When the Steel Gear Strong 3 remake was revealed again in Could, all we acquired had been some photographs of a swamp and Bare Snake popping out of the water. A brand new trailer that debuted at the moment throughout the newest Xbox mini-showcase lastly provides us a have a look at the sport in motion, if solely briefly. And you already know what? It appears to be like actually good.
The remake will take the 2004 PlayStation 2 sport and overhaul it in Unreal Engine 5. Whereas that might run the danger of drastically altering the fashion and really feel of the unique Fox Engine model of the stealth motion sport, Snake’s environmental sneaking and silent takedowns look as characteristically Steel Gear as ever, and the graphics look approach higher.
Right here’s the brand new trailer:
The “first in-engine look” begins with Bare Snake trudging by means of a muddy river subsequent to a crocodile. Later we see him crouching close to some tall grass because the mud flicks off his garments and boots. From there we see him aiming a pistol, climbing throughout a cliff, grabbing a man from behind, and plenty and plenty of glimpses of wildlife. As some followers famous, the brand new footage seems to substantiate that Snake can lastly transfer whereas crouching, in contrast to within the unique sport.
The sooner reveal trailer had the potential to be largely smoke and mirrors, however now this complete venture is trying much more promising and actual. We nonetheless don’t have a agency launch date but, or a transparent concept of precisely who at Konami is engaged on it. Singaore-based artwork and outsource growth studio Virtuos helps with manufacturing. Konami additionally confirmed the remake will use the unique voice performances, however that unique director Hideo Kojima and unique artist Yoji Shinkawa are usually not concerned in any approach.
The corporate mentioned it needed to begin with remaking Steel Gear Strong 3 because it’s the origin story for Massive Boss. If all goes will, it may imply we’ll finally get Unreal Engine remakes of Steel Gear Strong 1 and 2 as effectively. All three video games can at present be performed on the brand new Steel Gear Strong: Grasp Assortment, although the remaster anthology leaves a lot to be desired.
