"I figured I'd work on my introduction abilities the best way I know how.
By looking into the best opening segments of games.
Let's take a look at what I found shall we?"
Games need to introduce us to their worlds before throwing us in if there is really any
story element within.
We need to know something about the rules that apply within.
Whether it's introducing a cinematic approach that we'll be seeing throughout or an action
packed kick ass adventure that we're buckling in for, an introduction is required immediately
if the developers don't want to lose us before we even begin.
Many introductions make no attempts in hiding the fact that what we are experiencing is
a tutorial, but some games take advantage of the beginning by making us forget that
we are even in the introduction.Here's my top ten best opening levels of video games.
10: Prey 2006 When popping this game into my 360 back in
the day, I had no idea what kind of game it was.
All I knew was that it was an fps and that's it.
I had missed all promotional marketing and was pleasantly surprised that I actually ended
up enjoying my time playing through the short campaign.
The intro was enough to fuel hours of gameplay in my first play session.
You start out in the bathroom of a bar within a native american reservation talking to yourself
about how you want to move out with the woman of your dreams, but she doesn't want to
leave.
You grandfather comes to you about some dangerous unknown force that's headed your way, but
your character tells him to piss off and steps out into the bar.
You get to practice your melee on some ruffians who are stepping out of their bounds with
your girl right before the jukebox turns Barracuda on and lights explode from the sky, evaporating
the ceiling as you see a massive ufo above you.
Everything goes white and when you regain your vision you see that things are escalating
quickly.
You're on a roller coaster of doom and despair as you are strapped into a machine that's
taking you and your girlfriend, who is strapped in next to you, somewhere probably not good
for your health.
As you travel along the tracks you see a man plant a bomb.
The bomb explodes just as you are about to go through another tunnel, freeing you, but
you watch your wife to be scream as she continues down the tunnel to god knows where.
You are set free to play from this point and it was enough for me to be pumped for the
rest.
9: Dark Souls 3 There has never been an opening level to a
video game that had me as enraged as this one.
I hadn't really played a Dark Souls game previously so I wasn't fully prepared for
the punishment that Ludex Gundyr had readied for me.
I slammed my head against that wall over and over again until I had made up my mind that
I was going to take this game back the next day.
"Just one more try" Over and over again I would dodge, swing, dodge and die until
finally "Yes!
FFFFFFFFFFFullfillment."
That entire first area is perfect for setting us up for what's to come.
I ended up keeping the game and I'm glad I did.
I made it to New Game plus seven before finally setting the game down to move on to new projects.
8: Resident Evil This introduction is filled has some of the
worst voice acting I have ever heard, but it did the trick.
It set up the spooks with the cinematic opening followed by leaving you to explore a bit of
the mansion.
You get use to the awkward tank controls just in time to find a hallway.
"This must be where I'm suppose to go" You walk down the hallway right before it
takes a hard right and then there it is.
A poorly rendered cgi cinematic of a bald headed zombie chowing down on a person like
it's closing time at an all you can eat buffet turns his head to see fresh meat.
He stands up and then the camera cuts back to in game with you at the control.
Empty chair The zombie starts shuffling his feet your way and you're suppose to use
the knowledge of those strange controls to get back from the new threat.
This game is filled with spooks similar to this and that's why this is the perfect
opening.
You are now set to be paranoid for the remainder of your game session.
Good luck.
7: Final Fantasy 6 "Take my controls and I'll take away my
appreciation" is what I usually say about games in the opening segments.
I like to be able to choose where I go at all times.
If I didn't want that then I'd just watch a movie instead.
As with all things, there are exceptions and Final Fantasy 6 is one of those exceptions.
With the musical score accompanied by the slow cinematic walk of the three sprite mech
suits and the credits coming in and out, I was amazed by this introduction as a child.
I knew just from this segment that the game was going to be an epic of a story.
Now I still to this day haven't beaten the game.
I had borrowed it as a child and had to return it to my friend, but that opening was enough
for me that even now I remember it and have always wanted to go back and play it.
6: Fallout 4 I have a love hate relationship with Fallout
4.
But there was no hate over the game in the beginning for sure.
That opening was amazing.
The character creator was amazing, with you and your wife or husband looking in the bathroom
mirror as you adjust what you want to look like as the other comments on the physical
aesthetics that you've changed.
"You have a cute nose."
"Thanks!"
You meet your baby and then within a few moments are being rushed to a vault as an atomic explosion
is set to go off at any moment.
You make it just in time when you are frozen.
Some stuff goes down and you end up finding your way out of the vault years after you
entered.
That first opening shot of the world that is your to explore was enough to cause my
heart pounding in excitement.
What an amazing moment!
5: Silent Hill The alleyway.
Need I say more?
Harry Mason steps down a dark alley way while looking for his adopted daughter when he finds
a corpse nailed to a chain link fence.
A siren goes off in the distance and everything goes black.
The walls and floors are now covered in a rust color as the sounds around you become
the sounds of nightmares.
"Nope" I had such a difficult time working up the nerve to continue my adventure once
this happened.
No cinematic scene could ever give me such a feeling of hopeless terror than this one
shift of sound and color did.
I wanted my foggy ashen world back.
I didn't ask for this and I don't want to continue in this nightmare fueled environment.
4: Super Mario 64 I had been reading about the Nintendo 64 since
it had been called project Ultra 64 and was anxiously awaiting its release.
Super Mario 64 was a release title and honestly the only one I wanted initially.
I couldn't wait to see how Nintendo would transfer my favorite diabetic plumbing pipe
diving carpenter into a three dimensional world.
I finally got my chance when I picked the system up and brought it home.
Once I was done making Mario's face look like he had just survived headbutting a moving
train I started my adventure.
What do you know the camera is a character too!
And look at the initial playground for me to practice my jumps in.
I ran around in circles and made Mario jump every which way until curiosity hit me and
I just left my controller that looked like it was sponsored by Mcdonald's alone long
enough to see Mario slump down into a deep sleep and daydream about carbs.
"Lasagna" Such an amazing way to begin your first 3d platformer.
"Nintendo, be this again"
3: Far Cry 3 This game blew me away.
I had never played a Far Cry game previously so when I picked this up I didn't expect
much.
The voice acting, controls, characters, and environment are amazing and it shows us all
of this in the first opening segment.
You are held captive as Vaus, the kick ass antagonist of the game, starts insulting you
and explaining who he is what he wants.
Your brother is a badass with military experience who keeps gesturing you to remain calm.
You feel safe with him there.
He'll carry you through this intro right?
Nope.
You both get free and just when you think you are going to make it, your brother gets
taken down by the mister webster dictionary himself "You know the definition of insanity?"
leaving you alone to run for your life as men chase you down.
Of course if you just press forward, you're going to make it out alive, but it's heart
pounding as you attempt it.
2: The Last of Us This made me cry.
Opening with your character and his daughter, you have some quick banter just before shit
hits the fan.
Gun shots, frightened civilians, enraged zombies, dead daughter and amazing voice acting.
This game's opening was enough to have me teary eyed and pumped to see more at the same
time.
"Why'd she have to die!?"
1: Condemned This was the first game that I played on the
360.
My friend, who had purchased it before I was able to, had popped it in in the middle of
the night and told me to try it out, all while stifling a giggle.
I scoffed at his assurance that I'd be terrified as I used my forensic gadgets to investigate
a murder in an abandoned building.
Some things happen and the police that were there with me ran to investigate, leaving
me with one other person.
That person tells me to go on ahead as he wanted to do something.
I don't know, can't remember.
I go on ahead, now alone and a bit uneasy with this new turn of events.
"I am now uneasy with this new turn of events" I walk down to the end of a hallway and look
to the left just as I hear footsteps coming from my right.
I turn, scream like a little girl and unload my clip into a crazy man while running backwards.
This was an amazing way to set up the frights up ahead.
Alone, surrounded by darkness and with crazy homeless meth heads around every corner just
parked and waiting to jump out at me.
Their lives must be boring, but their existence made mine horrifying.
"Well, I think I learned a lot from digging into this subject.
My intros will be much better now.
Maybe soon I can working on getting better…"
