>We'll never have a helghast campaign

I must confess I only like the call of duty vidya intros, and the new medal of honor and battlefield 3

yeah, i know, pleb mode but other intros are too full of themselves

How the fuck do we go from this
youtube.com/watch?v=vlVSJ0AvZe0
youtube.com/watch?v=BCr7y4SLhck

To this?
youtube.com/watch?v=wvYXoyxLv64

Demon's Souls still has the best intro in the series.

Shame the Killzone singleplayer is kinda shitty

I don't know why, just love when that music kicks in at 1:10

>a CGI cinematic in 2004 still looks better than most CGI cinematics today

Yeeeeessss

youtube.com/watch?v=ID2BEXJ4IKc

Boy I remember these sound effects much more fondly than they actually are.

Tekken series has one the best intros

The best
youtube.com/watch?v=1KCDkma8QKo

Tekken 5's opening movie is probably my favourite of all time.

>implying MoP's cinematic was bad

The fight was great, and while the pandaren interrupting it was kind of goofy, that swelling music and pan over the valley was A+ tier.

You wanna talk shit cinematics, talk Cataclysm.

How the fuck do we have WoW but not FFXI?

youtube.com/watch?v=4TGe6PC-Tk4

One of the greatest MMO intros of all time

youtube.com/watch?v=11xfNLrJDHg

I don't get why the fuck they give Helghasts place on Vecta after they fuck their own planet? Why just didn't finish em off and not suffer later like in Shadow Fall?

youtube.com/watch?v=Kghk7WRxa0Q

>I don't get why the fuck they give Helghasts place on Vecta after they fuck their own planet?

The Helghast didnt fuck thier own planet. It was completly destroyed by the ISA, giving them a section of Vekta was the least they could do, especially since Vekta was stolen from the Helghast in the first place which is why they are salty at all.

>It was completly destroyed by the ISA

Wasn't it accidentally destroyed by Jorhan Stahl?

>giving them a section of Vekta was the least they could do

Wasn't really necessary tho

>helghast will never be portrayed as the oppressed underdogs like they are
>player will always be the bad guys
>developers will never deviate from their fanfiction-tier revenge fantasy on NotNatzis
There is no such bitter hatred as reading the lore and knowing that you fight to genocide an entire society simply because they once were equal to earth in terms of power.

Any rumors about new Killzone?

Here you are f a m

youtube.com/watch?v=CEIGu8V_D8g

da bessst

nope

but I guess in next installment we actually genocide the entire helghan race for real and then go "A BLOO BLOO BLOO WHAT HORRIBLE ACT WE DONE! WE ARE MONSTER HOW COULD HAVE WE POSSIBLE PREVENTED THIS?" cue credits

Currently Guerrilla games are focused on Horizon Zero Dawn. Might take few years after Horizon's release until we get some news about a new Killzone. Somehow I doubt they will continue the Killzone series.

I really like this one, mostly because of the music though.

I never skipped this cutscene.

to be honest a vectan millitary squad kinda wipe their planet clean
so if think it will just be a new kill zone games except each side has no other place to go

>Visible heat rays

REEEEEE etc.

But yeah, that music is part of a whole orchestral schtick, which is pretty god tier.

Are there lots of other good tracks like that on the album?
Only ones I know are Forever Autumn and Brave New World

Thank you user for saving this thread

Also:

nothing beats this, not even Snake Eater.
youtube.com/watch?v=ifPZsRgJIXE

They really did a bad job of portraying the Helghast as bad guys, when Visari's speech and the lore clearly has them as the good guys.

>You will never avenge Helghan

youtube.com/watch?v=923fVDDwaHo

youtube.com/watch?v=nLHjtg7cZqY

mainly because of the song, but pretty gud

The music in the opening cutscene always stuck with me

HERE'S TO YOU

forgot my actual link goddamn

Why shift to that green pasture from the snow? Artistically it's pretty cool, but is it supposed to represent something or...?

RIP Mojo 2

He gave his life to open the way for the Commander

Someone hasn't seen Killzone 3's intro.

Just the rule of cool probably. It might also be that it puts the fight in its own little "bubble".

the only game did the steampunk setting right
youtube.com/watch?v=rvXF3oGy-iE

>Vanilla Cinematic
Introduces the races in a manner both warcraft fans and new players can appreciate.
Addresses the current conflicts in a short, but spectacular manner.
The music.
The fucking ground just decays at the feet of an undead warlock.
Mage fighting an infernal on top of a large building.
Druid turns into a fucking cat right in front of your eyes mid jump.
Hunter has a fucking bear as a pet.
Orc warrior going fucking crazy.

>Wrath Cinematic
Once again is entirely relevant to the plot.
Great music.
Frostmourne.
Giant ass frostwyrm.
Army of undead.
Players know exactly what they're in for with this expansion.

>MoP Cinematic
Big ass boats fighting.
Epic 1v1 fight.
Fight is interrupted by fucking Jack Black Kung Fu Panda level bullshit.
Cuts to a great looking world, but chinese inspired and not fucking warcraft.
This cinematic let you know what you were in for, Pandas and neo-blizzard fucking everything again.

Fuck MoP, WoD, Cata.

terrible

Love that one.

Freespace and Freespace 2 are also great.
youtube.com/watch?v=NJ-xcgBL1mY
youtube.com/watch?v=khIWdolT9xY

youtube.com/watch?v=IF7xW0pHeEo

especially considering the hype surrounding this game before release.

Why the hell was the intro for Killzone 2 so good?

I came to the thread to post this, why in the fuck people have so shit taste? You have a fucking intro that resumes a fucking movie in little more than 5 minutes, is old as shit and still the fucking best and you have shitty intros before this one.

This should be the first and only post.

youtube.com/watch?v=GeNVBI0W6yY

All Dawn of war cinematics are pretty good

Nothing will ever top the Red Alert 2 intro.

youtube.com/watch?v=fnd0qg4I_MM

Dark Crusade's intro was okay-ish.

SS is crap and uninspired with maybe one good shot (sisters walking past lying soldiers as they look up).

I think this comes very close
youtube.com/watch?v=OiCGKrp96Mw

>mfw only dead studios made good games

Most of the tracks are pretty good (my favourite being thunderchild). If you don't mind that they mess with the order of events in the novel, I wholeheartedly recommend this to any WOTW fan.

yep, MGS2 pretty much has the best opening ever

Full Throttle - youtube.com/watch?v=Dih7toPsows

To bad about the actual game though

youtube.com/watch?v=s9PRho8Kjqg

Vance Stubbs intro was pretty good he didn't lost 100 baneblades, segmentum command shipped them to other fronts goddammit!

That was Alexander, not Vance.

I don't know the epilogue mission in shadowfall 9still hoping it is a spin-off) make it seems like shit is gonna go down again.

>Not a single person posted these
fucking how?
