Konami Entertainment has been quite emphatic about retaining what made Metal Gear Solid 3 special while also bringing creative new flourishes to the table in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the highly anticipated remake of the original game. It can be tricky to balance what made the original game such a cult classic with features that appeal to a modern audience but Konami has largely seemed up to the task in its valiant effort.

From entirely different points of view while exploring levels to new ways to access your equipment, the studio has drawn on the best titles from its franchise to blend a visual overhaul with modern features that can be quite a "thrill" for both newcomers and veterans alike.

Naked Snake's iconic origin story could feel like a whole new game when the remake releases this August for current-gen platforms.

Looks like the definitive version of the game.

My main takeaway from this is the more recent footage that shows the game does in fact have object based motion blur, the last video I watched did not have that and subsequently looked absolutely arse.

The camo + codec QoL additions are excellent too.

Crazy how much it's upgraded yet looks the same

So close. So excited!!!

I hope not, but after Virtuous' last game Oblivion Remastered...I wouldn't be surprised.

Yes, the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a landmark event. The first mainline Metal Gear game post-Kojima, and a remake of a timeless classic. Given shifting expectations of legacy remakes, and Konami's own self-made pressures following nearly a decade of fanbase alienation, the stakes are high for Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater.

However, whether a success or a failure, Delta will prove to be a turning point for the series. It could prove a springboard for the series' future, or could eliminate one of the world's most iconic stealth franchises, plus once-storied developer Konami, to the dustbins.

For this reason, Konami are evidently taking a conservation-first approach - modern refreshment whilst maintaining a reverence to the source material. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be one of the biggest games of the year, whether positive or negative.

I haven't really given this game much attention, but I've said many times over the years how much I wanted MGS3 remade in MGS5's engine. From the look of the gameplay this is excatly that, so I'll no doubt be playing a lot of this. With it being a modern engine I will wait and see how performance is, though.

I pre-ordered 3x one for each platform, same as I did with Master Collection. One of my favorite series ever, mad fer it! Took the week off work.

Jesus Christ!! the amount of hyperbole used and the amount of times this guy (ai narrator?) Gave undue credit to the new hardware for what is clear as day a design decision was nauseating. Insufferable.

Lol, I do the same thing, but with resident evil games. Even the bad ones.
