Besides the above games, Konami is also releasing a remake of ‘Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater’ known as ‘Metal Gear Solid Delta (Δ): Snake Eater.’ The events of this remake are also set to happen in 1964. So I would suggest you play the Metal Gear Solid Delta (remake) instead of the original because of the graphics and other elements.
