THQ's core games boss, Danny Bilson has been talking about the new project that their studio is working on with film director Guillermo Del Toro.

Bilson emphasised that Del Toro was doing much more than just lending his name to the InSane series that Volition are developing.

He began: "[Del Toro is] a hardcore gamer, he's passionate about bringing some new thrills to gaming, hes completely engaged with myself, Paul DeMeo head of our writing team at and the guys at Volition who are making the game. He's already been out there [in Canada, to Volition's studio]. We just got through the fiction flow of the game just before [Christmas]. He was in every meeting, he sat there all day long kicking stuff around. He's funny as hell, a huge fan of games; he's just like the rest of us. Hes not going anywhere."

Bilson added: "If he were here now, he'd tell you: 'I do not want to be one of those film-makers who puts my name on something and doesnt do the work.' Is Del Toro a great game director? Hopefully we have the skills to filter his talent into that. He will learn tons [on the first game], and then on the second InSane he'll be even more opinionated because hell know more things to poke at. Rest assured, this is a Guillermo Del Toro game for sure."

The first installment of the InSane series is due out in 2013 with the series expected to last 10 years.

Thanks VG247.
