Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will feature two different control styles, but players won’t be able to freely switch between them.
That’s because the difficulty of the game will be altered to match the control style.
The game’s producers Noriaki Okamura and Yuji Korekado were interviewed by Famitsu and discussed some of the new additions in this remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
The Legacy Style will mimic the original game with a top-down view and traditional controls, while the New Style will switch to a third-person perspective with modernised controls.
However, the development team found the difficulty level drastically changed depending on the chosen style – in particular the New Style has a wider field of view and allows Snake to shoot while moving, which made the game much easier to play.
