I'm no DJ fan but I am really curious how this thing is going to work & play. Looks interesting and quite strange.

It'll probably just be Beatmania with popular American songs. Spoiler:

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
It looks like you hold down the button, and move the turntable / "scratch" to activate a corresponding color coded uniquely shaped note traveling down a highway.
The only recognizable song that comes to my mind that this would be fun playing along with is Rockit or similar songs of that era. |
Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
Only three buttons??
Good grief, even the DS GH games use four.... |

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
This looks terrible.

DJ Hero To Include Playable Guitar Sections:
http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/69...-Sections.html Hmm.. I'm not sure on this. What's the point? The track list is going to sell me or not. Watch it have Coldplay and Nirvana on it. :lol: |
Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
This looks a lot cooler.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ratchtable.jpg From what we've seen of DJ Hero's turntable - and, granted, it's probably not all of it - it's got three buttons and a turntable. But what about rival DJ game Scratch's turntable? As you can see here, in a marketing shot from earlier in the year that we've managed to get hold of (so things may have changed slightly since then), Scratch is not kidding around. Its got a "free-spinning, touch-sensitive turntable wheel", five coloured buttons and a small crossfader, all on a functional, if somewhat drab, hunk of grey plastic put together by (or at least licensed by) real turntable manufacturers Numark. Also contained in the same document is a taste of the game's tracklist, which unlike Activision's messy attempts at covering all bases (which will probably please none), is targeting a specific audience: hip-hop and RnB fans. Eight songs were mentioned, and they are: Flashing Lights – Kanye West Let's Get It Started – The Black Eyed Peas Peter Piper – Run DMC Hot in Herre - Nelly Milkshake – Kelis Friends – Whodini Party Like A Rockstar – Shop Boyz Don't Sweat the Technique – Eric B. and Rakim There are, at least in theory, supposed to be another 52 songs included in the final game (some licensed, others covers), which combined with the turntable will retail for $100. That is, if it's ever actually released... http://kotaku.com/5245089/scratch-tu...hero-turntable http://kotaku.com/5244787/is-there-m...ero-controller |

Oh, never mind then.
It's kinda like those people who bitch and moan that there isn't any R&B or Hip-hop on Rock Band & Guitar Hero. I personally am waiting for Piano Hero so I can get my Barry Manilow groove on. :) |

At least that music suits the songs needed for a DJ game.

Or I guess the proper answer is to wait for Harmonix to do a DJ game, right? |

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
So it's Beatmania with better visuals, different soundtrack and presumeably a less gruelling difficulty? Yeah, still not expecting much, though I don't particularly care for Beatmania to begin with.

Developed by Freestyle games. 1-2 players. Turntable has two parts, the "platter" for the disc is the largest piece, it has three buttons on it, green, red and blue. The second piece, which is detachable to enable lefty mode, includes the face and directional buttons, a Euphoria button, an effects dial, and a crossfader. Only three "scrolling" tracks, the outside two must be used with the crossfader in order to work. Each track slides left and right to indicate the crossfader's direction. Playing consistently will build up the Rewind Meter, which can be used to send the song back to an earlier section. The tracks have up or down arrows showing which way to scratch the disc, and occasionally an X will be shown, letting the player scratch in either direction. Tracks will have an overlay in some parts of a song, giving a player an opportunity to use the effects dial. The Euphoria button is used to trigger Star Power. Most of the game's songs will be unlocked at the beginning. Freestyle microphone input is supported. 10 songs will support duet play with a guitar controller. |

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
Those mixes sound pretty cool. Depending on the pricing and full tracklist (and the reviews), I might have to get this.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
Billy Squire!? We finally get Billy Squire in these games and its DJHero?!
Well I guess its nice that you can play guitar in DJ Hero but it'd be much better in GH. |
Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
Looks like this one's going to be $120, according to GameStop. Don't see it selling very well at that price and with that soundtrack.
Seems that's the only way to get the game at all at this point as well. I'm sure it wouldn't be very great on a regular controller, but it could at least be workable. |
Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
I'm sure that we'll see a similar pattern to those we've seen with all "big box" releases (i.e., items that take up a lot of shelf space). Within 3 or 4 months, they'll be slashing prices trying to clear them out. At $120, there's no way I'd buy it. For $60 I probably would.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
I would much rather have Keytar Hero. Bring on the 80s synth-pop!

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
Seriously all you jaded motherfuckers can suck it! :lol:
I can't wait for this fucking game. I want it NOW! I think the controller is perfect actually. Not overly complicated, but still requires some coordination practice/skills. As far as the soundtrack not selling the game, I take it that the folks stating such aren't big DJ or mashup fans/listeners. DJ Z-Trip, Girl Talk, Steve Aoki, etc...these guys do some amazing stuff with mashups and mixing of different genres. Looking at that list sounds awesome to me, but if you're not into that style of music making, then I can understand not thinking it would be that great. Now the question is will they be able to capture the fans of this music and get them to buy a game around it? |
