The upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the controversial Peep Demo Theatre, as confirmed by the ESRB's Mature 17+ rating. This rating is attributed to the game's realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and the inclusion of "suggestive/sexual content."
The ESRB's detailed report highlights the game's intense violence and gore, mentioning scenes such as a restrained character being beaten and electrocuted, a character shot in the eye, and another set on fire and shot multiple times. Additionally, the ESRB notes the presence of suggestive/sexual content, including instances of a man groping a woman's breasts, close-up camera angles focusing on deep cleavage, a character briefly groping a man's crotch, and the Peep Demo Theatre. This feature, found in the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, allows players to view cutscenes of a female character in her underwear from a first-person perspective, unlocked after completing the game four times.
Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch on August 28, accompanied by a new teaser trailer that also confirms the return of the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame.
In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN described the game as more of a "very shiny HD remaster" than a comprehensive remake, noting its beautiful yet almost faultlessly faithful approach to the original. This nostalgia trip introduces a new first-person perspective for Snake. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, reflecting its high acclaim.
