Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the Peep Demo Theatre, as confirmed by the game's age rating.
While developer Konami has not officially acknowledged the retention of this controversial content, the U.S. classification board, the ESRB, has given the stealth action game a Mature 17+ rating. This rating is attributed to the game's realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and "suggestive/sexual content."
In addition to detailing the game's realistic combat and violence, the ESRB reports: "Cutscenes depict further instances of violence and blood: a restrained character beaten and electrocuted; a character shot in the eye; a character on fire shot several times."
"The game contains some suggestive/sexual content: a man groping a woman's breasts; close-up camera angles of deep cleavage; a character briefly groping a man's crotch; a Peep Demo Theatre allowing players to view cutscenes of a female character's body from a first-person perspective."The Peep Demo Theater, an unlockable feature from the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, allows Snake to move the camera around and zoom in during a cutscene where Eva appears in her underwear. It becomes available after completing the game four times.
Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released on August 28, alongside a new teaser trailer that also revealed the return of the Snake vs. Monkey minigame.
"Metal Gear Solid Delta feels more like a highly polished HD remaster rather than the refined remake it could have been," IGN noted in our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, which also touches on Snake's new first-person perspective. "It's a beautifully nostalgic experience, but perhaps too faithful to the original." The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive 9.6 from us.
