With many classic games receiving long-overdue remasters and remakes, one more game joined the list. Last year, massive developer Konami announced their plans to release the remake MGS 3 Delta. This remake will use state-of-the-art technology to bring the classic game into the modern era. More details were recently unveiled at a London gaming event. Furthermore, the game’s director confirmed that it will be a very close recreation of the gameplay and story of the original. Whether this will be the best path to remaking the 2004 classic remains to be seen when the game releases. Here is a breakdown of Konami and the director’s current plans for MGS 3 Delta.

MGS 3 Delta Will Be Very Faithful

According to Polygon, game director Noriaki Okamura gave an important update on his upcoming game, MGS 3 Delta. He stated that the game will be largely faithful to the original and that most changes will be purely cosmetic. Okamura said he wanted to do his best to bring the classic title to a modern audience while keeping the original’s nostalgia when asked about these changes. Because of this, it is up to gamers to determine the quality of this remake upon its release.

The graphics and detail are impressive from the trailers alone, regardless of one’s thoughts on the remake. During the interview, he described how Konami’s executives “definitely didn’t want to alter any of the story or world.” The director and the rest of his devoted team revealed these changes at a recent promotional event in London. Furthermore, Okumura confirmed the more “outdated” story elements would not be removed to keep with the game’s historical authenticity.

A Rundown of this Remake

For those unaware, Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid 3 is a game that earned a remake. The original PS2 classic remains one of the most beloved games of the console and the series. The story followed the iconic Solid Snake as he invaded a Soviet jungle during the Cold War. Critics continue to praise the game for its political themes, gripping story, and survival tactics. Given the game’s enduring popularity, it’s unsurprising that Konami would create MGS 3 Delta.

This will be the first Metal Gear title released since 2018’s critically panned Survive. Additionally, Konami released a collection of the first five games titled the Master Collection last year. However, many fans are still bitter with them after falling out with the beloved series creator, Hideo Kojima. While no official release date was provided, the executives confirmed they planned to release the game by the end of the year.

The Choice of Okamura’s Direction

While many gamers will be excited by this news, others are probably skeptical. While the improved graphics are generally impressive, they lack the same digital, ambient aesthetic that the PS2’s art direction created. On the other side, the lack of any real additions to the game despite its high production values raises questions about the necessity of such a remaster. Over the years, many game remakes have been criticized for betraying or ruining the original.

The Conker’s Bad Fur Day remaster was one of the worst offenders, which censored much of the game. Take the Final Fantasy VII remake for another controversial example, which went the Peter Jackson route and split into three games. Overall, trying to make a beat-for-beat remake might seem safe to executives. Many others believe remakes can misuse attention. A prominent example is Atlus making a full remake of Persona 3 before even re-releasing any of their dozens of old SMT games. In a world where game preservation has become a hot-button issue, games like MGS 3 Delta are stark examples for one end of the spectrum.
