As we approach the highly anticipated August release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has unveiled the stealth game's opening movie, offering fans a nostalgic glimpse into the revamped classic.

The opening remains largely faithful to the original, instantly recognizable to fans from the moment newspapers appear on screen, accompanied by the iconic James Bond-esque title song, beautifully reprised by Cynthia Harrell, the original performer.

The video provides tantalizing glimpses of gameplay moments, such as Snake executing an Olympic-style backward dive off a waterfall and engaging in his namesake activity of eating a snake. These snippets, though devoid of context, are sure to excite long-time followers of the series.

IGN's preview of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater noted that while the game appears more like a polished HD remaster than a fully reimagined remake, it offers a stunningly beautiful journey down memory lane. The review highlighted the addition of a new first-person perspective for Snake, yet praised the game for staying true to its roots. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater earned an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, reflecting its enduring legacy and high quality.
