Legendary group Daft Punk confirmed for DJ Hero


Recommended Posts

News from GameSpot - http://www.gamespot.com/news/blogs/sidebar/909182374/27034942/daft-punk-mixing-up-dj-hero.html

Ever since their 1995 breakout hit "Da Funk," French tech-house act Daft Punk have been a fixture in both dance clubs and music festivals. Now, Rolling Stone magazine has revealed the Paris-based duo of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter will be appearing in a video game for the first time.

Unsurprisingly, that game will be DJ Hero, Activison's forthcoming turntable-based rhythm game. According to Rolling Stone, Daft Punk will use the game to release 11 exclusive mash-ups of its own tracks with hits from acts like Queen, No Doubt, and Young MC. The pair, which rarely appear in public undisguised, will also let players don their trademark robot helmets and play in venues modeled after their elaborate stage shows (see below).

Daft Punk is the latest high-profile announced for DJ Hero, which ships October 27 for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Wii. They join DJ Jazzy Jeff, Eminem, Jay-Z, DJ Shadow, Tiesto, and Grandmaster Flash on the game, which features and was partially designed by the recently deceased DJ AM.
