Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Can be Replacement or Companion for MGS3 Says Producer

As the anticipated release of “Metal Gear Soldier Delta: Snake Eater” on August 28 approaches, the voice actor of protagonist Naked Snake, David Hayter, and series producer Noriaki Okamura have expressed their intention to let gamers decide whether the remake serves as a replacement for the original “Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater” or if it complements it instead.

In an interview with PC Gamer magazine (via GamesRadar), Okamura expressed that the upcoming “Metal Gear Solid Delta” serves as both a substitute for and a complement to the iconic “Snake Eater”. This dual role, according to him, is why Konami has made the original “Snake Eater” accessible on all modern platforms through the launch of “Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1”.

As a devoted fan of Metal Gear myself, I’d say that for those who are new or younger, they might find the remake more approachable due to its contemporary controls and stunning graphics compared to the original game’s more intricate control scheme. However, for seasoned fans, the remake could serve as a delightful companion to the original, offering a fresh take without losing the essence of the classic series.

When it comes to newcomers diving into the MGS series, they might find MGS Delta more accessible. On the other hand, die-hard fans of the MGS series may prefer the Master collection version as it could seem superior. However, according to Okamura, “we want the players themselves to make that choice.

Speaking as a fan myself, I haven’t made up my mind yet about whether Delta serves as a substitute for Snake Eater, the classic. However, I’ve recently revisited the original Metal Gear Solid from 1998, and let me tell you, it’s still an exciting, immersive experience. So, from what I gather, Hayter seems to think that the original games are still strong on their own merits.

He mentioned that he had recently played the original ‘Metal Gear Solid’ a few days back, and found it to still be quite enjoyable. Reflecting on this, he pondered, ‘Could Delta surpass MGS3? I’m not sure. However, I believe it offers a unique, upgraded version.’

Titled “Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater,” this classic stealth game is making its way to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S! Although it maintains the core elements of the 2004 original, you’ll find some fresh additions catering to today’s gamers. These include an option to choose between a modern control setup or the traditional controls. Additionally, the iconic “Secret Theater” from the initial Snake Eater will make its comeback, bringing laughter with its humorous cutscenes featuring the game characters.

In contrast to other parts of the game, Konami confirmed that the “Secret Theater” feature in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater won’t get the same visual upgrade as the rest. Instead, it will maintain the PS2-era graphics from the original version. The creative producer, Yuji Korekado, mentioned that this decision was made due to the cutscene director thinking that the jokes were funnier in their original art style.

As you anticipate the launch of “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater,” here’s a comprehensive rundown of what you can expect from the game. Additionally, we’ve got some exciting insights on the updated online Fox Hunt game mode in the remake.
