Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake in-engine footage receives mixed reaction
At last night's Xbox Partner Preview showcase we finally saw in-engine footage of Konami's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake for the first time, but it received a mixed reaction from fans.
The remake — Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to use its official name — is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and this new trailer showed Snake sneaking around a beautifully lit jungle and a cute little frog paddling through some very realistic water.
