That's good, but... They need to understand, and I genuinely don't mean to be an asshole here, their confidence in it, means absolutely nothing. To no one but them.
When Hideaki Itsuno went out there to announce Devil May Cry 5, confident and excited saying that it was one of (or the, I don't remember) best games he ever made, everyone bought it, and became even more confident in it.
Because Capcom name was on it, and most importantly, Itsuno arguably hasn't made a single bad game in his career. I only need to say Power Stone, Capcom vs SNK 2, Devil May Cry 3, and Rival Schools, and that tells you enough about his talent as a director and game developer.
Silent Hill 2 Remake on the other hand, has Konami's name on it, and say what you will about Capcom, you will be correct about all of it. But Capcom has a WAY better reputation and trackrecord then Konami.
And Bloober Team is known for arguably mediocre to "just" good games.
Also the one attempt they had at making a game that was going for a Silent Hill "vibe" (The Medium), was arguably really bad, and tone deaf about very sensitive issues.
Again, they are confident in it, that's better then not being confident. But they have a lot to prove. And most of the blame lies with Konami.
