My personal favourite:


:bro:
This one is just a guy talking to you but come on, live actors with the "but tommorow you sail to the kingdom ... OF DAGGERFALL" line just gives it some charm.

I always thought the Hitman Contracts intro was really cool, just dropping you(47) into the scenario without exposition..

Let us be honest. I don't like Blizzard. I haven't played a "new" Blizzard game in years. And we all know where they stole the theme of this intro. But it's such a sad, small story that I still remember it, even more than a decade later. Old Blizzard was good with this stuff. Diablo II was average, but the cinematics... "Well...it seems that your terms...were not acceptable...."

Since we're posting cool intros instead of whining about the shittiness of new games...




Some great music here.


Too bad the PC version didn't have this


Just robots standing like idiots shooting at each other, but I love the atmopshere here. The whole game had a really sweet apocalyptic feel.


God i love the military sf stuff.
