Favorite pre game intros?

[soxfan2525]

I was thinking back about some different game intros and wanted to hear from you guys what you like in a game intro or would lke to see,

I remember I realy like 2k7 game intros, when you started off out side of the stadium watching the fans filing in, then inside the stadium, and then on the field, it really set the tone for every game.

Something id like to see is maybe some blimp views, or special views maybe for playoff or big games only.

i miss the giant moon that used to be shown at the loading screen of 2k7 haha it will be interesting to see if the intro is any different with the living world feature now. My personal favorite is when the Miami Hurricanes run through the smoke...but thats a whole different topic..haha

Re: Favorite pre game intros?

Ill be honest i really dont care for the intros, maybe if they panned back more so you really couldnt see the crappy models they call people. It took me out of the game when i saw cutscenes like that. But i really hope they do soemthing special for homeruns in this game, we deserve it after 4 years of crap.

Was it the All-Star Baseball series where they started w/ an outside view of the park and had the end of the national anthem play? Or am I thinking of some other game? (I haven't played any other baseball game other than 2k since 2005 -- ASB 05)

Anyways, I liked that idea.

P.S. The moon in 2k7 was just phenomenal. I dunno who or how they came up with that idea, but whoever it was is a genius!

i know world series baseball 2k1 on the dreamcast opened with a blimp view of the stadium and then went down to the field view for the end of the national anthem. That was pretty awesome in my opinion. That game was amazing! I still play it on my dreamcast!!

i remember kushgamer a long while back talking about the moon intro. It had something to do with the intro they wanted wouldnt work and all they were getting was a blank screen for the first 15 or so seconds, so they figured would gamers rather see a blank screen or a giant moon. They went with the giant moon haha

Re: Favorite pre game intros?

Aside from the cut to the moon while they were talking, I loved 2K7's intro. A view of the ballpark exterior, seeing the fans coming and going, and then panning into the concessions area. It was a nice touch (aside from the framerate hiccups). Then it cut to John and Joe with a brief rundown of the matchup, Joe's thoughts (normally focused on a star player, yet babbling on about the unbalanced schedule...lol), then pitcher info and playball.

Aside from Morgan and the Moon, it was an excellent intro IMO.

Re: Favorite pre game intros?

I'd have to agree with you. I really liked 2k7's intro to the game. It gets you pumped up to play.

Like at fenway park you would see a dad and his kid looking at the green monster. It was just so realistic. and I really hope they improve this in 2k9. I want it to legitt Real Life Atmosphere

I like the one where Pedro Martinez lets the rooster into the **** fighting ring. That one is great, he is so good at it.

Re: Favorite pre game intros?

2k7 was pretty good even with the clipping and speech delay going into the park .
Also the moon was beautiful maybe 2k5 /6 ?
Triple play used have a COOL quick shot going into the stadiums back in the day .
ASB had tons of in game stuff .
High heat hurt my eyes

Re: Favorite pre game intros?

The problem with the people walking around is they always look robotic and zombi-ish, so it takes away from the other stuff. The people in the 2K intro's have been the same for several years to the point where the clothing they are wearing is completely outdated...remember when girls used to wear those tiny backpacks several years ago? They stil wear them in 2K8.

Maybe they should keep out of stadium intro's void of any people at a close distance or use a "blimp" cam and then zoom into the stadium and focus on the players.
