Gorth Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 "This planet is ours, witch!" It's technically not an intro, at least as of yet, but it beats most other cinematics out there. They should stop making silly rts games and do a feature length movie instead “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Hurlshort Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah, I watched the Dungeon Keeper intro a lot. Privateer had a good one. "Who are you that flies so well?!?"
Enoch Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I think we have a winner. (I'm also really shocked at the lack of "All your base" jokes in this thread.)
Dark_Raven Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Fallout 2. Awesome. Blast away those smucks with the mini guns when they opened the vault. BG1. Great intro to Sarevok and what lies ahead for you. VtM Bloodlines. O NOES! I've been turned! Fallout 1. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Tigranes Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I've watched very few intros which made me 100% sure that I was going to love it. Fallout 2, and Diablo 2. FO2 needs no explanation; D2 simply knew what it was, a series of in-game FMVs, and performed that role to a level of perfection I have seen hardly matched. It has its own story so you want to keep watching, it has amazing voice acting, it had great graphics and animation for the time and it was well paced and never too long. Blizzard sure knows how to do things right for what they are.

newc0253 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 BG and Fallout. i also liked TOEE's - if only because it was great to see the battle of emridy meadows visualised. everything went downhill from there. Oblivion's wasn't bad either - that sweeping shot of the imperial city worked well. dumber than a bag of hammers

tripleRRR Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Starcrat: Brood War Dawn of War Hellgate: London - if only the game was as good as all the media they produced Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
Blarghagh Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) There is no better intro than this. Srsly. Edited September 7, 2008 by TrueNeutral

Azure79 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Would have to say that when someone mentions best game intros, I automatically think NES Ninja Gaiden. I was 10 or so and I popped that cartridge in and got something totally unexpected.

Pope Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I don't play WoW, but Wrath of the Lich King's intro is pretty awesome if you know the Warcraft lore.

Jaesun Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I loved NWN2's intro. I thought it was pretty cool. I still love BGII's intro as well as the Fallout's. But if I HAD to pick "Which introduction to a game has left the biggest impression on you?" I'd have to say Fallout. In that for an RPG it completely set the mood, feel, look of the setting the player was about to embark on. (BGII I thought did this also very good). Sadly most games lately just go for flash and coolness... but don't do anything to help set the mood\feel\look of the game.

jaguars4ever Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 ^Awesome, Bok. But this is surely the best:

Pidesco Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 How did i ever forget i about this one? While my love of SS2 knows no bounds, I always found its intro to fall a bit flat.

mkreku Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 How did i ever forget i about this one? While my love of SS2 knows no bounds, I always found its intro to fall a bit flat. Yeah, I was hoping this thread would show me some new intro's but do far it's mostly been people reciting their most favourite games. Come on, people, I'm sure noone really thinks Fallout or Neverwinter Nights 2 has the best intro they've ever seen.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Volourn Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 "Come on, people, I'm sure noone really thinks Fallout or Neverwinter Nights 2 has the best intro they've ever seen.." Perhaps they are. Perhaps, their favorite games are their favorites partly because the intros drew them in. Buyt, yeha, everyone should have the same opinions as you. P.S. NEVAR FORGET!: DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
