Exclusive: Arnold's Voice in a New Predator Game! (http://www.thearnoldfans.com/news/2020/3/12/exclusive-arnolds-voice-in-a-new-predator-game.html)
QuoteHere's what he said when asked if he watches his own movies when they're on TV:
Arnold: The other day Predator came on, and I said to my girlfriend, "Let's watch the beginning." And we ended up watching the whole thing because it still held up today. Other movies don't hold up, but movies like Predator and the first Terminator really hold up, and it was really fun to watch. Interesting enough, a week later I was asked to do some voice-over for a video game that is coming out about Predator. So it was great that I watched it to get back in that mood again to do the voice-over.
No clarification on if he was referring to Hunting Grounds, or something else we don't know about. Personally, I think it's Hunting Grounds. I'm trying to find out more.
Wow, that's really cool if that's the case! Unless they're adding new content to that Predator VR game it'd have to be this.
Wonder why he said yes to doing some voice over work here but not in MK 11 though? Maybe this one is just going to be less work?
Either way, very cool indeed!
Predator Hunting Ground's Tommy Jarvis confirmed?
HOT!

Please. Playing like Dutch in a game is something so unbelievable it never crossed my mind as a possibility during all these years.
This would be pretty darn cool. However based on the timing of this interview and the release of the game I find it unlikely approach him a few weeks before the release of the game, given that this isn´t for some DLC in the future.

I don't pretend to have an inside track on any of this, but I've listened to Arnold long enough that "the other day" can literally be months & months ago.
I can imagine a launch trailer for P:HG where at its end the old Dutch shouts at you from arriving helicopter his famous line.
It be cool if he came with special abilities.
I hope it going be better than the Nes version
I read all of that in Arnold's voice.
Let's hope it's not just for a trailer to sell more copies. I wanna see this in-game.

Part of me wants to see Arnold in the Predator Killer.
Wild to me he couldn't come back for the movies and even refused to voice the T-800 for Mortal Kombat but he came back for some Predator voice-over. I'm just glad he's back but I'm amused he came back for (presumably) Hunting Grounds.
If they have any single-player I wonder if we could see ourselves playing as Dutch. They did model the 87 Predator and they modeled painless. Makes me wonder if any sort of single-player would be built around the film seeing as they would already have the jungle.
Consider this though the game takes place in the present day so he won't be in the story mode unless it is him in present day....which should intrigue.

Yes, they did them because they a part of the license. Although to make actors' likenesses, they need to have separate contracts with them.

That is why I suggested that he is old i.e. his 3D model in a helicopter.
Hunting grounds takes some story points from The Predator. If Dutch Is in the game, it might have something to do with operation Stargazer. That could be the explanation for his return.
My assumption is that it'd be like an 87 Predator game mode where Arnold could be present to voice his own character seeing as Jungle Hunter and even old Painless are in the game. You'd have access to a jungle map as well and Self-destruct is also a game mechanic. So an intro-mission or a single player bit of content based on the original film would make sense. There's of course a helicopter and Human bad guys to shoot at which could be re-skinned to be the guys from the original.
While of course not affiliated, Frontier did something like this with Jurassic World:Evolution where they had elements of the 93 park which taught the player how to play the game originally. Later on they released a full Jurassic Park expansion, something like this could be happening here. You'd have content available based on the original film even if you couldn't get Arnold. We also know Jungle Hunter was modeled first so perhaps something they went with. There would be an opening based on the original film or that DLC would come out using these elements. I think they wanted to do single-player and they have assets and mechanics which seems like it would lend itself to single-player or an 87 themed mode that would primarily rely on Arnold.

No, it was a MP game from the beginning as Illfonic has only experience in those type of games. They said it themselves in one of the interviews. Also a SP campaign would require more funds and time than MP.

It be awesome to have arnold grill each comrade during the waiting room area before a game begins ....each time you die, you get taken back to the bench so to speak.
Predator Killer? You mean the Franchise Killer.

Another possibility is audio logs, like the Pamela and Tommy tapes in F13. Maybe this one will have "Dutch's debrief" tapes or something.
I bet Disney Owning the predator film rights makes Arnie excited about Predator again$$$$$$$$$$$$
Hi. Part of me want to see Arnold poop on the predator ( suit ) killer......and in of course ......
And thank you very much Arnold to refused to play in that crap .... Good choice ....and of course F..k Disney
Regards A huge Predator fan

Or as a Predator you can use a voice mimicry to mock the fireteam e.g. 'Do it! Come on! Kill me! I am here!', 'Stick around'.
If Arnold is a playable character, then everyone and their iguana is gonna play as him.
Wow Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing voice work for this 8-bit PREDATOR game?

I know making new games for retro videogame consoles are pushing the consoles of yesteryear to the limits on graphics is easily done. But sound?

Word.
Actually it's amazing. For a while there I believed Arnold and his agent had lost their ability to recognize an awful script.
Arnold also turned down a role in Predator 2.

Happy he did actually.
Maybe he will be an Humans win end scene for a certain mission where you recover him after his mission?
We find out we were just next door to his little mission where he was dealing with another Predator.

If Arnold did indeed do work for Hunting Grounds as the majority speculates, Illfonic and Sony must be really thrilled with Arnold's big blabbermouth. It was probably planned as a huge reveal.
I can't find the interview where he actually mentions this work but I can find a general interview he did with many press people as he walks through I supposed the place where the hold the Arnold....thing of awards show....
On one hand, I'm excited 'cause it's Arnold, possibly returning as Dutch. Which we know he hasn't done officially since 1987.
On the OTHER-HAND, this reminds me of Colonial Marines and the Michael Biehn/Cpl. Dwayne Hicks announcement.
I hope I'm wrong and a bad game isn't fluffed up by nostalgia. We'll see I suppose.

Yeah for sure. If indeed it is Hunting Grounds, the fact that they've kept it quiet for this long means they clearly intended it to be a surprise.
blabbermouth indeed but when its out of the mouth of the Governator Illphonic will be sure to follow up the following week. and since the news broke out, others have been tweeting the same news for PHG. So what next?
This is not an official confirmation. The masses still do not know about it. Usually this kind of stuff builds better hype than just a straight announcement. No details leaked thus far.
I've asked Illfonic too, but no reply.
For all we know, It could be for another game entirely.
I mean, as much as I'd love to hear Arnie's voice in this game, if him not being in it means we get another game, I'll all for that too!
Maybe Arnold's work will be for a mobile game, titled Predator Blackout, then everyone will freak out. :laugh:
Hey, if it's good, I don't care. I still firmly stand by Blackout as a very underrated piece.
Hey, no complaints here! Blackout was money well spent! :)
I remember Predators actually being pretty fun on the mobiles. Not up to Evolution or Blackouts standards, but pretty fun for the time.
Yeah I found the Predators mobile game a bit bland at times and repetitive, but still an overall nifty good time.
I'd probably roll my eyes over it now, but it used to keep me entertained while I was waiting for pizza.

Arnie flat out rejected doing work for illfonic and said "the hell would i want to do that for? for good marketing hype? hell no. Ill work for that underdog developer no one has heard about coming out with an 8bit mobile vr version of the game."
NOW a popular fan site TheArnoldFans are creating articles about it. Two gaming articles referencing the site and has generated more hype still no confirmation of anything:

About 20 million people logged on steam a few days ago so it wouldn't surprise me.
