"Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Retains 'Suggestive, Sexual' Content from MGS3"

The highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from its predecessor, Metal Gear Solid 3, including the controversial Peep Demo Theatre, as indicated by its age rating. Although developer Konami has not officially confirmed the retention of this content, the U.S. classification board, the ESRB, has given the stealth action game a Mature 17+ rating. This rating is due to the game's depiction of realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and "suggestive/sexual content."

The ESRB's detailed report on the game highlights its realistic combat and violence, stating, "Cutscenes depict further instances of violence/blood: a restrained character beaten and electrocuted; a character shot in the eye; a character on fire shot several times." Additionally, the ESRB notes the presence of suggestive/sexual content, such as "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 cutscene featuring Eva in her underwear. This feature becomes available after completing the game four times.

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

IGN's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview suggests that the game feels more like a highly polished HD remaster rather than the comprehensive remake fans might have hoped for. The review highlights the inclusion of a new first-person perspective and describes the game as "an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but 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 latest iteration.
