Action-stealth game \u201cMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater\u201d gets reborn next week in remake \u201cMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater,\u201d a modernized remake that adheres so closely to the original there\u2019s really just three big differences separating them: 20-years of video game VFX improvements, a new control system, and creator Hideo Kojima.<\/p>\n

When \u201cMetal Gear\u201d studio Konami announced it was remaking the game created by Kojima, who famously struck out on his own in 2015 after being let go by the game maker, it was largely understood there would be no involvement from Kojima himself. That was confirmed directly by the \u201cMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater\u201d developers themselves in an interview earlier this month.<\/p>\n

More from Variety<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we didn\u2019t really consult Kojima-san on this. Through this, it was just the current Konami staff,\u201d \u201cMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater\u201d lead producer Noriaki Okamura told reporters during an interview via translator at a Konami-hosted press event for the game in New York City on Aug. 5.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview published by Canadian fashion retailer Ssense<\/a>, \u201cDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach\u201d creator Kojima said, \u201cNo, I won\u2019t,\u201d when asked if he\u2019d be playing through the new version of \u201cMetal Gear Solid 3\u201d when it releases Aug. 28.<\/p>\n

Sitting alongside \u201cMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater\u201d creative producer Yuji Korekado during the Aug. 5 press event, Okamura said \u201cwe can\u2019t really say for ourselves\u201d if the team hopes Kojima reconsiders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not sure what he would want to do, but we want to deliver this game whilst being very respectful of all the people that we previously worked with as well, and we would love for them to see it, too,\u201d Okamura said. \u201cSo we\u2019re hoping that we can deliver a great game that people can enjoy, but we\u2019re not too sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dialogue for \u201cMetal Gear Solid Delta\u201d has been rerecorded by the original \u201cMetal Gear Solid 3\u201d cast in an effort to keep the game as close to the original Cold War-era story of FOX\u00a0operative\u00a0Naked Snake (voiced by David Hayter) as possible, while modernizing other aspects of the experience, like the controls, which are offered in a new format, as well as the \u201clegacy\u201d style from the original game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main thing we have changed, if you like, is that we have kept in mind that there are both going to be old fans who already love the series and new users,\u201d Okamura said. \u201cAnd because we want new users to smoothly pick up this game without feeling that it\u2019s old or the controls look strange to them, we have decided to implement a new style to make that easier for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Korekado added: \u201cThrough the new style, we\u2019ll be able to share what was so amazing about the original game to a new audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the developers would also like to see new users get the authentic, original experience themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just that we\u2019ve implemented the legacy style just for the users that already liked the game and played it before, we also want the new users to, once they\u2019ve played the game in new style, if they would then go back and play it in legacy style and be able to experience it in a slightly different way,\u201d Korekado said.<\/p>\n
