Have you done research on how well-received each game in the franchise was, and how that correlated with who was developing it?
As Googl said, Team Silent (From Japan) has developed the first four installment, and save for the fourth one, they are all very highly praised.
4 was still received pretty well, critically - and a lot of the fan base seems to have warmed up to it over the years. Shattered Memories, one of the non-Japanese titles got even better reception.
I won't deny, Shattered Memories aside, that the series has had a quality issue since 4. But that definitely has more to do with Konami themselves treating the series as a cheap cash-in.
If this new one is great it's not going to be just because of some Japanese magic. It's going to be because Konami is giving it the proper resources since Kojima agreed to attach himself to it.
