Video game openings help set the stage for the game itself. What are your favorite video game openings? Could be the title screen, or the first bit in-game before the play starts. Could be that you like the music, or that they have a clever twist, or that they're technically impressive. Bonus points if you can link to a PeerTube or YouTube clip of them to let other people here who haven't yet seen them watch them!

Prey, hands down. It would be a disservice to just watch it just go play the first bit.

Edit: I was talking about Prey from 2017, but based on the comment both may be good to play.

Which Prey?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I assume the immersive sim one. It's genuinely great.

The original one's opening is also great. Every time I hear "Don't fear the reaper" I have to think about it.

This game made me fell so bored in the first few minutes and then BAM! "Don't Fear the Reaper" starts blaring out of the jukebox. Great opening to a mind bending game!

That jukebox scene is about the only bit I still remember. The Prey from 2017 was much more my style and has an amazing opening sequence as well.
