"Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Retains Original MGS3's Suggestive Content, Rating Indicates"

The highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is set to retain the suggestive and sexual content from its predecessor, Metal Gear Solid 3, including the notorious Peep Demo Theatre. This revelation comes from an age rating by the ESRB, which has classified the stealth action game as Mature 17+ due to its realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and the inclusion of "suggestive/sexual content."

The ESRB's detailed report sheds light on the game's intense violence and gore, citing examples such as a restrained character being beaten and electrocuted, a character shot in the eye, and another on fire being shot multiple times. However, it's the suggestive content that has sparked particular interest: "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 Theatre, an unlockable feature from the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, allows players to manipulate the camera during a specific cutscene featuring Eva in her underwear. This feature is unlocked after completing the game four times, adding a layer of challenge and reward to the experience.

Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch on August 28. Alongside this announcement, a new teaser trailer revealed the return of the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame, delighting fans of the series.

In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN described the game as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." The review highlights the new first-person perspective and notes that while the game is a beautiful nostalgia trip, it remains almost faithful to a fault. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN, setting a high bar for its remastered counterpart.
