Just got out my PS4 and started up far cry 3 again and man does that opening sequence set up the game and hatred for the antagonist. Gives me chills.

The opening cutscene from Oblivion will always give me chills.

Not the best one I know but one that always comes to mind is Sons of Liberty when Snake is smoking the cigarette in the rain before he jumps on the tanker.

Life is strange. The opening scene sets the tone and gets you enough detail to keep you interested for the rest of the plot

Personal favorite is Spider-man, the whole opening showing how his life is then jumping right into tutorial then main story had me hooked.

Sonic and Tails with their aerial assault on Robotnik's fortress in Sonic Spinball. SO INTENSE.

My answer is, with absolute confidence, Psychonauts 2.

Resonance of Fate. Flashy, gives you backstory, and is INCREDIBLY fun to watch all at once.

> gives you backstory
that game has a story?
krowfacedfox t1_j6kd7gd wrote
...duh?
It has a pretty damn interesting and complicated story, and side-stories for each of the characters.

Another great one is the Witcher 1. https://youtu.be/vCsu1CueLgo

It's a toss up between Halo 5, and Space Marine.

Maybe not the most visually impressive, but most memorable for me is Borderlands with No Rest for the Wicked playing.

I don't know if it's necessarily the best, but I've always been a fan of the opening to Day of the Tentacle. "I feel like I could... like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!!!!!"
Zork: Grand Inquisitor is another fave. "You must never forget who is the boss of you: ME! I AM THE BOSS OF YOU! I AM THE BOSS OF YOU! I AM THE BOSS OF YOU!..."

Considering it’s age, I still think Onimusha 2’s storybook style opening holds up well.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon starts with a theme song cutscene, like an anime opening. It made a pretty strong impression on me as a kid. Perfectly sets the wacky tone of the game, and the song is pretty uplifting, too.
