It just makes you know you're fighting the bad guys.

The opening to Suikoden 3 was great. Everyone i showed it to loved it. It was a montage of the events of the game out of context set to music, but the way it was cut together and the epicness of some of the scenes just blow us away and got us pumped to play the game.

Also the opening to the original Wild Arms 1 for the PS1 was amazing.

I'm a fan of the Half Life approach to immersion and storyline where its not like watching a minimovie but being a part of one.

The whole intro sequence in the first two Half Life games have been the best imo of the genre, and in the first one I liked the whole beginning sequence where you push the cart that causes the cataclysmic sequence.

Every single cutscene in Lost Odyssey. That game captured my attention for... 60 hours or more

Every single cutscene in the Halo series of games.

The end series of massive battle cutscenes from Mass Effect.

The Elder Scrolls Oblivion opening scene.

To quote the Channel 4 show, Peep Show: "I'm cancelling out of shame, like my subscription to White Dwarf"

There's a hole in the world it's a big black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shi

I like pretty much all of the DoW intros, the Flood cutscene from halo, and some of the cutscenes from Saints Row 1 and 2. Also the starcraft Terran vids are pretty cool

anyone else notice in the "Even the gods know my name" DoW cut scene that his plasma pistol turns into a bolt pistol when he shoots the librarian and then back to a plasma pistol after?

Can we get some videos or is there a limit like the non warhammer related pictures?

This whole scene. Needs some context methinks. (spoilers)

Spoiler:
The team had just finished a very harrowing pilgrimmage accross spira (a continent about the size of england), facing many many dangers. this continent is under threat by a huge flying whale of death called Sin. The goal of this pilgrimmage is so Yuna can get the Final Summoning, a ritual that will force sin into remission for a few years, but it will cost the life of yuna and one of her guardians. this technique has been used for over a thousand years. This scene is where they say "feth the final summoning. lets find a better way"


So. Epic.

That Godhand video was completely awesome BTW Halonachos!

Chrono Cross opening




Suikoden 3 opening




Wild Arms 1 opening




All three of them are perfect examples of how to make a good cinematic RPG opening.

They are all wonderfully produced and aren't the usual J-POP montage. They still get me excited to play these games.
