Well, this is looking good, isn’t it? Many would argue Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is Hideo Kojima’s finest work, and while he’s not involved in Konami’s remake of the PS2 classic, this is a beat-for-beat recreation of the original on PS5 hardware. Remember, this game will also be upgraded to take advantage of the PS5 Pro.
In this new trailer, we get to see a ton of familiar cinematics, all upgraded and enhanced with modern technology. We also get to see new renders for key characters, including EVA who appears right at the very end of the clip.
We got a chance to play the game on PS5 recently, and described it as a “fiercely loyal remake” in our hands-on report: “This Delta version is designed to make Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater a world-beater all over again,” we wrote. “Without the need for gameplay or story changes, what Konami and Virtuos are doing is tweaking near-perfection.”

This to me is the defination of a remake. Still a bit salty that they have snubbed Kojima's name from it.....
His face looks a little off in the thumbnail. But apart from that it looks amazing, can't wait to experience this gem again.
Great! Can’t wait to get it running on my preordered PS5 Pro.
@Dr_ENT
Epeen points galore!
I feel a bit sad that a “fiercely loyal” remake looks more interesting to me than most new games. I mean, I love MGS, so I’m excited to replay MGS3 with new paint, but right now the only games I’m more excited about next year are Death Stranding 2 and Ghost 2 now. Man, do I wish there was a new MGS on the way.
Also, absolutely awful for Kojima’s name to be removed from this. He built the bones. I hope his name is in the credits somewhere and gets a paycheck from Konami for this remake.
Never got around to playing the original snake eater release despite enjoying and finishing sons of liberty on ps2. Looking forward to playing through this when it launches.
EVA looks...different but i wonder if Konami gonna remove different camera angle that focus on her assets. Got a feeling they gonna remove the almost sexy time cutscene between Snake and EVA...
Looks very good. Release date?
Eva looks stunning 😍. I really hope this is good Snake Eater is my favourite Metal Gear game so I hope they don't screw it up so far it looks really good and pretty much a 1-1 remake which is what I personally prefer if only Silent Hill 2 got this treatment instead of Resident Evil 2 REmake at home made by one of the worst horror game studios there is 😅😭
@Hairy_Potter No date, sadly.
Day one on the Pro.
Is that youtube compression causing lip-sync issues? got me eye on this remake but this video is not selling it to me, it's the worst out of all the others imho. Need to see more gameplay.
Gotta say it looked better in previous videos.
It's "fiercely loyal" and a "beat-for-beat recreation"--but then when it's closer to release day, we'll start getting the leaks specifying all the details that got changed to adhere to current-day political correctness.
@SilentBluntman it’s on Unreal Engine 5 so i would think you could throw some power at it and it would eat it up. If i can find a PS5 Pro in time i will get this on there. If not i may get it for Series X. Either way i am playing this. But yeah i would love to see how you could run it on PC. Should look insane if you got the rig.
@Oram77 He's still being credited for the work he did on the original, just not as "A Hideo Kojima Game" because he's not involved with the remake. It would be a bit dishonest to call it one when it has a different person directing it.
Cannot wait for this game. I am hoping they remaster MGS4 or even better remake them all like this. Very happy it'll have PS5 PRO enhancements.
@DanteDevilHunter I have no doubt MGS4 will finally be released from PS3 purgatory when the inevitable Vol 2 Collection happens
Why do mgs3? And not start with the first two. Would love to play updated versions of them all.
MGS3 is not simply Kojima's best game. It's the best game. Can't wait for this remake, gonna be playing it on the Pro.
@nicc83
Because it's the safest bet commercially.
I think it's safe to say we now have parity with that Pachinko machine
@nicc83 I think we can argue that Snake Eater is the most popular Metal Gear game and plus with it being a prequel it makes sense to start with it
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is my second favorite game of all-time just behind Resident Evil 2, and it's a very, very close second, so I will be buying this. That said, just like the original RE 2 is difficult to go back to because of the controls so is MGS 3. Hopefully the remake fixes the clunkiness.
@nicc83 Because MGS3 is chronologically the first in the series. Hopefully, they will proceed to give the same treatment to MGS and MGS2.
@Oram77 That's a bit misleading. They only removed the "A Hideo Kojima Game" card from the opening. Otherwise, he is still fully credited - "Mr. Kojima and all the original development staff are of course credited for their original roles". -Noriaki Okamura, Producer
Sublime enough not to get a release date.
@SilentBluntman Yeah I really hope they do the MSX games some day Snakes original adventures taking on Big Boss as a 3D MGS style game would be amazing
@SilentBluntman oh yeah that right will make that game look outstanding. Should run smooth also. I am looking forward to it. It looks really good. Nice to see Konami put in the work on it.
That looks weird as hell. Honestly looks terrible.
@SilentBluntman yeah that would be amazing, but he is off doing his thing and seems happy. So no telling if that happens. But it would be good. This game is looking strong. I have it on my wishlist. I plan to get it. It will look great on the Pro. Unreal Engine 5 can handle all the power you can throw at it. So i am excited.
Looks like MGS 3. I’ve played it so many times, I’m not sure how interested I am. I think I’ll save the money for Death Stranding 2.
@SilentBluntman that would be the dream. The footage of the Mission 51 was promising. Most of the assets and storyline are already in place, so it wouldn’t be impossible to make a Ground Zeroes sized addition. That would make it a true Master Collection. But I doubt it will ever happen.
I'm a longtime mgs fan and am looking forward to this, but in all reality, let's take the nostalgia goggles off for a second.
In a modern gaming context, despite how much I love it, the vo is just pure cheese and would have massively benefited from a rerecording with the original voice actors. I'm sure even Kojima wouldn't direct the vo that way if he'd release it today.
That and the lack of modernizations besides the visuals and gameplay improvements is very disappointing for me as a fan. And the sad thing is that it all comes as a reaction to a very toxic purist attitude amongst gamers who try to dictate to Devs what they should be doing.
Kojima even stated in his departure from Konami that if he'd remake the series he would revise story elements. Kojima was also ready to pass the torch.
I'm sick of gamers trying to prove their fine taste of fandom by glorifying everything past while hindering innovations.
Also putting Kojima on this god like pedestal is such a dumb form of fandom.
@Troubbble please don't go there. Even Saint Kojima said he'd revise the story if he'd do it again. Change can also be positive.
I don't understand how people think these character models look good. They look awful, nothing like how you'd imagine a realistic version of the original models would look. They've completely taken away the blonde hair of 3 characters and turned it into a browner style, the face models make them look older than they should be and the whole feel is just off for me. Very disappointed in this. The only person that looks remotely like their original character is Sokolov. And Volgin's face scars are a lot more brutal tbf.
Looks great, they're cutting it fine with the release date though if they're aiming for 2024. I love in hope of a full on remake of MGS1 though.
This is a pc buy. Got to get use out of the new pc build.
