Big Boss' model has been extremely consistent since MGS3. It's clear that they reused the MGSV model and made him look younger, so it's not shocking at all. I'm wondering if they're gonna reuse Ocelot's model from MGSV as well and age him down...

Agreed. It's the best attempt I've seen so far at a realistic version of Snake's iconic look, and it does his face justice while being believable as a real person.

It sadly makes sense because they are the only major dev that does the type of survival horror that Silent hill is, with the exception of Remedy, even though their track record has been pretty poor.

I think MGS Delta looks great so far. It does make me think just how good the original MGS 3 still looks. Game was just a masterpiece.

[@FierceElements]

As long as PC has 60fps or unlimited, I'm in. I love the new graphics but I must be one of those people that are strongly impacted by 30 fps against greater fps. It truly is like a slideshow. It takes my eyes over 15 minutes to adjust everytime I play a modern fps at 120-240fps on a 240hz monitor.

[@MrIndiemusic101]

I know people will probably disagree but I feel it just needs a slight bit of color correction for it to be perfect. I dunno but the vignettes and the greenish oranges hue ths original had helped ground its setting in the 1960s despite it evoking that retrofurist aesthetic as if the game camera was a camera of from that era.

[@kojk2545]

The Boss looks good, but it's a bit off in my eyes. I'd like to see a slight redesign. If I was shown a full profile of her version in the remake out of context, it's likely I wouldn't recognize her.

[@midosyt]

yeah she doesnt look ghastly enough by the events in mgs3 the boss was just done quite literally

[@ptroit]

I kind of felt it but didn't want to admit it originally, but seeing the back and forth, it's shocking how much cheekbone structure matters! Hopefully it won't matter for the overall product (it still feels nitpicky) OR they have a Sonic movie level epiphany. Also just noticed her jawline is a bit masculine. It's possible those 2 changes would be enough of a fix to make her recognizable

[@SIXminWHISTLE]

I'm hoping her hairstyle from the poncho / sneaking suit look from the rest of the game will suit the new face better.

[@richardtucker5938]

I agree, i think Snake looks absolutely perfect, the way I i imagined him to look.. But the Boss looks like she doesn't stem from the same impression you get from here original model.

[@MamoMark]

she has that thousand yard stare now, which really adds a lot of character. her redesign looks a little odd because im used to the og, but overall Im digging her look.

3:56 This is technically a fix, for some reason every cinematic in the HD Collection for MGS3 is slightly lower or higher than it was originally. The character and actor names are misalligned too, possibly as a side effect. The 3DS version fixed both of these issues. I don't recall if enabling letterboxing fixes this, but it does fix the water during The Sorrow scene and The Wig scene where Snake leaves Eva to fight The Boss. On the flipside I think some of the credits in the Virtous Mission seen during the HALO jump appear over the bottom bar though.

They were trying to make it look realistic on PS2. MGS2 is possibly the most realistic looking game on PS2. But people seem to REALLY forget the PS2's limits. Basically every game looked somewhat stylized because you couldn't push the amount of polygons, lighting, texture quality etc necessary for a photoreal look.

​@@MetalArcadeThe most realistic looking game on the PS2 has to be Silent Hill 3 from my experience...

3:56 the framing is inaccurate in the HD collection, I'm not sure why, it could be that the original cutscenes were made with the uneven letterboxing present in the PS2 release, this was fixed in the 3ds release of MGS3. TL:DR; the framing is different to the HD collection, because the HD collection framing is incorrect, refer to the PS2 or 3ds release for the correct framing.

[@Kizaru3314]

I've always seen the loading screens between each area as representations of a passage of time. Each area you come across is a unique area with characteristics that make it different from the last and the next. The loading screens - artistically - are communicating that 'Snake had to travel a while before he got here'. I fear that without the fade to black transitions, the world will feel small, ironically.

[@Dorraj]

I disagree completely. I feel like getting rid of those transitions will open the game up immensely, and make it feel way less like you're just playing a sequence of separated levels. Imagine if you get an alert and run into the next area, and instead of you being thrown into a new area awkwardly with no one nearby, you are instead followed by your pursuers. The whole alert system needs a makeover too.

I, for one, absolutely ADORE the character redesigns. They look like the real people the original characters were trying to cartoonize. Amazing work.

To be fair, MGS3 aged a lot better than any of the 3D-universe GTA games. These games deserved full makeovers, including animation and voices (lots of audio is still heavily compressed with artifacting).

I love the way every MGS plays and are all slightly different from one another, but in this remake, I am happy to, at least from the look of it, have over-the-shoulder aiming akin to four and five where you'd otherwise use first person.

Snake is a dead ringer for mid nineties Sean Bean 👀

Look what they did to my gurl Big Boss,she doesnt have that concern mom look anymore. I am on the minority here but since everyone is saying what they want, I rather have Splinter Cell Chaos Theory HD with the online spy vs merc multiplayer become a passive live service game so they stop fucking crying about money. That engine could be emulated to every system make that shit cross platform so theres always people to play against. Chaos online Theory > MGS3 online

[@peace4myheart]

I hope Konami doesn't break the fans' hearts with this release. I'm skeptical bc they have lost all their goodwill from me. I will wait for reviews before purchasing.

[@jamiebirley]

Just hearing that music makes me excited to play this all over again. Best MGS ever made

[@Ragesauce]

The remake has noticable stuttering. I dont care how great the graphics look, if it stutters like that it takes me right out of the immersion.

[@Omi-han]

My favorite thing about this is that it seems extremely faithful to the original. Genuinely cant wait to play this

[@jongamez5163]

Yeah it's like the people making this Remake are true fans of the original game!

[@YurRedRooster]

​@@jongamez5163some of them worked on the original. The Producer overseeing the game has been with Metal Gear for 30 years

[@Omi-han]

@@jongamez5163 Just a relief, we see one too many bad remakes. Mafia was a big dissapointment for me from the original, so im glad Snake Eater is at least looking faithful

[@jongamez5163]

@@Omi-han Agree 💯 ! If only they could Remake all the original games like this one 🙏

[@voicedjohn]

This must be so embarrassing for them. They fired the guy, only to accept he was right and Silent Hill deserves a new entry, plus, they recognized his franchise was the best thing they had, so now they are after recreating his work to the minute details because they know what he did was already perfect, and if they change anything it might f it all up

Truly, this is the generation of the remake

Inevitable gamer comment: 'I think they look the same!"

[@MatheusFerreira-si4ju]

That and "the original looks better"

[@dmer-zy3rb]

@@MatheusFerreira-si4ju i kinda like the original graphics more to be honest. i dont vibe with the super blurry TAA and motion blur graphics the trailer shows. hopefully we can atleast turn off some of it. literally looks as blurry as the ps2 version just with higher rendering resolution.

[@makimwah]

@@dmer-zy3rbCan we please move on from demonizing motion blur and TAA? The game is built using UE5 which offers TSR, a temporal upscaler with GREAT image quality. The object-based motion blur lends the game the cinematic feel it needs, although I agree that it should be toggle-able for those who experience motion sickness. We’ve perfected all these technologies and just repeating the same bullshit from years ago just makes you look like you’re unable to form your own thoughts.

[@JerryFlowersIII]

@@makimwah I get what you mean but they were hardly demonizing it, just didn't vibe. Normally I'm all in with TAA (and upscalers) and good motion blur. For me, it's just that MGS3 has such a defined look that it's odd to see it in a different way.

[@TheCynicalAutist]

​@@makimwahNo, a good subset of people want the option of turning off upscaling and anti aliasing so they can actually see the raw rendered image, but because so many devs now use UE5 and forgo optimisation and just rely on upscalers, it means consumers have less options when trying to optimise their game settings. Maybe let's not shill and actually promote choice and variety within titles.

They've cut out hideo kojimas name....already an inferior version

[@DavidPereiraLima123]

See, gaming industry, this is how remakes should be, I've said the same when the Tomb Raider remake collection was done. Deviating too much from the source is the problem...

[@Synkhan]

I will say, I think these updated designs are pretty good. The Boss in particular looks amazing to me. She has the right balance of beaty and grit while also keeping with the tone of her more manga/comic style.

[@Harris963]

Same! I love her new look personally.

[@DaedrinMolkre]

Big fan of the Naked Snake face, but The Boss’s new look is gonna take me some time to adjust to.

[@richardwilliams877]

I can't stand any of the new faces, but can't see anyone else talking about it, so doubt they'll make any changes :(

[@LutraLovegood]

I'm gonna get used to Naked in Unreal, but The Boss looks spot on to me.
