Predator: Hunting Grounds confirms that Predator is set in Val Verde 100% by the way.
Funny how Arnold was in a movie set in Val Verde a few years apart playing basically the exact same character.

Anderson claimed that he thought of it as a prequel. It can't fit as a prequel, but we can take it as the same continuity at least. The original Frankenstein reprises his role in the 2008 film as a voice-over.

Dutch became a Terminator after Hunting Grounds? He even has a CDS code, XD. "Cyberdyne Systems".

Because characters from The Comic Book Adventure appear in the comics, it can't take place in 2157. 2257 is an acceptable substitute.

Yeah, apart from crossovers and alt. timeline stuff.

And that also just leaves the novels and games to be added, correct?

Oh, that reminds me, but wouldn't it be wise to include the Predator: Hunting Grounds tapes in the Viewing Order, similar to how Pamela and Tommy's tapes from the Friday the 13th game are included in the Slasherverse's Viewing Order?

Shoehorn Canon
Outland
-Shared crew
-Exact match for set design/universe
-Mining suits reused for Aliens (1986).
Official Crossover
The Terminator
-crossed over with AVP for a sequel comic to Alien: Resurrection. Only Terminator 1-2 would probably count for the main AVP timeline hypothetically.
-Hyperdyne Systems in Aliens links to Cyberdyne Systems.
-AVP 1994 Arcade has a cybernetic Dutch created by CDS, likely a reference to Cyberdyne Systems and the T-800 Model 101 featured throughout the Terminator franchise.
RoboCop
-Crossed over with Terminator on numerous occasions. The first comic book crossover appears to be canon to the RoboCop timeline.
Weyland Connection
Death Race
-Soft-reboot series has a "Weyland Corp", but likely different to Alien since the CEO is not Peter Weyland as it should be. Unless it is Weyland Industries from AVP and that is a separate company, since Paul W.S. Anderson directed both movies.
Firefly
-The Weyland-Yutani logo appears in the first episode.
-In Serenity, an Alliance operative claims they were "building a better world". This is similar to the Weyland-Yutani "Building Better Worlds" slogan.
Underwater
-Someone is wearing equipment with the Weyland logo on it (the Prometheus logo). This matches the timeline perfectly, because Underwater takes place in 2050 and they used the less well-known logo likely because of the timeline, since Weyland-Yutani doesn't exist until 2099. Underwater also features a huge corrupt corporation, like Alien and Blade Runner.
Soldier Easter Eggs
Executive Decision
-The F-117X Remora is among the wreckage on Arcadia 234.
Event Horizon
-The Lewis & Clark is among the wreckage on Arcadia 234, despite occurring after Soldier. Perhaps it was sent through a rift in time if you want to push it. Both are directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
Val Verde Connection
Die Hard
Commando
Supercarrier
Adventure Inc.

Skin jobs, a derogatory term for replicants, was used in Terminator: Genisys too, I believe. It doesn't signify any connection at all really, but I'm noting it.
