Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Shows Massive Visual Upgrade In Comparison

Expert Verified By

A Graphical Leap Worth Multiple Generations!

Story Highlight
  • Konami is expected to launch Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake by next year.
  • This remake uses Unreal Engine 5 and rebuilds nearly everything from scratch.
  • The revamps are on full display in a direct comparison video, which shows how much better the remake looks than the original.

Recently, Konami revealed an extensive look at Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake, which took fans by surprise. The remake looks great so far, and the best thing about it is that it strives to be as faithful as possible.

While there is still time until the remake finally arrives, a YouTuber has recently released an in-depth comparison of the original Metal Gear Solid 3 and Konami’s remake. Needless to say, the team’s latest work seems to be a massive upgrade over the original.

Why it matters: The remake is arriving three generations after the original release. This gives it a completely different class of hardware to work with, leading to high expectations from the fans.

ElAnalistaDeBits recently released a nearly 20-minute YouTube video comparing the two versions of Metal Gear Solid 3.

What’s clear immediately is how much better the environments look. Using the environment for stealth plays a major role in Metal Gear Solid 3, making the foliage more important than ever.

Fortunately, the grass is as detailed as it is dense. The textures are also vastly improved compared to the PS2 rendition, giving the ground and rocky surfaces a detailed look.

Perhaps the biggest change has been made to the models. Snake looks more detailed and realistic than ever, and Konami has confirmed a real-time battle-damage system for the character.

The studio promises that wounds will stay with you throughout the experience. This will lead to a different look for Snake by the time players are finished with the game. Moreover, the video also shows the many filters that Konami has included.

Our favorite filter makes the remake similar to the original release from 2004, giving it a nostalgic visual style.

Finally, the stealth and character animations have been worked on. The video above highlights these elements in-depth, reviewing nearly everything Konami has shared till now.

Capcom is currently leading the charge when it comes to remakes, but Konami seems to have done a solid job here. Fans are in for a treat if the final release is as great as the footage shown recently. However, an official release date is yet to be revealed.
