Not many game intros leave a lasting impression, but the one that always stayed with me was Ridge Racer Type 4. So cinematic. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WedxvbNhiN4 What's yours? |
Your favourite game intros.

Tie Fighter. 'The Empire is on the verge of success. Soon peace and order will be restored throughout the galaxy. Even now, our capable forces led by Darth Vader are striking back at the rebel insurgents.'
I didn't even have to look that up, I've known that by heart (give or take a word, I'm old) since it was released. What a game. -

I think I played it too long after. It just felt dated to me, though I expected it to be more cinematic. -

I can't find it on YouTube, but I remember getting a demo disc with just a video with the song Lose Control by ash blasting out of my crappy TV speakers.

Registered 17 years agoAnd Road Rash on PS1/3DO was pretty awesome, thanks to the Soundgarden track roaring alongside the action.
Terrible game though.

Registered 14 years agoThe year is 2028.
Solar flares have contaminated the atmosphere, turning 80% of the world's population into wandering crowds of evil zombies.
In this era of peace, where weapons are a forgotten problem of the past, mankind has only one option: to defend society as we know it - in cars.
All pedestrians have been cleared from the streets.
Carmageddon is our only hope. -

This is Rupture Farms. They say it's the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld. That's me. My name is Abe. I used to work here. Well I was really a slave, like all the others. Then I learned they were gonna turn us into lunch! That's when I knew I had to escape. So get me out of here! And help me rescue the others.
