After the credits rolled on Metal Gear Solid Delta, I couldn’t help but say, “Boy, what a great game.” And it’s true, Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the greatest games ever made.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a full-blown remake of 2004’s Metal Gear Solid 3, completely rebuilding the game using the software Unreal Engine 5.
Delta is still Metal Gear Solid 3, but it’s a potentially problematic remake that makes me question the very nature of why we remake games.
KonamiFor those unfamiliar with the Metal Gear franchise, Metal Gear Solid 3 is the first game in the story’s chronology, despite its name implying otherwise.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launches on Aug. 28 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
