Having completed my TV Intros rankings, Im ready to start another ranking project. And Raka has given me the perfect idea for a follow-up project, Video Game Intros.
So first off, whats a video game intro? For purposes of this project, its not a sequence where you control a character. It should be a sequence you watch passively. And it probably goes without saying, but it should be the first thing you see after starting a new game (or a sequence appearing before you start), not 12 minutes into the game when the title screen finally appears. It also shouldnt be too long, generally no more than around four minutes, and it could be much shorter than that. Unlike my TV intro rankings, I will not be using a scoring system this time. My goal is to treat every intro as if Ive never played the game, and to rank each intro based on how much it would make me want to keep playing. You may nominate up to 4 intros, and Im planning to cap this at 100 entries (even though it always winds up being more). You must provide a YouTube link for each intro you nominate (try to find a video thats limited to just the intro). I think thats about it. Ok, go. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So can it be interchangeable like potential pre start screen cinematic or is it only the events / cinematic that occurs after hitting new game?

So is it interchangeable like potential pre start screen cinematic (alternatively waiting on title screen long enough) or is it only the events / cinematic that occurs after hitting new game? RyoCaliente posted... Also, I would need some clarification. Final Fantasy XII for instance has an opening cinematic and a menu screen cinematic that plays if you wait too long. Do both of these count? Or only one of them? Any sequence that plays if you wait too long on the menu screen counts as an intro. If theres an additional scene that plays after you start a new game, that would also count as an intro. Whether its part of the same intro or two separate intros is more debatable. Since theyre separated by the act of starting a new game, Id say they should be counted as two intros (meaning you could nominate both). RyoCaliente posted... Also ME 2 does give you control at the start, but it is only to basically walk from A to B. Would that one count? This is a tough question I knew would come up. My initial instinct was no, but Ive changed my mind. If its literally just walking down a hallway or something very simple and brief, I think it counts as an intro. If, however, its more of an opening level where you can look around an area for awhile, that wouldnt count. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't know if you'd consider the OP alone as part of the intro since it comes after another section I mean that cinematic sequence certainly is intended as an opening, but I dont know if it counts as an intro for purposes of this topic because it follows the segment with dialogue. Im defining an intro as something that comes before or immediately after starting a new game, the very first thing you see. But maybe this is an exception, I have to think about it. What I was trying to avoid was things like an early cutscene thats not an intro like the FFX nomination above. But this is presented like an intro. ... Copied to Clipboard!
