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.

I can't see this one working personally

They may have jumped the shark

no no no no no no no and no.

That happened with releasing four games in record time.

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

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

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

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

How do you DJ a regular song

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

Guitar Hero 74829357491st mix final edition,

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Hey now!:naughty:

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:

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

LOL YOU NEED HOMO HERO MACKEM

because you are a HOMO

Is there much Hasney content on Homo Hero?

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

No homo, but I was the alleged inspiration

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

Parents Just Don't Understand would be awesome.

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

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.

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.

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.

heavy on DJ Shadow there.

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.

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?

Can't fucking wait for this!

Looks bigger than it needs to be.

Hopefully some good house/trance tracks.

Quote:

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.

Guitarist V DJ sounds awesome.

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

Caught myself marking out to this one...

Quite possible that I might buy this

DEFINITELY getting this.

Not enough EDM tracks!!!!!!

Should this not be called Mash-up Hero?

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

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!

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.

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.

How much is the set going to cost anyways? 100 bucks. 150?

Not everyone on tpww follows videogame news as religiously as you. That much should be obvious to someone who's posted here for a while.

YOU c'mon now.

i think im just gonna lay my guitar on the coffee table and get the same effect.

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."

Whatever, fuck off.

Everybody come - the fuck - on now.

I think Kalyx just had a mental breakdown

KT, it's fucking terrible.

I'm cool. Always was, peep the difference. However, I am getting tired of the shit talk.

And for the record, I'm a fucking writer - a lot of text from me isn't me spazzing out. I can do two single-line pages of shit for fun. That shit above ain't nothing.

Who the fuck cares whether it's discussed now, or when it was first announced?

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.

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.
