Total Annihilation is still one of my all-time favourite RTS games. The music by Jeremy Soule, played by a 96-person symphony orchestra, is still the best game music ever, IMO.


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

A few I recall.

Pretty good intro here, made great by the music:


Enjoyed this one, and the main music themes are not featured, but even better:

A little change of pace with two of my favorites


1. The intro to the 1st Mafia game from 2002, which used all in game graphics along with a memorable theme song.
It ended seamlessly with the opening cut scene to start the game.


A long as Panzer started with a TW game, here's my fave of the series

2. All CGA intro for Shogun II (2011) This one's in 1080p with a great mo-cap sword duel.


Cheers

I thought this was amazing back in the day but it's not aged too well...

Armored Core...mediocre games, but great intros.






The new Deus Ex has a pretty good one. The background video you can watch summing up the last game is good too. The intro:

Amen, and make it multi-platform, so we can have a PC version.

Excellent choice there, two among my favourites too! Mafia was extraordinary right from the intro.

I see a Mechwarrior mentioned already. This was my first PC game and its intro gave me goosebumps for ages. It still does.

So many great videos. Man Jane's Longbow and Rainbow 6 gave me the nostalgia fuzzies. I can almost feel and smell where I was in my mind which is weird I guess lol. Mafia also is exceptional. 2KCezch/Illusion Softworks always did a great job with that engine. Felt so organic and the music and sound details are second to none. I agree, we need a Red Dead Redemption pc port and a sequel. John Marston is now one of my favorite gaming characters. Here's a few:





adlab picked a good one. Not pc but these deserve notice. Always loved the opening mission intro. Snake Eater was also very good.

Romans 10:1-13

This is one of my favourites.



That Farrow bloke you executed today, are you sure he's dead?
Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick.
Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake.
No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

EAW is still fairly long by today's standards but can you see ANYONE sitting through a three of four minute intro anymore?

I second this. The Mechwarrior 2 intro left a lasting impression on me.
