Konami has revealed that one of the reasons it greenlit the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is because younger gamers aren’t familiar with the series anymore.Speaking to Play and shared by GamesRadar, series producer Noriaki Okamura admitted Konami is looking to capture a new audience with the remake,

There's lots of reasons to remake a game, but for Konami, its choice to make Metal Gear Solid Delta comes from a concern about young people.

There's a whole generation of video game fans that don't know very much about Metal Gear Solid, and that's partly why we are getting a remake.

Okamura explained once again that they chose to start with a Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake because it’s the chronological first game in the series. So yes, they intend to unmoor the remakes from the odd quirks of the original, because there’s no need to confuse them.

Snake Eater, and its release can't come soon enough. With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, one of the greatest games of all time is getting a pretty great remake!
