In the end, the rumors turned out to be true. After months of speculation and theories, Konami confirmed during the last PlayStation Showcase that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will have a remake. The emotion is palpable, but there are still many doubts surrounding the project.
Of course, the franchise is closely tied to Hideo Kojima, its creator.
