Hollywood writer and director Gullermo del Toro has seen success in film as well as television. He has previously tried to get involved in video games as well, but in some comments he made several weeks ago, but are only coming out now, he says he\u2019s done with games.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Shacknews<\/a> during SDCC del Toro was asked what his ambition was in the game space. His response speaks volumes.<\/p>\n

I have proven to be the albatross of video games, I joined THQ, and THQ goes broke. I join Kojima, and Kojima leaves Konami. I have decided, in order not to destroy anyone else\u2019s life, I have decided I will never again get involved in video games. Otherwise, I\u2019ll join someone and his house will explode, or something.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His comments are certainly said with humor but in a follow up he reiterates that while he\u2019s very happy of the work he did, and what he learned from it, that he\u2019s not interested in getting involved in video games further.<\/p>\n

This says a lot about the video game development process, and none of it is good.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that del Toro\u2019s project with THQ, 2012\u2019s Insane<\/em> died when THQ decalred bankruptcy. Much has been said about Konami ending their relationship<\/a> with Hideo Kojima, killing P.T.<\/em> ve Silent Hills<\/em> in the process. But it\u2019s not like del Toro hasn\u2019t had to deal with this sort of thing before.<\/p>\n

Look up, At The Mountains of Madness<\/em>, it\u2019s the H.P. Lovecraft story that del Toro has wanted to make a film of since 2006. The project is as close to dead as any project ever is in Hollywood. Ask del Toro or Ron Perlman about their desire to make Hellboy 3<\/em>. They want to do it. Both previous films made money. There\u2019s been no movement. Justice League: Dark<\/em>? The movie may happen one day, but not with del Toro anymore. The list goes on.<\/p>\n

Ideas die everyday in the movie world and del Toro\u2019s seem to die more than most, usually because he has very grand ambitions, but he hasn\u2019t quit making movies. So what the hell has turned him off from games so hard and so fast?<\/p>\n

If a guy like del Toro, who is so used to seeing his ideas not work out is done with games it says something about the industry that the industry needs to take note of.<\/p>\n

Video games can only benefit from creative voices like his. It\u2019s the beating of a dead horse at this point but games need all the help they can get. We need new and interesting ideas. We need people to try things that don\u2019t end up working out because only then will we know what doesn\u2019t work, and that failed idea might inspire somebody else to try something that does work.<\/p>\n

If Guillermo del Toro throws up his hands and says, “screw it” how many others are doing the same?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
