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 confirmed by an age rating from the ESRB. The game has been rated Mature 17+ due to its realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and the inclusion of "suggestive/sexual content."
The ESRB's detailed report highlights the game's realistic combat and violence, noting scenes such as "a restrained character beaten and electrocuted; a character shot in the eye; a character on fire shot several times." Additionally, the report specifies the suggestive elements: "The game contains some suggestive/sexual content: a man groping a woman's breasts; close-up camera angles of deep cleavage; a character briefly groping a man's crotch; a Peep Demo Theatre allowing players to view cutscenes of a female character's body from a first-person perspective."
The Peep Demo Theatre is a notable feature from the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, unlocked by playing through the game four times. It allows players to move the camera and zoom in during a cutscene featuring Eva in her underwear.
Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater releases on August 28. Alongside this announcement, a new teaser trailer revealed the Snake vs. Monkey minigame is similarly making a comeback.
In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN remarked that the game "seems more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." The preview highlights the game's new first-person perspective and describes it as "an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault." The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from IGN.
