Out of nowhere, Konami treated Metal Gear fans with a new trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater at the first Xbox Partner Preview event, which gave us a look at the game in action for the very first time. While it was only a trailer intended to show off the game's new engine, it did give us some gameplay to look over, as well as a good idea of what the title may look like when it finally hits store shelves.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater obviously looks absolutely stunning, like most big triple-A productions these days, but some are worried that the removal of the green haze is going to significantly impact the game's atmosphere, and not for the better.
