Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Unveils New Opening Movie

As we approach the eagerly awaited August release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has unveiled the stealth game's opening movie. This cinematic introduction should feel instantly recognizable to fans of the original, with subtle deviations that maintain the essence of the beloved game. From the iconic newspapers appearing on screen to the James Bond-esque title song, masterfully reprised by Cynthia Harrell, the opening sets a nostalgic tone.

The video teases several key moments from the game, though without full context. Highlights include Snake executing a spectacular backward leap off a waterfall, reminiscent of an Olympic diver, and the intriguing scene of Snake the Snake Eater consuming a snake—adding a touch of the game's unique flair.

In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN remarked that the game appears more as a highly polished HD remaster rather than the transformative remake it had the potential to be. While it offers a visually stunning journey down memory lane, its near-faithful approach to the original might limit its innovation. The game introduces a new first-person perspective for Snake, adding a fresh layer to the gameplay. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater earned an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, reflecting its enduring excellence.
