Man, I miss Li Long.
No, it's just very well-choreographed. The video matched the pacing of the music quite well, and the quality of CG, from the scenes to animation, was just very well done. Sigfried taking one last look as his village is destroyed, the battle (and short kata display) of Mitsurugi and Hwang, and the beautiful break in the action as the ladies stut their stuff midway through the intro are the points that immediately come to my mind. Resolution and compression aside, i'm sure many gamers would agree it still stands today as one of the best. IIRC, a high-res version was shown at SIGGRAPH.ElyrionX said:Yeah I think its nostalgia at work here. I never did see the intro in its native form on the PSone. However, I did hear about how fantastic it was so I managed to download it some years back. Back then, I thought it was ok.
Well, I just dug up the file and had another go at it. And honestly, it was pretty mediocre. FFVIII's intro was way more impressive.
Oh, and its kinda amazing when you consider the fact that SC2's ingame graphics are of higher quality than that found in the FMV intro of Soul Edge.

JC10001 said:Hell, yes. IAWTP. This is probably one of the top 3 intros of the 32-bit era IMO.

as far as intros go ...
R4 > Tekken 2 > Soul Edge
that is the holy trinity of PSX game intros
