Ryam BaCo Posted July 21, 2004 day of the tentacle has the best intro sequence. all this tentacle-ruling-the-world-stuff is really insane-insane-insane, which is really coolcoolcool. i think i loved the intro to lands of lore 2 too. but i don't know exactly, because that was a long time ago. but all the ea sports-games i know have pretty bad intros. and the intro to baldur's gate 2 is pretty average too, but then...uhhhmmm [edit] because i'm reading "the monkeys are listening" right now. cmi-intro: awesome! i still remember, when i played the monkeys are listening-sound around five minutes long during programming. that was cool. yes.

Guest James Posted July 21, 2004 bs1 was good with the black screen. morrowind was excellent, seemlessly a tutorial, introduction and narrative link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beef Posted July 21, 2004 www.scummbar.com has the cmi intro I think another world had a great intro for the time, first one that was really ... cinematic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcslullaby Posted July 22, 2004 I agree about the Morrowind intro, it's done very well. My personal fav is the intro to Zelda: OoT, mainly because I was amazed at the visuals and that Zelda was finally in 3D. Also, it was funny and gave the game a lot of charm and character.

LeChuckie Posted July 22, 2004 Hello again people! MI2's intro was genius with the technology available to them at the time... CmI's was astounding which made EMI's straight cut to credits just that bit dissapointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emma Posted July 22, 2004 I quite like the beginning to Baldur's Gate 2 as it sets the tone of the game and gives you a really good idea of Irenicus' character. Very chilling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beef Posted July 22, 2004 I second the Zelda OoT remark, I especially liked the title screen(link riding epona). It was an excellent mood setter for the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrChlorophyll Posted July 22, 2004 I'm rather fond of Fallout 2's. Nothing spectacular. It's a completely functional intro. A good example of exposition done right. Besides, you just gotta love the Pip Boy... or whatever his name is. Wish I could remember Fallout's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted July 22, 2004 Thinking about it, Monkey Island 2 was pretty straightforward, but just so effective. I remember being pretty excited with the credits rolling and the new rendition of the theme playing out in MIDI to a montage of 'piratey' stuff, then fading into the lovely campfire music as we see Guybrush on the beach. It does its job very well. LucasArts intros got more and more cinematic really - look at Indy Atlantis through to Grim Fandango, all have very strong cinematic stuff going on. Of those, I think I like Sam & Max's best. For sheer comedy and setting up the characters/situation, it's a wonderful start to the game. Again, LucasArts' credits/montage idea is very effective, a series of funny drawings of Sam & Max at work, busting punks, before we reach their office to dispose of the ticking mad scientist head/bomb. Classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Edison 007 Posted July 22, 2004 I loved Sam & Max the most, but I also liked Custer's Revenge's. It really put me in the mood to rape Native American women tied to cacti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted July 23, 2004 Sonic CD intro was pretty good and much as the game sucked, the intro to Sonic Adventure was a good watch too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manny_c44 Posted July 24, 2004 And who can forget the Syndicte opening cut scene? That was great opening to one of the best games of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Udvarnoky Posted July 25, 2004 jp-30 said: Most of the LucasArts classic adventures had damn fine intro sequences (and were dame fine after the intro sequences too). Indeed. I can't think of a bad one. Even the oldest had good intros. For me the highest honors go to DOTT, Full Throttle and Grim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldstone Posted July 25, 2004 Mechwarrior 2 stands out for being the first intro that made me go LOLWTF?!!!!!!11111111111 More recently, Diablo 2. Freelancer had a fun intro too, sort of impacts on a more emotional level than the actual content of the intro suggests. That and I'm a big girl... I nearly cried whilst watching Spiderman 2, you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember playing NetMech or something for Mechwarrior 2 on the internet, and everyone sucked because low ping 1337 bastards weren't that common back then. So much fun. The intro to Mechwarrior 2 rocked! Didn't Digital Domain do the prerendered animations? I didn't exactly react the same way goldstone did... it was more like "OMFG, F F F F F F!!!!!"

Ryam BaCo Posted July 25, 2004 that reminds me to something else: does anybody know the video sequences in battle isle 3? they're very funny, because these are the worst sequences i've ever seen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beef Posted July 25, 2004 The "old" freelancer intro was great. In the final game they cut half of the intro, namely the whole nomads showing up and blowing up the sun. "It's ironic that in those last moments, we were finally united as a people." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginger Posted July 28, 2004 Final Fantasy VII blew my mind at the time, FFVIII was pretty good but a tad pretentious. Erm Tekken was good as was C&C and red alert. It wasn't good but is note worthy Mega Race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil_k9 Posted July 20, 2005 Warcraft 3 was decent, i liked diablo 2, and sungeon keeper the origional. i am doing a project at school, and am trying to find all the video's again as market research, coz i am doing my own 3d animation. but mu vote goes to dungeon keeper, coz back in the day it had a profound affect on me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
