In an interview with Toronto Sun, film director Guillermo del Toro revealed not only the AI in Pacific Rim to be an homage to Portal's GlaDOS, but also that he may be closing in on finding a new partner for Insane - the video game concept he was working on with THQ.

"We are in talks with a very, very big company. I can't say who, but it's one of the big ones. They really responded to the game, they responded to what we were trying."

"Some of the devices of the game I need to update, because now I've seen them in other games that just came out. That always happens. But the principle we're trying to do with the game is to make it a really immersive narrative experience. It's still a really challenging proposal."

Insane never entered full production at Volition and THQ, so even if del Toro finds a new partner, it is unlikely we'll see Insane on this generation of consoles.
