As the eagerly anticipated release date of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on August 28 draws near, Konami has unveiled the stealth game's opening movie. This cinematic introduction should feel instantly recognizable to fans of the original, with only minor deviations. From the iconic newspapers appearing on screen to the James Bond-esque title song, reprised by Cynthia Harrell, the original performer, the nostalgia is palpable.
The video offers tantalizing glimpses of in-game moments, such as Snake executing an Olympic diver-like backflip off a waterfall and indulging in his namesake by eating a snake. These snippets, while devoid of context, are a delightful nod to the game's heritage.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of Konami's acclaimed 2004 action espionage game, originally titled Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The publisher has confirmed that the game will retain its suggestive and sexual content, including the Peep Demo Theatre, as noted in its age rating. Additionally, the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame will make a return, adding to the excitement for fans.In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN described the remake as "an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault." While the game introduces a new first-person perspective, it's seen more as a "very shiny HD remaster" rather than the transformative remake some might have hoped for. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater earned an impressive score of 9.6 from us, highlighting its enduring legacy.
