, anything  :)



I'm very fond of most Sega Saturn game intros of my childhood (Burning Rangers, Silhouette Mirage, Guardian Heroes, Rockman X3, Rockman X4) Tales of Destiny, Eretzvaju, Sonic Adventure, Psychic Force.



Cyberpunk & sorts
Also Dragonball GT Final Bout

Followed by
Also Galerians: ASH

The Horror
Also Silent Hill: The Room

See for yourself
Also Persona 2: Innocent Sin

Also Magic Knight Rayearth

I'd have to say my personal favorite Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Dat music is so good and it sets up the theme of the game so well to me. I loved both the cinematics for the main game and the online multiplayer.

Main game:

I also have to mention the opening to SMT: Persona 4. That song is so catchy lol

Also, FFVI. Someone is going to mention that games' epic cinematic at some point, and it truly is.

There's so many good ones to choose from!

I can't figure out how to get the embed function for the videos to work, so I'm just leaving them in as links  >:(

It may be dated by today's standards, but this opening cutscene for Resident Evil 2 had a huge impact on me the first time I saw it. I was so psyched to play the game after that (I played RE2 before I played the original), especially since I was already a big fan of the Romero zombie movies.

It was also among the first games I purchased alongside my PlayStation, so this was practically my first step into 3D gaming beyond StarFox and Space Harrier. Man what a shock I was in for, gameplay wise. I can't think of a single bigger jump in the way games were played than between the 16-bit and 32/64-bit generation.

The original Wild ARMs.  Music is awesome and basically makes me excited to play the game.  Plus, the story...   :o

I adore this game dearly, the start up music is fantastic as well, which is here:
Probably the final good Crash game to my knowledge, the sequel to this game was cancelled too.

Three always stand out to me, and this is one of them - that music! :D

Here are the other two:


"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

It wasn't there last night.  Weird.  It was probably because I did it on my phone.

Hard question since there are a lot of good games in my particular case I do love those intros where the suspense and terror are part of the music, clear example is Super Metroid that still today it creeps my nerves out every time that I heard it even when it only last a few seconds, Parasite Eve without a doubt is my favorite even when they practically show almost all the events that will happen just in the intro, Haunting Ground damn the first time that I saw it was like WTF I purchased and of course totally felt in love with Fiona Belly  ;D





I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy
