Gameplay
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater will follow the same gameplay as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The game is of the third-person shooter and Stealth Action genres. The gameplay involves Naked Snake (controlled by the player) moving through an enemy (mainly Russian GRU soldiers) filled environment undetected. Such environments include a jungle, a military fortress, and a mountain. The game is open-ended in that the player can take many different approaches to slip past the enemy. This includes many tools and gadgets, such as a cardboard box, night and heat vision goggles, a fake gavial head and binoculars. Many weapons are also included in the game, ranging from handguns to rocket launchers. Core features include the survival viewer, in which Naked Snake can change uniform and face paint for greater concealment, eat food that is procured via killing animals in-game, curing injuries, and equipping weapons. Another feature is called Close Quarters Combat, or CQC, in which the player can grab, throw, knock-out or kill the enemy (mainly Russian GRU soldiers). The game will include updated visuals and a new engine from the original Snake Eater.
