It's likely a murky situation, legally, but the legal issue probably isn't even the biggest hurdle. They would have to start development of the game from scratch, first of all, and a game of this nature would not be cheap, so they'd have to find another big-time publisher somewhere willing to drop some serious cash on a horror game that would be carried solely on the name recognition of Kojima [since using the Silent Hill brand is out]. You could probably count on one hand the number of publishers who would even pretend to be interested in that.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
