Bulovski Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 You're talking about MGS4 as being the best game or having the best intro? There are better games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid ocelot Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was little disappointed with the opening scene in mgs4...as someone said,the intos to mgs 2 and 3 were better. But I suppose this suits the scenario. I still have to complete it though..I'm currently stuck in the awesomeness of valkyria chronicles, ninja gaiden and ratchet and clank...and uncharted 2. Too many games,too little time. MGS 3 halo jump awesomeness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 This is only related to PS3 , but one of my all time favorite opening movie sequences in a video-game is Mafia , the music and the in-game city shown is just mind blowing even today. Totally agreed. God Game, Awesome Cutscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Mafia intro vid was great and the music was absolutely amazing. If we are still talking about PC game intros, Hitman: Silent Assassin, RtCW and Quake III intros should make the cut as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 @jDAMN: Despite the awesomeness of HL:2, I strangely don't remember the opening intro all that much. Maybe I remember more of the E3 trailer that used parts from the intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I remember more of the E3 trailer that used parts from the intro. HL and HL2 both had amazing openings... nothing flashy/grand, no cinematics, all first person playable. HL put you in as another 9-5 kind of guy and HL2 set up the oppressive atmosphere brilliantly. I still remember looking up at Breen and hearing 'Welcome. Welcome, to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Some of my favorites (across all platforms, not necessarily PS3)... Half-Life - Hands down my favorite opening to a game and it's not even a cutscene. All the little details made it so cool. Plus the whole "looks like a normal day at work but why do I have a bad feeling about it?" thing was so brilliantly done. Half-Life 2 - Once again, more or less the same as HL1, yet so different. Silent Hill 2 - Very simple. James Sunderland staring at his reflection in the mirror of a filthy bathroom at a rest stop just outside Silent Hill. You know the man is depressed and almost given up on life but yet has a little glimmer of hope... the letter. Silent Hill: Homecoming - Initially comes off as a cheap "Jacob's Ladder" rip-off but makes so much more sense once you finish the game and know the whole story. BioShock - More or less, inspired by Half-Life but the moment where you catch a glimpse of Rapture and the score kicks in is brilliant. Fallout 3 - Seriously, how many games start with you being expelled from a birth canal? Mass Effect - It isn't a grand opening but the text explaining the background, the title and the music give me goosebumps every single time. "What about Shepard?" Prey - Another "normal day but something bad is gonna happen" kind of opening, which I loved. Far Cry 2 - The jeep ride through the war torn African town was probably one of the best things about the game. Very reminiscent of the movie Blood Diamond. Devil May Cry 3 - Dante kicking the sh*t out of demons who wouldn't let him have his pizza in peace. Never gets old! Mafia - I'm glad someone else mentioned it too. StarCraft/Diablo II/WarCraft III - Blizzard's cinematics pwn everything else out there. Heavenly Sword - Pretty much all the cutscenes in the game were great but the opening really set the stage. Folklore - So beautiful, so mysterious. Left 4 Dead - Lots of gunfire + lots of zombies + Zoey = awesome intro. There are more which I am missing. Will edit later... Among recently released games I really loved the opening of Borderlands. It has a really laid-back feel with some funky music playing in the background + Tarantino/Guy Ritchie style captioned intros. Halo: ODST also had an awesome opening scene. I restarted the game twice just to see the intro. And yeah finally, Brutal Legend's intro kicks a*s!

Noctis Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Haven't played it Ah, but overall its a very impressive list. My personal favorites were the CGs from Blizzard's games, especially WC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
