After almost 20 years, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has yet again taken the world by storm with the highly-anticipated remake, Delta. Longtime fans will experience the thrill all over again when Big Boss was just getting started as Naked Snake. But, this time around, we’ll see a more modern take on the classic with the realistic features of next-gen consoles.
If you are already tempted to eat the Forbidden Fruit of MGS3, we’ll show you the most iconic moments we can’t wait to relive in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
The World’s First Halo Jump
To kick things off, we had to start with MGS3’s epic introduction of the soaring Halo Jump, as Snake plunges into Soviet territory. With the revamped graphics of Delta, it will certainly be an entirely different experience, allowing players to see a complete overview of the modernized setting high above the skies.
Snake’s landing will be even more legendary than before, especially with the realistic characteristics shown in the announcement trailer. We just hope that Konami keeps in that little detail of the “Snake Eater” wording on his helmet to keep with the tradition of the game’s many Easter Eggs.
Ocelot’s Grand Entrance
Although Naked Snake is the main protagonist, Revolver Ocelot always steals the show, from his expressive hand gestures to snarky one-liners. His first appearance in Snake Eater was one of the most memorable scenes, demonstrating his outstanding gunmanship during his prime.
Of course, we can’t forget his iconic “meow” call, which is still discussed in the Metal Gear Solid community today. Unfortunately for him, this is the first time we truly see Snake’s CQC in action, but at least Ocelot will go down in style with the Delta version. We also can’t wait to hear the classic “You’re pretty good” line exchange between the characters, featured in almost every title in the series.
The Iconic Ladder Scene
You can’t have Snake Eater without the quintessential ladder scene, as it is possibly the most discussed topic in the Metal Gear community. Yes, it may be completely random, yet it still embodies the series’ unique charm through its unpredictable gameplay style.
Sometimes, it’s nice to take a break and climb up an almost never-ending ladder while simultaneously listening to the euphonious “Snake Eater” song. In our time, there will certainly be nothing else like it.
The Boss’ Betrayal
The Boss’ treachery was hard enough the first time, and it’ll probably be even more heartbreaking in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Thanks to the latest in-game screenshots, we got a glimpse of where this tragic event takes place with the new engine, and it’s already shaping up to be a masterpiece.
