I’m not big into video games, and I especially shy away from games like Guitar Hero that involve fake instruments. Something about a guitar-shaped controller just kind of irks me. I am, however, way into Daft Punk, which is why I have some serious mixed feelings about Activision’s new DJ Hero, due out October 27th. The very existence of this game was bound to happen, but what surprised me is the inclusion of Daft Punk in the game and the promotion.
In the same vein as Guitar Hero, DJ Hero features a plastic turntable controller complete with three buttons on the platter and a crossfader.
I guess it just crossfades over to silence.
The player “mixes” existing songs with the help of the “falling shapes” style interface of Guitar Hero. At first the whole idea made me sick, but then I had to admit that my turntables kind of look like that controller, except with more buttons. The trailer features animated Daft Punk, which is shocking given their tendency to only pimp songs to the occasional Gap commercial. I haven’t decided whether or not this is a terrible thing, but I suppose I have to play the game to decide.
yeah, i’m down-this looks awesome. i’m completely sold, well except for that $120 buck price tag.
I think it’s not a terrible thing.
It’s just a good way to advertise and earn a lot of money. If you are someone who has no any talent or patient to produce music than this is your product. It can simulate a bit, that u are a dj and the crowd is hypeing for you, but it’s like coke without sugar or caffe without cofeine! :) Good for tha kids!
Anyway i am surprised about Daft Punk is involved in it.
Your hype is mine. Go and have one!
