News Metal Gear Solid Delta PS5 Won't Be 'a Hideo Kojima Game'

[admin]

​

In sad news for fans of Hideo Kojima's schtick, it appears that the faithful remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, will not be "a Hideo Kojima game." By that, we mean the grandiose, somewhat narcissistic title card fans have come to expect at the game's opening will now instead read "based on Metal Gear Solid 3," which doesn't really hit the same.

Word comes to us by way of GamesRadar+, who have been keeping tabs on the Metal Gear Production Hotline series, and in the second episode, producer Noriaki Okamura explains. While the team has done its utmost to retain the spirit of the original, one notable exception will be the removal of the Kojima title card. Okamura says there is nothing sinister to this and is, in fact, established Konami precedent:

"It's always been the case that games Mr Kojima didn't personally direct don't have 'a Hideo Kojima game'. So for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, we decided it just made sense to follow that precedent."

So there you have it. Will you miss the title card for "a Hideo Kojima game" in Metal Gear Solid Delta? Think back fondly to the way things used to be in the comments section below.
