Best/favourite video game opening

MGS 1 bandwagon here.

 

[MorningCoffee]

For the worse category I would say any of the FMV games that came out on the Sega CD.

 

[Specific Power Ranger]

Imagine starting your game up for the first time and be greeted to this:



Westwood really knew how to make hype intros.

MGS3 Snake Eater.

 

[XVerdena]

Breath of Fire IV Intro

 

[DennyDifferent]

NO! DON'T GO!

One of the first games I owned was Galactic Attack on the Saturn. Continues to be one of my fav games in general, but dang, this opening man. It good.

That live action cast introduction is still the greatest gaming gift known to man. Wesker's hair is perfect.

So many good answers here. I never skipped the MGS2 intro. MGS3, Final Fantasy VIII, Chrono Cross are great... so many to mention
I also really like the one from Valkyria Chronicles:

The actual pre-game Suikoden 2 intro was already posted, but this opening credit sequence still tugs at my heart. It's after such a great dramatic opening too... Definitely one of my favorite introductions to a game.

Came to post FFVIII, Soul Reaver and Soul Blade, but they've already been posted so.......



Bushido Blade 2. Loved this game when I was a youngin' and this intro got you HYPED



"The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh" CHILLS!!

[Joker13]

 

[Father Kratos]

Onimusha 3 opening and opening section for every GOW game.

 

[Avantgarde]

Morrowind's is in no way the best, but it is my all time favorite.
Short, mysterious and setting a great mood for the game's atmosphere.

[TheSubsequentStrajack]

Gotta be P5, Donkey Kong Rap, or Snake Eater.
