After years of rumors and false hopes, the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is finally happening. Konami announced Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater earlier this year as part of the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. It’s the first Metal Gear title since 2018’s lackluster Metal Gear Survive, and the first time familiar Hideo Kojima characters have graced our screens since 2015.

Considering his rocky exit from Konami and subsequent new ventures, Kojima’s future with the Metal Gear series seemed over. And while he’s still working over at Kojima Productions, Konami has been hard at work remaking one of his classic stealth-action games.

Metal Gear Solid 3 was first released back in 2004 and garnered critical acclaim. It remains one of the most popular games in the franchise, with many players voting it as their favorite. Now, players will get the chance to explore the origins of Big Boss and the Metal Gear Solid franchise once again, with updated graphics and gameplay.

Metal Gear Solid Delta doesn’t have a release date yet, although we anticipate this Snake Eater remake might come out in 2024. Until we know for sure, here’s everything we know about this title.

The dead are not silent

It helps to understand the backstory of the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, as it’s been a rumored project for a few years now. Although Konami mostly exited the video game business a few years back, talks of a separate division or company remaking classic Metal Gear entries was still buzzing. Konami wasn’t one to confirm rumors, and Hideo Kojima was too busy working on Death Stranding and Kojima Productions to worry one way or the other.

Still, the rumors persisted, and gained heightened attention in the lead up to the PlayStation Showcase in May. Many industry insiders proclaimed that Konami would reveal the MGS3 remake at the event. Many fans were understandably apprehensive, but the showcase proved that their fears were unfounded.

Konami revealed the remake, titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, at the event alongside the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. The latter is a series of compilations that bring classic Metal Gear games to current-generation consoles; the first volume will include all mainline Metal Gear games up to Snake Eater, with some additional games as well.

With that and Metal Gear Solid Delta, it seems that MGS3 fans will have plenty to look forward to. As old and new players alike experience the original game through the Master Collection, we also have a revamped version on the horizon. With that, it’s time to start the mission proper.

We’re off on a mission of virtue

Konami and the team have confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta is as close to a 1:1 remake of Snake Eater as possible. Although it’s built on a new engine with recreated graphics and sound, the actual storyline and progression is the same. The team is even reusing the original voice clips, preserving the original script as much as possible.

As such, we can provide a basic rundown of the story as it relates to the original. (There won’t be any spoilers in this section, so fret not!)

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the story of Naked Snake, an agent in the FOX unit. He’s sent deep into the jungles of Russia in 1964 to retrieve a defector from the Soviet Union. However, his commanding officer on the mission, a woman known as The Boss, interrupts his mission by defecting to the Soviets. She wounds Naked Snake, leaving him for dead and coordinating a strike on Russian civilians to frame the United States.

With the mission exposed and Russia threatening to retaliate if the situation isn’t under control, Naked Snake is forced back into the jungle after he recovers. He needs to stop The Boss and her Cobra Unit and shut down the new Soviet weapon, a mysterious combat vehicle nicknamed the Shagohod.

Head back into the jungle in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Up to this point, the Metal Gear series was primarily focused on interior locations and buildings. You’d sneak around long hallways and open rooms while trying to find cover amidst the manmade terrain.

Metal Gear Solid 3 switched things up by trading the concrete jungle for a real one. There were far more natural settings in that game, dropping you off in the fictional Russian jungle of Tselinoyarsk. It created more unique opportunities for stealth; in particular, camouflaging your gear and face to match your surroundings. You could also the naturally unpredictable terrain and elements to your advantage.

That’s true of Metal Gear Solid Delta as well, as its version of Snake Eater doesn’t change the location up. From the reveal trailer, the swampy marshes where Snake is initially dropped in have been rendered gorgeously. Considering the story is the same, it’s unlikely that there will be any new areas to visit.

Until we get a gameplay trailer for sure, we won’t know if Delta will retain either the original version’s fixed camera system or include the updated camera system from later versions of Snake Eater. It’s also entirely possible that the camera has been reworked entirely. It might take the more modern system found in Metal Gear Solid V. We’ll just have to wait and see.

What a thrill

As a remake that’s meant to honor the original to the letter, we can assume a few things about the gameplay even without a trailer. The core fundamentals of tactical stealth action should all be implemented into Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, but newcomers will hopefully have little struggle adjusting.

MGS3 gave you ample opportunity to surprise your opponents with both artificial and natural traps. Or you can sneak around them and avoid fights altogether (except for mandatory boss fights). When the heat does come down on you, of course, you’ll have plenty of weapons at your disposal. That is, once you find them first.

The tactical side of Metal Gear comes from the limited resources you’ve got in the field. You’ll need to find weapons and ammo as well as survival resources like food and water. One of the most unique parts of MGS3 was patching up your own wounds in the middle of combat. It remains to be seen if this system carries over in the same way in Delta. Given its apparent faithfulness to the source material, we can expect it to remain.

When is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater coming out?

So far, Konami has not yet confirmed a release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. However, the original game hit store shelves in late 2024. It’s reasonable to expect that Konami might try to tie in with the game’s 20th anniversary and release it in Nov. 2024. However, this is pure speculation. Until we get more information from Konami, take this with a grain of salt.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is developed by Konami Digital Entertainment with the help of Virtuos and published by Konami. It will be available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

The post Everything we know about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater appeared first on Mega Visions.

Whisper it quietly, but Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater looks like the most exciting Konami project in years. The trailer shown at this year's Xbox Games Showcase contains just over two minutes of tightly edited in-engine footage, but it answers a lot of questions about the direction of the project - with more details provided in an interview between Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter and producer Noriaki Okamura. At its heart, Delta looks to offer extensive reworks to visuals, controls and camera, using Unreal Engine 5, alongside slavishly faithful recreation of the level design and cutscene direction of the PS2 original.

Of course, we've seen Metal Gear Solid 3 polished up in Bluepoint's excellent HD Collection back on PS3 and Xbox 360 - a build that's also been re-used in the recent Master Collection to mixed reviews. But this remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta, is a more ambitious beast. It's shaping up to be a genuine effort to give series fans the best way to play the game. The big question is this: how does the footage we have so far compare to the original via the HD Collection? What's changed, and what stays intact?

While Metal Gear Solid Delta's release date is still unannounced, we do know it's set for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam - and with that being the case, there's no telling what platform we're precisely seeing in the trailer. It could be a mixture of formats, though the smart money is on an early PC build. Practically every shot I've pixel counted shows a crisp native 4K image, a true 3840x2160 with dynamic resolution scaling deployed only rarely. Next there's the frame-rate situation. Oddly enough, the trailer is only presented on YouTube as a 30fps encode, but hopefully that is a limitation of the capture - we'd expect to see a full 60fps in the final product, as we got with the HD Collection before it.

Předobjednávky fyzických vydání hry Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater jsou k dispozici, přičemž GameStop uvádí uvedení na trh v listopadu (před stažením). Producent Noriaki Okamura sice v nové epizodě oficiálního Xbox Podcastu s hlubokým ponorem neprozradil okno vydání, nastínil však několik dalších detailů a změn.

V remaku se například objevují zvukové linie z původní hry, ale Konami znovu nahrálo některé hlášky s původními herci, aby hráče naučilo ovládání. Protože zvuk nevyžaduje tak velkou kompresi, jsou představení také kvalitnější a k dispozici je více možností, například 7.1kanálový zvuk.

„Nespočet“ vylepšení a aktualizací se dočkaly modely postav, takže se vyrovnají těm z Metal Gear Solid 5. Využito bylo také snímání obličeje, ale mnoho výrazů je ručně doladěno, aby bylo dosaženo požadovaného výsledku. A konečně, pro ty, kteří touží po vzhledu originálu, je přiložen vizuální filtr pro stejný vzhled.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater vychází na konzole Xbox Series X/S, PS5 a PC.

Článek Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Deep Dive potvrzuje znovu nahrané hlasové linky, zvukové možnosti a klasický filtr se nejdříve objevil na GAME PRESS.

Společnost Konami nabídla další pohled na Metal Gear Solid Delta: Ačkoli společnost v té době neoznámila datum vydání, je možné, že došlo k úniku informací.

Společnost GameStop nedávno na Twitteru zveřejnila tweet, v němž hráče vyzývá, aby si hru začali předobjednávat. V tomto tweetu prodejce také uvádí, že remake vyjde 17. listopadu – což ovšem samotná společnost Konami zatím neoznámila.

Zajímavé je, že nedávno úniky tvrdily, že Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater mohl být interně odložen až na rok 2025. Vzhledem k tomu, že Konami má v říjnu vydat remake Silent Hill 2, uvedení dalšího velkého remaku na trh v roce 2025 by jistě dávalo smysl, i když se teprve uvidí, zda společnost místo toho oficiálně potvrdí datum, které podle všeho uniklo z GameStopu.

Nedávno se také objevila spousta dalších nových podrobností o remaku. Kromě možností moderních i klasických schémat ovládání a možností kamery bude přepracovaný systém poškození ve hře také dynamicky způsobovat trvalé jizvy na těle Naked Snakea, jak budou hráči postupovat příběhem.

Společnost Konami odhalila různé edice, které budou k dispozici pro fyzické vydání hry Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Fyzické vydání hry, které bude k dispozici pouze pro PS5 a Xbox Series X/S, bude podle nabídky na Amazonu k dispozici ve standardní a sběratelské edici.

Zatímco standardní edice hry Metal Gear Solid Delta: Sběratelská edice bude obsahovat pouze hru, ale sběratelská edice bude obsahovat řadu drobností, včetně nášivky HALO jump, nášivky FOX, dioramatu terária, kovového pouzdra na hru, šňůrky na Snakeovu identifikační kartu a sběratelské krabice, ve které budou všechny věci uloženy.

Až bude Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater uveden na trh, bude k dispozici na PS5, Xboxu řady X/S a PC.

Článek Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater vychází 17. listopadu, jak uvádí GameStop; odhalena byla i sběratelská edice se nejdříve objevil na GAME PRESS.

Společnost Konami se nedávno podělila o dlouho odkládané informace o remaku Silent Hill 2 a na nedávné výstavě Xbox Games Showcase navázala dalším pohledem na Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, další připravovaný remake oblíbené klasiky od Konami.

V minulosti jsme se samozřejmě dočkali několika upoutávek na tuto hru, nicméně v případě této upoutávky je důraz kladen přímo na prezentaci záběrů z hraní, které ukazují stealth, boj a tu a tam i zajímavé vylepšení hratelnosti oproti originálu. Předvedena je také spousta známých lokací z džungle původní hry, přičemž se podíváme i na ikonický úvod hry a na řadu známých postav, včetně samotné šéfky. Na trailer se podívejte níže.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater je ve vývoji pro PS5, Xbox Series X/S a PC. Konami zatím neoznámilo datum vydání, ale nedávné zprávy tvrdily, že hra byla možná interně odložena až na rok 2025.

The Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake - aka Metal Gear Solid Delta - resurfaced during tonight’s Xbox Games Showcase. We still don’t have a release date, despite signs we might see the remake of the 2004 game this year, but we did get a pretty good look at a bunch of key moments from the original remade in the shiny Unreal Engine 5 do-over - including a look at The Boss and the familiar gravelly tones of Snake actor David Hayter.

It seems like we have a release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, if a recent X/Twitter post from GameStop is to be believed.

This afternoon, the retailer posted the trailer and pre-order link to Snake Eater, saying the MGS3 remake will arrive on November 17.

Od chvíle, kdy PlayStation oznámil, že Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater od společnosti Konami, se očekávalo, že se objeví na State of Play. To se samozřejmě nestalo, ale to neznamená, že se brzy neobjeví nové podrobnosti. Je však také možné, že se remake posune na příští rok.

Billbil-kun z Dealabs, který o oznámení God of War Ragnarok pro PC informoval ještě předtím, než se stalo oficiálním, se zmínil o „globálním distribučním gigantu“, který remake uvádí na rok 2025. Zástupné datum pro fyzické kopie bylo údajně stanoveno na 31. prosince 2025, což zřejmě naznačuje uvedení na trh v příštím roce. To se leakerovi nepodařilo ověřit u druhého zdroje.

Domnívá se však, že v příštích deseti dnech dojde k novému oznámení, potenciálně 6. června, po němž budou spuštěny předobjednávky. Zdá se také, že standardní edice hry se bude prodávat za 69,99 USD, zatímco sběratelská edice (jejíž obsah není znám) bude stát 199,99 USD na konzolích Xbox řady X/S a PS5.

Společnost Konami potvrdila, že se bude konat další prezentace „větších“ oznámení hry Metal Gear Solid, ačkoli datum zatím nebylo potvrzeno. Jako vždy zůstaňte naladěni na další podrobnosti.

Článek Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater by mohl být odloženo na rok 2025, nové informace přijdou v  příštích 10 dnech se nejdříve objevil na GAME PRESS.
