Kono was in Assault Horizon mode at that point; he was dead-set on proving that the series can remake itself and that it can be relevant and modern. Obviously, they didn't do it so well, since they were modeling their stuff after Call of Duty, but I feel for Project Aces because they sincerely thought they would do the series right. So I'm not surprised that Kono dismissed a PS2 trilogy remake back then.

But then there's that guy who went to Kono in person at a convention and showed him a possible cover for a PS3 game with all three PS2 games remastered in it, and Kono was surprised and delighted to see it, with ideas.
