What's the most kino game opening you ever watched?

your mom

Banner Saga
And all total war intros except E*mpire and R*me 2

I remember this blowing my mind back when I was like 14 when it originally came out

"The nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island in Alaska's Fox Archipelago was attacked and captured by Next-Generation Special Forces being led by members of FOX-HOUND."

How can people think this is anything but cringe?
So kain went from being a tragic anti hero to a Disney gargoyle but super EEEEEVIL and that's supposed to be cool?

Came here to post all three of these, excellent taste. Here's a more obscure pick, if you're a 90s anime boomer you may appreciate it.

All Namco fighting games have kino openings, but TTT is by far the most kino.

Or

This and Melee remain the epitome of a FG opening. Nothing like getting a glimpse of backstory, origin, lore and conflict of the characters such a short and swift sequence

I liked it with the exception of that high pitched fake sounding trumpet dooting.

Wild ARMS 3 is pure kino.

Say whatever you want about Wrath, but the intro cinematic was the best Blizzard have ever put out. Fucking debate me.

I downloaded toonstruck last night thanks to GOG. It was pretty fucking great and the voice acting in french was amazing. The same voice actors used in cinema.

Been a while since I saw the Abyss opening. Now I want to know who did the the key frames especially for the Asch part, that shit is crispy.

Tales of Berseria had to have the oddest party comp I have ever seen
>A murder demon swordsman
>A pirate nicknamed the grim reaper
>A evil witch
>The demon lord
>A paladin
>A random kid you stole from someone

>"War....war has changed"
>"A tale of Souls and Swords, eternally retold."
>"You've heard of it haven't you? The legend of Sparda?"
>"I got a letter. The name on the envelope said 'Mary' "

What the fuck? Does it become gameplay like that?

I still haven't got a game to give me the same feeling as that fight with Asch

This is the shit right here. Unbeatable still. It really does transcend history and the world.

Yes you just go from the opening to straight gameplay fighting army with no explanation at all just throwing you right into it.

>Spread your wings and fly. God be with you.

I want to go back to that era

No idea, it look way too good for a PS2 game.

Correct on all points. The DMC3 intro is a work of art.

This and the title screen was comfy as hell and got me hyped to start some atrocities and revolutions. I don't know why it appeals to me, especially since I've never actually completed a game of IV: Colonization.

Having never played a ff game this video came across as cringey, poorly translated wank.
It's so melodramatic and overwrought.

It's really really good, too bad it's stuck as a Xbone 360 only JRPG. It was kinda neat to get into how much it would suck to live forever becuase the MC is an immortal

Name another series with openings that invoke such a mellow feel

It's clear you vaguely remember two games and didn't played the rest, since Kain on Blood Omen was an asshole, granted it was not his fault but he was still irredeemably evil all most of the time. On Soul Reaver if you pay attention he's clearly trying to warm Raziel that the future is predestined but he won't listen so he escapes back to the past.
And if you would've played Soul Reaver 2 and Defiance you would've know Kain isn't super evil and his actions on the first SR were actually pretty justified and necessary. Especially on Defiance he returns to being the Tragic Hero.

Brawl had an amazing intro

The music is good. The animation itself, especially the first part, becomes better once you've played it.

Melee's is just the damn E3 trailer, all the other Smash do the same shit but people only fellate Melee for it.

Make way for the GOAT: youtube.com/watch?v=EkQs1TrdhEA

To this day I've yet to see a game opening that perfectly encapsulates the game's main theme, in this case, converging paths, as well as Minstrel Song's opening cinematic.
