Favorite opening movie in a video game? - Page 6

Hivetyrant · 10-30-2003, 08:05 PM

My now favourite intro movie of all time would have to be Syndicate wars, it was in dos has cool movies and was 3D, for its time it kicks ass, and although I only saw it for the first time about 2 months ago, I still think that it is the best.
I love it when the cool music starts and it show the bullet coming out of the gattling gun and then zooms out to show the two agents blasting everything.

I like quite a few (indecisive for this stuff. Like my favourite song changing each week).

Guilty Gear X-2
Soul Calibur 2
Chaos Legion
Warcraft 3- Frozen Throne
Brood Wars

Most of the favorite games intro mentioned in this thread are from Blizzard...

Probably because Blizzard proves time and time again that they can create very real-looking movies.. Just look at the ending movie from the Human Campaign in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos. Those roseleaves falling, just soooo well done!

I've watched that movie more often that I can remember. Best movie from the game, IMHO.

I got collectors edition- I can watch the movie without leaving bed!

Well, there is no opening sequence like those from the Command & Conquer series, in my opinion, but if you mean RPG movies It will be the Shadows of Amn (BG). Man, when Irenicus appears on screen... aaaahg! It gives me a need to play the game... And if u mean first person shooter there is no one like the Quake II intro... it is SOOOOO cool...

my least favorite was definitly Morrowind, very dissapointing.

But onto the topic.
Warcraft III. All the movies were great.
Deus Ex. I still cant believe no one said that one.
Half-Life. Another in game intro that blew me away(and my RAM).
Diablo. Creepy.
Starcraft. Hilarious.
Baldurs Gate II : Shadow of Amn. SUPER creepy.

AND.......

wait for it.....

HALO.

Do I really need to explain?
