I have always loved starting a new game... watching the opening sequence with amazing graphics (most of the time) to begin my journey, whilst being introduced to the characters and scenery that I would soon get to know very well...
My favorite opening sequence would have to be FFVIII. I remember that scene so clearly that it makes me want to play the game right now!
So I post this to you... What's your Favorite Opening Sequence?

Funnily enough, when I read this thread title the opening sequence that jumped to mind was FFXIII. The game wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but I remember the opening cinematics and sequence being pretty epic. And the same with FFX. Must be a final fantasy thing.
If we're talking about sequence though, the first few minutes of Dead Space was pretty memorable. The part where you run through the corridors away from the Necromorphs before you have any weapons.

Great minds think alike... Final Fantasy X... ![]()
Actually most of the *****, certainly PS2 onwards have pretty memorable opening sequences... FF12 blew me away, but the actual game itself doesn't really leave me with any magical buzzy feelings..
The Metal Gear Solid games also have memorable opening sequences.. The first one is particularly memorable for me, because it was the first game I can recall which truely pushed blending cinema and game together... Right down to the cast listing during the opening.... MGS3 still makes me lol, not so much the opening, but the transitioning from Virtuous Mission to Operation Snake Eater... complete with the James Bondesque soundtrack.
The Uncharted games are also worth a mention...

Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, the opening flight through Metropolis, then when you start playing the levels having buildings collapse around you.
Uncharted 2, when Nate wakes to find himself on a derailed train hanging off the edge of a cliff (perhaps i should include a spoiler warning).
Bioshock, when you start in the ocean after your plane crashes and you find your way to Rapture.
The God of War games, particulary the opening monsters - need I say more.
I was fond of the RAGE opening cutscene, the score and the simplicity of the scene.

Agreed there, loved the Cut Scenes in GoW too ...
I'm a big fan of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance opening, just with Thor and his "Souless Machine, how DARE you strike the Son of Odin" *Thunder cracks and Lightning destroyers the DoomBot*
I actually liked the opening for Marvel Vs Capcom 3 & Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 too.

Final Fantasy X most definitely! I remember that scene so well!
*Runs to playstation to turn on to watch sequence*
