Title: Best videogame intros?
Post by: The Sceneman on January 17, 2019, 06:02:18 PM
I was on holiday recently and took the 'ol PSP with me and played a bunch of Wipeout Pure. Holy shit the intro cutscene is so so good. I watch it everytime I start up the game. Just oozes that UK cool and gets you pumped up for some AG racing.

What are some other killer intros?

I actually think PS1 Namco had the best intros ever as CG was still kinda new enough to blow minds.

Also think music was super important to a good intro. FF Tactics and Suikoden II are sentimental faves but haven't aged well...

yeah music is KEY I reckon. Thats why the Wipeout Pure intro is so good - the music is brilliantly tied to the visuals

Might be my personal favorite?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDMWp1oLoA0
The most special intro to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFX594xk4A4
This is also special for me.

Too many years spent playing this and I've seen it a billion times and it never fails to muster up emotion from me.

i was going to lose my shit if Soul Blade/Edge wasn't in here
so i'll post the mentioned Saints Row IV mission "Zero Saints Thirty" because it probably is one of the greatest of all time with the most emotional music of all time:

I'm imagining whoever did/does the licensing for music at the late THQ or Deep Silver getting the request for Aerosmith and going "Seriously?"
And then this also repeating when whoever does the licensing for Aerosmith gets it.

Can't believe I didn't immediately think of this one (and surprised it hasn't been posted), total classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQv90TfXrI
I remembered the intro to Silent Hill 3 being way better. Watching it again the song is still great, but as a whole it comes off kinda cheesy. Like a basic music video for a tune on a movie soundtrack that just plays random scenes and spoils the best scenes the whole movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz3ufaZCoVw
