Remaking a game without the involvement or consent of its original creator is a daunting task. Konami not only has to satisfy longtime fans, but also preserve the legacy of a beloved visionary. With that in mind, can Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater truly recapture the magic of the original? Read on to find out.
Widely regarded as a near-perfect story-driven game, Snake Eater holds a special place in the hearts of fans. As such, it presents both an ideal entry point for remaking the series and a significant challenge: how do you modernize a classic without compromising its legacy? Konami has chosen to take a restrained approach, updating only select elements like the controls, camera system, codec usage, and other minor features. This strategy helps preserve the core experience while subtly enhancing it—but the question remains: are these small tweaks truly enough to justify a full remake?
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC and you can read our full review here. Does this remake interest you? Which other games in the franchise would you like to see Konami remake? Should the Japanese developer continue down this path or create their own sequel?
