Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a faithful remake of the action espionage classic, and a statement of intent for Konami’s stewardship of the series – hands-on preview

Konami is back in a big way lately, and a lot of the world’s newly recharged notice of the Japanese publisher comes down to the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. My time with Konami’s other modern trilpe-A title, Silent Hill 2, was a hit, and while my time with MGS: Delta was short but sweet, it also did not disappoint.

While no release date has been penciled in as of yet, the original game’s 20th anniversary rolls around on November 17, so fans can only hope that Delta is in their hands by then. In anticipation of the release, Konami invited me to play 90 minutes of the Snake Eater remake, and so far, it looks like a faithful remake of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater with even more Hollywood flair, intended for new and old audiences alike.

My preview began with the grand opening of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, concluding not longer after you meet with The Boss. This segment sees Snake baptised as Naked Snake as he descends — in a more epic fashion than ever before — into the USSR in an attempt to complete the Virtuous Mission.
