Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content found in the original Metal Gear Solid 3, including the notorious Peep Demo Theatre, as confirmed by an age rating.
Although developer Konami has not officially announced the inclusion of this controversial content, the U.S. classification board ESRB has rated the stealth action game as Mature 17+. This rating is attributed to the game's realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and "suggestive/sexual content."
In addition to highlighting the game's realistic combat and violence, the ESRB provides specific examples: "Cutscenes depict further instances of violence/blood: a restrained character beaten and electrocuted; a character shot in the eye; a character on fire shot several times."
"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 an unlockable feature in the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of Metal Gear Solid 3. It allows players to control the camera and zoom in on Eva during a specific cutscene where she appears in her underwear. This feature becomes available after completing the game four times.
Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released on August 28, and a new teaser trailer also revealed the return of the Snake vs. Monkey minigame.
In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN noted that the game feels more like a highly polished HD remaster rather than the refined remake it could have been. "It’s an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault," the review stated. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive 9.6 rating from us.
