The best intros of video games

There was a time in which enough 10 seconds of music on 8-bit and a pair of images with text to submit a video game. Eventually, the introductions evolved and today we are witnesses of authentic feats cinematic that enthusiastic and put us in tune with what we are going to play. 

Whether for its aesthetic quality or his humorous script, many of these introductions have become a part of our gallery of classics, remembered with the same intensity than games that we marked or even today are still enjoying. 

We will then make a brief tour of the best intros for video games. What is your favorite? 

Red Dead Redemption 

The intro of Red Dead Redemption is great from any point of view. Already in the first 10 seconds Rockstar introduces us to the character of John Marston, with which we miss before the conversations of passengers, all mounted in the sequence precisely by architect reflecting the sense of irony of the situation and the wild spirit of the game. 

Pokemon Red/Blue 

From the graphs of shaft in Red Dead Redemption we jump to the simplicity of Pokemon, emphasizing the nostalgic factor, obviously. Someone can avoid drop a tear when Professor Oak is presented to us for the first time, thinking that time to baptize all franchise which until today continues its rampage on success. 

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 

The opening of Zelda: A Link to the Past will be in the history of video games as one of the most epic moments by its iconic melody and what it meant to the game itself. The intro tells us the history of Hyrule and spiritual power, something that can be repeated in the following deliveries up to our days. 

Assassin's Creed 

Back to modern times, this time to remember a wonderful intro of a magnificent game. Assassin's Creed is brilliant for its storyline and, undoubtedly, the cinematic elements are an essential part of the game. The introduction could not let down. 

Monkey Island 3 

Why is it that the market was moving gamers to graphic adventure games almost into extinction? It will not have been because of the Monkey Island, the saga of games that popularized the genre in the 1990s, when the narrative is subordinated to the gameplay. In short, this introduction has everything: acceptable graphics for the time, music and humor.
