I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. Konami is obviously involved since they own the IP, but so far what we've seen and heard seems to indicate they're staying out of it.

The Producer is Noriaki Okamura and, while he does have Metal Gear Survive to account for, he also worked on several Metal Gear games with Kojima, including Metal Gear Solid V, Zone of the Enders, and Policenauts.

The Creative Producer is Yuji Korekado and he's worked on nearly every Metal Gear game over the years under Kojima.

It's being handled by legacy Metal Gear lead developers that worked with Kojima before, not an entirely different team remastering something they have no experience with.

As great as Kojima is, he can get in his own way sometimes. I don't think he would be good at making a faithful remaster, it would turn into something completely different by the end. He's much more about pushing boundaries in storytelling, not adapting already told stories, even if it is his own just being retold.
