DJ Hero

[Kalyx triaD]

DJ Hero will primarily simulate Turntabalism, and will feature gameplay similar to the Guitar Hero games. The controller will consist of a wireless deck consisting of a Turntable, 3 buttons, an effects dial, and a crossfader. Notes will travel in an arc across a spinning record, and the player will hold down one of the 3 buttons and scratch the turntable to play notes. The effects dial will function like the whammy bar in the Guitar Hero games. The game is also expected to feature co-op modes that can utilize Guitar Hero controllers.

I expect a full blown press release a few weeks after GH: 'Tallica drops. So what do you think of the control method? And what tracks do you think should make the setlist?

The controls sound like they could work well enough, and I don't mind the new toy. Face Off modes in this game will be awesome.

These tracks or FAIL:

It's Goin Down - Linkin Park
Session - Linkin Park
Cure For The Itch - Linkin Park
Points of Authority (REANIMATED) - Linkin Park
The whole REANIMATION album - Linkin Park (fuck it)
Sold your Soul to Yo Mama - Mr. Hahn

Yeah my list goes like that for a while.

[Dave Youell]

I can't see this one working personally

They may have jumped the shark

[G]

no no no no no no no and no.

[Kalyx triaD]

They may have jumped the shark

That happened with releasing four games in record time.

[Kane Knight]

The game seems okay, but Kalyx is now dead to me.

[Disturbed316]

No way this is going to be as good as the GH series.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, but it will be to wiggers what Guitar Hero was to metal fags.

Should I have added the Jay-Z mash-ups?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh good lord no

[Funky Fly]

Beatmania anyone?

[OssMan]

How do you DJ a regular song

[D Mac]

pass

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Beatmania anyone?

Yeah, especially if theybwant advice on how to run a franchise into the ground.

Guitar Hero 74829357491st mix final edition,

[Funky Fly]

No, I meant the idea's not new is all. Konami fucked up their spot in the music game genre a long time ago.

[Kane86]

At least Guitar Hero sued a real instrument but like GH I will hate this game as well.

[Kalyx triaD]

Rewrite that.

[Funky Fly]

Since it's Activision, I'm guessing we'll be seeing plenty of DJs making cameos.

[Fignuts]

I'm thinking it will be fun. No, it won't be able to compete with RB or even GH, but to just pass or say it will suck before anything has even been seen is just stupid.

[Gertner]

why the fuck would u wanna dj LP songs?

If the music features a stellar prog house/trance selection I'm all in.

Heard Oakenfold might have some tracks in it which would be awesome. Tiesto and Dj Shadow are rumoured too.

[Kane Knight]

I'm thinking it will be fun. No, it won't be able to compete with RB or even GH, but to just pass or say it will suck before anything has even been seen is just BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

[Kane Knight]

This is a guy who wants the Power Rangers theme for DLC. I'd disown him if he wasn't so sexy.

[G]

Come on guys, stop making fun of my next preorder.

[The Mackem]

dunno, I already pretend I'm a DJ with a simple PC programme with all my MP3's, I don't know what a game like GH would accomplish.

I'm more concerned about the content itself. I don't care for most of the music one would scratch to, and without fun music, these games are nothing more than playing fake instruments in your underwear. :shifty:

[The Mackem]

I hope they put 'Smack my bitch up' on for you.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

LOL YOU NEED HOMO HERO MACKEM

[#BROKEN Hasney]

because you are a HOMO

[The Mackem]

Is there much Hasney content on Homo Hero?

[The Mackem]

I think there will be cos Hasney is a homo. No offence Downunder.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Is there much Hasney content on Homo Hero?

No homo, but I was the alleged inspiration

[D Mac]

If you will be able to rap on the mic and it has Run DMC and House of Pain, I might consider it.

Some other DJs that better be on there:

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
DJ Smallz
DJ Conner
DJ Tanner

[D Mac]

Parents Just Don't Understand would be awesome.

I better be able to scratch Metallica records. :mad:

lol

[Fabien Barthez]

A SINGLE deck?

And 90% of modern DJ's are using CD decks these days. That makes this outdated before its released.

Yeah, I know, the appearance of the fake peripheral totally ruins the game.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

There's a rumor going round that Scratch: The Ultimate DJ's turntable will be twin and not only that, actually function as MP3 turntables with a crossfader too.

The makers of Scratch are also trying to get this game banned due to Activisions "anti-competitive" practices.

Basically, they did the same as Guitar Hero. They bought out the maker of the peripheral. But this time, the Scratch guys already had a contract and are claiming that Activision has ceased the peripheral maker from sending them their working models.... Fucking cunts.

[Kalyx triaD]

Announced tracks:

* Gorillaz' "Feel Good Inc." vs. Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
* Chuck Brown & The Souls Searchers' "Bustin' Loose" vs. The Zombies' "Time of the Season" (DJ Shadow Mix)
* David Bowie's "Let's Dance" vs. KRS-One's "Jack of Spades" (DJ Shadow Mix)
* Nirvana's "All Apologies" vs. Rick James' "Give It to Me Baby" (DJ Shadow Mix)
* Jurassic 5's "Jayou" vs. Herbie Hancock's "Rockit"
* Tears for Fears' "Shout" vs. Eric Prydz' "Pjanoo"
* Plus tracks from Beastie Boys, Beck, Blondie, Billy Squire, and more

- A player could attach a mic or guitar controller for certain songs and use them as we've seen in past games.
- You could listen to all the music in a jukebox mode just to jam, and jump in that song at anytime to play it (very nice).
- Not all tracks will be mash-ups, some will be remixes of a single song.
- Since most tracks will be mash-ups or remixes, this game will have a lot of exclusive tracks.

[Kane Knight]

GAY.

[The Mackem]

heavy on DJ Shadow there.

[Juan]

You know, if I didn't know better Kane Knight, I'd say you're not a fan of the upcoming DJ Hero video game.

[Fabien Barthez]

You can get a half decent USB midi DJ controller for the cost of this game. Anyone who buys it deserves a lashing.

Is this another "play a real instrument" argument?

Looks bigger than it needs to be.

[Gertner]

Hopefully some good house/trance tracks.

[Kalyx triaD]

Two DJs can battle on or offline. But perhaps more interesting is the DJ vs. Guitar feature. The guys at FreeStyle gave a demonstration with a mash-up of Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" vs. Foo Fighters' "Monkey Wrench." Awesomeness ensued. As opposed to the DJ-only mixes where a lot of cutting and scratching is being done to both tracks, here the DJ cut up "Sabotage" while the guitarist played along with the straight instrumental version of "Monkey Wrench." This mode will boast 10 of its own mixes, just for DJs and guitarists to settle their differences. If there's an emcee around they can hook up a USB mic and rap along with the DJ, but there isn't any gameplay component for this so it will be a pure freestyle.

Also, "IZZO vs My Name Is"

Interest officially dawns.

[Fignuts]

That is awesome.

Guitarist V DJ sounds awesome.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's telling [and should be noted] that this is not being developed by Neversoft.

That alone makes it worth the pruchase. :shifty:

Anyone as intrested about this as i am. Just read a nice article on it in Game Informer. I looks fantastic.

[Fignuts]

DEFINITELY getting this.

[Gertner]

Not enough EDM tracks!!!!!!

[The Mackem]

Should this not be called Mash-up Hero?

[Gertner]

Yeah this is bull shit. Bunch of jigga boo music.

[The Mackem]

It really is a shit line up, I imagine it might be great to play but I thought the fun in this would be mixing individual tracks.

[Gertner]

It really is a shit line up, I imagine it might be great to play but I thought the fun in this would be mixing individual tracks.

I agree! This line up is terrible. I thought it'd be like 50% EDM and 50% rap/rock etc...... I was looking forward to this so much!

[Kalyx triaD]

Have you guys even read up on the set list? It's been known that you were playing preset mash-ups for months now - it's part of the gimmick.

C'mon now.

pass

In other words. I can't afford it. :shifty:

I'd like to download some of these songs, but I'm in no way interested in playing the game.

Fuck that - all the news is right here in this thread, as easy as reading it just as you do all the other threads. I'm not asking you head out to IGN or Gamespot or some shit.

What type of shit is you guys slamming the set-list two months after the premise was made crystal clear?

MIND YOU: If you don't like the set-list that's fine, there's 'Hero games with set-lists that do nothing for me, too. But it sounds like you guys are bewildered at the gimmick at hand, like it's news to you. That strikes me as odd. Like... "Where the fuck have you been?"

"Oh hey Super Street Fighter 4, that's cool... What's this? What's this Ultra Move bullshit?! 2D with 3D graphics?! That's not Street Fighter that's lame!"

"Where the fuck have you been?"

"I don't follow Street Fighter news as religiously as... blah blah blah."

That's why you do your damn research. Problem solved. Shit's so transperent these days... I don't understand how you could- Fuck it.

And fuck you.

[Gertner]

Dude, I'm not scouring the net looking for stupid updates. I hear about a game before it comes out, kinda put it in the back of my mind for a while until it gets released and then check for reviews. I'm not checking every damn day doing research. Various EDM dj's commented on this when I first heard about it: Tiesto, Oakenfold etc... and as a result I thought there's would be alot of EDM on it, as would any person who heard about this game at first. It's not that crazy a thought. i'm not bitching about the pre-set mash ups. I'm bitching that there's no fucking dance music in this game as opposed to when I first heard about it, that there would be alot.

[Kalyx triaD]

Dude, I'm not scouring the net looking for stupid updates.

I'm not asking you head out to IGN or Gamespot or some shit.

Yeah...

Everything else seems to be of that strawman. I already said the info was right here.

[Gertner]

Even that. I'm not going to IGN everyday for a track listing update. Very few do that.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's what I'm saying! Don't do that! It's all right here, man. Kalyx got your fix.

[Gertner]

K, well I'm still pissed that there's no dance music in the game. I was looking very forward to this game.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pretty sure it's still a decent jukebox set-list for parties. Mash-ups make people uncomfortable, and uncomfortable people are easy to please.

[The Mackem]

Fuck that - all the news is right here in this thread, as easy as reading it just as you do all the other threads. I'm not asking you head out to IGN or Gamespot or some shit.




Which is when Gertner and I started commenting on it, after you posted the list.

:wtf::wtf::wtf:

[Fabien Barthez]

Please Mackem and Gertner, buy a midi controller. Make your own mixes and fuck this insult to DJing right off. The controller looks shit, and the tunes are shit. Leave this crap to the kids. It's so much more rewarding, and as entertaining as any video game I've ever played.

Juan, how come you always come out of nowhere, with a comment about the person, but never the subject in these situations? Message boards for some reason make twats think that their $0.02 is welcome every thread they look at...

I'm happy having a simple DJ programme on my PC and then mixing my mp3's in my own novice way. I'll never buy this in a million years.

[Fabien Barthez]

What do you use? And are you at least intregued in a midi controller?

Should this be addressed in the music forum?

[The Mackem]

Maybe so, I've used this programme called PCDJ red for like 8 years which is limited but it's always been fun when I just want to 'pretend' with mp3's. Nothing serious but cool to mess about with every now and then. What is the midi controller then?

[Fabien Barthez]

I tend to use mixmeister for non-live mixes. It isn't the most advanced software on the market, but I have used it for quite a while, and same as you, I am pretty comfortable with how it works and getting the most from it

live though, I used to use Pioneer CDJ1000 Mk2's and a DJM800, which, with an fx box, was well over 3k. I sold all that and switched to Serato Itch (software), and invested in a Behringer controller. I bourght a little FX controller to couple with it. These things are as versatile as CDJ's, and the whole set-up was less that £500. I added a CDJ400 to it, for no real reason, than I wanted to be able to mix 3 tracks at a time..... and it rules man. Only problem being I had to buy a mixer to make it all work, but because all I needed was 2 level controls from it, It is just a piss poor little mixer off the car boot, that cost 3 quid and looks shite in my set-up.

I really want to upgrage my midi controller now I am dead happy with how it works, but even the high end ones don't seem to offer much more than I already have, and certainly nothing I feel I need.

Anyway, Check em out. This is a fairly solid list of whats on the market.

http://www.djstore.com/group/usbcontrollers/page/1/sort/price.htm

and if you Youtube some of the names, you will more often than not find someone demonstrating how to use them. I am sure you will find yourself considering a purchase soon enough. :y: :y:

[Kalyx triaD]

Which is when Gertner and I started commenting on it, after you posted the list.

:wtf::wtf::wtf:

But you guys should have known that the set-list was gonna look like this, and that's what I'm talking about. How can you not know the set-list was gonna be this way? Fragments of the list are all over this thread.

Juan, how come you always come out of nowhere, with a comment about the person, but never the subject in these situations? Message boards for some reason make twats think that their $0.02 is welcome every thread they look at...

I like you.

I like you.

Like i said, when I first heard about this game, it was from comments that Dj Tiesto and Paul Oakenfold had said. Not from Jay Z or the Killers. Ergo, I was under the impression that dance music would be featured. It's not that big a stretch. Plus, being a huge dance music fan when somebody says the word "dj" the first thing that pops into my head is dance music.

[The Mackem]

Yeah fragments of a not fully confirmed list.

[Gertner]

and fragments that included Eric Prydz 'Pjanoo" as one of the first tracks realized.

[Kalyx triaD]

I understand the connotations, but they should have been debunked at the news of what developers was going for with the set-list - way before the reveal of the whole set-list, and all right here.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah fragments of a not fully confirmed list.

Each fragment was confirmed by the developer.

Please tell me you can tell the difference

[Juan]

Juan, how come you always come out of nowhere, with a comment about the person, but never the subject in these situations? Message boards for some reason make twats think that their $0.02 is welcome every thread they look at...


oh the irony

[Kalyx triaD]

Please tell me you can tell the difference

*sigh*

I'm sorry the set-list betrays your expectations but I wasn't surprised in the least.

[/B]

oh the irony

See what I mean, 'Fab?

[Gertner]

I understand the connotations, but they should have been debunked at the news of what developers was going for with the set-list - way before the reveal of the whole set-list, and all right here.

lol for the last time, I'm not a hardcore gamer and I don't search out news 6 months before a game is realized. I heard about this game, read a couple comments that Tiesto and Oakie said, noticed that it wasn't going to realized for a while and left it at that.

[Kalyx triaD]

I like to be versed in things I spend money on.

STRAWMAN

[Juan]

A wise man told me don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who is who

[Kalyx triaD]

But you don't even have an argument to begin with. You just... say shit.

Fool.

[Juan]

I was talking to gerty

[Kalyx triaD]

...Sorry.

[Juan]

apology accepted

[Kalyx triaD]

Accept these nuts in yo mouth.

[Gertner]

I like to be versed in things I spend money on.

STRAWMAN


I 90% of the time rent a game before I buy it or play it at a friends house since we all geenrally have the same video games tastes, so that's pretty much m research.

The rare exceptions are the EA NHL series.

[Kalyx triaD]

I pretty much buy Halo games without reading any reviews.

[Gertner]

Plus, with demos being so readily available it eliminates having to do alot of research.

[Kalyx triaD]

Love demos

[Juan]

Accept these nuts in yo mouth.

hypocrite

[Kalyx triaD]

Right.

[Juan]

Kinda want to get this

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah the only real downside if you have a shit ton of other band and guitar games and you're pressed for space and what not is making space for the turntable.

[Kalyx triaD]

This game is fucking fun. Wish my buddy got the special edition. Hard as shit though.

[Jura]

$120-200 Yikes.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I just want the soundtrack :o

[D Mac]

Have fun with this, cuz I'm never getting it.

[Shaggy]

We completely forgot to put this game out yesterday at work. I didnt realize till we were about to close and I looked up and saw them in the overstock. I guess it didnt matter because no one came in requesting it or anything.

[Gertner]

As much as I bitch I'll probably buy it.

[Shaggy]

As much as I bitch I'll probably buy it.

Yea I dont plan on spending the full amount for it but if it ever goes on clearance down the line I might pick it up.

[Funky Fly]

I want it, but I'll wait till there's a good deal on it.

Fuck me, tho: $200+ for the Renegade edition? For what? A fucking 2 cd set and a table/case? That's really worth $80+? Really?

[Gertner]

Yeah $200 is pretty steep. I'll just buy to regular edition. I've never bought Guitar Hero/Rock Band so this will pop my gamemusic cherry.

[thecc]

Found a used copy of this. I've gotten playing on medium pretty much down.

[Kalyx triaD]

Play on Expert for a mind shut down. You literally lose motor functions for a second or two. It's a surreal feeling. You'll get the hang of it after a week or so.

[Funky Fly]

Got this shit for $100 shipped. Fun as hell. Great soundtrack. Fucked my shoulder up playing this. started off on medium. Gonna be a bitch moving up difficulties if I'm gonna fuck my shoulder up every time I play.

[mitchables]

got this from a friend for christmas. hilarious game in the company of friends. lots of fun though. we started on expert because we are brazen multi-instrumental hero veterans but stepped down to medium pretty quick, then plateaued out at hard. can finish most songs at >90% on medium, and about 85-92ish on hard.

not sure if there's going to be a world of replay value though, especially since a lot of songs were used in multiple mixes.

fucking disturbia.

[Kalyx triaD]

"Shake That" by Eminem mixed With "Show Me What You Got" by Jay-Z
"Without Me" by Eminem mixed With "Encore" by Jay-Z
"Can I Get A…" by Jay-Z mixed With "Lose Yourself" by Eminem

Nice...

$7.99

Um...

[Fignuts]

Yeah, dlc prices are ridiculous. And I'm not a huge eminem or jay-z fan either. Pass.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, Activision is still terrible when it comes to DLC. Not surprised by the price tho. They were paying $23000 a pop to license songs for GH, so when a mix has 2 songs, it's twice the money coming out of the profits, the greedy bastards.

[G]

So

I played this a little bit today, and is it just me or is the blue button a much bigger bitch to "scratch" than the green or even red. I realize it's basic physics or whatever, since it's closer to the center, but I'm having a harder time getting perfect blue scratches.

Also, I am playing in a recliner and keep losing grip of the buttons. I have been trying to just move my fingers back and forth, instead of moving the entire arm. Is that wrong? How do you all play? Sit straight up or something with it on a table. Talk to me

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I think for best effect you're supposed to be on your feet.
