Multiplatinum Geffen recording artists will lend hit song "Blurry" to Namco's upcoming dogfight.

The captain has turned on the "Rock Out" sign: Namco announced today that its aerial combat title Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War will feature music by Puddle of Mudd. The multiplatinum rock group's hit song "Blurry" will appear in the opening trailer and in several other segments of the dogfighting game, which ships to retail on October 25.

Interestingly enough, “the ACE COMBAT 5 development team had this song in mind when creating the game,” said Yoshi Niki, business unit director at Namco Hometek.

California-based Puddle of Mudd has toured with Godsmack and Deftones among other bands; their debut album Come Clean sold a record-breaking 116,000 copies in its first week of release in 2001. The band is currently touring.

Close: for a debut album from a new rock band.

I think I just saw the first commercial on TV. Didn't look as good as some of the screenshots I've seen. But looked good, nonetheless.

 

[Ronin]

I'm going to cut myself.

 

[callous]

I like a lot of Puddle of Mudd stuff, but jesus, this song is OLD.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Ugh. I hate that developers put these shitty songs into such good games.

 

[WarPig]

Song's old, news is old too.

Like they say, though, it's only in the attract mode trailer and the closing credits. It works real good over the attract mode, too.

I'd still rather have Iron Maiden on the soundtrack, but you take what you can get.

so, in a way, buying AC5 is like giving money to Fred Durst. I hope all you rethink your purchases!

My choice for an Ace Combat theme:

"Eddie, fox two!"
