Steel Gear Stable Delta: Snake Eater is a significant improve over the unique, from graphics to controls to gameplay. Delta would not mess with what folks love about Steel Gear Stable 3, as a substitute delivering a extremely polished model of the unique expertise — and that extends to one in every of MGS3‘s minigames, Man Savage, which has been overhauled by none aside from Steel Gear Rising Revengeance developer PlatinumGames.
Konami and PlatinumGames revealed the latter studio’s involvement in Steel Gear Stable Delta: Snake Eater on Friday, confirming that they had been those behind the overhauled expertise.
Within the unique Steel Gear Stable 3, the Man Savage minigame may very well be accessed by loading a save file whereas Snake is in his cell in Groznyj Grad, after he is been tortured by Colonel Volgin. Snake’s playable nightmare incorporates a character wielding a pair of arm-blades combating gangs of monstrous law enforcement officials who outfitted with hook swords. This is what it regarded like in previous variations of Steel Gear Stable 3.
Snake’s nightmare is about after a chat with the character Para-Medic over comms; she talks to Snake in regards to the character Renfield from Bram Stoker’s Dracula in an try to take his thoughts off the ache he is experiencing, however unexpectedly provides him nightmares.
PlatinumGames’ model of the Man Savage minigame appears to be like fairly totally different.

Man Savage in Steel Gear Stable Delta not solely appears to be like higher than the unique, it performs higher. It has the tight character-action gameplay that Platinum is thought for, even when it is not that deep or substantial. But when Platinum and Konami are testing the waters for a brand new Castlevania recreation, what they’ve proven in Man Savage is an efficient begin. Perhaps after Platinum’s executed with its Ninja Gaiden sequel, it could actually introduce a brand new Belmont clan member.
