Best Game Cutscene/Intro Movie?

[Dowly]

What is the best intro/cutscene you have seen? (linky if you can find one, so we can see it too :03:)

[Raptor1]

Crimson Skies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A8eiA1jhXc)

Freelancer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHAPSs5XrSQ)

Those are the ones I can think of.

:D

Ugh, how could I forget that... :damn:

[Oberon]

:har:

Hmmm, tough call Dowly...tough call...

One of the classics is probably the intro to FFVII, probably one of the most overrated FFs, but it's a good intro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thsnDqQu0mQ (the remake, I know)

The intro to RA2 was awesome too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnd0qg4I_MM

And, although not an intro, the Battle of New York in World in Conflict cutscene was pretty damn awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMnN4cjDjmw

Also, these cutscenes from the Soviet side:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw3btHkgink
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqy7T3W4qCs

Also, the intros for War of the Worlds...because I'm kinda bias:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMsJqYwvkY8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KuM_HWs1lA

Final Fantasy IX...you kinda have to play the game to understand this, but it was a pretty big "Oh...plot twist." moment:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3dw74XNavI

Medal of Honour - Conversational German :har::
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e28KhpWkwbM

Team Fortress 2 - Meet the Spy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuYi-nzE90

I'm sure there are others, but I can't recall them at the moment.

Dawn of War intro (yea every gamer seen this one :) )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFkFo5SBx-g

I War intro, Part 1 & 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TypvxiBz1AA

If ya haven't played I-War (independence war) time to go find one in the bargain bin.

Um yea World of Warcraft intro :O:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srkeqFc2P14

This Wrathgate cut scene happens after a quest chain in WoW's lich king expansion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPW3ic4hQ38&feature=fvst

[Raptor1]

Oh, yeah.

The first part of the Arcanum intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7jvpU6lR5E). The second part is too cliche to be awesome, but it does feature a gnome (Or not) in a fancy suit.

And for a cutscene, Kane lives (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKy4BdOVsZI)!

[Weiss Pinguin]

Crimson Skies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A8eiA1jhXc)
Oh yeah :DL

[Oberon]

And for a cutscene, Kane lives (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKy4BdOVsZI)!

:rock: That rocks so hard :yeah:

And of course, from the first C&C, Kanes exit was pretty awesome.

Warcraft 3 cinematic intro:

[Agiel7]

Intro to Fighter's Anthology, a pretty good (if a bit simple survey sim).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3b19b5LShg

And of course, my favorite ending to my all-time favorite game, Homeworld.

Pretty much all the cutscenes from the Homeworld series fit in this thread...

[Spyguy101]

Assasins Creed 2 ending was one of the best I have seen.
(Spoiler warning)

[ajrimmer42]

As Oberon said, the WiC New York cutscene was just stunning.

Also the Battle of Ostagar from Dragon Age Origins could rival LOTR, just awesome, it always makes me shiver slightly when they charge with all the arrows flying through the air, and the music is brilliant!

FOR FERELDEN! Battle of Ostagar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVrXW0WVXYw)


Not really cutscenes but:

The 30 Seconds to Mars 'This Is War' trailer for DAO is pretty good too

This is War (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmYfRt-hGpI)


The Heavy Rain Gamescom trailer, the music on this ('Mars' from Audio Network) is quite frankly one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard.

My favour intros mostly come from Warhammer games,

I find there quality unmatched. Dispite how the game turns out there vids tend to be awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UID6LEzvRRo Warhammer DOW

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu4ABhVd28U&feature=fvw Warhammer DOWII

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDZ47fvEG9c&feature=related Warhammer Mark of Chaos

There just damn good.

Its hard to pick because I like many classic ones too. Problem is there graphics are low budged to todays standards. :yeah:

[Dowly]

Ah yes, was thinking of posting the Mark of Chaos one, absolutely love it. But still, Warcraft got some great cutscenes too, visually, need more blood tho. :O:

Now that you linked those, I'll supplement it by chosing as my favorite the WH Battle March intro:

Good one Gato76 I forgot about witcher. Also another quality classic intro.

Right on dowly. :yeah:

[Seth8530]

This thread sucks!...... no one posted any metal gear ) ; *crawls back into corner of damp basement*

[Arclight]

I was trying to, but unless you're actually playing the game, the cutscenes seem awfully over-the-top and corny. :hmmm:

Can't really find it, but the one where Liquid activates Rex, that would be a good one.

* maybe Fox vs Rex

Raiden VS Gekko's

The scene where Brucie punches his older brother Mori in the face in The Ballad of Gay Tony in the face made me laugh my ass off. :haha:
Here's the only video I could find

[papa_smurf]

Has to be Starcraft (the 1st one)

[Biggles]

Comeon guys, you missed some of the most obvious ones!

Call of Duty (1) (The game with the best sound I've ever heard).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijolI14sXEM

Battlefield 1942 (I actually get chills just by listening to the music at the beginning)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb8PQXPOkCc

This one is epic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4iL5uUDf5I&feature=fvst

This old thing is one of my favorite games from the old times:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R77yH1_g_cY

Regarding WiC....I'd love to see them making more games in that series. The war wasn't over by the end of the campaigns so...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdzZBx2eUcQ
(The trailer isn't entirely accurate in terms with the game, during the campaign, the Soviets never reached Paris, at least not from what I could see)

And then ofcourse, Team Fortress 2:

This one is great too.

[Dowly]

I still can't get over the fact that this one won't be released for PC. With most WH games being on PC, there's already a fanbase here, what gives? :nope:

[HunterICX]

According to wikipedia it is also for PC

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (also known as WH40k: Space Marine) is an upcoming third-person action-RPG video game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ. It is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in early 2011.

Bummer. That sucks. I know why there not releasing it on PC.. But it might upset neal if I say it. :o

Hehe, don't believe me, some sources say it's console only, some say it's coming for PC. Tho, IGN says too it's for PC, but then again they also say BoB:SoW was released in 2006 already. :O:

[HunterICX]

I think it's safe to say it'll be released on all 3 platforms.

most sources indicate that anyway.

Rgr that, missed that then, seems to be fresh news and haven't had much attention to this one after it was announced to be console only.

[Wolfehunter]

Woot Pc version is coming then.. :yeah:
