▼
Metal Gear Rising was originally developed as an open world game set in the time period between Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4. Hampered by their own preconceptions about what a Metal Gear game should be like, and given little direction by Hideo Kojima, the team assigned to the project was struggling to make a coherent game due to the different directions the developers thought they should take. Eventually, Kojima asked Platinum Games to develop the game. Platinum became the game's developer, but the game's cutscenes, story, and setting were still heavily supervised by Kojima Productions.

Yasumi Matsuno was driven to make Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, as he wanted to create a game that dealt with war and its effects in a realistic way by the 1990s civil war in Yugoslavia, which lasted for four years and introduced the term "ethnic cleansing" to the world.

Attachment The Secret Cow Level was created after rumors spread online of a "Secret Cow Level" being available in the original Diablo. Of course, these rumors were false, but it is believed that the inclusion of such a level in Diablo II was to appeal to fans of the series. Blizzard has since made many references to the phrase "there is no Cow level" in their other games.

Alias Toufexis, voice actor for Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, stated that he was originally the voice of Jason Brody. He worked on the role for 2 years, but after Deus Ex: Human Revolution was released during Far Cry 3's development, he was replaced. This was allegedly because the developers were nervous that anybody playing Far Cry 3 would think about Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Alias Toufexis has also said that he found this dismissal to be justified and understandable.
