Critically acclaimed movie direct Guillermo Del Toro<\/a> has generated a lot of excitement since announcing the development of his survival horror game, Insane.<\/p>\n

So what would you expect from the mind of the director that spawned such horrific, mind-bending fantasies such as Pan\u2019s Labyrinth? A honed and crafted storyline, a chilling atmosphere, lengthy, superbly directed cutscenes?<\/p>\n

While the story and the atmosphere should no doubt be a home run, don\u2019t expect any long cutscenes. Why? Because \u201cI\u2019m not watching a movie, f***k you. I want a game.\u201d These are the words spoken by Del Toro in an audio interview with Ken Levine (not THAT Ken Levine<\/a>), in which he expresses, as a gamer, his hatred of cutscenes.<\/p>\n

“I’m a gamer, my daughters are gamers, we spend countless hours in the game universe … You know what kind of gamer I am? When we come to a cinematic, I jump it. I go ‘I’m not watching a movie, f*** you’. I want a game. You can selectively take control away from the gamer for a few seconds but don’t render him inactive. Give him something to do, but don’t f****** say, ‘And now a word from our sponsor’.”<\/p>\n

Whatever assumptions we may have about a movie director making a game can safely be tossed out the window then \u2013 Del Toro clearly has his own, unique vision. We\u2019re yet to receive any kind of release date, but the general word is that it\u2019s going to be a couple of years.<\/p>\n
