I thought all cinematics in FS1 were superior to the FS2 ones.

The theme of FS1 in general was more like "dark dangerous space" and FS2 was like "meh, there's so much space and we're so alone".

:yes:

While the FS1-opening was really tensifying, the FS2-opening was (my opinion) WHAM-episode.
It's not only the battle, it's everything. And in the end you see dozens of already known ships and then you see the Colossus and you think:
"Holy mother that thing is big!"(there was a Sobek which looked rather small compared to the Colossus).

Do I really need to explain why that cutscene is just utterly amazing plot-wise?

Probably not because I doubt you actually can.

The cutscene is not about the ship. The colossus is merely a symbolic placeholder of everything that is happening in the GTVA systems post-Sol, the terran-vasudan symbiosis, the economic boom, the optimism after destroying the Lucifer, and the acknowledgement that we have undoubtedly surpassed the shivans in technology and scale. That cutscene is filled with hubris, but this is something that is only transpired when you realize the actual shivan fleet scale.

FS2 without that cutscene is simply meaningless.

And then it was simply very well produced for that time, with every single (unimportant) detail, fooling you to believe this was a cutscene produced for a 24rd century pilot, not for a 20th century gamer.

About the FS1 intro cutscene, it is quite a good one. I never got why the Lucifer was just two nodes from Sol, basically at your doorstep, and then spent all the game's entirety trolling the node map, until finally managing to get Vasuda Prime, and just at the end of the game managed to find Sol.

Or to sum up, "it was just a bunch of Terrans and a Vasudan wanking over their giant squirt gun mommy bought for them". Same thing, said differently. Doesn't mean it was meaningless for the plot.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

I suspect that the people who made the cutscenes and the people who drew the nodemap never talked to each other. Remember that Sol has three nodes in the FS1 map.
