I'm gonna go real retro.
"Great Giana Sisters"

Best music ever.

I'll see that and raise it.

Wizball, amazing intro to a game, was 14 at the time and air-guitared my way through every bar with my bed as the stage and the neighbours as my audience.

More recently though, FF7 was good, my word was that good.

Of late, er, HalfLife2.

Excuse me, has everyone forgotten the first time they saw the 'sonic adventure' intro?!

The jump in graphics from the n64 was INSANE! I know its not ingame, but... geez!

One of the only games that made my jaw drop. Possibly the only one.

Second place, dawn of war!

Was coming into the thread to suggest that.

WOW, was my reaction. Got the game second hand; had no idea what Final Fantasy was and was just blown away by it.

tbh

We all share that feeling, welcome to the world.

Ridge Racer 4 on the PS1 was fantastic. Remember seeing it in a gaming mag, they posted like 4 pages full of frame by frame type screenshots of it. I got the game on jap import and it was stunning,less of the illegal stuff please - Davey

Dawn of war prolly my runner up too. Cracking.

Onimusha 3 for me without a doubt. Fantastic fight scenes in the intro which really set the tone for the game, beautiful CGI work.

I played and completed that in Germany, in German.

Was a brilliant game, never remember the intro though. But watching that IGN video of the trailer reminded me of the 'Whip Boy' as the manual called him.

I'll go with Ridge Racer Type 4, or Gran Turismo 2 (which had "My favourite game" as the theme music)

wedgie · 31 May 2006 at 07:23

Resident Evil: Code Veronica on the Dreamcast.

Agreed

Kreeeee · 31 May 2006 at 07:39

I still reckon it's Z

Edit: Actually I really love the perfect dark intro. Shame about the rest of the game.

Smit · 31 May 2006 at 08:41

I'll go for Resident Evil on the Playstation, who can forget the abismal acting in that intro.

Chunky · 31 May 2006 at 12:39

Smash Bros Melee for me

Ah Z, what were those two robots called ? Was Z a console game though or just pc?

Ill say megaman 2 ....... the music is immense.

Indy500 · 31 May 2006 at 13:02

Gran Turismo 2, 3.

If we are going for retro, Shadow of the Beast 2 had a pretty jaw dropping intro for the time (Amiga rather than console though).

I have a real soft spot for Blood Omen : Legacy of Kain's CGI on Playstation although it does look very poor by todays standards.

Project X-2's intro on Playstation was pretty cool.

The intro to Super Stardust and Roadkill on CD32 sticks in my memory as well.

The Final Fantasy and Tekken/Soulcalibur stuff is always stunning.

GT4 or MGS3
I love the MGS3 one and then seeing it in 3D was even better, even if in 3d it didnt have David Hayters voice

knowlesy · 31 May 2006 at 17:55

MGS2 or GT4 by far the best !!!!

atpbx · 31 May 2006 at 18:01

Ace Combat.

james.miller · 31 May 2006 at 18:03

im not allowed to say "alternate reality" on the atari 'cause that wasnt a console so....i dunno. Would have to be ff7 i guess lol
