Summary
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s back at it, reimagining the 2004 classic with shiny new graphics, sound, and who knows what else – all set in 1964.
Opening scene features a fresh take on Cynthia Harrell’s iconic song. Different mix, but it’s still got that old vibe.
So, Konami’s dropped a nostalgic bomb with the opening movie for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. It’s like they’re calling out to us, seasoned gamers, with this revamped tune just waiting to sweep us off our feet. Crazy thing though, no Hideo Kojima or Yoji Shinkawa onboard this time, which leaves me wondering, ya know?
Snake Eater, in case you’re living under a rock, is a remix of Metal Gear Solid 3 from way back in 2004, and it throws you into 1964’s chaos, following Naked Snake. The dude’s on this wild mission to swoop in and save a Russian rocket scientist while snarling at the Soviets with their nuclear Shagohod thing. Meanwhile, the developers, Virtuos, decided to pop a new studio in South Korea. Maybe they’re expanding operations – or maybe it’s just so they can handle the pressure cooker of making—and hitting—the August 28, 2025, launch date. I mean, the movie got us all buzzed, so something’s working, right?
Then, over here—posted on YouTube, naturally—Kyle Cooper’s take on Metal Gear Solid Delta’s opening comes in swinging. It’s about three minutes and kinda confusing ’cause there’s a movie in limbo for, like, ever. But hey, this “clean” version of the opening scenes doesn’t hold back. And Harrell’s theme? Yeah, it’s back, almost like it picked up where it left off years ago. Smooth, but, like, still keeps its OG flair with tweaks here and there.
All hyped up, and it’s wild how fans are reacting, realizing that Harrell’s voice still hits close to home, carrying those James Bond feels. The track’s back—a throwback to the ladder scene in the old game, while Hibino’s original sense still plays in your head.
For the remake, there’s this long wish list of features we’re buzzing about. They’re bringing in new stuff like the quick camo and over-the-shoulder shooting, plus throwing in familiar goodies like CQC and the Codec system. And what about Snake vs Monkey mode? Fans are clamoring, counting down to August like never before, and we’ve still got the PS5, Xbox, and PC versions on the horizon. Man, it’s gonna be quite the wait!
