Favorite Video Game Opening

What is your favorite video game opening?

Mine has to be Wind Waker's it is, simply, breath taking.

The opening to Oblivion is pretty BA, as is the opening to a bunch of Zelda games. Also epic are the openings to the Dynasty Warriors games. But those are a different kind of awesome.

A tie between those two, though the Starcraft 1 has a slight edge, imo.

Do you mean like the opening cinematic video, or the opening gameplay sequence as well, or either?

From your example, I'll assume the former, and from it, I have quite a few I like. Can't say I can very easily taper it down into a few favorites.

As far as which opening gameplay sequences though, God of War knows how to kick off a start each game for sure. Being a staple element can make it seem redundant over time, but that's a nitpick in the face of the shit they think of.

Remember your Death.

Fantastic opening. Its fun to see it again after you've gone through once and pick up on all the symbolism and see that awesome bit of wordplay. Momento Mori indeed. Can't wait til Persona 5.

The Gambit Losing's Not My Style

Dawn of War the first game had a really cool opening cinematic, very emotional and epic.

Warhammer Mark of Chaos and Battle March both had amazing graphical displays in there openings particularly Battle March the whole thing looks so real.

General G Canadian.

Looooooved Halo 2's, Prophet of Truth being badass, with the Arbiter holding his own. Clear contrast between the two societies with the Chief getting medalled.

Yeah

That sergeant charging his heavy weapons squad into a mob of Ork Boyz sure was epic.

^ That was really ****ing awesome, yeah.

I was looking at Halo 2 cutscenes yesterday. Such a good game, even with the cliffhanger ending.

SIMPLY EPIC!!!

For music intro it's easily Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
I love the haunting feel it has and it fits the Prime series' lonely atmospheric nature perfectly.

Final Fantasy 8's FMV intro made me cream my pants back when I was a teen.
