hehe, I used to sing to the intro. Except I don't speak Japanese, so I just made up my own lyrics. Don't recall them, but they were all happy sounding about killing and other mayhem.

I think it was Wing Commander 4 that really impressed me at the time.

WC4 was the first game to use videos all shot originally on film. The entire thing was a huge step forward in gaming production values, at the time.

Problem is nowadays they spend too much money producing video games and can't make a profit. And the gamers end up suffering for it. Arguably Wing Commander 4 started the whole cascade of high-priced gaming over the past 15 years.

These look like excellent games. I'll have to find them somewhere.

Because they've been mentioned a few times but I don't think anyone has posted links, two of my favourites:

Dawn of War
Dawn of War 2

I got Left 4 Dead on Steam last night and the intro to that game was pretty good.

Wow what a blast from the past. Great posts!!

I loved all the mech games, Earthsiege, Starsiege, and the whole MW series. Why did it die? A MW game with today's technology would be sweeeet...

While checking into the current status of FASA and MW, I found this interesting nugget.

Bookmarked, thanks. Screens and story look promising.

This looks fun, probably causes overheating and shutdown. Easy kill from there. Can't wait..

Descent 2

One of my favorite intros.

/agree

And one of my favorite "OMFG...NOOOO!!!" endings:

Descent 2 ending

I was sooo pissed off at that ending... I couldn't wait until D3 was released.

Yeah, I'd seen that as well - both look promising, if still underdeveloped.

I never thought that I'd ever see an intro that would put me to sleep. That one surely did.

Been a gamer for a long time. Played majority of those games being listed. All great intros, the game intro/music that captured my attention was from a japanese only released console game called Berserk. Dreamcast had another game released in the U.S. based on the same character but hard to find. Well here's the uboob link:

--used to read the manga and bought the boxset anime of this story...pretty interesting stuff.

That game is what made me want to get my first PC. A friend of my father's had that game (it came with his IBM Aptiva), and I used to play that every time I went to house. I loved that game so much, I bugged my dad to get a computer (told him I needed it for school, which was partly true). Funnily enough, I didn't get MechWarrior 2, but I did get MW3 years later, and MW4 (particularly Mercenaries) I still play from time to time.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Oh I nearly forgot my all-time favourite: Terra Nova.

 

[Chaotic42]

I like the Red Alert intro. Master of Orion 2 was good too, I just can't find it on YouTube.

The original Homeworld was the best for me, though in recent memory I think Bioshock is decent, if you count the first 15 minutes of the game as an "intro"

yep. winner winner

 

[PhatoseAlpha]

You know, I always thought the MW2:Mercs intro was better then the MW2.
