Whoa, this dude has some visions. This trailer alone is nightmarish and it doesn't even show anything about game play.

Del Toro did speak at length on inSane, a video game he’s developing with THQ and Volition.  Up until pre-production began on Pacific Rim, Del Toro says he was working directly with the developers, “and every week we have a conference [call] where we exchange ideas about the design, the gameplay, about the models.”  He also elaborated about what’s learning about video games as a storytelling medium:
I came to videogame development with a lot of humility because I didn’t want to come in with the attitude of, “Oh I know how to make movies, therefore I know how to make videogames,” which is a big mistake. I came in trying to learn a new medium because I think it’s going to be very useful for me as a storyteller.
With a videogame, you don’t have to solve one screenplay, you have to solve 20 screenplays, because you are giving the player the illusion of free will. If the character kills another character or destroys a building, the game goes one way; if the character doesn’t, it goes another. It keeps you very nimble.
I think that’s the biggest, and the most fun, lesson I’ve been getting. We’re being really, really nasty in the game. We’re really trying a lot of stuff that I don’t think would even fly in the movies. It’s still two-and-a-half or three years away, though, because videogame development is so long.
The announcement trailer (which you can check out below) says the game is due out in 2013, so in two years we’ll be getting a double-dose of Del Toro since Pacific Rim is set for May 10, 2013.

HURRAY VOLITION! BOO THQ!

THQ for me has put out 1 disappointment after another. Hopefully they can do a good job with this.
