8 Recent Video Game Openings That Blew You Away

The bombing mission from the original Final Fantasy VII game is one of the greatest opening sequences in gaming. And the recent remake manages to make it even better.

The visuals are breathtaking when compared to the original game. Square Enix took the models from the PS1 classic and turned them into full-fleshed characters. Cloud and Barret have more personality to them. The characters actually look like they’re fighting. And Midgar has never felt so real.

The music blares at all times as adrenaline keeps pumping. The way you slowly move down into the reactor oozes with atmosphere and all you want to do is complete your mission.

All of this leads into a massive boss battle that is miles better than the original and truly tests everything you’ve learned about the game's mechanics so far.

The original is near perfection, and this game brought it to the modern age.
