MGS3 is being remade as Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

After years of rumors, the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake has finally been officially announced with the name Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, during today's PlayStation Showcase (May 24).  

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was released all the way back in 2004, 

The teaser trailer, which has an actual snake being eaten and barely a glimpse of our leading man, is below. You'll want to watch it because it has a few nods for fans who know where to look. 

There's a few cool moments in the trailers for fans. The trailer starts with a green parrot grabbing a tree frog and carrying it into the sky. Behind it, you can see the Shagohod, which functions as MGS3's own version of the Metal Gear. That green parrot? Probably the pet of ancient sniper The End, who used a green parrot as his spotter. 

There's more in there, but rather than digging through it like a conspiracy theory, lets just talk more about Metal Gear Solid 3: the 60s set stealth adventure has Naked Snake, a younger Big Boss, on a mission against the KGB. Lots of features in Metal Gear Solid 3 were ahead of their time like the camoflage system, the need to prepare food and eat and even the complex healing system. It'll be interesting to see how these systems are reinterpreted for the new game. 

For the remake, it seems Konami are taking care of development themselves. They passed development of the Silent Hill 2 remake off to horror buffs Bloober Team. 

After this, the trailer also revealed a Metal Gear Solid remaster collection that is coming in autumn 2023, featuring Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3. The collection is subtitled "Volume 1" leaving hope that we could be getting a current-gen release of titles like Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Acid or even Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker if Konami decides to pull together a Volume 2. 

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. No release date has been announced. 

Elsewhere, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 got a full reveal, showing off new villain Kraven the Hunter and a symbiote-infected Peter Parker.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
