A Very Special Message from David Hasselhoff

185 0

Hello everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood David Hasselhoff here. I know you’re probably wondering “What in the KITT am I doing on the PS Blog?” right? Well…settle down…settle down! I’m here to let you know straight from the Hoff’s mouth – I’m coming to PAIN! And it hurts so good! Don’t believe me, PEOPLE Magazine just broke the story and I’m talking about it on my blog.

Hasselhoff in Pain

What am I doing in PAIN you ask? It’s the Movie Studio! What’s a movie studio without The Hoff? You can now put The Hoff into a launcher and fling me into harm’s way – exploding crates, cars, people – everything is fair game. And best of all, you’ll never even put a scratch on this mug of mine!

When I was first approached about PAIN, I really didn’t know what to think. I mean, it’s great to think that someone would want to put me in a game, but THIS game is all about flinging people into walls, smashing them into cars, and spanking monkeys. While I wholeheartedly approve of the monkey spanking, I wasn’t too sure about the rest of the game. When I finally got my hands on PAIN though, everything changed, and I “got it”. If anybody can understand silly fun, it’s me.

I am a man of many emotions so when you throw me around the Movie Studio, I need to express myself. What better way than in song! So to commemorate my invasion onto the PS3, I made a cover song of Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” exclusively for PAIN. I’m really happy with the way the track turned out. We definitely brought something new to such a classic, well-known tune, and when you hear it, you’re going to like it. Sure, you know David Hasselhoff, but this song is like nothing I’ve done before.

So, after a lot of hard work by a bunch of talented people, Hoff Day is coming on Nov. 6! I’ve got the keys to the Movie Studio … who wants in? After all, do you REALLY want to hurt me? Wait….don’t answer that. Just go download The Hoff and play PAIN!

  • lol that’s sweet =D

  • I remember you from Baywatch. Does that say much?

  • I have a whole new respect for the man now.

  • You can’t have the Hoff without Pam Anderson, Gary Coleman, or Spongbob ;)

    Too bad no Bruce Campbell in the upcoming movie level.

  • How about Rick Astelly?

    Oh and try to get Chuck Norris again! lol

    ————–

    Should also go for Sony reps in there

    Jack Tretton
    Kaz Hirai
    You
    Jeff Rubenstein
    Grace Chen
    etc
    etc

    Oh how about Bill Gates? ;D

  • I’m not sure Chuck Norris would be technically playable in the game: either the slingshot would be flung back by just touching him, or the entire game world would implode after Chuck Norris’ head of awesomeness hit the ground.

  • bwahahahahahaha

    America’s Got Issues!

    i’m pretty sure my girlfriend will be buying teh hoff..

    btw i meant to spell it “teh”

    lol

  • Paying to slap The Hoff around? I’m sold! Will there be an unlockable drunk version? :^).

  • Thanks Hoff!

    @Everyone: Yes the Studio is coming out on the 6th of November and I am in the process of getting more victims to toss. I posted on the Blog before and asked everyone who they wanted to toss. Celebs and Video Game Characters were the top votes so we are making good on promises to give you what you want.

  • Wow, put the man in a movie already.

  • How about Jackie Chan? But Chuck Norris would be pretty much the best thing ever!

    I mean c’mon!! # Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice. And when the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

    Who brings more PAIN than Chuck Norris?

  • now we have “The Hoff” next up The Governator

  • I’m offended by the idea of paying to own a likeness of David Hasslehoff. Please pull this game.

  • The Hoff, Unbelievable! I haven’t read the blog all day and this is what I come home too?! Hilarious! Travis, David, you and the rest of the crew have outdone yourselves!

  • Sweet! I get to toss the Huff around the Pain universe.

  • The Hoff!!

    we need ozzy osbourne

  • pee wee herman would be great
    jerry lewis
    ronald reagan
    barbara bush
    Mr. Rogers
    MushMouth (from fat albert)
    John Stewart
    Steven Colbert
    Harold and/or Kumar
    rick flair (wrestlers would be fun to fling)
    Abe (from the Odd World series, he was made for this game)
    Joe Bob Briggs
    Magic Johnson or Dennis Rodman or OJ Simpson
    Homer Sipmson
    Peter Griffin
    Monkey D Luffy (love the one piece)
    i could sit here thinking forever, but it’s bed time. Hoffster is win!! Pee Wee would be a bigger Win!?!

  • Haha, this is great news.

    I bet William Shatner would be pretty easy to enlist into PAIN? Seriously, you should try him if you haven’t already.

  • Shatner is a GREAT idea.

  • The movie is on “The Hoff’s” blog : http://www.hasselhoff.com/blog/

    It’s cool :)

  • This is really good news! I love PAIN no matter how bare-boned of a game some claim it to be. The game is what you make it. Thanks!

  • lol thats tite

  • I’m so gonna have a lot of fun with Mr. Hasslehoff *teehee* :-D

  • What do you think to add Borat or Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen)? That would be great idea!

  • I’d love to see Stephen Colbert in the game, I’m sure he’s up for it. I mean, the guy is a big nerd with his song in Guitar Hero and himself running for president in the Marvel universe.

    I’m sure he loves it!

  • Very Funny? I have to hear that cover. You have to make the song a download, please.

  • Get us Jeremy Clarkson!

  • LOL! Sold.

    ++William Shatner – “I’m boldly going!”; “Beat me up, Spotty!”; “I’ve… ripped… my… shirt… again”

  • I think Richard Simmons would be VERY funny.

  • Gotta respect the way Hoff takes these things with humour rather than getting pissed. This is how you turn jokes about yourself in to positive reputation.

    Chuck Norris would be too good, he would literaly tear the town a part killing any1 in his way while scoring so much points that even our small minds can comprehend.

  • This is great, getting the Hoff to endorse the game is a PR masterstroke!!!

    I never got PAIN at release but I’m tempted after seeing all the additional development that has gone into it. Any idea if there’ll be a bundle price containing the original game and the 2 expansions?

    Does the Hoff actually voice the character I take it? Is the song background music or does the character sing it as he’s flying? How many phrases does he have, if any?

    I’d love to see Mr T in the game, I can see it now – “I petty the fool that fires me from a slingshot!”

  • This was a nice move from you guys, nicely done.

  • Guys one word……

    Cartman!

    Beavis and Butt-Head would also be hilarious!

  • This is awesome news. I saw we tried to get Bush, but can we get that communist Obama to shoot also? At least on election night, when ACORN throws him in office via the Mickey Mouse vote, I can hurl him from a sling right into the subway.

  • This is a crazy idea – and I love it!
    The Hoff has a great sense of humour.

    Will we also here his voice samples when he hits things?

    What about Mr T?
    William Shatner?
    Darth Vader?

  • the buzz quiz tv guy and hasselhoff is a great addition, but when will the sackboy be pickable for pain? that will be a massive great DLC or secret character get in the ingame?

  • LOL that is seriously awesome.

    I love you guys.

  • Hey great news guys looking forward to the next installament already and the new characters. Unlike some I bought this from the start and glad to see you are all hard at work support it you guys do an amazing job keep it up and looking forward to what you have planned next.

  • LOL. Priceless.

  • “While I wholeheartedly approve of the monkey spanking, I wasn’t too sure about the rest of the game”

    That seriously made me laugh my head off

  • awesome job

  • OMG what’s next Hugh Hefner? lol

  • Wow.

    *bows down in reverence*

  • Oh, please have the “horse” game available in the new level. My roommate and I thoroughly despise the horse-esque version released in abusement park. All we do is play Horse in paindemonium, please oh please don’t let us down again.

  • if you get Sarah Palin and John McCain i’ll buy this game.

  • Shatner would be awesome! Bob Saget perhaps as well?

    But way to go, Hoff! Looking forward to spank some monkeys with you. *pun intended* (How can you not intend a pun, when commenting this game? =P)

    Sackboy vs. David H. in a bowling fight? I’m not sure who would win…

    Any news on sackboys arrival? ^^

  • Sucks you cannot just be like the paparazzi and use celebs images if they like it or not!

    I would love to toss the political figures around PAIN!

    I agree with getting you in the game Travis! Let us also expand that and get the PS Blog crew in PAIN so we can toss around Eric Lempel for firmware updates and Jeff for fun!

    As far as video game characters go, can we get Helghast, Kratos and Sackboy?

    The Hoff rocks!

    Keep up the great work!
    Thanks!

  • I need an Barack Hussein Obama PAIN!

    QUICK! QUICK!

    :P

    Yes it’s really David singing in the trailer and it’s REALLY him voicing his character. We had a TON of fun working with him. He’s honestly one of the most awesome celebs I have ever worked with.

    And I tried to get some political figures and I got shot down. It was a valiant effort though.
