Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater contains a secret mode developed by PlatinumGames, the studio behind the likes of Bayonetta and Nier: Automata.
Warning! Spoilers for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and the original Metal Gear Solid 3 follow:
Fans of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, which Konami has remade for this Delta version, may be aware of Snake’s Nightmare. Dubbed Guy Savage by fans, it’s a time-limited third-person hack and slash sequence in which ‘Guy Savage’ cuts his way through a demon-filled hellscape, triggered by saving while Snake is in prison and then reloading.
Guy Savage was in the original Metal Gear Solid 3 on PlayStation 2, but was removed for most of the versions that followed. Now, Guy Savage is back as ‘Guy Savage Delta,’ courtesy of PlatinumGames. Even better, you’re able to unlock the secret mode to replay it via the main menu screen once you’ve beaten the game (or you can trigger it the old-fashioned way).
Guy Savage is back in delta form.
IGN’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater review returned an 8/10. We said: “Between its old-school stealth-action gameplay and engaging spy-thriller story, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater largely succeeds as a faithful, visually impressive remake of the 2004 classic.”
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launches Aug 28, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S.

I’m still concerned about the Micro RGB name, which carries the risk of being confused with true Micro LED. In the past, Samsung has contributed to display-market confusion with terms like QLED (an acronym that looks awfully similar to OLED). The new display technology is impressive enough; its marketing doesn’t need to evoke associations with a markedly different display type.
Hands-on with Samsung’s Micro RGB TV
Seeing the Micro RGB TV in person confirmed the great potential RGB backlight tech represents. The image quality didn’t quite match what you’d see with a similar OLED or Micro LED display, but what I saw in my short time with the TV surpassed what I’d expect from the best LCD-LED TVs.
I demoed the TV in a mildly lit room, where the screen’s lively colors quickly leaped out at me. I mostly watched pre-selected, polychromatic videos on the TV, making it hard to discern color accuracy. But during the brief demo, I saw colors that are rare to see on even the most expensive TVs.
For example, part of the demo reel (shown below) featured a building in a shade of teal that I can’t recall ever seeing on a TV. It was a greener-leaning teal that had just the right amount of blue to distinguish it from true green. Many displays would fail to capture that subtle distinction.
My camera couldn’t come close to capturing this shade of teal.

The demo video also showed a particular shade of pinkish-red. Again, this was the first time I had seen this video, making me wonder if a purer red would be more accurate. But I also saw strong, bright, bloody reds during my demo, suggesting that this unfamiliar pinkish-red was the result of the Micro RGB TV’s broad color gamut.
Unsurprisingly, the TV packs in AI, including a feature that’s supposed to automatically recognize scenes with dull lighting and make them look more lively.

Another top standout from my demo was the smooth gradient effects that the TV showed. I could detect no banding in a sunset-like background, for instance, as deep oranges effortlessly transitioned to paler shades before seamlessly evolving into white. Nuanced shades also appeared to enable unique textures on the TV. When the TV was set to display a painting, the screen seemed to mimic the rough texture of canvas or the subtle strokes of paintbrushes. Of course, the TV’s massive size helped emphasize these details, too.
Apple (AAPL) has moved quickly to patch a zero-click vulnerability that could have allowed attackers to compromise iPhones, iPads, and Macs without the user even clicking a link. The flaw, which was tied to the way Apple devices process images, left a dangerous opening for attackers to steal sensitive data, including cryptocurrency wallets.

In a Thursday advisory, Apple confirmed the issue had been fixed in the latest software updates across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. The company warned the bug had already been linked to “an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals,” urging all users to update their devices immediately.
Crypto Users Face Higher Risks
Security experts say the exploit carried an especially high risk for crypto holders. Unlike stolen credit cards or bank details, stolen digital assets cannot be reversed once they are transferred. This makes cryptocurrency users prime targets for highly motivated attackers.
Juliano Rizzo, CEO of cybersecurity firm Coinspect, explained how the attack worked. “This is a zero-click vulnerability that does not require user interaction, and an attachment delivered via iMessage can be processed automatically and lead to device compromise.” In practice, that means attackers could quietly access sensitive wallet data stored on a device.
The Vulnerability Explained
The bug stemmed from Apple’s Image I/O framework, which allows applications to handle a wide range of image file types. A flaw in its implementation meant that simply processing a malicious image could give attackers permission to write to areas of memory normally off-limits.
This kind of access lets attackers execute their own code inside a device, altering how programs operate and gaining a pathway to critical functions. For those holding crypto on their phones, the implications are severe. Attackers could potentially bypass protections and gain access to wallets or authentication tools.
Advice for Crypto Holders
Rizzo advised high-value targets, especially those using Apple devices for wallet storage or transaction signing, to consider migrating to new wallet keys if there is any suspicion of compromise. “The exact steps depend on the attack specifics, but the key is to stay calm, document a clear plan, and start by securing primary accounts (email, cloud) that attackers could exploit for password resets or further access,” he said.
For most users, spotting signs of this kind of exploitation is nearly impossible. System logs could, in theory, reveal anomalies, but Rizzo pointed out that Apple and other vendors are usually better positioned to detect attacks and alert victims directly. The immediate priority, he stressed, is updating devices to close the vulnerability.
Is Apple Stock a Good Buy?
According to TipRanks, Apple currently carries a Moderate Buy rating based on 27 Wall Street analyst reviews in the past three months. Out of those, 15 recommend a Buy, 11 suggest a Hold, and one advises a Sell.

A UN-backed body has warned that more than half a million people across Gaza are facing “catastrophic” conditions characterised by “starvation, destitution and death”
Residents of the Gaza Strip have described to the BBC the effects of severe hunger on their bodies, after a UN-backed report confirmed famine in the territory for the first time.
Reem Tawfiq Khader, 41, a mother of five from Gaza City, said: “The declaration of famine came too late, but it is still important.
“We haven’t eaten any protein for five months. My youngest child is four years old – he doesn’t know what fruit and vegetables look or taste like.”
The UN says Israel has heavily restricted the amount of aid entering Gaza, which Israel denies.
Israel also denies there is starvation in the territory, in direct contradiction to what more than 100 humanitarian groups, witnesses on the ground, and multiple UN bodies say.
On Friday, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said there was an “entirely man-made” famine in Gaza City and its surrounding areas.
It warned that more than half a million people across the Gaza Strip were facing “catastrophic” conditions characterised by “starvation, destitution and death”.
Rajaa Talbeh, 47, a mother of six, said she had lost 25kg (55lbs) in weight. She fled her home in Gaza City’s Zeitoun district a month ago and now lives in a makeshift tent near the beach.
She suffers from gluten intolerance and said she could no longer find food she could eat.

“Before the war, a charity used to help me get gluten-free products, which I could never afford myself,” she said.
“Since the war began, I can’t find what I need in the market, and even when I do, I can’t afford it. Isn’t it enough to face daily bombardment, displacement and living in a tent that shields us neither from the heat of summer nor the cold of winter – and now famine on top of it?”
Rida Hijeh, 29, said her five-year-old daughter Lamia’s weight had dropped from 19kg (42lbs) to 10.5kg (23lbs).
She said Lamia was healthy before the war began and had no prior illnesses.
“This all happened only because of the famine,” she said.
“There is simply nothing for the child to eat. There are no vegetables, no fruits.”
Now, Lamia suffers from swelling in her legs, thinning hair, and nerve problems, she said.
“She cannot walk. I went to many clinics, doctors, and hospitals. They all told me my daughter is suffering from malnutrition. But none of them gave me anything, not treatment, not any support.”

The Israeli military has facilitated aid drops into Gaza – but aid groups have said these are a “grotesque distraction” and that Israel should allow more aid in through the normal routes
Mandy Blackman, a British nurse working for the charity UK-Med in Gaza, said 70% of mothers attending their maternal health, ante-natal and post-natal clinics had clinical malnutrition.
“Babies are delivered smaller and more vulnerable as a result,” she said.
More than 62,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel began its military campaign, in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
Since the start of the war, at least 271 people, including 112 children, have died of “famine and malnutrition”, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.
Another woman, Aseel, who lives in Gaza City, said: “Five months ago, I weighed 56kg (123lbs). Today, I weigh only 46kg (101lbs).”
She said she hadn’t eaten a single piece of fruit or meat in months and had spent nearly her entire savings on basic ingredients to survive.
Aseel’s sister-in-law – who she lives with – has a one-month-old baby.
“She’s been desperately searching for baby formula at a reasonable price,” Aseel said.
She said that when they can find it, it costs as much as 180 shekels (£39) per can.
“I have no food stockpile, not even enough to last a week or two,” she added.
