Kojima responds to "The Matrix" game version: No one has told about this in 26 years

Yesterday, the media reported that the Wachowski brothers, the directors of "The Matrix", personally invited Hideo Kojima to develop a game version of "The Matrix" at the premiere of "The Matrix" in Japan, but were rejected by the president of Konami who was present.Today, Kojima’s English official tweet officially responded to this matter.

Kojima said that he was surprised that there was such a thing, but no one had ever told him that such a conversation had happened in the past 26 years.Kojima's response is obviously inconsistent with yesterday's report.Yesterday's report mentioned that Kojima was also present at the time.If this conversation did take place, then Kojima should have been informed.

Kojima wrote on the English version of the official Twitter: "I saw on social media that the Wachowski sisters (Editor's note: They were actually brothers at the time, and they had not yet transitioned into women at that time) "invited me to participate in the "Matrix" game project in 1999!"I was very surprised by the news. In 26 years, no one told me that we had such a conversation. At that time, we were both fans of the movie and exchanged emails. "The Matrix" had not yet been released in Japan, but I had already seen it in theaters and preview screenings in the United States.

When the Wachowski brothers came to Japan to promote their movie, I think I met them three times.In the morning, we were interviewed by Famitsu in Shinjuku - that time, Geof Darrow also participated in the interview.In the afternoon, they were invited to the headquarters of KONAMI Consumer Software Division.At that time, I served as the vice president of KCE JAPAN (a wholly owned subsidiary of KONAMI).When I arrived at the headquarters, they had just finished a meeting with Mr. Kitakami, the business unit director.I then joined them and we chatted for about an hour without interpretation (Aki wasn't there either).I remember John Gaeta, the visual effects supervisor, was there.

That night, I attended the premiere and party, where I also met Joel Silver.Even so, he didn't mention any invitation at the time.I was busy with Metal Gear Solid 2 at the time and might not be able to accept the invitation right away.But if someone told me, there might be a way around it."

When Twitter users saw Xiaodao calling her "sister", the comment section was really upset:
