Daft Punk assembling 11 unique mixes for DJ Hero
Rolling Stone reveals that the upcoming DJ Hero won't just feature DJ Jazzy Jeff and Grandmaster Flash, as the robotic rockers themselves, Daft Punk, will also make a very shiny appearance. Along with their signature sets and outfits, the French beat blasters are also crafting 11 unique mixes for the game. Fans will be pleased to know that favorites "Around the World" and "Robot Rock" will indeed make the cut, among others.
To check out eight of the Daft Punk tracks, you'll have to go around the break (around the break).

wow, might have to buy this game now...
SecretAgentHam @ Sep 11th 2009 11:57AM
the sad truth
;(
idk what i'm going to do. no way my wallet can take this hit, but with these songs + DJ Jazzy and GMF i dont think i can say no to this game.

Dammit. I hate to say it, but I think I agree with you.
I've been completely against this game from the start, but the tracklist just makes it far too difficult to pass on. Dare I say, I don't think I've ever been excited for a rhythm game as much as this one. Only because it brings so much of that Amplitude / Frequence sound back to the genre.
I hate you Activision, but I love you at the same time.
Space @ Sep 11th 2009 12:01PM
dammit...I really don't want to have to have a plastic turntable in my house.
get this goin on a psp and I'll be all over it.
dotzeno @ Sep 11th 2009 12:18PM
you must stay strong! avoid temptation.
Bill$ @ Sep 11th 2009 12:40PM
i was just about to say the same until i saw the track list.. they dont have all of my favorite songs-- FACE to FACE, DIGITAL LOVE, Harder, Better..., Aerodynamic & Something About Us
fanguad @ Sep 11th 2009 12:56PM
Crap. I don't want to buy this game, but apparently now I have to.
aristokrat @ Sep 11th 2009 12:58PM
I might just settle with finding the soundtrack to tide me over until the price drops. I figure it's either MW2 or this, and I'd much rather have a funny little NVG'ed head!
I think games like these with new peripherals should have a mattress-like try-before-you-buy policy. I happily willing try out both Ride and this (as I think they have potential to be fun), but the risk of disappointment is too high compared to the price. In-store kiosks don't do it justice, and all my friends have the same point of view as me, so none of us will probably buy this. Not that I mind Activision getting less money.
Timerider @ Sep 11th 2009 2:09PM
I usually steer clear of rhythm based games like this, but now I'll need to pay more attention to it. The absence of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is a letdown, though.
WINterfang @ Sep 11th 2009 3:08PM
Well this motherfucker is sold.
fundando @ Sep 11th 2009 6:14PM
yes yes yes yes yes. Daft Punk really. I was already sold but this just puts a x2 multiplier on my anticipation rating.
SolidSnakeX @ Sep 12th 2009 2:47AM
Cool but where is Armin Van Buuren duh!...,
carmaction @ Sep 11th 2009 11:53AM
Those gentlemen know how to rock the party.

Jrinswand @ Sep 11th 2009 12:00PM
Yes, but the real question is "Do they LIKE to rock the party?"

carmaction @ Sep 11th 2009 12:04PM
I don't even have to click the link to know that that was a Flight of the Conchords reference. New Zealand likes to rock the party.
Apollo @ Sep 11th 2009 11:53AM
WE'RE GONNA CELEBRATE!
OH YEA, ALL RIGHT!
WINterfang @ Sep 11th 2009 3:13PM
Tonight-A!!!
EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
ysdarkfact @ Sep 11th 2009 11:57AM
They should just make DJ Hero Daft Punk. Alive 2007 is the shit.
Space @ Sep 11th 2009 12:02PM
you sir, are a truth speaking genius
Fin @ Sep 11th 2009 12:45PM
I concur. Listen to this man, he speaks the truth.
WINterfang @ Sep 11th 2009 3:22PM
That would made, my pretending I'm a member of Daft Punk on the tour, even better.
spongebolton @ Sep 11th 2009 3:24PM
This is the smartest thing I have heard in a while. They should make a special edition that comes with a robot helmet, I would buy four of them.
Latin_Trident @ Sep 11th 2009 11:59AM
looks like i will most likely have to buy this game. daft punk, can't pass up.
Jrinswand @ Sep 11th 2009 12:00PM
You son of a bitch.
Jrinswand @ Sep 11th 2009 12:09PM
Gotta love the reply system.
This was to the guy that posted that Flight of the Conchords video a minute before me.
gib @ Sep 11th 2009 12:43PM
carmaction was just asking for it...
I almost posted that same video as you, but at least there will be a couple FotC videos linked.
baef @ Sep 11th 2009 12:47PM
I think your post works right where it is :)
gib @ Sep 11th 2009 12:47PM
one last Flight of the Conchord's video, also related to the actual article regarding Daft Punk...

Space @ Sep 11th 2009 12:04PM
they need to get that intergalactic vs robot rock track on here too.
if you guys haven't heard that yet head on over to youtube immediately
Husher @ Sep 11th 2009 12:05PM
they need to make a new album.
Space @ Sep 11th 2009 12:09PM
they're doing all the music for the tron movie coming out
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 11th 2009 12:10PM
Sadly, it looks like it won't be for awhile. They are currently composing the entire soundtrack for Tron: Legacy.
Husher @ Sep 11th 2009 12:12PM
hope it isn't a remix of their remixes of their originals
Tiptup300 @ Sep 11th 2009 1:41PM
I really hope it goes back to how Discovery was. I love Discovery I really don't like their new stuff. :(
matthew cobb @ Sep 11th 2009 8:59PM
well looks like i am getting a movie soundtrack
xtremeholymuffin @ Sep 11th 2009 11:17PM
Nah, they have to go all the way back to Homework
Spam @ Sep 11th 2009 12:06PM
No One More Time :(
j0shsm1th @ Sep 11th 2009 12:08PM
nice move, sales will def increase because of this... now just get justice on this and it could be the best game in the rhythm genre
isItjustme @ Sep 11th 2009 12:09PM
DAMNIT! Now I feel compelled to buy this game.. was really fighting the urge. Guess it's time to pulled some overtime on that corner.
Jrinswand @ Sep 11th 2009 12:11PM
No way! That's awesome! I didn't really need a new reason to be more excited about the new Tron movie, but that sure is a damn good one.

"Daft Punk "Da Funk" vs. Queen "Another One Bites the Dust""
I think I have a mash-up like that on my iPod.
Demon G Sides @ Sep 11th 2009 1:16PM
Yeah, its on youtube already.

Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Sep 11th 2009 4:15PM
That mash-up isn't by Daft Punk. Not even close.
Dave @ Sep 11th 2009 12:13PM
