8 Recent Video Game Openings That Blew You Away
4. Resident Evil 2 Remake
How do you improve upon a classic among classics? This is the question Capcom manages to answer in every second of the remake of the beloved RE2. And this can especially be seen in the opening.
In a sequence that was a very poorly rendered cutscene in the original game, you’re introduced to a gas station that’s seemingly been abandoned. Slowly you walk in as you try to piece together in your mind what exactly happened here. And then, it happens: the zombie reveal.
The moment you see that undead pop on the screen you instantly start shooting it with everything you have; only to realize you’re too scared to shoot properly and waste all your bullets.
It’s an eerie and atmospheric opening that perfectly represents the rest of the game and leaves you terrified yet also excited to see what else it has to offer.
