Stealth game fans across the world are waiting for one thing, and that is the release of Metal Gear Solid Detla. The remake of the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the remake will launch on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Let’s take a look at 5 reasons why you should play Metal Gear Solid Delta when the game launches and why the original is the most beloved game in the series.
Faithful Recreation of the Original
Metal Gear Solid Delta’s hands-on preview from the first hour of gameplay during the Virtus Mission showed its faithfulness to the original. The game run side by side with the original is the exact same, with the exact camera angles and placement. With the opening shot and follow-up base-jump sequence with Naked Snake tossing the cigar, every moment is captured with detail and retrospect.
One thing veteran players might feel is out of place is the removal of the piss-yellow filter, which was infamous with MGS 3 and games during that era. Now, it is replaced with a much greater focus on realism and actual depth of color.
Upgraded Graphics & Attention to detail
Metal Gear Solid Delta is being built from the ground up on the Unreal Engine 5. This has given Konami the edge when adding attention to detail and completely overhauling the game’s graphics to match today’s standards. The character models all have new textures and look realistic. The game environments have also been overhauled with new details and much denser foliage than before, with noticeable differences between the original MGS 3 and Delta.
Improved Gameplay Mechanics
Meanwhile, Metal Gear Solid Delta remains faithful to its original counterpart. The game will boost a series of new features and gameplay mechanics to appeal to a wider audience. Gamers who have played Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will find Delta’s gameplay to be similar to Konami’s, which has implemented two different game modes to choose from while experiencing the tactical espionage action. Both cater to new fans and veterans of the series.
Konami has also added new features such as the battle damage system, where Snake will take realistic damage to his body during combat or encounter any injury. Wounds stay with the player throughout, reminding them about the repercussions of their actions.
Gripping Narrative and Themes
The Metal Gear Franchise is widely known and appreciated for its take on video game storytelling and narrative. MGS 3, by far, holds one of the most emotional and engaging stories in all of gaming. The action takes place during the height of the Cold War, with Snake, who would later be known as Big Boss, tasked with rescuing a scientist behind enemy lines deep in the Soviet Union. The story holds many twists and turns with many interesting characters from Snake’s Old mentor to the elite cobra unit with their set of misfits.
All the emotions and feelings are brought to life with the returning cast of voice actors. David Hayter returns to voice Snake once again, and the majority of the cast returns to reprise their iconic roles.
Stealth Action at its Best
Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, had a vision when designing the first ever Metal Gear as he didn’t categorize the series as a Stealth game genre but created a whole new genre, which he termed Tactical Espionage Action. Delta offers just that with its deep and engaging stealth mechanics and approach towards gameplay. Players can use a whole array of tools, methods, and tricks to get past enemies and complete objectives. Stealth game fans will no doubt enjoy Delta with the choices it offers the players to tackle any and all challenges.
Summary
The Metal Gear Solid Delta release date is still under wraps, with Konami working tirelessly to provide a good gameplay experience and an overall value-for-money title. Delta marks the first major Metal Gear release in 10 years, and the series is at its last gasp after the debacle of Metal Gear Survive, nearly killing the franchise once and for all.
