I prefer my piss filter 2004 version.
The remake look very soulless

The only thing I don't like is the faces, everything else looks amazing.

 

[BlackTron]

I found this side by side very flattering to the PS2 version.

 

[tomato shrub]

Another case like Demon's Souls where the developers didn't understand the original art direction.

However, I'm more ambivalent on MGS3. Because the gameplay in the original is so annoying, man. It had many amazing ideas, but was way too clunky to play. I don't even care if the new gameplay is gonna break the level design like Twin Snakes, I'll most likely prefer it to the old game.

Most of the faces just feel off. I like Eva though.

The game has built in color filters:

And if you don't like any of them, get it on PC and ReShade it. Or wait for someone to make a 1-1 copy of the original filter.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I prefer the PS2-origins flame rendering with lots of (overdraw!) overlapping, individually animated transparencies. Especially with the torch in the caves where the flames drag behind Snake.

The new technique has more texture nuance but lacks the depth and volume.

wow they still have booth babes in TGS

maybe that's why TGS is still alive and Asian industry is prospering, while E3 is dead and Western industry in the toilet, Japan knows gaming is about fun, they keep it fun and lighthearted, while West take themselves so seriously, so pretentious, so morally superior, so smug with their woke/DEI socio-politic messages

 

[RoboFu]

I guess it a tiny bit better looking.

Though it does mess with some of artistic choices of the original.

Whoa, now! Don't be a bigot! XD /s

Man Ocelot looks like shit. Zero cheekbones. Big fat ass lips. Purple Lips.

 

[Stitch]

remaster one looks like a young ocelot while the original one looks like mr. potato head

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Looks more akin to his older self now

Yeah new ocelot looks great.

Another case like Demon's Souls where the developers didn't understand the original art direction.

Don't understand or don't have the ability?! Because Yoji Shinkawa is miles away from Konami/Virtuos artists.

I'm getting used to the faces, although i was a little in shock with the look of Ocelot and The Boss initially. She looks better in this trailer.

 

[Pejo]

Faces and hair aside, I think it looks really good. It really is jarring to see it without the piss filter though. Going to take me a bit to get used to actual colors. Still bummed with the changes to The Boss, but I'm sure I'll be over it by the time the game releases.

 

[PatientGamer]

Sex sells. Something the West has failed to understand in recent years.

 

[DonF]

I...didnt realize...are they like super fans?!

Just La Le Lu Le Lo.

Just got my son to finish 3 from the collection. I think I’m halfway through again, but I’m excited to see this version.

Didn’t realize how stylized some of the faces were then, and I think that’s something that can be hard to update.

Is it just me or does Snake’s face look different with the bandana than without in all of the renders?

Artistic choices aside, I will be happy to see some updated geometry and lighting compared to 2004.
Playing through some and watching my son I don’t miss games being designed that way.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I think it looks great

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I think this looks pretty bad. The character models look like a cheap knock off and the game has this oddly unstylized look to it that makes it look creepy

 

[RPCGamer]

I'm actually impressed how much the original holds up.

 

[March Climber]

To those who miss the piss filter, simple solution just pee on your screen before you play

No one understands that it wasn’t just a ‘piss filter’ but it isn’t worth explaining anymore.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’m still not sold. Too many things just not seeming right. It looks like a knockoff of what a real MGS3 Remake would look like.

You mean the color grading or the gameplay design being too 1:1?

 

[FoxMcChief]

I don’t know. Things just don’t seem right. Maybe it’s because I’ve played MGS3 to death already. I even played and loved the 3DS version. Something just seems off.

[GymWolf]

The only thing I don't like is the faces, everything else looks amazing.

I think some faces are good like snake, others look off like ocelot.

 

[SirTerry-T]

I'm assuming they forgot to switch on the Shinkawa filter for the TGS demo?

 

[GymWolf]

I would gladly let them play with my version of snake eater...

 

[SirTerry-T]

Tony Fox Sales of Iggy and The Stooges and Tin Machine fame....is that you?

 

[FoxMcChief]

The only thing I don't like is the faces, everything else looks amazing.

When a game is cutscenes heavy like this one, weird faces can be very distracting.

 

[proandrad]

Bring back booth babes, never forget what we lost.

 

[rabbity-thing]

If you'd told me a few months ago that the Silent Hill 2 remake was going to look like the more competent of these two releases, I wouldn't have believed you, but here we are.

This is such a weird looking game.

 

[Business]

I wish they had gone for a Resident Evil style remake instead of just new graphics.

Also, if they had any brains they would start from MGS1 and milk this thing properly instead of randomly starting from 3 and calling it Delta.

After Delta they need to remake Metal Gear 1 not Metal Gear Solid.

They could do so much cool shit with Grey Fox, Big Boss, and Solid Snake. Have David Hayter write the script and direct the mocap too

 

[Bojji]

Sex sells. Something the West has failed to understand in recent years.

Onlyfans girls disagree.

 

[RaduN]

Using the crap Hd remaster with all post processing effects missing, and calling it the "original", instead of capturing some pristine footage from the actual ps2 original.
IGN's 'quality' journalism =

Delta looks good overall, mainly because of the original's flawless direction. Snake's face is off in both appearence and experssions, very off.
Ocelot is ok-ish but looks older than he should. Her facials are also off. Volgin and The Boss are good. Eva's features had more of that X factor back then, now she's just a pretty face from a playboy magazine. She needs more unique features.

 

[Bond007]

Cant wait.
Just wish it was MGS 1
