Your favorite Late Title Card?

Thought about starting this thread since I've seen some good ones recently and GB always makes a big deal about it in Quick Looks, so what are your favorite examples of this concept?

My favorite that I have in my mind is Assassin's Creed 2, it's perfectly combined with the music, the view and the story. You just know that you're about to play an amazing game

Another recent favorite is Mass Effect 3, again perfect choice of music, and you have just left Earth while it's being destroyed by the Reapers and then the title pops up, perfect

Probably MGS4's.

At the time, it looked pretty amazing, and still kind of does.

Red Dead Redemption, and that's really late in the game.

I don't suppose the end of Red Dead Redemption counts? If so, that.

Red Dead Redemption.

Thanks for reminding me of how fucking incredible Assassin's Creed 2's soundtrack is.

RE 4 is pretty memorable for me.

Yep, the instant I read the title I thought Red Dead Redemption as well. Now that is some timing for you, right when they did what you least expected.

How about Again? Great late title card in the quick look.

The only one that comes to mind is Symphony of the Night.

Red Dead Redemption. So fucking awesome.

Kingdom Hearts 2, Took a long time to reach the Late Title but its worth it when you see it.

Metal Gear Solid is the only answer

No god damn question that it is Red Dead Redemption. No god damn question. None.

Red Dead Redeption
Jack Marston, walking away, John's Cattleman Revolver in his hand.  Fucking awesome.

Either Red Dead Redemption, or Resident Evil 4. I might err on the side of RE4, because it was all of the good gameplay of an actually good game for once, but all of the bad of the writing of a classic Resident Evil. Win/win!

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is fantastic.

ME 3 made an impression on me. That was a good sequence. Probably not the best, but these things don't really stick with me.

Hmm I played and loved RDR but I have no memory of this amazing late title card, what the hell? Anyone have a video link?

FUCK! They need to release RDR on PC. I've already bought it for PS3 and 360, but I need to play it again! (Sold the 360 copy when my 5th Xbox died along with the rest of the games, and sold the PS3 copy to afford Skyrim on release.)

You might have just not actually completed the game. I almost didn't myself. *SPOILERS* You have to play as Jack and go to a town to get a quest to hunt down your dad's killer, and you eventually find him in Mexico hunting Ducks if I remember right, and you shoot his ass with no hesitation (actually you duel him, I guess) and as he falls in the river, you turn around and take a step towards the screen, then PAUSE BOOM RED SCREEN RDR TITLE CARD. And then the game is over.

*SPOILERS*

It's after you beat the game, pretty much.

Man that has to be the latest title card ever

I actually did hunt down Johns killer, that U.S. Marshall guy, I spoke to his wife and then shot him by some river, still can't remember the title card though, weird

EDIT: Watched the video you put up, I remember now, yeah it's pretty fucking awesome

^ God damn this, god damnit!

Garshasp and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

For movies, Helldriver.

Again, RDR SPOILERS:

@Venatio: It had a much stronger impact in the context that that son of a bitch just used and killed John who I came to love as a character as John heroically saved his family. It's gotta be one of my favorite moments in video games period.

Agreed, it was so damn satisfying to shoot that lying bastard

Red Dead Redemption. The only answer.

If we're talking about movies... then I think the first one that comes to mind is Refn's Drive (2011).

Oh shit, probably Red Dead Redemption and Assassin's Creed 2.

X-Men Origins Wolverine. Not that late, but dammit does it stick out.

@xobballox: Man, I still can't believe how fucking gorgeous this game looks.

Best Title screen at 13:50

So yeah both Red Dead Redemption and Assassin's Creed 2 have great title cards.

Though I really really like journeys too, soooo natural, so awesome.

MGS4 and RDR are strong contenders.

Wolverine

Red Dead.

X-Men origins: Wolverine's was pretty sweet.

Either Red Dead Redemption or the first Metal Gear Solid

I liked Gears of War 2's late title after the tutorial and Prescott's rally.

Asura's Wrath.

THERE'S A LATE TITLE CARD BEFORE THE LAST LEVEL OF THE GAME.

Asuras wraith its pretty great

If we're going by how late the late title card is, clearly RDR wins here, man!

Bioshock had one didn't it?

Red Dead Redemption!!! I will fight any man that says otherwise!

Asura's Wrath easily is the best i've ever seen.....

@xobballox: That's not a late title card, that is an ending screen with the title. I vote that a late title card can't come after credits.

It comes before the credits though, unless there are credits after... that thing happened with the dude. I don't quite remember though.

Another vote for RDR here. I played the game about a year after it came out and had managed to avoid all spoilers. That might have been the most amazing, satisfying ending to a game ever.

The late title card just gave it that extra punch.

I cannot take this thread seriously since it did not have a late title card. Here let me help:

Your favorite Late Title Card?

ME2, ME3 and Assassins Creed 2.

I noticed that late title cards are not longer cool at Hollywood, what's cool now is title card before the end credits, I wonder how long it will take the video game industry to adopt this.
