MGS Delta: Snake Eater Retains Original's Suggestive Content, Rating Indicates

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the infamous Peep Demo Theatre, as confirmed by the game's age rating. Although developer Konami has not officially acknowledged the retention of this controversial material, the ESRB has classified the stealth action game as Mature 17+ due to its 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 include descriptions of cutscenes that depict intense violence and blood, such as a restrained character being beaten and electrocuted, another shot in the eye, and a character on fire being shot multiple times. Furthermore, the ESRB notes the presence of suggestive/sexual content, which includes scenes of a man groping a woman's breasts, close-up camera angles showcasing deep cleavage, a character briefly groping a man's crotch, and the Peep Demo Theatre feature that allows players to view cutscenes of a female character's body from a first-person perspective.

The Peep Demo Theatre is an unlockable feature in the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, allowing players to manipulate the camera during a cutscene featuring Eva in her underwear. This feature becomes available after completing the game four times.

Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released on August 28, accompanied by a new teaser trailer that also confirms the return of the Snake vs. Monkey minigame.

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," highlighting its beautiful yet almost faultlessly faithful approach to nostalgia. The preview also mentions the introduction of a new first-person perspective for Snake. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from us.
