Quantcast



Activision continues to work towards completing Bobby Kotick's collection of digital DJs and musicians, this time with the addition of Tiesto to the upcoming DJ Hero 2.

The Grammy-nominated producer/DJ will have a (somewhat creepy) digital likeness that will appear in the game, and will provide a "pair of pulse-pounding exclusive mixes" to the soundtrack. That last part is a public service announcement, related to your health -- take your heart medicine before firing up DJ Hero 2.

Tiesto joins a roster of previously announced musicians, including David Guetta, Deadmau5, DJ Qbert, and more. The game is out this fall for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. Pre-order it and get a fancy bag!

I've never actually listened to Tiesto until last week .... now I see why rock people think DJs are crap, this guy takes a technique that goes back to the 70's and involves a lot of technical and musical knowledge (and experience!) and shits all over it. Damn I hate hating things, but this guy ... I hate him.

Tiesto can't write good, original music. Other DJs remixes of his songs are good though.

Love him or hate him, he's a big draw in the community and one of the few with mainstream appeal to newbies listening for the first time. I'm for it. If the hardcore want to complain, they're covered too, so I don't see why they would.

Alright... I might buy DJ Hero now. I saw Tiesto live once and it freaking blew my mind. He may not be the best producer in the world, but hot damn he puts on one hell of a show.

Tiesto might actually give me a reason to dust off my DJ Hero controller again. Tiesto is dope, especially live. Would have preferred PVD though.

Well listening to Kaleidoscope so far, and I'm liking it... but other songs of his are garbage. Deadmau5 is pretty much the only artist tempting me so far.

Meh, Tiesto seems to be very over rated.I like DeadMau5 but only like 3 songs. Most good DJ are the ones you fin on Myspace that just do it for fun. Those are the DJ's that they need in a game like this even if they just put the music in from those smaller DJ's I might buy it. All I can say is that most DJ's with a record label are overated

You know what's great? Taking another piece of music and putting a shitty generic techno beat in the background. Now get ready for your mind to be blown as I adjust the flange over 4 bars! WOW! I'M A FUCKING GENIUS!

Fuck you Tiesto you useless piece of shit.

News of Tiesto's inclusion is meh to me. Nevertheless, at least one of my friends will be happy about this.

Tiesto and Guetta? I'm out. I get a feeling that this game will be full of more pop-dance music than actual house/techno/hip-hop.
