Bluepoint's next project is a "re-envisioning"

At GDC 2019, Bluepoint ever so slightly hinted on what they're working on next by framing it as a "re-envisioning" vs a remake like they have done with Shadow of the Colossus.

Also their remastering/remaking process is detailed in the slides below.

It's already troubling enough dealing with the terms "reboot/remake/remaster" together. What would a re-envisioning even mean if you're still using an already existing product as a base?

if it's metal gear solid i'm gonna die

i think something like the OG deus ex would be even better but that's not going to happen so i just hope it's metal gear solid

That quote makes no sense. They consider their remaster of Shadow of the Colossus a remake, and...they also made a separate remake of the game?

So...what exactly is their new project, then?

Metal Gear 1 seems to be more likely.
If they're describing it as a "Re-envisioning", it's probably going to be exceptionally different, and Metal Gear 1, with it's ties to the later games being pretty vague (Not to mention MGSV practically ending where that game starts, with added retcons that need to be smoothed over..) is exactly the sort of game that deserves to be completely redone.

Something like Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes I guess? A remake that adds new stuff and updates the rest. Yakuza Kiwami would be another example I suppose, it's a bit more than a remake, but not new.

Something akin to Ratchet and Clank PS4. They messed around with the content even though it was all based on the original game.

The problem with it being a MGS re-imagining is what exactly has Konami done as of late that makes anyone think that they're going to put AAA money into a game? They're making small games like Bomberman or just re-releasing their old classics.

Re-envisioning sounds bold, and also like a can of worms. A Twin Snakes situation is not ideal, for example.

I am really surprised that Square Enix was smart enough to give the FF7 Remake over to Bluepoint. it's not like them to admit defeat like that, but Bluepoint really is a much better option than developing it in-house if they want to get it out within the next five years.

They consider Shadow of the Colossus on PS4 a remake is what they're saying. Some would consider it a remaster.

The distinction between port/remaster/remake can shift based on the person. What they're talking about for their new project is probably what others would also consider a remake (something like the recent Ratchet and Clank, or Resident Evil 2).
