GTA 2 Opening Intro 

Damn GTA2 has better graphics than GTA 5....Wtf happened Rockstar ?

"And remember respect is everything!"

Still the only GTA game to ever implement the respect system and I feel Rockstar has dropped the ball with this. Could you imagine if you had a GTA V type game with it's cinematic stories and vibrant world, but instead of having one linear main story, you'd have multiple possible stories depending on which outfit you chose to work for; like, one preprogrammed story for you climbing to the top of the mafia, one where you become a triad boss, one where you are with a biker gang, etc. If you work for one criminal organization, another would close it's opportuinities to you and even attack you on sight. And they could even have implement choices where you join no one and where you instead can chose to become a highly paid assassin, a freelancer... or even undercover operative for the cops. So much potential was lost when nobody chose to look back and realize how much freedom there was in GTA 2, if a very simplistic kind.

Wow this is the most realistic graphic ever on all GTA games 😂😂

I remember as kid, i would restart my playstation 1 over and over again, just to see this intro. So many memories.

The BMW is ahead of it’s time, still looks good to this day

Level 1: Play GTA V Level 2: Waiting GTA 6 Level 100: Play GTA 2

Honestly this is pure gold even to this day...

Respect is everything

Back in the day you didn't need any fancy graphics, a little introduction like this and you had the fuel needed to imagine whatever you wanted. When I think of GTA 2 and the way I saw this game as a child, I think of it as this intro, I played like everything was a movie with so little pixels... just magic, this game will always be one of my special gems.

Ever since I was a kid this has been and will always be my favorite gta. I played it so much on my pc back then.

One of the most legendary intros in gaming world! What a gold times! 😃⭐

"In the city, respect is everything" GTA San Andreas in a nutshell

Respect is everything -Claude Speed

1:09 Claude speed 🗿

Still just as good as it ever was. One of the best game intros of all time

the music is called 'rhythm' by engineers without fears

This is one of most criminal-badass intros I have seen in games.

Them: Watching GTA 6 Trailer Me: Watching this to hit nostalgia

The main actor in this is a long running character in the UK Soap EastEnders. Jack Branning.

Whoa GTA 2 Intro graphic look so real... XD

This intro is what made this game amazing and immersive. Rockstar really psycho'd us into thinking we are really playing that guy in the intro. And all of this happened when we were just a kid not knowing anything about violence.

1:30 Ryder?

One od most iconic intro in games history. All the years and i still remember it. Thanks for the video and memories.

Fun Fact! The main guy is Jack Branning from Eastenders..British people know

1:08 in the computer puts Claude Speed

Based On A Very True Story Taken In Brooklyn/Manhattan NY 10/1990

1:32 perfect sync with the squeak

0:19 Twin Towers. Makes me cry everytime.

Ahh I'll never forget playing this on my dad's PS1. Loved the intro!

i remember playing this game on ps1 as a kid when it first came out and honestly when we used to look at this same intro and see that E39 appearance it was mine blown 🤯 for us kids & adults 😂 back then this car was a legit star ⭐️ everyone would stare at the new body style of the 5 series rolling down the street it was less than 2 year old car that time . very nice childhood memories ❤️

1:47 *Gee Tee A… 2!*

i loved this intro as a kid, so badass, that dnb

1:17 lmao pay n spray

In the city... Respect is everything

“You wouldn’t steal a car”

Сколько раз смотрю это интро и понимаю, что это видео лучше всех передаёт дух, понимание и атмосферу гта.

Love the E39. One of the best looking bmws

"And remember! respect is everything." Best childhood ever, man. Thank you Rockstar

I always loved how they said at the end GTA 2

Still one of my fav game intros. Anyone notice how the very start when it shows the logo looks and sounds verrry similar to GTA V? I thought of that the first time i played GTAV lol. Being that i was a huge fan of 2.

That BMW is so beautiful...

I just got goosebumps watching this vid. Brings back good old times

That would be such a good movie

I used to think this was the most badass thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life when I was younger

GTA 2 But It's LC/NY

1:47 GTA2!!

This will probably blow up in another 13 years

They sure love the E39, I don't blame 'em

GTA 5: we got the best intro in the whole series GTA 2: I'm bout' to end this game's whole career

Outta nowhere: "yakuza..."

I so love this damn track

0:19 world trade center :(

Its funny how the actual game is futuristic but the intro is contemporary.

Lol you gave nostalgic to me 😂😂 this was the best intros i ever seen when im still on kindergarden

It's interesting that in this video, we see some game mechanics (heists) that only truly got executed perfectly in GTA 5.

0:40 yakuza. Like the gang in gta 3

Me every time I try to deliver nightclub cargo: 0:58

1:25 Jerzy Urban !!

AND REMEMBER, RESPECT IS EVERYTHING. -WORDS TO LIVE BY. DONT EVER FORGET IT.

0:52 Claude: soooo who am I gonna drive over today

Back when the respect was everything and not a stupid Opressor

the only time the twin towers were shown in the GTA series.

I remember this intro from when I was a kid and played it with my dad. I always watched the whole intro becouse he knew I loved it

1:45 WASTED !!

I really need a movie about Grand Theft Auto one day

shit im impressed, i havent seen this one in like 14 years and its actually very well directed, tells you the story of a fictional movie around the history of the game. Having the zaibatsu logos around is a cool attention to the realism of this world. Also the first time i notice claude speed gets shot at the end, never got that before lol

This always got me so hyped when starting the game. Such a good game.

This should be a fucking movie!

Man, this intro is better than a lot of action movie openings

It has become a tradition for me to watch this intro every once in a while

Good times :) cant believe its been 17 years

"Respect is everything..." My journey of Grand Theft Auto started with this title. It was like love at first sight. This game just sucked me into the GTA universe like a black hole. Amazing!

Thanks youtube for recommending me this 13 years later lmao it's pretty dope

Que nostalgia cara, junto com mega man x4 esse foi o primeiro game que eu joguei no ps1, bons tempos...

Graphics look sooo real! I wonder if this is actually going on somewhere in the world, like you're controlling it happening.(6-8year old me thoughts)

1:31 "Dead." "Dead!"

Damn!! Check out those beautiful e39’s!!

Damn thats bryan zampella back then 😂😂😂😂

gta , before to be what we know now

The most memorable GTA intro there likely ever will be

this was so memorable for me.. man the memories!

LEGENDARY!!!! Finally I see it again 💪🏻

So so many good memories started while playing this game with my friends 🤩

Brings back memories to the good old day of my childhood playing this awesome game lol I like this intro a lot more the the others. Except the only thing I don't recall is him actually being killed in the intro but oh well, still awesome lol

Seeing this intro as a little kid made my heart race before even playing the game^^

0:43 Yakuza 🗿🗿

De lejos, la mejor intro de la Saga GTA.

A lot of good memories with this game. Thank you Rockstar

Legendary intro ❤️❤️❤️

Wouldn't that be a historic moment if someone could find the bmw that was used in this

Awesome, One of the best trailers I've seen. Rockstar rules!

Back when we used to wish if gameplay could match graphics of cutscenes, 2021 and we are well on top of it now ✌️

who's here after the gta 6 trailier?

nobody gonna talk about how thew guy in the car and such is Jack Branning from EastEnders.

AND REMEMBER RESPECT IS EVERYTHING!

One of the best game intros ever. The music is great. I also like the guy that shots claud, he looks cool! :P

I love the end where the guy just acts like he’s shooting the gun xD best part of the whole intro

Cant wait for gta 11!

When i was a kid and started to learn English, i always thought that bald guy at 1:31 said "ass"😂🤦🏾‍♂️
