Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the notorious Peep Demo Theatre, as confirmed by the game's Mature 17+ rating from the ESRB. This rating is attributed to the game's realistic depiction of violence, including gunfire, cries of pain, and bloody combat, alongside the inclusion of "suggestive/sexual content."
The ESRB's detailed report highlights the game's violent scenes, such as a character being beaten and electrocuted while restrained, another being shot in the eye, and a character engulfed in flames being shot multiple times. Additionally, the ESRB notes the presence of suggestive material, which includes instances of a man groping a woman's breasts, close-up camera angles focusing on deep cleavage, a brief scene of a character groping a man's crotch, and the Peep Demo Theatre. This feature, which was also present in the Subsistance and HD Collection versions of Metal Gear Solid 3, allows players to view cutscenes of a female character, Eva, in her underwear from a first-person perspective. Unlocking this feature requires playing through the game four times.
Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch on August 28, and a new teaser trailer has confirmed the return of the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame.
In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN remarked that the game seems more like an enhanced HD remaster than a comprehensive remake. Despite its stunning visuals, the game remains faithful to the original, perhaps to a fault. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, underscoring its high regard in the gaming community.
