At final night time’s Xbox Partner Preview showcase we lastly noticed in-engine footage of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake for the primary time, nevertheless it obtained a blended response from followers.
The remake – Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to make use of its official identify – is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and this new trailer confirmed Snake sneaking round a fantastically lit jungle and a cute little frog paddling via some very practical water.
It’s technically spectacular, however for some followers it is misplaced the artwork fashion of the unique recreation.
Snake himself, voice actor David Hayter, was impressed no less than. “Holy Shagohod,” he posted on X, previously Twitter. “That’s lovely”.
Other posts have been much less enthusiastic. “Depressing remake,” reads one publish. “This has no identification, no sense of fashion, no artwork path, no environment, no cinematography. The trailer enhancing ought to inform you all the things that you must know. Without Kojima, there isn’t any Metal Gear.”
“It seems good, however the total environment is missing as they’re lacking the color grading and publish course of to get the unique 60s look. Could be simply added and even made non-obligatory,” reads one other publish.
Other followers are excited to see iconic scenes in such excessive constancy. “Can’t wait to observe a person shoot bees out of his mouth in leading edge actual time graphics,” reads one publish.
Over on reddit it is also a blended bag. “I’m not seeing a complete lot of individuals mentioning the look. Do you not suppose it seems off?” posted one reddit person about Snake’s design.

Many responses just like the look, appreciating how Snake lastly seems younger and has a transparent Eighties motion hero aesthetic. Others word how totally different he seems with out his iconic bandana.
So whereas some followers are impressed by the top quality visuals, others miss the old artwork fashion. I, sadly, am within the latter camp – the remake is technically spectacular, however is lacking the golden hue and classic really feel of the unique in favour of a clear however generic look. And I’m not a giant fan of Snake’s floppy-haired boy band makeover I’m afraid.
Still, if you wish to play the unique, it’s nonetheless very a lot alive in Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, which incorporates MGS 1, 2, and three. And whatever the visuals, I’m nonetheless very a lot wanting ahead to seeing what else Konami does with the Delta remake.
