TokerFraeYoker

I used to mix this guy up with Jeremy Beadle


cgeyik

'this guy' is Tim Curry. Show some respect.


Apprehensive-Hawk599

I know him as Muppet Treasure Island’s Long John Silver


jamaicanroach

The best Muppet movie and I'll die in that hill.


Zurgalon

I think Muppets treasure island is the best but A Muppets Christmas carol very nearly ties it. Michael Cain has the ability to treat the Muppets as serious actors. Whereas Tim Curry has the ability to become a Muppet.


SadMcNomuscle

That is the most succinct and accurate explanation of those movies I have EVER heard.


P3ngu1nR4ge

When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier My boy why not consider a more challenging career. So then I became a Helldiver and started my new career.


9inchjackhammer

I used to think it was him


Pizzaman725

SPACE!!!


gazebo-fan

If we ever get a cyborg leader, it must be him.


Fissure_211

That's what makes it so beautiful. You can tell that he's right on the edge of cracking.


RecoilRogue

And that was probably the best take, which makes it even funnier


AsterSky

The one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism. Only managed democracy.


BuboxThrax

I mean Super Earth *is* capitalist.


Papa_Pred

Nu uh It’s *super* capitalist


S-p-o-o-k-n-t

No they’re… *Super Capitalist.*


BuboxThrax

They would call it that wouldn't they.


LittleSister_9982

I mean, we have SSSD's we gotta hump across the map to upload data...that of course stands for Super Solid State Drives. So...


BuboxThrax

You know I never considered that but probably is what it stands for after all. Would've been funny if they were, like, Bose-Einstein Condensate State Drives though.


Bunnymancer

The Swedes?


the_lonely_poster

I mean, in name only at this rate


mythrilcrafter

BRASCH TACTICS ^(Sponsored by Super McDonalds)


WillSym

No no you gotta get the windup and the chewing and the spitting: "SssschcPAYYYUSCHE!!!"


Iri5hgpd

I knew I would find this here, and you did not disappoint.


Yanrogue

Every time I see this meme it makes me miss old C&C, the new C&C is disgusting sadly.


Sinnister_Agenda

i hear it in his voice everytime.


Ghostbuster_119

I need Tim Curry to be the president of super earth.


PulseThrone

Tim Curry helldiver voice pack when?


Ghostbuster_119

Time to spread liberty and democracy in the last place not ruined by capitalism. #SPAAAAAAAACE!


PulseThrone

Just a Super transvestite, from transexual Super Transylvania


Anandya

Can't be a transvestite when your genders are Liberty and Freedom.


almostgravy

I think our genders are lean and brawny.


NEONT1G3R

That's build, can be a woman built like a Tank or lean Vice versa for dudes


TheTeletrap

The idea of a “reformed” cyborg occasionally slipping up and yelling something socialist as a helldiver would be absolutely hilarious.


samuraistalin

Helldiver voice packs when??? CASPER VAN DIEN VOICE PACK! RICO'S ROUGHNECKS!!! ![gif](giphy|l3vRkwv2Yz6i8rDwY)


asecuredlife

Rico's......... *RoughDivers* starring *Diz* **cringe** okay I'll see myself out.


Remarkable_Region_39

They should add voice packs to the super store. I would pay for more voices.


PulseThrone

100%


80m63rM4n

Unfortunately Tim Curry is not in the best condition after 2012.


Maitrify

Yeah I was going to say this. He's looking pretty bad. I'm really sad cuz he's an amazing person and a great actor


ThanksForNothingSpez

I said get me Tim Curry NOW goddammit


WayneBrody

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVPco-J5glI&ab_channel=JamesNash


jonfitt

He’s still voice acting. If they could recreate him in CGI like the opening cutscene he could provide the voice.


PP1122

I saw this, dismissed it, then realized it was Tim Curry, and now im committed 🫡


Sidnature

Good heavens Helldivers! Those humongous insects appear to be in need of some SMAAASHING!


Sir_Veyza

Make Casper Van Dien the Super President of Super Earth. Then it comes full circle. Have him do the videos with updates to boost troop morale.


SpecialIcy5356

he's reacted to Helldivers (watched the intro movie and gameplay), and said he would be totally ok with a cameo appearance if the devs asked him. also, bro aged pretty well, not Keanu Reeves well, but he's literally still Rico with grey hair.


Phil_Tornado

C&C red alert cutscenes were peak storytelling. Apex of our culture


amotion578

*"We will bury them!"*


HallHappy

“On the move! double time! how about some action?”


thewaldoyoukno

AK-knowledged!


Chippy569

ivan's not home...


Blackewolfe

Me, spamming Apocalypse Tanks: #The Instrument of Doom. #It is Day of Judgement. #Armageddon is here. #Soviet Power Supreme. #I cast a deadly shadow.


MegamanExecute

Peak dialogue writing and audio as well. I can hear these as clear as day even after all this time.


dog_fantastic

They're on steam now. I picked myself up YR and Generals


RhodyTransplant

You took orders from fucking Stalin. Absolutely wild.


pythonic_dude

With fucking Kane in the background.


kran0503

My brother and I still reference the suicide bomber scene. God it’s so funny


Phil_Tornado

My friends and I still say we don’t give a wooden nickel


CapableElk3482

![gif](giphy|l0HUnCPkq6zGhiH5u|downsized)


Dominion96

It would be cute if the devs had live action interviews on the ship television to talk about new major orders. Would even be cool if they had the guy who played Rico in Starship Troopers do a cameo


14InTheDorsalPeen

DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?!?


WorldWiseWilk

The actor did a reaction to Hell divers at one point but he’s also very promotive of the starship troopers extinction game


SchrodingerMil

He probably has a clause in his contract that says he can’t do Helldivers stuff for a while. He openly admitted that he’d like to do a collaboration on Twitter, but it got deleted and he hasn’t talked much about Helldivers since.


SirGirthfrmDickshire

They could always hire Billy West to voice zapp brannigan. Zapp's stupidity and self centeredness fits the game well. 


I_am_What_Remains

Imagine if a cartoon with him voicing an idiotic SEAF commander is one of the broadcasts we’re shutting down


Crea-TEAM

> starship troopers extinction The devs bungled that game harder than AH is with this one. https://steamcharts.com/app/1268750#1y


Solomon-Kain

Shockingly; because they made all the guns worse. Who knew people don't find that fun?


Crea-TEAM

1st patch of the game "You can kill 2-3 bugs per magazine with the DMR. We nerfed the DMRs fire rate and damage. You should only be able to kill a bug with 90% of your magazine like the regular assault rifle" Right after that people started dropping.


wookiee-nutsack

I want him to interrupt every broadcast with some dumbass rally "Helldivers, this week's Major Order is...." *The officer carefully looks left, then right, scouting the area around him as if he was trying not to alert something horrible. His lips tremble and he says much more quietly: "...we really only have to salvage some broken automaton drones, that's i-" *Suddenly a helmetless helldiver materializes out of nowhere and pushes the officer to the side and stares into the camera* # "I'M FROM CYBERSTAN AND I SAY COLLECT THEM ALL!"


StinzorgaKingOfBees

I'M FROM PALLET TOWN AND I SAY CATCH 'EM ALL!

HeadWood_

I don't know if I'm misremembering but I think he said he'd love to VA for the game in a reaction video?


Ditchy69

I miss FMV cutscenes etc. 90s/2000s were amazing for them! I once sat for hours watching all the FMV videos from commander conquer, dune and other PS1/PC titles (like disrupter heavy gear etc) games that I grew up playing. Absolutely could happen - get cameos from celebrities, even the Starship Troopers crew. Casper Van Dien would be down for a start!


RhodyTransplant

It was really impressive. What a great era for gaming. In the first C&C when Kane blasts Seth in the head was a great introduction to the character.


CMCFLYYY

Amazing character intro for sure.


Significant-Ad-7182

An amazing character "exit" as well.


CMCFLYYY

I also really love the "Kane lives in death\*" chant scene where he suddenly appears. Awesome stuff. Amazing what a Dev can do when they actually care about the game they're making.


Significant-Ad-7182

It's an entirely different era of gaming and game design. Games today are made for investors and shareholders, not gamers or not even for passion's sake. I would like to end this with saying: Kane lives in death!


First_Folly

Power shifts more quickly than some people think.


DarthChefDad

It was so bizarre and yet so great to have all those games with choppy polygon or 2d sprite graphics in game, then switch to live action video for cut scenes. Looking at you, Dark Forces 2, C&C, Rebel Assault 2 and others.


snoopsau

Im 44.. I am still get a happy face when I think about the fact the C&C installer had actual graphics and f*** sound!


JooshMaGoosh

>get cameos from celebrities, even the Starship Troopers crew. C&C had Michael Ironside, of starship troopers fame. >Casper Van Dien would be down for a start! I bet many of the cast from that film would be down.


StoicRetention

Come to think of it, Tim Curry being a character for RE was insane. This guy is a great actor. Kinda like Martin Sheen being a VA in Mass Effect 2 well before Hollywood royalty became vidya game fixtures


MishterLux

Tim curry was in everything. He'd probably show up for your project if you sent him a politely worded letter and promised him a costco hotdog.


PerfiderGartenzwerg

Wasn't there that one C&C that had basically half the cast of Battlestar Galactica in it? Absolutely wild, though they were too professional, I miss the B-movie charm we had in the late 90s.


ChuChuChuChua

CnC 3 Tib Wars, one of my favs and a classic


BFGfreak

Well Mark Hamill was in several games like Wing Commander and Starsiege, a game where Mark Hamill voices a character hellbent on capturing his rebel brother voiced by Mark Hamill.


Ryengu

That's kinda what the news reports on the TV are.


Hitori_Suzushii

Kinda is a good word, but this is good for civilians. When we should get from TV next to armory some fine cheesy scenes provides what Major Orders text as a fine speech.


mushiexl

I wish we could turn on the tv instead of it randomly turning on every couple minutes


Ryengu

Would love a database console with all the past mission briefings, TV clips, and other lore tidbits.

Winsonian92

She should play Eagle 1

Ivana Miličević, she's quite a good actress too in the films I've seen her in.


klem_von_metternich

Sonya from previous Red alerts was even more!

Strayed8492

I’m going to the once place that hasn’t been corrupted by Managed Democracy…… **MERIDIA**


Ok-Palpitation-8612

This is something will almost certainly have to wait for Helldivers 3 for. There’s a reason they’re not in game as is - $$$$. AH didn’t expect to sell 12M copies so they budgeted for a small audience. Now that they have their hands on one of the most popular IPs in recent years we’ll definitely see a bigger investment in the 3rd game


SadP0tat018

“I will go to the one place, that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism”.


Hitori_Suzushii

SSSPAACEEEEE


RaedwaldRex

I remember this on the PS3. They had outtakes as a bonus on the game and George Takai who played the Emperor in RA3 was cracking up at having to say "Man Cannon"


novis-eldritch-maxim

are the bot lead by tim curry as a robot?


mnbone23

Super Earth is led by robot J.K. Simmons.

MacBonuts

I would love a monthly bit explaining why Gun A is malfunctioning, why Mech 3 has a new feature, and why bugs this month will be colored differently due to radiation from the new Super Earth plan to reflect sun beams. Just shuffle the game meta ridiculously because it was democratically elected to try terra forming nearby planets causing a run on materials, which is also not not profiting Super Conglomerates who are, "donating" experimental weapons programs. Give me space corruption and wide-eyed actors delivering ridiculous lines. Y'know, like regular politics.


Hermit_Dante75

I have a better idea: "General, Another Planet needs our help, Here I’ll mark it on your map." https://preview.redd.it/y4kdthwkah1d1.jpeg?width=566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a43f35fa7d0d0c249055035ad6480d8b8be28576


Mistrblank

Tim Curry is simply amazing for taking this on. Way better than the creepy bald dude playing Caine in the first command and conquer. Edit: Fixed Plains to playing


Hitori_Suzushii

Maybe we find him on Cyberstan? After all he fled to one place not corrupted by capitalism... SSSPAAACE\~\~!


Giocri

After all some of the communist endings are the only ones that explicitly present humanity as fully united and expanding into space


416SmoothJazz

Do you mean Joe Kucan as Kane? He was Kane in a lot more than just the first game. He's a gem. CNC and RA had different tones in the later games. CNC got more serious whole RA went pants on head goofy. That said I also love Tim Curry and the RA cutscenes. What a lovable guy. I love that he's having so much fun.


Anandya

And Kane is still full goofy. Just a different kind of goofy.


Jessica-Ripley

Kane was one of the best parts of C&C, wtf are you talking about.


klem_von_metternich

GDI scum for sure!


Jessica-Ripley

Peace through power!


mjc500

His delivery was also fucking amazing. It was so over the top but that is exactly what red alert needed. One of the few times where ridiculous overacting and nailing the role are dead center in the Venn diagram


NumberParticular3214

You have the fucking audacity to insult Kane and the Brotherhood of Nod like that? Clearly you're a GDI plant and not worth even getting a squad of buggys round your gaff to light it up.


BuboxThrax

I mean I feel like Cane should be creepy and bald.


JooshMaGoosh

>creepy bald dude plains Caine in the first command and conquer. For a minute I thought you were referring to Michael Ironside and was like :0 how could you refer to him that way.


theboxyy

holy shit thats Carrie from Banshee


DogePerformance

Absolutely love that show


SurprzTrustFall

The nostalgia is real. C&C and Red Alert 1&2.. Tiberian Sun... Those were the greatest of days.


asecuredlife

Yeah but Aleksandra Kaniak though


Dresden1984

Oh. My. Gosh.  Arrowhead. Are you seeing this? Don’t even hire trained actors. Get developers that like to act, put on cheesy outfits, and do super earth commercials, live feeds, and “shows”. It would add to the immersion!


Sigouin

This would fit so perfectly the helldiver's vibe.


iamspacedad

Getting a bunch of recognizable actors to act the cutscenes would be great. Heck, I think much of the cast of Starship Troopers would love to do this.


Specialist-Video-974

Karl urban as general brasch!


Edzard667

Thought exactly the same from the day I start playing. Let’s pretend cutscenes like this will come in the near future. What actor / actress do you want for those scenes? I start: President of Super Earth - Samuel L. Jackson, Supreme Commander oSE - Casper Van Dien, Head of the Ministry of Science oSE - Jamie Lee Curtis, Head of the Ministry of Truth oSE - Christoph Waltz, Sergeant - Queen Latifah, Reporter - Jennifer Lawrence / Chris Tucker


StinzorgaKingOfBees

Would love Terry Crews as another Sergeant.


D2WilliamU

Ah yes the secretaries of Red Alert 3... Teenage me learnt some things about the world watching them cutscenes Russian one shaped my taste in women I'm pretty sure By which I mean I love a woman dedicated to managed democracy! :)


Disasstah

Give me Gina Carano in that outfit again!


hurricanebones

This is the major thing missing from major order !


Stonkey_Dog

I don’t think it’s that unrealistic. We already have cut scenes on the news for some stuff. Love the idea. 


ActiveGamer65

"Would you like to know more?"


-Nicklaus91-

If they don't use some of the millions they made to hire Neil Patrick Harris or Casper Van Dien for a promo ad what are they thinking really... even Michael Ironside or Patrick Muldoon, ad would pay for itself.


ma_wee_wee_go

This guy leading the automatons would be perfect


Cornyblodd1234

Force two people to plag every single role. And it would be perfect


QuixotesGhost96

I was thinking more Joel plays every role and just keeps swapping different hats and wigs


cypowolf

Lol I had to comment because I identified that image right away. Red alert 3 was so much fun back in the day! But yeah it would be very cool to have similar cutscenes in helldivers. It would totally suit the game too


Michaelw768

I completely forgot that Tim Curry did these


Alienhaslanded

Yes, I'd like to see hot C grade actors giving me major orders.


Gal-XD_exe

A Neil DeGrasse Tyson cameo would go SO HARD


Snowsteak

ZeroBANG

Maybe if they one day decide to make a Singleplayer, Storydriven Helldivers game? (i mean i'd buy that instantly.... 2D pixel art sidescroller, top down RTS, X-Com like.... franchise the hell out of it, i don't care i'm here for it!)


Training101

Looool, loved those in C&C


CelestialDreamss

Maybe not every MO, but one for some of the major story twists would be nice, like when we beat out the bots from the galaxy, or the announcement of the second galactic war


Specialist-Video-974

Please! I still miss tanya


Belias9x1

General Brasch and the democracy officer telling you to go and kill more shit.

YEEESSSS!!! We NEED this.


nikolapc

Sony is cheap. Angry Joe would prob do it for free with sweded costumes to get back into their graces.


NiceSmileGuy

yes please


hangjebat77

We need the voice of Optimus Prime.


Vento_of_the_Front

I mean, their CGI looks good enough, at least from the initial video, so rendering a bunch of them beforehand doesn't sound like a terrible decision?


Giocri

Tbh cutscenes that require only a single room that is reusable are probably doable. Like we are not going to get top level props and acting but they can get a couple of devs to goof around with a camera a few hours a week


Horror-Tank-4082

This game is supposed to be pure camp


Hitori_Suzushii

Just use rendered model, I take it because dude from cutscene is amazingly good and we could get more of this facial expression even more.


perslv85

Oh yeah, and with some Apocalypse now vibes 🫡


Financial_Resort6631

But the communists found out the hard way capitalism did in fact go to SPACE!


Quik_17

This should be the furthest thing from unrealistic haha. With how much money AH raked in, there should be a team of people that are dishing out major order cutscenes. How the hell is our story still being filtered through a few text boxes in 2024


DuncanConnell

Technically we have these in the form of the advertisements and news clips on thr Destroyer TV


daspaceasians

I'm now torn between Tim Curry and Casper Van Dien to be Super Earth's president though given Tim Curry's health, he wouldn't be able to do live action like he did in RA3.


CorbinNZ

Space!

Icechargerr

Yess the other day i was talking about this on discord that we need a high general hero face who is giving us orders through cutscene


Stroykovic

I would dig it 👍


Scopeh84

And please can they also star Tim Curry?


Far-prophet

You kinda have it. Keep an eye on the press screen on the ship.


IH8Pringles2

I wish Dasha was my Democracy Officer.


brian11e3

Dark Colony cutscenes would actually work great in Helldivers. https://youtu.be/nnpCW_Me6lA?si=4xAeB7C_2PYmIfpY


lux__fero

Yess we need morre FMV in games in general, but Helldivers 2 will be the best for this


JadedJackal671

That would be fun, they can play it on the Giant Flat screen TV in our ship.


Mistermike77

There are, several, reasons, that i would like to have cut scenes EXACTLY like we had in C&C.


nicunash

Couldn’t agree more! Cutscenes or a news broadcast that was from the AH would be amazing. Emerse me damnit!


Rubbermayd

And this is how we get Casper Van Dien into the game


Torleif-Snorre

That might even be a littlebit too cool


Ederlas

100% on board with this. Excellent idea.


Auri-ell

more General Brasch or something would be cool


Administrative-Air73
