Poem at the beginning?
 

Anyone know the title and/or author of the poem narrarated during the opening movie? I like the way it's presented.:D

Sounds like Shakespeare to me. But I'm not entirely sure.

"On Time" by John Milton: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton/rea...me/index.shtml

Strange choice for a submarine game, but whatever! :shifty:

Heh, awesome, thanks!:)

It does make me feel like reading shakespeare, actually. :rotfl:

It is called "On Time" by John Milton.

EDIT: Opps, see it's already been posted.

I thought the opening CutScene was EXCELLENT.:up:

Its so good - I always let it run to completion on fireing up the game.

Just goes to show you diversity makes the world go 'round...and that's a good thing. You liked the film and I consider it a pretentious piece of garbage. :lol:

I loved it. Much better than pompous band music and deep voices saying "We are at war ..."

lol its so emo but yet so amazing.

I was disappointed that it was just an ingame video that was sped up. At least SH3 had a FMV of a convoy attack. That was neat. This...not so much.

I think its one of my favorite opening intros that I've seen. Its very original and I think the poem makes sense in the context that it is uses. War is useless

I think it's odd that it's a US submarine game and the narration is by an English guy. Not that I'm prejudiced against English narrators (I'm English myself), but I just felt that it would have been more in keeping with the theme if it had been read by an American.

I thoguht it was a bit melodramatic, but given the presentation of the opening movie, oddly appropriate, and very cool. I have to admit though i think "galloping ghost of the japanese coast" would have been cooler.

my guess is they wanted it to sound like milton reading it?

I rather enjoyed the opening.

Gives the game more dramatic... weight.

I admit it's odd for an intro, but it really struck me as very cool.
