Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater Remake Will Fix One Of The Most Annoying Features Of The Original
I'm just gonna level with ya'll, I didn't think much of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in 2004. But a new look at an improved gameplay feature in the upcoming remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta, might just be enough to convert this jaded fan who's convinced the series peaked at Sons of Liberty. In a 12-second clip, Naked Snake can be seen swapping his camo from a foresty look to something more suitable for an urban environment in record time. It's way faster and less cumbersome-looking than the camo-swapping of the original. Check it out:
Hell yeah, that's a whole three seconds to swap camo with an in-game menu that looks pretty snappy. The original required you to pause the game, then select 'camouflage' from a menu, then select 'face' or 'uniform' before choosing your desired pattern.
As I said earlier, at best I feel sorta 'meh' about MGS3; the menu-diving the original demands of you to swap camo, eat anything, and treat your wounds is one of its biggest offenders in my opinion (alongside the boring, self-indulgent story and that god awful song). I found it very hard to stay engaged in the action when the game made me sort through menu screens so often, despite the camo being a genuinely neat idea.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots notably eschewed the whole eating and wound-healing stuff (for the better). It would keep the camo, though. And since it took place many decades after MGS3, there was a sci-fi twist on it that made things much smoother. In MGS4, Old Snake could just lean against almost any wall and absorb the texture via his nifty OctoCamo which, it turns out, was inspired by the natural camouflage abilities of real-life octopi.
The natural ability of octopi was also referenced in MGS4 via the game's opening faux TV ads.
While some of us might be a little skeptical of this post-Kojima MGS future we're entering with Delta, it's nice to see Konami looking for opportunities to improve existing aspects of the game. Here's hoping eating and wound-healing will be just as speedy in the remake, which arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 28, 2025.

Metal Gear Solid 3 teases what certainly looks like a Metal Gear Online homage, complete with its adorable Kerotan frog figurines
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the long-awaited remake that's easily among my most anticipated upcoming PS5 games, showed up during tonight's State of Play, and there was an interesting tease of something right at the end of the trailer. For a while, the latest Metal Gear Solid 3 trailer was pretty normal - at least by Metal Gear standards. There were stealthy shenanigans, some interesting cutscenes, and a healthy dose of action. After that, there was a whole section dedicated to the iconic Ape Escape crossover, which continues to look as peculiar as ever. The trailer appears to draw to and end, but then we get a tease of something else. we get to watch a character merge out of the background, having hidden from our view by use of an impressive ghillie suit. As they drop to the ground, however, their entire appearance changes - instead of leaves and branches, they now appear to be nothing more than a cluster of rocks upon the ground. That's bad news for the unfortunate goon who comes through right at the close of the trailer, entirely bamboozled by the camouflage. It's a little confusing - honestly, it's not clear whether this is an excellent active camo setup, or if it's a hint at some kind of online multiplayer mode. Long-time Metal Gear Online player (and my colleague) Iain suggests that the small frog figure that gets collected in that clip is a Kerotan - the figurine you were tasked with collecting back then. And active camo also made an appearance in Metal Gear Online, suggesting that really could be the tease. Either way, Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is set to launch towards the end of August, so I imagine we'll learn a little more relatively soon. The Summer Game Fest schedule 2025 has kicked off - albeit a little earlier than we thought it might.

Creepy Awesome New Trailer for the Horror Game SILENT HILL F — GeekTyrant
Konami released a new trailer for Silent Hill f , the latest game in the long running psycological horror franchise, but this time it's set in Japan. This looks like a very creepy and awesome new entry in the horro franchise! The trailer in full Japanese language, but it's not hard to figure out they nightmarish that is unfolding with this characters. The story takes place in 1960s Japan, and it follows Shimizu Hinak, whose secluded town of Ebisugaoka is consumed by a sudden fog. Her once-familiar home becomes a haunting nightmare. As the town falls silent and the fog thickens, Hinako must navigate the twisted paths of Ebisugaoka, solving complex puzzles and confronting grotesque monsters to survive. 'Immerse yourself into Hinako's world as imagined by renowned author Ryukishi07, with entrancing soundscapes by Akira Yamaoka and beautiful visuals in a gripping tale of doubt, regret, and inescapable choices. 'Will Hinako embrace the beauty hidden within terror, or succumb to the madness that lies ahead? Discover a new chapter in the SILENT HILL series, blending psychological horror with a haunting Japanese setting.' Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto, said the game will focus on '[finding] the beauty in terror. Regardless of its new setting in Japan, this is without a doubt a Silent Hill game. Silent Hill f 's mixture of beautiful and terrifying visuals gives new life to Silent Hill as a Japanese-style horror game.' Ryukishi07, known for his Higurashi When They Cry visual novel, described the concept of Silent Hill as a setting, one that has seen 'many memories, stories and much pain with a dark history.' He also said that Silent Hill is also about portraying a characters' struggles with the evil within themselves. 'Of these two interpretations, if we consider the latter to be closer to the core of Silent Hill, then we can see how this game is very much a Silent Hill.' Things are going to get so grim at points that Konami released a disclaimer saying that it's okay if you need to take a break now and then. It reads: "If you feel uncomfortable at any point while playing, please take a break from playing or speak to someone you trust." I lov e that! Legendary composer Akira Yamaoka returns to craft the chilling soundscapes of Silent Hill f blending haunting melodies attuned to the series' psychological horror roots to create a universally unsettling experience. Accompanying Yamaoka is game composer Kensuke Inage, who has worked on the Dynasty Warriors series, as well as Tekken 8 and Samurai Shodown . Inage will be responsible for composing the music for the game's Otherworld, adding a unique auditory contrast between the two Worlds in Silent Hill f . The game is set to be released on September 25, 2025.
