Best Opening Intro to a Video Game

[GazzaGarratt 11,190]

Some music in the 'Listening Now To' thread by @Sennex, got me immediately thinking, what are some of our favourite all time opening intro video sequences in a video game.

 

I'll start! For some reason, I remember back in the day when I got hold of a copy of Ridge Racer 4, I was excited more than normal. For an arcade game, back then it felt like it was hitting a new era, and the opening sequence with the graphics back then I recall blew my mind. I loved the song and everything about it. Enjoy and looking forward to seeing what else others can find and share!

Was a good Ridge Racer number 4, but I don't remember the music, just the cool system for picking a manufacturer etc 

 

 

My most memorable start to a game is the DayZ mod for Arma 2. My first spawn was on a beach at twilight, very eerie and atmospheric.

I played the absolute shit out of this game when I had it on 3DO

 

 

 

This isn't the intro, but I think the first half might be the best score of any game I have ever played. Every time I hear it I mentally see the ruined city, the rain, and feel the loneliness that was the starting area of ODST

I do want to say though that Racing games seem to have the best intro's by and large. I don't play them much, but they typically knock it out of the park

MGS2 had a pretty awesome intro

 

and Deus Ex

To lazy to get a clip but for me it was the original resident evil 2.
