Upgraded Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – Enhanced Visuals, Modern Controls, and New Photo Mode

Fans are getting an early look at Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the remake of the beloved PlayStation 2 classic, ahead of its August 28th launch. The new game remains highly faithful to the original while featuring significantly upgraded visual quality and realistic details. Examples include raindrops on ponchos, dirty camouflage that extends into narrative scenes, and the impactful, realistic depiction of character scars, especially those of Colonel Volgin. A new Photo Mode further enhances the experience, allowing players to capture moments and hidden game details using various filters and settings. The updated control system modernizes gameplay with a free 360-degree camera and combat mechanics similar to Metal Gear Solid V, including assisted aim and an optional first-person view. A key improvement is the remapping of directional buttons, which now provide quick access to inventory, weapons, radio, and a dedicated camouflage menu. This menu recommends optimal clothing and face combinations for the environment, streamlining action without the need for traditional menus.
