Fans are digging into the files of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and have discovered the game has a lot of data from the original 2004 game just sitting there.

If there's one thing to say about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, it's that it's extremely faithful. We're talking, the guards still give you codes for Metal Gear Acid on the PSP levels of faithfulness. And while that was very much the intention from Konami, it's inspired comments about what a remake really is when games like Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill 2 feel like reimaginings, while Metal Gear has more in line with Oblivion Remastered and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
