I Just Keep Getting More Excited About DJ Hero

Here are some large shots of Daft Punk to help you out in the excitement department.

I hear you. You're out there whining about how your house is already filled to the brim with plastic guitars and that you're going to take a stand and not buy any more games with equipment. I get where you're coming from, but you're wrong. You know as well as I do that you're going to crack at some point and end up with a copy of DJ Hero, which is due out on October 27. Hey, it's only like $120, right? Surely you've spent more on rhythm games in the past.

And you know why you're going to be right there, alongside me, buying DJ Hero while simultaneously cursing yourself out for "letting it happen again?" These screenshots should pretty much tell the tale: 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
Yeah. The French robot men of Daft Punk are going to be in DJ Hero. They're contributing 11 tracks, which include two "megamixes" of their material, these eight tracks, and one mysterious thing that hasn't been announced yet but probably isn't world-shattering:

  • Daft Punk “Around the World” vs. Young MC “Bust A Move”
  • Daft Punk “Da Funk” vs. NASA “Strange Enough ft. Karen O, ODB and Fatlip”
  • Daft Punk “Da Funk” vs. Queen “Another One Bites the Dust”
  • Daft Punk “Robot Rock” vs. Hashim “Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)” – Produced and mixed by The Scratch Perverts
  • Daft Punk “Robot Rock” vs. Queen “We Will Rock You”
  • Daft Punk “Short Circuit” vs. Boogie Down Productions “Jack Of Spades”
  • Daft Punk “Technologic” vs. Gary Numan “Cars”
  • Daft Punk “Television Rules The Nation” vs. No Doubt “Hella Good”

 I don't normally consider promotional screenshots of games to be worthy of being desktop wallpaper, but I'm pretty close on a couple of these shots. Heck, at this point I'm practically ready to throw down for the way-more-expensive "Renegade" edition of the game... though since that won't come with any weird replica Daft Punk helmets, maybe I can safely hold off of that one. We'll see.

I am so getting this game's soundtrack... but rhythm games are something I'll never buy. If someone else has one at a party I'd love to play... but plastic instruments is where I draw the line!

For me this is probably the only music game I'm intrested in (hell, probably the only one I've been intrested in since GH3). Its fresh and the whole DJ concept looks like it could be a blast to play.

Damn. I'm tempted. I do enjoy me some Daft Punk. 
 
They pretty much gave me something I'd actually LIKE about this game.

Well, that's good because Daft Punk isn't even remotely close to rap. Good attempt at making yourself look like a close minded idiot though. "

I think I know what daft punk is... but DJ hero still has rap music... way to make yourself look like an asshole

@Jayzilla: Oh Dont Worry about that, your simulating spinning a rechord of someone who isnt spinning a rechord in the case of Daft Punk. Don't you find it a little odd, Its almost like playing a drum part on guitar.

It has nothing to do with having more plastic junk in my living room.  It has everything to do with not having any interest in this game at all.  Of course, I said the same thing about Guitar Hero when it came out.

I was sold until I saw "Daft Punk VS Queen" and proceeded to eye roll. Also how many times are they going to put Gary Numan in a mash-up?

This is exactly what DJ Hero needed.
But, with Borderlands and all of the other awesome games coming out, I don't think I will get it.
Well not this year anyway.

Ditto. But I guess I can see why this would appeal to a lot of people.

As a massive fan of Konami's Beatmania series, I will definitely be getting this.   Lots of original music and now some French filter-house goodness added.

You know, I'll just wait until Jan or Feb when nobody wants to keep all the stock Activision keeps shoving down people's throats. It'll probably be sub-$50

Well, that's good because Daft Punk isn't even remotely close to rap. Good attempt at making yourself look like a close minded idiot though.

So I was totally not going to buy this game, then they put Daft Punk on it...
But for 120, I can buy a real CDJ, and am 1/3 of the way into becoming a real DJ; so I'll probably still pass.
Look forward to playing it somewhere though.
