It's not uncommon for older games to get new coats of paint, but not all remakes and remasters are of the caliber of 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. 21 years later, we now have Metal Gear Solid Delta, an Unreal Engine 5-driven remake of Konami's PlayStation 2 classic stealth-action offering that's both true to the original and fully modernized. To talk about the whole package, I (Colin) invited Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Punching Up's Gene Park for a 2+ hour conversation that delves deep into the characters and story, not to mention the gameplay and much more. It turns out that you can indeed do Metal Gear without Hideo Kojima. It's just that you have to copy everything he already did!

I'll get to this in a few months. It's almost Yōtei time; after that, probably Gears.

Looking forward to listening to this. Snake Eater is one of my all time favourites, and it's a real treat to experience it again with modern visuals and QoL improvements. Was great to hear on SS how Colin and Chris have a new appreciation for this classic.

Really want to give this game a go, but I’ll definitely wait for a sale!

My older, Mexican coworker and I just knocked out 10 hours of work in 6 hours. A cold drink and a couple of good friends talking about Kojima is exactly what I need

Gary Clark

Glad to see younger gamers play this game.Its an all time game no doubt!

CUMSoftware

It’s really “something” listening to the first hour of yesterdays Sacred and then going and looking at Chris’ and Tom Sweeney’s twitter from yesterday…FUCKING LOL

As cool as this looks I'm not sure its worth the price tag for me.

William Harding

Hilarious commentary from Chris in this episode. Very happy to see Colin come around on this game and nerd out about the alternate history aspects of the story.

Jumping to 2 would undermine the whole point of starting chronologically. In any case, glad Chris is still here, the little cutey 🙊.

Lunar Tear

One of my favorite games of all time but at this price and at this time of year with so much else releasing imminently, I'll have to wait for a sale. Maybe Black Friday along with Borduhlunds 4.

The Devmeister

Chris Family Guy definitely had a movie. The Stewie Griffin story.

Gene, I thought that by the end of mgs 4 doesn't ocelot say that liquid never took control of his body he was just acting like him though. Was a purpose to it I thought but it's been years since I played so I might be off

Gene Park

He does but it’s because he replaced the arm with a cybernetic one in 4. He was tired of how unpredictable Liquid’s takeovers were, so he instead used hypnosis to trick himself into thinking he’s liquid. It was a massive retcon that was written into the story - g

I also 100% it and immediately dove back into TPP and I’m playing it so methodically and differently this time around (hour 180 in total) but playing so slow and methodically now. God I love MGS (if the name wasn’t obvious)

I got the platinum and still want to go back and play it. That doesn’t usually happen for me. Says a lot about how great this game is.

My favorite series is MGS. I’ve been rocking with it since MGS launch on PS. Snake Eater is my favorite game of all time. So Delta has usurped it as my definitive experience (just based on controls). I’ve played MGS3 and beat it atleast 50x. I have the platinum for the Snake Eater & now Delta. I can’t stop playing this version. I can’t wait for the 1/2/4 to have the Delta treatment. When the trophies came for MGS4, I went back and damn near got everything but one. I hope we get it in the next collection.

Eric Golley

Listening to this episode as someone that's never played this game nor any metal gear game. It really wasn't even a spoiler cast. This was a complete fever dream. Shits cracking me up.

Jack Salkild

This episode has spoilers for a lot more than 3/delta

When my son was in a stroller, my sister in law said, “I wish they had strollers for adults”… I said “They do, wheelchairs”.

Kojima Made Me Gay

“The red army took awhile to get going” maybe due to the 5 year long civil war and due to the massive industrialization project of feudal peasants they weren’t quite ready to get invaded. 🤔 never forget Stalingrad. I’m impressed that the organization of the working class can overcome fascism.

Great Review and discussion. Just a quick correction. The MGS trailer Gene is referring to was actually the MGS4 on PS3 reveal at E3 2005. Not only did it confirm Hideo Kojima as the director, it also confirmed Solid Snake as the main character. Two major topics of discussion at the time for MGS fans.
