When the Metallic Gear Strong 3 remake was revealed again in Might, all we bought had been some pictures of a swamp and Bare Snake popping out of the water. A brand new trailer that debuted right now throughout the newest Xbox mini-showcase lastly provides us a have a look at the sport in motion, if solely briefly. And you realize what? It seems actually good.
The remake will take the 2004 PlayStation 2 recreation and overhaul it in Unreal Engine 5. Whereas that might run the chance of drastically altering the model and really feel of the unique Fox Engine model of the stealth motion recreation, Snake’s environmental sneaking and silent takedowns look as characteristically Metallic Gear as ever, and the graphics look manner higher.
Right here’s the brand new trailer:
The “first in-engine look” begins with Bare Snake trudging by way of a muddy river subsequent to a crocodile. Later we see him crouching close to some tall grass because the mud flicks off his garments and boots. From there we see him aiming a pistol, climbing throughout a cliff, grabbing a man from behind, and plenty and many glimpses of wildlife. As some followers famous, the brand new footage seems to verify that Snake can lastly transfer whereas crouching, not like within the unique recreation.
The sooner reveal trailer had the potential to be principally smoke and mirrors, however now this complete undertaking is trying much more promising and actual. We nonetheless don’t have a agency launch date but, or a transparent concept of precisely who at Konami is engaged on it. Singaore-based artwork and outsource growth studio Virtuos helps with manufacturing. Konami additionally confirmed the remake will use the unique voice performances, however that unique director Hideo Kojima and unique artist Yoji Shinkawa aren’t concerned in any manner.
The corporate stated it needed to start out with remaking Metallic Gear Strong 3 because it’s the origin story for Massive Boss. If all goes will, it might imply we’ll ultimately get Unreal Engine remakes of Metallic Gear Strong 1 and a couple of as properly. All three video games can at the moment be performed on the brand new Metallic Gear Strong: Grasp Assortment, although the remaster anthology leaves loads to be desired.
