It's been more than 30 years since first headed into the jungle with his paramilitary team and ended up playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with an extraterrestrial hunter in 1987's Predator. He is finally returning to that fictional universe, reprising the role of Major Alan 'Dutch' Schaefer in a new video game based on the popular sci-fi action franchise.A new DLC for the Predator: Hunting Grounds game on PS4 covers some of the time that has elapsed since Dutch's first encounter with the Predator in the jungle, with Schwarzenegger providing the voice for the character in a series of tapes which recount his experiences. 'These tapes are my personal testimony, insurance,' he says at the beginning. 'Should anything happen to me, what I found won't be lost.' This additional content, which includes the option for users to play as Dutch, will be available to download from May 26. 'The premise of it is Dutch recorded these tapes since '87 after the first movie,' Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer at IllFonic, told. 'Throughout these tapes, there are those arrows pointing to what he’s doing, kind of like safeguards if he gets killed or captured.

These tapes are gonna be used to essentially keep his story going.' Dutch is just one of a number of iconic roles which Schwarzenegger originated in the '80s, and which he would continue to be associated with for the rest of his career. One of his earliest big breaks was playing Conan the Barbarian, a character he has since. And then, of course, there is the T-800 in the, which Schwarzenegger has played in several instalments, most recently 2019's Dark Fate. Nexremote for mac.

The Predator of '87 introduced Schwarzenegger's Dutch as the leader of a paramilitary team who heads to Central America to save hostages when he encounters the titular beast, a vicious, technologically advanced hunter. Predator: Hunting Grounds, released on April 24, allows gamers to assume the role of either a member of a Fireteam or the Predator itself in various jungle settings. If you play as one of the 'prey,' you must complete your mission before the Predator finds you.

If you're the 'hunter,' you can use your arsenal — including invisibility — to stalk and slay your targets. Those who've already played know the game isn't a narrative-driven title.

May 12, 2020  Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to many of his iconic film roles over the years, from the T-800 in Terminator to Trench in The Expendables.Heck, if it ever. That's okay because good movies like Predator came out of that decade. So did some great timepieces, including the watch worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger 's Dutch Schaefer in the movie, an ana-digi.

It's a multiplayer shooter that incorporates story elements. For instance, actor Jake Busey returned to record voice work as his character from 2018's The Predator for Hunting Grounds.

The results allowed players to find various hard-drives in different settings that contained audio messages from Keyes. Dutch's story will play out in a similar fashion, though Gerritzen says his tapes will be tied to a player's rank in the DLC. Rather than finding them out and about in the virtual world, Dutch tapes will be unlocked as you progress in rank. Hunting Grounds was Gerritzen's first project when he joined IllFonic, the developer behind, three years ago.

'When you start working on an IP like this, you start throwing out crazy ideas,' he notes. 'It was one of those things where it was like, 'Hey, Arnold’s never come back. He hasn’t come back in any of the movies, he hasn’t come back in any of the books or any of the comics. What can we do with this?' ' Gerritzen's team were already introducing the concept of a female Predator into the game to expand our knowledge of this species, which he says gave them 'a lot of internal steam' for pitching something bigger with Schwarzenegger to Disney and Fox. It just came down to timing. Gerritzen, a longtime Predator fan since childhood, found himself pitching the story directly to the man behind Dutch.

Fortunately, he mentions Schwarzenegger was 'super excited about what we did with it.' 'It's crazy being able to play him and having him speak those lines. When we recorded the V.O. For him being the Fireteam member, when he would say a line, it just vibrated in the room. The one-liners that he does in movies are so natural to him.

Simple stuff, like him saying, 'reload,' it's Arnold!'
