DEF JAM RAPSTAR CONFIRMED FOR NOVEMBER
Drake, Outkast, Tinchy Stryder featuring N-Dubz and More Confirmed In Game
LONDON, ENGLAND – June 3, 2010 – Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH and Autumn Games are pleased to announce the release date for Def Jam Rapstar, the first true interactive Hip Hop music game experience. Developed by 4mm Games, Terminal Reality and Def Jam Interactive, Def Jam Rapstar will be available in the U.K. on November 5, 2010 for the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Nintendo Wii. Details on European pricing and bundle information will be forthcoming.In addition, Def Jam Rapstar is proud to reveal the next six songs featured in the game, including Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”, Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean”, Tinchy Stryder featuring N-Dubz “Number 1” and more. Def Jam Rapstar is also excited to announce DJ Premier and Just Blaze as the first confirmed producers who will be providing exclusive instrumental beats for Def Jam Rapstar’s Freestyle Mode, which allows the aspiring emcee a chance to deliver their own original rhymes over never before heard tracks by some of today’s hottest producers.
There is absolutely no concrete proof that this is the real deal yet, so don’t get too hyped up. The images above supposedly come from a survey, and apparently Eurocom is developing some sort of GoldenEye title for Wii. Is it this remake? I’m not sure, but that would be one heck of an announcement!
I’m assuming that these two pieces will be in Other M, as they can be heard on the game’s revamped Japanese website. The second song is an orchestral piece performed by Kuniaki Haishima. In any case, I’ve gathered the new music together and put them into two videos below.
