The team behind Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater had one goal in mind when developing the recent remake of the series' most beloved game. "The biggest opportunity here was reaching a new audience," producer Noriaki Okamura told Inverse last month. In that way, Konami succeeded: the faithful-to-a-fault remake is the same generational game from over 20 years ago, built to be easier on the eyes and hands for contemporary players. And just three weeks after launch, the game has sold over a million copies so far, according to Konami.
