EDGE: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D looks better than the HD version

February 19th, 2012 Posted in 3DS, News, Posted by Valay

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D’s visuals have gotten a lot of flack ever since Konami shared the first screenshots and footage of the game. Fans criticized its seemingly textures, poor frame rate, and overall disappointing graphics.

In the end, it seems that Kojima Productions was able to pull things together. Details have started to emerge from EDGE’s review of Snake Eater 3D, and the magazine was apparently more than impressed with the studio’s work on the title’s visuals. EDGE went as far as to say that “the HD update doesn’t look as good as this portable treatment.”

EDGE wrote in its review:

“Packed with detail, both in terms of it’s environments and mechanics, this is a game that pays back investment in spades. MGS3 is a moden classic – the tighest, smartest and most emotional journey in the series – and even the HD update doesn’t look as good as this portable treatment.”

EDGE gave Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D an 8/10. You can find more scores from the magazine’s latest issue here.

    Anyone who has played the demo can easily see this to be fact; the PS2 version is blurry and unattractive by today’s standard, and the HD versions are simply up-scaled versions of the PS2 version. It’s obvious that the 3DS iteration is re-textured and received a significant facelift (as opposed to a simple bump in resolution) and anyone who says otherwise is delusional and living in a the sweaty stink of nostalgia.

    As expected after playing the demo.

    Screenshots just don’t really do the game any justice.
