The Steel Gear Strong 3: Snake Eater remake – aka Steel Gear Strong Delta – resurfaced throughout tonight’s Xbox Video games Showcase. We nonetheless don’t have a launch date, regardless of indicators we’d see the remake of the 2004 recreation this yr, however we did get a reasonably good have a look at a bunch of key moments from the unique remade within the shiny Unreal Engine 5 do-over – together with a have a look at The Boss and the acquainted gravelly tones of Snake actor David Hayter.
MGS Delta was revealed final yr with a really transient tease of its devoted sprucing of the PlayStation 2 traditional, which has to this point solely come to PC (formally) within the serviceable if pretty underwhelming Grasp Assortment. We later bought a fuller have a look at some gameplay, displaying that, sure, this can certainly be a Steel Gear Strong recreation with all of the sneaking, capturing, choking and wriggling round on the ground that means.
The most recent gameplay reveal gave a extra action-packed style than the pretty serene stealth slice of the most recent trailer, displaying Bare Snake blasting helicopters, wielding a rocket launcher within the sidecar of a bike, CQC-ing guards to the ground, encountering the Ocelot Unit and interrogating troopers whereas holding a knife to their throats. It was a surprisingly wide-ranging showcase, in my view, spanning from the opening HALO bounce on the very begin of the sport by way of to the very late-game bike chase.
We additionally bought a really transient glimpse on the recreation’s crocodile hat – I’m personally curious to see if the marginally clunky camouflage menus are streamlined within the remake – whereas Snake swam round in some swamps and crawled in mud. One snippet confirmed Snake taking goal at some sort of elk-deer factor with twisty horns (what am I, a zoologist?) to organize his subsequent meal. I don’t bear in mind seeing that particular animal within the unique, so it may be new.
Perhaps most excitingly – at the very least for me – we bought to lastly see Delta’s tackle Snake’s mentor The Boss, displaying the enduring confrontation on the rickety rope bridge from early within the recreation. The cutscene clips additionally gave us our first earful of returning Snake actor David Hayter, having been elbowed out in favour of Keifer Sutherland for Steel Gear Strong V.
It continues to look very, very good – and really near the unique, albeit with a lot prettier graphics, so far as my reminiscence serves. Nonetheless, with no signal of a launch date but, we don’t understand how lengthy we’ll be ready to offer a go for ourselves.
The flurry of summer season video games occasions are actually underway! Hit up our Summer time Recreation Fest 2024 hub and our Day Of The Devs roundup for all of the information value caring about from the reveals to this point.
