I always dreamed of MGS3 getting remastered or remade in a better engine (FOX engine would have been ideal) so to see just that happen with Delta, it's literally a dream come true. Despite the game receiving a beautiful new coat of paint, controls and quality of life features, it still feels like the same game as before which is by no means a bad thing since the original game is still great fun to play, it just shows its age. If you have played the original game, then you already know what's up but don't let that stop you from buying this lovingly remade game because, in my heavily biased opinion, it's well worth the money.
While it still may be the same game, the story, setting, and characters are still as amazing as I remember them being back when I played the hell out of the 360 version. Hunting for the Kerotans and the new Ga-ko's is pretty enjoyable since the game will tell you how many more you have left to find and if you found the ones on the current area in the pause menu. It's the little quality of life additions like that that just make me 10x more appreciative of Konami than I already am right now. I'd argue that this game improves on pretty much everything the original game had like seamlessly changing camos without needing to pause the game and go into a separate menu and first person as a whole. You can actually walk and aim in first person which doesn't seem like much but you weren't able to do that until Peace Walker which is kinda baffling to me.
The only gripes I have with the game is that some cutscenes are choppy in their quality with some dipping in frames but other than that and one crash, I haven't had any problems with the game. Locking it to 60 fps is a bit of strange move but I personally don't think it's as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.
TL:DR, if you love MGS3 as much as I do, then get this game and if you're new to the MGS series, then get this game. It's a beautifully done job on Konami's part to remake a beloved game like this instead of whatever the hell survive was and the pachinko port of this game.

KONAMI!! REMAKE PEACE WALKER, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!
