As much as I am not a fan of Konami over the last decade I've got to be honest and say I would be super excited about a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake.
Castlevania or Silent Hill would also be welcome additions but Snake eater has a special place in my heart and if it was given the remake treatment that some other games as of late have gotten (Re2, FF7, etc...) I and I'm sure many gamers out there would be extremely satisfied.

Not sure how I feel about this if this is being done by a Chinese studio, and it's not because of the studio itself but because of how the Chinese state likes to meddle with contents. MGS3 has a lot of nuances, and some of them might be viewed unfavourably in China.
There should be nothing to fix being a non Chinese game any Chinese censoring would be based on the completed game and only be subject to China, about Konami I understand your concern about Konami adding stuff or making changes to the remake but hopefully they realise that would hurt them.
I would prefer a MGS 1 or 2 remake, but 3 is also OK.
