Top 5 Opening Cinematics and Movies in Video Games

One of the things I like least about modern video games is the increasing tendency to kick off any given title with a explanation of the game world's back-story. Then when there is an opening cinematic, it's overly serious and accompanied by an orchestral theme. To me, there's nothing in a game like an intro sequence with no dialogue or plot advancement; just nonstop action accompanied by music so cheesy that it makes Cheetos seem plain.

FF8 for its time had a good opening cinematic.

good list by the way.

FF8 was epic back in '98! Opening sequences and cut-scenes moved a lot of JRPGs back then.

You took the words right out of my mouth

Final Fantasy VIII is the first game that comes to mind for greatest opening cinematic

Good list!! The SoulBlade intro definitely deserved that no. 1 spot!

kesvalk4797d ago

agreed, when i got to the number one and saw it was soul edge, tears came into my eyes and i needed to some minutes to see the video cuz my vision was all blurred...

that opening is too awesome to be legal...

The Street Fighter 4 intro was awesome! I never got really good at the game but every time I popped it in I watched the intro.

SquareEnixFan4797d ago

Soul Blade was an excellent choice. Tales of Vesperia, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Suikoden 3 are some of my other favorites.

Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!

At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.

Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
