Hideo Kojima, like a lot of people, is watching Westworld, and he says some of its theories surrounding the world's design are after his own heart.
On Twitter last night Kojima said: "Watched "Westworld" E2. What Anthony Hopkins said in that story was an exact theory of my game design."

Less than a month after its October 13 release, Sony reported today that PlayStation VR sales are where the company expected them to be.
Speaking during an earnings briefing for the second quarter of 2016 (via GameSpot), Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony's Chief Financial Officer, said sales of the company's new headset are "on track."
While that doesn't specify any specific sales numbers, the President and Chief Executive at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Jim Ryan, told CNBC last month Sony expects to sell "hundreds of thousands" units at launch.
Despite a colleague saying that Project Scorpio will bring an end to console generations, head of Xbox, Phil Spencer has explained that Microsoft does not plan on releasing incrementally upgraded consoles every two years.
"I don't have this desire to every two years have a new console on the shelf", he explained to Game Informer. "That's not part of the console business model, and it doesn't actually help us. The best customer I have is somebody who buys the original Xbox and just buys all the games. That's the best customer for us in terms of the pure financials of it
Players in World of Warships will be able to earn Steven Seagal as an in-game Commander for the next month.
As long as you're at Account Level 10, you need to amass 70,000 XP in Random, Ranked, Team, or Co-op battles. Only then will the actor, producer, director, and martial artist be added to your crew.
Steven Seagal is no stranger to the high seas, of course. Back in 1992 he starred as an ex-Navy SEAL protecting the USS Missouri battleship from Tommy Lee Jones and a group of terrorists in Under Siege, followed by a sequel in 1995.
Here's an excellent excerpt from the press release describing Mr Seagal's addition: "Just think of what you could accomplish with his husky voice; his decades of battle experience; his quiet, confident aura that would echo through the decks of your ship? With Steven at your side, you could become more powerful than you ever thought possible. You could be the next great action hero."
You know how we were all wondering whether that leaked character model of Sombra was the real deal, or a very convincing fake? Yeah, you can probably shelve that argument - we were looking at our next Overwatch (anti-)hero.
Spotted on Reddit, a now-removed piece of art of the new character - who has been the subject of a months-long ARG - had been hosted on Blizzard's merchandise website. It has now been preserved on Imgur (embedded below) - and it matches last month's leak in almost every respect.
An Animal Crossing-themed Nintendo Direct will be broadcast tomorrow, November 2 at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 2pm GMT / 1am AEDT.
The Direct will focus entirely on the upcoming update for the 3DS' Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
We already know the gist of at least some of the announcements after Nintendo teased this Direct in September. The update will primarily add amiibo support to the games, coming alongside the release of 50 new amiibo cards on December 2.
We'll likely see more of Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo edition, a new version of the four year-old game that comes pre-installed with the update, and bundled with an amiibo card.
The third game in the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise is reportedly named Shadow of the Tomb Raider, according to an image posted to Reddit earlier today.
Reddit user Tripleh280 spotted someone on the Montreal subway working on what appears to be a presentation, featuring the logo for a Shadow of the Tomb Raider in the upper right-hand corner.
A source speaking to Kotaku confirmed to the outlet that Shadow of the Tomb Raider is in fact currently the title of what would be the third game in the series, which relaunched with 2013's Tomb Raider.
