As the eagerly anticipated release date of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on August 28 draws near, Konami has treated fans to the stealth game's opening movie. This sneak peek should feel instantly familiar to those who cherish the original, with subtle deviations that enhance the experience. From the moment the newspapers grace the screen and the iconic James Bond-esque title song, beautifully reprised by Cynthia Harrell, begins to play, nostalgia and excitement intertwine seamlessly.
The video offers tantalizing glimpses into the gameplay, showcasing moments like Snake executing an Olympic-worthy backward leap off a waterfall and indulging in his signature move as the Snake Eater—eating a snake. These scenes, while lacking full context, are sure to delight fans.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of Konami's beloved 2004 action espionage game, originally titled without the "Delta." The publisher has confirmed not only the release date but also the return of the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame. Fans will also find the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the Peep Demo Theatre, as per an age rating, ensuring the game retains its original charm and edge.
IGN's preview of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater described it as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." While it offers an "admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip," it remains "almost faithful to a fault." This sentiment is echoed in the high praise originally bestowed upon Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which received an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, underscoring its enduring legacy and the high expectations for its remake.
