Recently we had the opportunity to check out the first trailer for the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake. Although visually impressive, some players have expressed dissatisfaction.
The trailer for the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, titled MGS Delta: Snake Eater, has been revealed. Despite the visual brilliance of the trailer, some players seem to have reservations. We’ll explain why.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: players are unhappy
For a change, fans of the Metal Gear saga are expressing their dissatisfaction with the recent trailer for the Snake Eater remake, arguing that the artistic design of the original opus was clearly superior. In fact, Konami surprised fans by revealing a new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer during the first Xbox Partner Preview event, providing a first look at the game in action.
Although it was only a trailer intended to highlight the game’s new engine, it still provided an overview of the gameplay and what the title could look like upon release. . Unfortunately, many people are not satisfied with what they saw.
Shortly after the trailer was released, many observers noted the strange absence of the game’s famous green mist. Konami had obviously opted for graphical fidelity rather than retaining the original artistic design of Snake Eater. Although Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is visually insane, like most major triple-A productions today, some worry that removing the green mist will greatly affect the atmosphere of the game, and not positive way.
Animation, green mist…
However, certain things are preserved. Snake’s camouflage mechanic has been kept, as well as the ability to switch to first person view while lying down. It’s stated at the start of the trailer that the footage is from a pre-alpha version of the game, so it’s still possible that the green mist will be added before release, but fans seem unimpressed so far.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater joins the list of “recent” remakes, like Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls, criticized for sacrificing the artistic ambiance and subtle details of the originals in favor of increased graphical fidelity.
To make the situation worse, some players are accusing the remake of reusing animations from Phantom Pain. Comparative videos have already started to circulate on this subject. See instead:
