Metal Gear Solid Delta’s Guy Savage Easter Egg is a fully remade Platinum Games mini-game 

If you’ve played Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, you’re probably aware of the Guy Savage Easter egg, but this little mini-game is very different to the original in Konami’s new Delta remake. 

In the original game, the Easter Egg was a quick, clunky Devil May Cry-like addition. However, for Delta, Konami has made use of the action game aficionados at Platinum Games to create something much, much better. 

Metal Gear Solid Delia overhauls Guy Savage

In Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, you unlock the Guy Savage mini-game in the exact same way as before. To play the small game, you’ll have to either completing the game once or save and exit the game after the torture scene in Groznyj Grad. If you do the latter, the game should start when you load back in. 

In the new version of the mini-game, Guy Savage is more, well, savage than before. Still armed with his trusty pair of hook swords, combat is now much more refined with modern combos, animations, better effects and more. 

While the mini-game is still rather quaint in comparison to a full action game, what’s here is great. When Konami said they wanted to remake everything – including Ape Escape and the saucy theatre mode – they meant it. 

In our review of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, we thought the remake of the PS2 original was brilliantly done. However, in its extreme faithfulness, Konami has also brought back the worst sections of the game largely untouched. 

“Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is unequivocally the best way to play Metal Gear Solid 3 if you’re all about modern comforts and higher frame rates,” our review reads. “But under all the modernising gloss, it’s the same silly, daft game full of world-saving babble, over-the-top performances, surprise-stuffing, and a confounding script that’s very much a product of its time, for better or for worse.”

Alongside the full remake of everything we love, Konami is also adding a brand-new multiplayer mode called Fox Hunt. Unfortunately, this mode isn’t ready for launch and also won’t support cross-play when it finally does release.
