New Opening Movie Revealed for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

As we approach the highly anticipated August release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has unveiled the stealth game's opening movie. This cinematic introduction should feel instantly familiar to fans of the original, despite some minor changes. From the iconic newspapers appearing on screen to the James Bond-esque title song, reprised by Cynthia Harrell, the essence of the classic remains intact.

The video offers tantalizing glimpses of gameplay moments, including Snake's dramatic backward leap off a waterfall, reminiscent of an Olympic diver, and the iconic scene of Snake the Snake Eater consuming a snake. These snippets, while lacking full context, promise the thrilling action that fans have come to expect.

In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN described the remake as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." While it introduces a new first-person perspective for Snake, the game is praised for being an "admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault." The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, setting a high bar for this anticipated release.
