Kojima: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is a full remake photo

Hideo Kojima says that we aren't getting some remastered, retooled, refried version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in the upcoming 3DS re-release, due out in Japan on March 8, 2012. The game creator recently met with Japanese press and said that Snake Eater 3D would be a full remake, created from scratch and optimized for the 3DS hardware.

While I'm up for any configuration that gives me Snake Eater in portable form, it's nice to know that Kojima wants more for this game. These flat ports are making me tired.

Releasing this, and Metal Gear HD collection so close to each other has to be one of the worst ideas I've seen. I predict that this is going to bomb - and not because it's a bad game.

Well, technically OoT 3D and Star Fox 64 were full remakes, created from scratch (with the low-poly/high-res texture graphic style being intentional), but people still found a way to bitch about those for being "flat ports that make them tired."

That's what I want to hear more of, from all these HD remakes.
Shtuff upgraded for the new technology and consoles.
Now to wait for Snake's Revenge in glorious HD, with polygons and what-have-you.

It better be given that I just picked up MGS-HD collection.

This was on my list since the 3DS launch but after HD collection idk, I have to see what this game will offer over the original, especially if its gonna be a full priced 3DS game.

@Shinta
Some of us prefer to game on handhelds over consoles so we don't have to worry about transfarring, and this is the first portable version of MGS3, so it's not TOO terrible of an idea; different market.

Yet it still looks painfully familiar to the Subsistence version? See: Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, missile-parrying toes aside, THAT'S a remake.

Good to know, that one trailer on 3DS eShop had people worried for a bit. Hopefully we see more in the months to come. I'm not above having another version of MGS3 around to go with my HD version, as its one of those games I always revisit at some point.

You can transfar on the Vita, which is portable.

It's also getting an HD version of 3, with two other games for about the same price as this. Unless you're a Nintendo fanboy who hates the Vita, it's hard to justify buying this, unless the 3D is REALLY good.

its a great idea, but an idea that im not going to buy into. after the mgs hd collection and as magnalon said with the transfaring, i just cannot see myself buying this.

@Magnalon - Or if you just don't want a Vita.

I'm waiting for the real PS Vita to come out, not the rushed version on Feb 22nd.

Well to be honest, 2 years of development of a port a game to a more powerful system, which was actually once showed to worse graphics than the original, and was also first shown as a tech demo with much better graphics, and then there was was the whole ZOE 3DS thing. Plus releasing this after he hd collection. Honestly this makes no since. So if its not a remake, this has no chance of selling, unless they bundle it with twin snakes and the slide pad. The weird part is I do not have a 3ds yet or even played a metal gear game, so I have no clue why its is bugging me.

Yeah I agree with Shinta and Magnalon. I and many people were really stoked about this game, but when the HD collection was announced my interest for this almost disaperead Also this raises the question of did MGS3 really need to be remade from scratch?

I'm still somewhat interested in this, but I really think this should have been released at least a year before the HD collection. I feel the same way about Cave Story 3D, the game looks great and I'm definitely going to get it, but releasing that around the same time as Cave Story + is just a bad move.

MGS3 3D is a neat idea, and I may pick this up year down the line, but the MGS HD Collection It's a significantly better value. Though at the very least this will satisfy the people who only want to play MGS 3 with 3D, and what I heard in reports was that the 3D is really good.

I'm happy Kojima put in that kind of time for this, he obviously sees something in the 3DS that not many others are (for better or worse).

@Shinta

I can't wait to play this on the 3DS, even if I get to it on the 360 first. More Snake is better then no Snake.

And Ahoyhoy is right, both those games were full remakes, however Star Fox 3D is a much easier target for bitching because of its flat use of multiplayer then OoT was for improving what was already there and giving us more.

Even with my MGS: HD Collection, I'll still have to pick this up. It is pretty hard to justify though.

Ocarina of Time 3D is amazing, and is necessary....playing the original is not something I'm into right now. Gimme a 3DS remake any day.

Gotta love how gamers will bitch about anything. It's not like your forced to buy this shit.

Go bitch about how bankers and corrupt politicians insist on running our lives instead.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is Metal Gear Solid 3. I'm getting this because it is Metal Gear Solid 3.

I seriously doubt it. The HD collection wasnt even a full remake, they just touched up the textures a bit. If anything, they shrunk the PS2's textures for the 3DS. Not out of necessity, but to save money/space on the card, and that textures dont need to be as big on a small screen.

Maybe the engine is remade, but I guarantee the assets aren't. They wouldn't re-record all that audio for example.

Pisses me off the HD collection doesnt support HD even though it's 1080p 60fps already.

I don't believe that at all. Some of the models in the game look exactly the same, and I don't believe that would be the case if they were remaking from scratch. The only difference is in the lighting and textures (they look worse).

By the way, OOT 3D and SF64 3D are good games, but they feel alot more like ports than remakes. Just because some things in the game are different (namely the graphics) doesn't make them full remakes.

Then why doesn't it look like the Naked Sample then?

I really hope MGS 3DS uses that second analog stick. Playing Snake eater on PS2 and then playing it in HD on PS3 having the option to rotate that camera makes the game so much easier to control! The perfect example is Peace walker for PSP and PS3. It makes such a difference! I hope they do it right other wise many gamers will end up getting frustrated at crappy controls which ruins a pretty near perfect game.

@Rockefellow,

Why wouldn't you be able to hook it up to a tv, you can with the psp.
I don't think the Vita will have removed that.

and I don't think it was really necessary to call him a dumbass either.

Hell, this could be a 3d still image of the title screen and I'd still probably buy this Goddamned game.

This, like OoT is one of the greatest games of all time. There will always be people buying it no matter where it goes. If I had a 3DS, which I don't, this would undoubtedly be something I pick up.
