Like the title describes, post your favourite opening game sequences. If you liked the opening video or simply something that was stated in the video, post it here and share it with other people. Enjoy! :D

Hard one this. Call Of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Bioshock, Dead Space, Modern Warfare 2 all spring to mind. But I would have to say Bioshock. :D

The most recent that springs to mind is Uncharted 2's opening. It instantly puts you in the action, and within the first few seconds you know the game is going to be epic :D

The opening to GTA4 is also great, the main theme is one of my favorite pieces of music.

Call of Duty 4, Mirror's Edge and Borderlands.

If we're not limited to PS3, then Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy X.

I like the Fallout 3 opening cutscene, it's really powerful and clever. Killzone 2 is up there as well.

This gen, probably nothing has wowed me like Killzone 2. (as far as openings go) I immediately felt good about my purchase. Same with Heavenly Sword, it was the first game I played on my PS3. I would say MGS4 but thats obvious and Im sure by the time I click submit there will be 30 posts saying just that. The opening sequence for AC was pretty stoke invoking as well.

As for last gen. GoW and the 1st Onimusha come to mind.

Killzone 2, although a rather average game to me, had a fantastic start. Other than that, I haven't really been 'wow'ed. Uncharted 2 was...so so. It just didn't really feel amazing.

Either the opening to FFVIII, or Cannon Fodder with it's amazing theme music.

This gen...yeah I'll go with Heavenly Sword.

I liked in Uncharted 2 how in the very beginning they provide a quote by Marco Polo which says "I did not tell half of what I saw, for I knew I would not have been believed"

(Although doing a very small bit of research I never found that he said the second part of that statement "for I knew I would not have been believed")

Demon's Souls. Maybe not my favourite but it was the first thing that popped into my head. The background music really did it for me.

Both Killzones have excellent opening sequences. The script, and the incredibly powerful delivery.

I can't decide between MGS 4, Killzone 2 and Bioshock. All of them had great openings.

For meI would have to say Bioshock. I had no idea what to expect, and from swimming threw the ocean of fire then walking down the stairs of that building with the lights flickering onand then the first thing you see in Rapture. Epic.

Borderlands anyone? Music fits the sty-le of the game perfectly, and the I love the way the characters are introduced.

Uncharted 2 has a sweet intro as well, obviously:P

I haven't gotten to play Uncharted 2 yet :/ so I can't say weather or not it has the best opening.

but out of the games I HAVE played, definitely MGS4's and Killzone 2's was really quite good too.

On PS3, likely Uncharted 2. Of all time, I'd go with Final Fantasy 8's opening.

I really liked both Kingdom Heart's openings.

Atmanix
Almost forgot about KH1's opening. It was really good. I like FFVII's opening, or lack of an opening, as you are put directly in the action.
