When the Metallic Gear Stable 3 remake was revealed again in Could, all we bought had been some photographs 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 offers us a take a look at the sport in motion, if solely briefly. And you understand what? It appears 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 approach 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 plenty of glimpses of wildlife. As some followers famous, the brand new footage seems to verify that Snake can lastly transfer whereas crouching, in contrast to within the unique recreation.
The sooner reveal trailer had the potential to be principally smoke and mirrors, however now this entire venture is wanting much more promising and actual. We nonetheless don’t have a agency launch date but, or a transparent thought 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 usually are not concerned in any approach.
The corporate stated it wished to start out with remaking Metallic Gear Stable 3 because it’s the origin story for Large Boss. If all goes will, it may imply we’ll finally get Unreal Engine remakes of Metallic Gear Stable 1 and a pair of as nicely. All three video games can at present be performed on the brand new Metallic Gear Stable: Grasp Assortment, although the remaster anthology leaves lots to be desired.
