Konami has released a full look at the remade version of Snake Eater, the iconic opening for Metal Gear Solid 3. Just like the original game, this version has been edited by Kyle Cooper with a brand-new recording of the theme song by Cynthia Harrell.
However, while it’s incredibly similar to the original, there are actually a few new scenes included in this opening. You can see the full video down below.
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a remake of the original Metal Gears Solid 3, which first released on PlayStation 2 in 2005. Interestingly, however, this remake differs a little bit from what we typically see.
The original story and even the voice acting have been entirely untouched, while the visuals and gameplay have been reworked and modernized.
The remake features a new control scheme, although players can swap to the original one. At the same time, there’s a new third-person over-the-shoulder point on view, on top of the original overhead one. There’s an amalgamation of other little flourishes and enhancements, like 3D audio. Here are a few highlights from the game’s official site.
- Gorgeously rendered graphics – With Unreal Engine 5, expansive stages are rendered with cutting-edge technology. Incredible new graphics bring the wild growth of the jungles, forests, and swamps to life in exquisite detail. Characters are rendered in such fine detail that facial wrinkles, pores, and even separate eye and iris movements are visible, allowing for rich and emotive facial animations.
- Authentic to life portrayals – The battle damage system has been upgraded, with the wear and tear of Snake’s clothes, as well as bruises and bullet wounds on his body, reflected in real time. Injuries will leave their mark on Snake’s body permanently, telling a story of each player’s unique journey through the game.
- Deeply immersive experiences – Players can elect for a newly added, more modern control style. These intuitive controls let you focus entirely on the game, and the immersive thrills of the survival stealth experience. You can also choose to play with a classic control style that more closely recreates the feel of the original game.
Interestingly, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater releases exactly two months after the latest game from Hideo Kojima, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater releases on August 28 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
