Kojima is a "boost" to Castlevania
Speaking to gaming mag PSM3, Castlevania: Lord of Shadow producer Dave Cox has stated that Hideo Kojima "brought experience and wisdom to the project."
"Frankly, the game wouldn't be as good without him. On a technical level, they've helped us with many things - with Gabriel and facial animation, design and more. I get videos from them highlighting issues, and that's really useful."
However, no matter how successful Kojima has been in the past, he still feels as though he can learn.
"The most surprising thing Kojima told me was that he felt Mercury Steam could teach them some things about game development.
"That's typical of Mr. Kojima; he's generous and he's always looking at ways to improve what he does. Having someone of his calibre helping is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that the Castlevania team is truly grateful for."
Castlevania: Lord of Shadow is set for release on XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 later this year.
