- AI has been massively overhauled, and will feature a tracking system in the outdoor environments, as Snake will leave footprints behind when he walks around. Indoors, the AI will be much like that of Sons of Liberty.
- The story won't jump around. It'll flow continuously from the point you land in the jungle to the end of the game.
- Kojima and his team are currently deciding on the level of tracking the dogs will employ - whether they will stop at the water's edge like in a typical Hollywood action film, or whether they will relentlessly track you, like in real life.
- Kojima has also pointed out that infiltration of the base is up to the player, i.e. the player chooses the way he/she gets into the base. There will be multiple entrances.
- The amount of food you eat won't affect your weight (visually), but it will affect the quality of your aiming, movement speed, etc.
- Control is identical to Sons of Liberty
- The knife is used for cutting away foilage, but can also be used for interrogating enemies. This is done by using the analog buttons - the harder you press the button, the more Snake will dig the knife in, until he slashes the guard's throat.
- The amount of equipment you can carry will be limited, as the game is focused on survival.
- The team is still considering whether or not you can pick ammo and equipment up off guards.
- The codec is gone, but has been replaced by a similar device, which is said to have functions similar to a Pokédex.
- Radar will be optional, but playing without it will help with immersion.
- There will be less cutscenes in general, and they will be interactive, though Kojima has not shed any light on how this will work.
- Kojima says this will "probably" be his last Metal Gear title, though he will continue the series if he feels nobody else is capable of doing so.
- When asked if you could control vehicles, Kojima answered 'Probably....Yes'
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is due for release in 2004, but details are scant, and Konami is keeping its cards close to its chest. PALGN expects to see another trailer at E3 2004 in May, but will have any new details on the game as soon as they are unveiled.
