There's one surefire way to control the way your image is used in videogames: Hide behind a mask.
French musicians Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, better known as Daft Punk, will contribute music to the forthcoming DJ Hero, according to Rolling Stone. And though their onscreen personas will pop up in the game, their faces won't, because the duo make a point of concealing their identities while performing live. The Daft Punk robots and certain elements of the group's live stage show will also be recreated in the game.
You'll be hearing a lot of Daft Punk in DJ Hero. Rolling Stone's piece reveals eight playable Daft Punk mash-ups that will pair the duo's songs against those of artists like Young MC, Queen, NASA, Hashim, No Doubt, Gary Numan and Boogie Down Productions. Daft Punk will also provide two playable mega-mixes to the game, which is due in late October.
