Post your favorite video game movies.

No! Not the crap they put out in theaters! The Stuff you watch when you load the game.

Some of my favs:

Dynasty Warriors 5:
Awesome and well done. There's a reason these guys have won awards for their animations.

Mechwarrior 3:
While not graphicly amazing, it's really one of the best mech movies out there. Lots of great action.

Mechcommander:
The acting could have been better, but I really liked this one. It fit the game perfectly.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War:
I know reaper won't agree, but this is an awesome opening. Very well done and very true to the universe. I must see for any 40k fan.


Honorable mention: World of Warcraft
I loved it, but it needed more action.

The Soulreaver games one and two.

By todays standard not very flashy, but the voice acting and story are phenominal......

best games I've played to date (IMO)

I'd also have to go with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. It's one of the best openings I've seen.

Diablo II and Warcraft 3 scenes are quite nice also.

As for console systems. I'll say the Onimusha series have really nice cinematics and movies.

Being a TEKKEN fan, I'm gonna have to throw those games in aswell. They were awsome and each character had their own end scene.

Mortal Kombat II...

On the Super Nintendo...

If you held down the L and R buttons while the game was starting, Shao Khan and the dude with 4 arms would come out, and throw a beatdown on the Konami symbol.

And if that doesn't make you crack a smile, you're a cold cold pickle pucker.

DS, I can't believe you didn't mention MW4: Mercenaries. Somebody made a music video of all the MW movies set to Bon Jovi's "It's My Life". It's very good, not great, but very good. I have it somewhere on my harddrive.

Don't forget Dark Forces 2.

But from an animation standpoint, it pales in technical quality to the Warhammer clip shown at SIGGRAPH. That's all I'm sayin'.

I still like the Heroes of Might and Magic intro movies. :)

Blahhh,

I HATE Brian fury. My friend uses him and Bruce. They're tough SOBs. I'll stick with the Mishimas and Kazumas.

It's also about 3-4 years older.

btw, I finally found the correct movie on that site. It was freaking sweet.

LucasArts adventure games had some great cinematics...the Monkey Island series, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, etc etc etc.
