Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Delta might be the least necessary remake ever produced, but it might be my favorite remake for exactly that reason. It’s just Snake Eater with modern graphics and controls, and that’s actually more than I’ve come to expect from the industry these days. By being such a faithful reissue, Delta has secured its place as the definitive way I play MGS3 - I can’t say that about any of the more imaginative remakes we’ve seen in recent years.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is perhaps the best version of the game possible. Konami tuned the graphics, added nice gameplay and quality-of-life additions. The graphics is stealing the focus and 3D audio is welcome. The best games tend to age very slowly – this is another fine example.

Did everything here age well? Heck no. Is it still a long-winded exposition bomb at multiple points? Absolutely. But if you’re here because of the original, I want you to know that everything in the OG Snake Eater that might have made you happy, sad, and/or mad, are all still here. All of the action, all of the stealth, all of the cheesy one-liners… For those of you who are jumping in for the first time? Have some patience and try to enjoy the rollercoaster. This one is definitely for the fans.

With its striking visuals, refined controls, and smart quality-of-life updates, this remake is the definitive way to experience one of gaming’s greatest stealth adventures. Despite some performance hiccups, it’s a faithful yet modern revival that honors the original while making it shine for a new generation.

This new version of the game will definitely be someone's first foray into the entire Metal Gear Solid franchise, which is honestly the biggest and most important thing about the whole Delta release. And chances are that by the end of the credits this person will convert into a new fan that will carry the series legacy into the future. This is good, isn't it?

Metal Gear Solid Delta captures the essence of the original to a T, but fails to expand on it.

With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has crafted a visually arresting re-release so fawning and reverent that it reads entirely incurious. Fans of the source material will no doubt relish the opportunity to play a more modern-feeling take on a generational piece of art, but such a seemingly important work should inspire more.

I played this game for a long time and i also did the platinum. For me this game represents the way kojima thinks with better graphics. It is so cool and funny to learn the art that kojima made in this game.

It's not Remake, not even close. I call it MGS 3 Remastered. Konami decided to make it based on the original version. People love it whose play MGS: 3 but not as they liked third game. It's ok, I felt the nostalgia.

I'm a big fan of the metal gear saga, but the original metal gear solid 3 is really too cutscene-heavy for my taste, and so is this remake. I also think that the extremely over the top scenes as well as some controversial scenes with EVA (if you know you know) belong to the 90s, if you want to remake a game like this you have to have the guts to make some aggiustments otherwise the game will inevitably feel awkward. I expecially disliked the scenes with Ocelot and Volgin. I don't know why but there's something about them that is too cartoonysh and it felt even more awkward with the high quality grafic and textures compared to the original release. Also the combat is definitely not at its peak: the buttons felt weird in some cases; the enemies spot literally from behind walls; the survival aspect of the game, which is presented in actions like eating and healing yourself, was never really a protagonist like it probably should have been. Of course there are some things that I loved, expecially the story and characters, but since they were not changed at all from the original release I don't know if I should even account for them or not since we're talking about the remake. To wrap things up, it was overall a good and solid experience (no pun intended), but I hope to see a different type of remake for metal gear solid 1 and 2, much like Capcom did with their resident evil remakes

The more realistic, AI-generated models look uncanny compared to the stylized original models based on Shinkawa's art. Avoid this Chinese AI slop and get the original instead.

Play the original game. At best, Delta is an inferior and souless version of the game released in 2004, at worst, is a generic mess, with incredible unresponsive controls, and literally **** I dont mean the pathetic technical performance (720p and 60fps in 2025, lmao), I mean broken, as in the AI of the enemies is broken, they will see and hear you no matter what you do, unless you use paid DLC, to balance the new mechanics so the game wouldnt be too easy, they just broke the AI. And to balance the bosses they just gave them a zillion HP, and your bullets will literally go through **** mix that with the fact that Snake controls like a$$ (Phantom Pain came out a decade ago, ffs), and you have a miserable experience. Graphics might look pretty, but incredible generic, if you played any other game running on Unreal 5, this looks exactly the same as all of them, no art direction. Seriously, play the original game.
