Konami is slowly sharing extra particulars about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and it’s not sounding precisely like what some followers had been anticipating. The sport will certainly be utilizing the unique voice forged, however it received’t be recording any of their performances. The PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC sport can be sticking with previous voice work.
“The remake will star the unique voice characters,” acknowledged the sport’s preliminary press launch. This gave some gamers the impression that the unique forged would return to supply contemporary performances for the brand new model. Later, the official Metal Gear Twitter account wrote, “The story and character voices in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater stay the identical from the unique sport.” That implied that the “next-gen” sport would merely reuse the fabric from the PlayStation 2 authentic.
Sure sufficient, Konami has now lastly confirmed precisely that. “Essentially it’s saying the story and character voices in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will stay as they had been within the authentic sport,” a spokesperson for the writer informed Kotaku. Konami was even extra direct with The Verge, stating there can be no adjustments from the unique voice work.
For some followers, that is little doubt a superb factor. There’s no higher approach to not mess with the enduring traces and performances of the unique than to simply copy them over. In the case of the latest Resident Evil 4 remake, some roles had been recast, main diehards to be disenchanted with a few of the variations.
But it does add to the rising sense that there’s simply one thing off in regards to the Snake Eater remake. We nonetheless don’t actually know what can be completely different about it, apart from improved graphics and extra lifelike crocodiles. There’s no projected launch 12 months but. And no person’s fairly certain who’s main the undertaking…solely that Metal Gear Solid sequence creator Hideo Kojima is unquestionably not concerned.
Port and outsource studio Virtuous is helping Konami, however who’s left at Konami with expertise making a Metal Gear sport, not to mention a remake of one of many most beloved ones? I’m certain we’ll discover out ultimately. Maybe at Sony’s 2025 PlayStation’s Showcase.
