inSane trilogy game rights held by THQ, del Toro keeps movie rights
24
Wanna hear something crazy? Guillermo del Toro's inSane game project is gonna be a trilogy. Of course, that lengthy proposal, as documented by THQ, will still be bound by reason -- at least, by the reasonable success of the "first chapter in the series," due in 2013. (Remember how that Too Human "trilogy" started ... and stalled?)
"With this new series of video games, I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single action makes them question their own senses of morality and reality," said a confident del Toro as if narrating atop the mysterious and positively creepy teaser (embedded after the break). "THQ and Volition, Inc. are equally excited to make this vision of a completely new game universe into a reality."
Not only excited, THQ is heavily invested in what it's dubbed "an original trilogy of triple-A games." The publisher will retain the intellectual property rights to the inSane games, while del Toro holds the rights to any associated "filmed entertainment" projects. It sounds like our sanity could be tested. A lot.

Games that are never going to come out should be exclusive to the Panasonic Jungle. I bet it's gonna cost an infillion dollars to develop these.

Too Human is exactly what came to my mind.
I love the audacity of the marketing machine, and the insurmountable obstacles it creates.

It hasn't been stated when in 2013 it's coming out, it could well be Nov/Dec 2013. And secondly, one year? really? Might want to check your math on that.

Violition have made nothing but 3rd person games for over 10 years now... So I'd guess this'll be more of the same.

The logo looks like a direct rip off of the inFamous logo.
It's the exact same font stylised in the exact same way.
That's not cool.

kind of like how the first font used for the playstation 3 that was all over the game boxes and the console itself was the exact same font used for the spider-man movies?

Ok so I hate watching movies with a language I dont understand and need subtitles. Gonna be hard to play a game while reading the subtitles to even try to understand whats goin on. Oh and apparently THQ and Del Torro dont realize the Earth ends in 2012, talk about a misstep.

"Oh and apparently THQ and Del Torro dont realize the Earth ends in 2012, talk about a misstep." -- yeah, according to a non-English speaking culture, so what would it matter to you? if the apocalypse comes in 2012, it's not like you'll understand it.
