Playtests and beta access for Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater
What has opened up so far, and how testers got in.
Highlights
Tutorial skips a step, easy to miss the parry
The tutorial moves on before it explains the parry timing. I only found it by accident twenty minutes later. Easy fix, but new players will miss it.

Controller input lag on the menu, not in-game
Menu navigation with a controller has noticeable input lag, maybe 150ms. In-game input is fine, so it looks like it is the menu layer only. Mouse in the same menu is instant.

Does controller support work on Linux?
Anyone tested this on Linux with a controller? Wondering whether it works out of the box or needs a workaround.

Earn your seat in the next test
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is out, and that is what makes it worth covering: you can play it tonight, and what you write goes on your tester profile.
- It counts. Reports build the profile we read when a studio asks us for testers. An empty profile is why most applications go nowhere.
- First in line. Cover Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater and you hear about its next playtest before it shows up on this page.
- Two minutes is enough. One bug, one performance note, one honest paragraph. That is the kind of thing a developer can act on.
