Helpful Feature for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

The Metal Gear Solid franchise has a long history. It started as a fresh take on Kojima’s top down action adventure stealth game Metal Gear, with Konami bringing the series to the PS1 in 1998 and introducing a full 3D gameplay experience while leveraging the console’s power to create cinematic cutscenes and complex narratives inspired by movies. The franchise has since spanned several titles, though MGS3 is arguably the most praised among fans. This entry lets players sneak through the jungle as Naked Snake, tackling all kinds of challenges, from unique bosses to animals, starvation, and more. Although the game remains a beloved classic, the upcoming remake promises to fine tune several aspects to align it more with modern standards.

Konami recently revealed a short video showcasing a new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater mechanic that addresses MGS3’s clunky camouflage system. In the footage, players can swap camo in less than three seconds. Those who played the original game will remember how slow this mechanic was. In MGS3, players had to pause the game, enter the menu, open the “Camo” section, pick one, then close the menu and resume gameplay.

The camo system, however, was a feature that significantly enhanced the experience at the time, adding another stealth element and giving players new ways to get creative when dealing with enemies, that’s why this tweak is good news for the game. A similar evolution happened with the codec, a mechanic present since the earliest Metal Gear titles. While the feature has changed from game to game, it’s still unclear how MGSD: Snake Eater will handle it.

The codec, while useful back in the day as it provided a way for the player to receive helpful information and served as a medium for delivering the narrative and creating impressively dramatic moments, can sometimes disrupt immersion and could benefit from modern improvements. As fans eagerly await the game’s August 28 release, MGSD: Snake Eater continues teasing players with the features and content it will introduce.
