Glad we got Silent Hill back as actual games (not skateboards, nft shit, ect), but now also need metal gear and castlevania

No. If OG devs are gone the game is dead.

Couldn't Forever Entertainment or someone enter a co-publishing/development deal like with Sega?

How can a company expect to survive on $330 million in profit.

Since when Sony has moved the operating “brain” of PlayStation to North America in 2016, the company no longer grants the same freedom to developers as happened roughly thirty years ago: initially the PlayStation version of "Devil May Cry 5" had the Trish's glutes censored by a purple light, and even today the only integral physical version for "Doki Doki Literature Club!" is only on Nintendo Switch, so if Konami to join Sony would only be a step backward creatively.

Yeah, I imagine linear MGS games with lots of climbing and squeezing through cracks with nice closeups of Snake's deliciously rendered butt is exactly what fans want. Just like Silent Hill games with a sidekick spoiling the solution of every puzzle for you before you can even read a hint.

No I’m not suggesting that it is easy, I am suggesting that Sony is giving gamers what they want and they make a ton of money of it. It’s not easy, it take a lot of resources and effort, but if you want to succeed, you will have to put the effort. Otherwise, close your gaming division or concentrate on indie games etc.
You are suggesting that they won’t do good games because it’s hard.

Konami is not a company that will start from scratch. They have fox engine, they had a good gaming division with AAA games like MGS and Silent Hill.

I'm suggesting that it isn't easy to do a 180 here. They left AAA gaming and it's just not easy to jump back into it.
There is a reason why Bloober team is doing Silent Hill 2 .
For reference, they're not great, but hopefully, the ability to make a quality remake isn't bigger than them.
You want Metal Gear? What team can do it? Virtuous is rumored to be involved, but I hope their involvement is limited.
Isn't that largely because the PS3 wiped out all their PS1 and PS2 profits?

I am convinced that Bluepoint is doing something with the seriesI'm suggesting that it isn't easy to do a 180 here. They left AAA gaming and it's just not easy to jump back into it.

They really haven't done anything to build new IP like Capcom did with Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, Lost Planet, e.t.c.
