I love Guillermo del Toro. He made The Devil's Backbone. He made Hellboy. He made Pan's Labyrinth. And now he's making games. Here's what del Toro said to MTV News:
"One of the things we're announcing in the next few weeks is a big deal with a big company. We're going to do games that are going to be technically and narratively very interesting. It's not a development deal. We're going to do it. We're doing them. And we're going to announce it soon enough."
Consider that the announcement of the upcoming announcement, then. Obviously, we will let you know the moment del Toro makes his big announcement, but until then, it's all speculation.
I wonder if del Toro can do it. Game developers always think they could make great movies, and directors always think they could make great games, yet this is often not the case. Hopefully, del Toro surrounds himself with competent, talented people that no the game "space" and comes up with a winning title or two.
God, I hope so. The game industry is so full of re-hashes and sequels, it would be nice to see the product of a true visionary like del Toro on a console or PC.

If Del Toro teams up with the right development crew and programmers, we'll see some absolutely WICKED games....and I MEAN WICKED!!!!!

Sweet news, Del Toro is truely one of the few visionary directors out there nowadays along with Nolan

Hellboy 2 was actually really good, especially the creature design. I hope he can develop something very fun and interesting.

This would be sweet, and have to say Stephen that it is know not no. Proof read. Back on track, with Del Toro's mind and great talent for game creation around him, we could see some great games. Here's hoping.

This is good. This is very good. He will bring more fine story driven experiences to us gamers. I really need a break from this whole MP phase and need to be brought back to my PS2 days when all my games were single player campaigns.I feel like he'll be in the horror survival genre which is a perfect fit for him but would be nice to see something else, like Uncharted epciness.

Wicked! I love his creatures and stories. I can't wait to see a "technically and narratively...interesting" game from his mind! ^_^
