#Make the intro be more like the beta intro

The beta intro in my opinion was perfect for the game. Not only did it introduce the guest in a cool way it also showed that the people in the town didnt like or trust Quentin. But in the full game instead of introducing the new characters just shows us the neighbor who we know what to expect from already. Mr peterson hitting Quentin with a shovel was not a cool as the guest attacking Quentin. I feel like the guest deserves a better introduction than him just randomly running on the road like feral animal instead it would be way cooler if you remade the intro and had it be more like the beta one where it properly introduces the guest as a threat in the game. The full game intro also complicates on where it is on the timeline in the beta mr peterson was already on the run so it made sense why the cops where there but in the full game they randomly show up which implies the intro takes place at the end of act 2 despite the fact Quentin never even sees Nicky escape.

Sorry for the wall of text but overall the full game intro has so many issues that in boggles my mind why they didnt keep the beta intro since it was nearly perfect

Make the intro be more like the beta intro

I agree. the beta intro was actually an intro and introduced the location, and the characters.

#

The current intro was a massive downgrade in my opinion I hope they change it back. The guest breaking down the bar was so much cooler than Ted just hitting the player with a shovel

spring tendon
#

Yeah the shovel was a lot more anticlimactic

#

Than the guest jumpscaring the player

The Beta was meant to be put into a parallel universe to the current one, something noncanon people could enjoy while waiting for the main game. i doubt the exact intro will come back but i can see where you come from

# halcyon pawn The Beta was meant to be put into a parallel universe to the current one, someth...

The intro was also seen used in e3 meaning it was probably gonna be used at some point. Still I would prefer them taking elements from it mostly like:

  1. Mr Peterson already being gone and in the museum (would make the timelinenof events less confusing)
  2. Have the guest be the one hunting Quentin in the intro
  3. Have Quentin drive to town and meet the people like he did in the old (this would establish that the town isnt fond of outsiders)
#

Also this made me realise that Quentin has nowhere to park has van in the full game

#

Even if the intro might have not meant to be used for the full game you got to admit that it does a far better job as an opening to the game than the current one

I really like your idea

#

but

#

I can actually see why they changed the itnro to have Mr.Peterson in his house

#

because when the beta released, everyone where calling the neighbor's house as "policeman's house"

#

even the ppl who played HN1

#

I think that prob made them change the intro to having Mr.Peterson in his house in the intro

Ikr

#

I really hope they revert the intro back to the beta one or at the very least rework the current intro

#

Rn it just looks like the cops show up out of nowhere

sharp oriole
#

maybe they can show the cops arriving and neighbor escaping

thorny blaze
#

The fact Quentin doesnt even see Nicky despite him probably escaping the same night the intro takes place

sharp oriole
#

maybe Aaron escapes some time after Nicky does

#

Idk, AS will prob explain that

thorny blaze
#

The thing is Nicky would expose ted as soon as he got hope

sharp oriole
#

thats why the cops arrived

thorny blaze
#

Which leaves a very short period of time the intro could take place in

#

The intro implies Quentin was there the entire night so him no seeing Nicky is just weird

sharp oriole
#

but he wasnt there the entire night

#

he just arrived there

thorny blaze
#

The intro implies he was there for a while

sharp oriole
#

"intro implies"

thorny blaze
#

Like at the street

sharp oriole
#

"implies"

Anyway the intro needs improvement either way

#

I really want them to bring back the beta intro that one was great.

#

And would remove bassically all of the issues about it

Tbh

#

Maybe not exactly the same but very close

are you spamming?

full wagon
#

It says closer to it

#

It can range from the music to atmosphere

thorny blaze
#

Also why is this thread back wasnt it dead?

thorny blaze
#

Im saying the intro should be remade to be more like the beta intro not the exact same thing

#

The beta intro was miles better than the current one

full wagon
#

And from the old Xbox post mj seems important

thorny blaze
#

"Clumsy Journalist" smh they literally changed his animations for no reason to make him be less clumsy

full wagon
#

He’s not really clumsy either

full wagon
#

His description mentioned he was from the big city as well but they edited it out

#

Like It’s so weird everything these description mentions stuff that’s nowhere hinted at in the full game like mj is nearly completely absent from the story.
