Sagas have always started at a specific point in history and then, thanks to their success, they have come and gone throughout the entire story arc, making leaps that fans followed with devotion, trying to understand all the events and facts to learn from them. memory all the lore. AND with Metal Gear Solid something similar happens, since its explosion in 1998 with the first PlayStation classic.
The fact is that just a few days ago Konami announced the launch of a remake based entirely on Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater to which the Japanese have removed the number and have put a Greek letter such as “Delta”. Something that It gives food for thought and it could be a conscious decision that we are going to try to explain below in such a way that we do not raise the hare to all those who do not know too much about the saga.
We start with the third, and that?
As we advance you in the headline, there must be a reason why Konami decided to take the third Metal Gear Solid and put him at the pole of a new politics of remakes of the franchise. It could be that of the first two it does not have the assets necessary to redo them in a faster way, or that perhaps they will require more work to transform them, but it seems to us that this is not exactly where the paths of history go. Because? Look at this list that we leave you below:
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004)
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (2010)
- Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (2014)
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015)
- Metal Gear (1987)
- Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990)
- Metal Gear Solid (1998)
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008)
Indeed, This is the list of games in the saga ordered chronologically as its argument takes place within the lore of all the Metal Gear Solid. This places Snake Eater as the first of all, hence Konami has decided to make the new games scrupulously following that order within the row.
Does that mean there will be more? remakes?
If the theory we offer is true, it is obvious that we will not stay alone Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater and that Konami will space out new installments over time that will respect the original idea, but show them in a different way. Not so much as Kojima himself conceived them when he belonged to the company as adapting them to the new times and to an audience that has not experienced the phenomenon of Solid Snake and company firsthand.
What’s more, if we look at the game’s Steam reservation page, we will see a sentence that raises some suspicion as well as another that everything that we indicate here is going to happen, because they place special emphasis on stating that “Discover the story behind the origin of the iconic military agent Snake and begins to unveil the plot of the legendary METAL GEAR series.” As someone who likes obvious things would say, is it necessary to add something else?
That is Konami’s spirit is to start the house from the foundations so after Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater… Can we expect an adaptation of the mythical Peace Walker which came in 2010 for PSP? What do you think?
