Graylands Incident from Vagrant Story, the combination of the art and music are atmospheric as hell and set the tone of the game perfectly.

I'm binging epic videogame opening movies that make me want to play the game. What is your all time favourite?

Not bad, not bad at all, I don't think I've seen this version before. But as far as GT5 is concern, I kinda like the original intro - yes, with that crazy long video showing a car factory:
The Gran Turismo 2 is closer to my heart because it brings so many good memories about life in general around that time. By then, I didn't speak English, the only thing I could get from the song was "my favorite game" and that kinda stuck: GT2 is my favorite GT game and I'd put in my top 5 of all time.
To be fair, the only GT intro that I don't like is the GTSport SpecII one: it is so silly trying to push drama and excitement with some dudes seatting down on a sofa.
This. Subsequent entries can't hold a candle to this greatness.
Was the reason why I started playing FFXIV. Sure End of an Era is better but that was maybe less inviting.
I really like the opening movies for the 3DS fire emblem games
Fire Emblem Awakening
Fire Emblem Fates

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.
Jesper Kyd's music.
The reveal.
The narrative build-up.
*chef's kiss*
Edit: looking at it now, it's clearly almost a 1:1 of MGS1's opening sequence, but WAY better written and with even better music IMO.

What an absolutely killer game.
haven't played in 15-20 yrs and really makes me want to go back
Don't know if Epic enough but I'm a misanthropic miserable fucker IRL but watching this I get a little lump in my throat at the advancement of human civilization and want to fire it up immediately and win an easy Culture victory as Russia as Russia are OP.
Every single FFXIV opening. Heavensward's alone made me power thru the sluggish parts of Realm Reborn because it was so hype (even if it spoils the later events of the original story)
FFVII also blew my mind as a kid, and I've avoided watching the remake's version because I wanna get the nostalgic tinglies when I start the game itself
Also - Toot Toot Sonic Warrior > Sonic Boom
Also... the cheese is too good in Sonic Adventure

This is what I came to post, though now I just put it on to listen to the music.
Might not be a popular answer, but I just loved the music and aesthetics for Wipeout 2048's opening
Gets me so hyped

Good stuff right here. Loved watching this over and over when it came out.
Mechwarrior 2+Mercs and Descent 2, and Quake 2 used to be this.
They aged really, really awkwardly but at the time they were something else.

Yeah, this is probably my all-time favorite intro movie for a game.
All of the TOR cinematics are better then the actual Star Wars movies.
Yup. This is the stuff alright.
FF VIII takes first place. Blew my mind back then...
Speaking of Devil Summoner, I love the opening (I guess it's actually the attract screen or whatever, but still) for the first Raidou Devil Summoner game. I think it does a great job at expressing the tone of the game, which can be much more lighthearted than other SMT games while also diving into some of the darker ideas the series is known for. It gives a little look into the characterization for the main cast, and the jazzy theme is great- I especially like how the horn blasts sync up with the credits, and how it hits its peak with the big fight near the end of the video where Raidou dodges the demon attack.
