If Konami plans to remake more Metal Gear Solid games after Delta, then one underrated spin-off shouldn't be left out.

Specifically, he notes that upgrading the graphics can end up compromising the feel of the original game. Okamura wants players to feel that even though the graphics are new, they are still the same Snake Eater which fans remember from 20 years ago. “Our whole goal in creating this remake is to make sure it still looks like the game you played 20 years ago, but without it looking like an old game,” Okamura explains.



Another area Okamura wanted to update was Snake Eater's, with the game featuring a “new-type” control scheme that makes it more in line with recent installments in the series. However, Delta it will also feature the classic control layout for fans who still want to use it. The goal, in Okamura's eyes, is for Delta feel faithful to the original Snake Eaterwhile also making sure the game doesn't feel old or clunky.
