Metal Gear Solid Delta is Walking a Tightrope with One Feature

After years of rumors and speculation regarding its existence, the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, dubbed Metal Gear Solid Delta, was finally confirmed earlier this year. Since the official announcement and reveal trailer, fans have been treated to some in-engine footage showcasing the significant visual uplift that developer Virtuous is giving to Metal Gear Solid 3, which is all the more apparent given that the PS2 original still holds up as one of the best-looking games from the 6th generation. While players have a glimpse at Metal Gear Solid Delta‘s visuals, one thing that’s not yet clear is how the remake will attempt to toe the line between honoring its source material and upending player expectations.
