He directed what?  Mercury Steam did the story, they had 6 writers on the game.  Kojima Productions didn't really do much.  I mean they sent some guys over to help with the tech but it was all Mercury Steam. 

Well they had someone run some find and replace on the script to change everything to Castlevania, aparently Kojima decided that the game was too good to be an origonal IP and that it should be a Castlevania game instead. 

Yes, they also stopped development of the game very early to make it Castlevania, it's not documented on how far along the scrip was and I doubt the script had gone anywhere by the time the game was halted to turn it into Castlevania.  they probably just had a prototype for gameplay ready.
