Is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami's second attempt at breathing life into MGS in the absence of Hideo Kojima, good? How does it stack up against Twin Snakes, the first attempt at remaking MGS that actually featured the creator's involvement?
Nowadays, we see Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes as a ridiculously campy remake that made terrible gameplay choices, but that hasn't always been the case. Twin Snakes actually got great reviews when it came out back in '04, and only began getting backlash later. Delta is currently doing well among critics—exactly as well as Twin Snakes, in fact—but all remakes should expect a degree of backlash, especially those of such high profile. So, which remake was better at the time of release, and which one is more likely to withstand the test of time?
