I was just checking Hideo Kojimas twitter, and that made me chuckle :D
And to make this thread worthy, here's a couple of statements for the drastic change of Metal Gear Solid: Rising
Reason for name change:
"One of the reasons changing the title from "Metal Gear Solid Rising" to "Metal Gear Rising" was that I wanted them to create new protagonist Raiden, not SOLID without been haunted by the spin-off."
Reasons for change of art direction:
"Rebirth of "RISING". You may have felt "the coloring and atmosphere seems not Metal". The old RISING developed by Koji Pro back then had to have the Metal look and complicated control in 30 frames. My only favor i had to Platinum was "cool Raiden who moves without awkward feeling in 60 frames"."
