Del Toro has often spoken about the artistic merits of video games. Last year he told MTV that ThatVideoGameCompany's Flower is "like Haiku poetry". He also spoke to Wired last year that "in the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games."
The movies that del Toro have worked on feature a distinct style to his CGI. The director of both Hellboy films and the oscar-winning Pan's Labyrinth recently backed out of directing an adaptation of The Hobbit.
The CG style of del Toro's would translate well into games, but there is much more information needed before anybody should get too excited. For example: who is this "big company" that he's going to be working with? And, more importantly, what specific developers will he be working with? A good development team can mean life or death on a project; especially when it comes to translating an artistic vision from someone who doesn't know how to create for the medium.Look back here for more information about del Toro's project with he announces it.
