There was this old game Blood & Magic. Intro was a battle with 2 shape shifting mages fighting each other.

Onimusha 3's intro was amazing:

Also the before mentioned Diablo II is awesome. (all of it's cinematics actually)

But the best are the intros of Fallout 1&2.

Both Fallout's, Red Alert (the first one), Metal Gear Solid 3 (Snake Eater, reminds me o 007 movies), probably there are many other good (or even better) ones but that's all i can think of now.

Seconded. I remember the first time I saw the intro (on PS2), my jaw was on the floor.

Too bad the (aka Onimusha 4) was so lame. Capcom hired a different CG studio to do it, and it looked really cheap in comparison to the masterpiece from Onimusha 3. I mean, it's not really horrible on it's own, I guess, but it just looks far more like typical run-of-the-mill videogame intro CGI, compared to 3's Hollywood-caliber epic, which was as good as anything Blizzard ever did.

Metal Gear Solid 2, the whole jumping from the bridge cloaked. Awesome.


I remember getting goosebumps (is that a common saying?) when I saw this intro the first time. Though Im not sure I would consider it a PC game.

Blizzard games, without any doubt.

Warcraft III for example, has amazing intros for every time you change role/race in the campaign. The video at the end of Frozen Throne is one of the best things I have ever seen in video games, was not exactly a intro at that moment, but it could be easily used as intro for WoW next expansion.


I used to be a knee like you. Then I took an adventurer in the arrow.

MGS2+3, anything Blizzard, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango... But they were already told... As far as I've played that'd be it... Maybe Final Fantasy 8 too.

Others mentioned Dawn of War and Battlezone (though they did not mention Battlezone 2, which was also good). I fully agree on both, and I'd like to add Spellforce (the original).

It's got to be BF 1942 Laughing The dramatic music alone just makes you want to play it.



Never played Spellforce but the intro looked damn impressive.

Metal Gear Solid 2 by far. Simply the best.

However, I enjoyed Far Cry's intro quite a bit as well.

WoW, Diablo, Starcraft.. all of them are just so powerful.

Next on the list are Fallout 1 and 2.

I just watched it on youtube. Fuck me, those are the most incredible graphics I've ever seen. Shocked How on earth they get it so realistic is mind blowing and the lighting and colours in it are breathtaking. That is hollywood blockbuster cinematics to perfection. The actual gameplay looked a bit meh.

Bioshock looks amazing too, I still need to play that game. Anyway, here are my other favourites. Two letters .. id. Very Happy
