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

The upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the controversial Peep Demo Theatre, as per an age rating from the ESRB. While Konami has not officially confirmed the inclusion of this content, the U.S. classification board has given the game a Mature 17+ rating due to its realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and the presence of "suggestive/sexual content."

The ESRB's detailed report on the game highlights its intense combat and violence, noting scenes such as a restrained character being beaten and electrocuted, a character shot in the eye, and another set on fire and shot multiple times. Additionally, the ESRB outlines the suggestive and sexual elements, including instances of groping, close-up camera angles focusing on deep cleavage, and the Peep Demo Theatre. This feature, originally an unlockable extra in the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of Metal Gear Solid 3, allows players to view cutscenes of Eva in her underwear from a first-person perspective, unlocked after completing the game four times.

Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released on August 28, and a new teaser trailer revealed that the Snake vs. Monkey minigame will also return. 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," emphasizing its beauty but critiquing its faithfulness to the original. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received a stellar score of 9.6 from IGN, reflecting its high regard in the gaming community.
