DJ Tiësto Leaks Word of DJ Hero Videogame

It appears DJ Tiësto has prematurely leaked some top-secret info on a DJ version of Guitar Hero, a move that’s now led his handlers to do some serious backpedaling.
In a recent Tiësto newsletter, it stated: “We are proud to announce that Tiësto has teamed up with the game developer Activision and their latest project, DJ Hero.”
Tiësto then added: “I am very excited about this! I think this is a great way to introduce people to DJing. Maybe they realize it’s not as easy as they think. I am sure this brings new fans to the scene, dance music is not far from hip-hop, for example. Hopefully the music I have composed appeals to all kinds of fans!”
Activision has yet to confirm the existence of a DJ Hero game, but a spokesperson for Tiësto’s U.S. label, Ultra, has now told Billboard the statement is not from Tiësto or his management and deny the DJ is participating in the supposed videogame.
A DJ Hero game has been rumoured for quite some time now, but without Activision stepping in and filling us in on what’s up it appears for now to remain just a rumour. However, Genco Interactive and 7 Studios have confirmed that a game called Scratch: The Ultimate DJ is indeed in the works.

Featuring game-play similar to top-selling rhythm games, Scratch players use a realistic turn-table controller, the Scratch Deck, created by Numark, the world's largest manufacturer of DJ equipment, to manipulate music tracks in real-time. Players can choose from a diverse array of DJ personalities to make their way from garage DJ to scratch-master of the hottest nightclubs.
Scratch will be available on multiple next generation game systems.
"We are thrilled to be teaming with 7 Studios and Quincy Jones III to release a cutting-edge game that captures the vital energy of hip-hop culture", said Trevor Drinkwater, President and CEO of Genius Products. "We're confident that Scratch will take interactive music gaming to the next level and excite a large and relatively untapped fan base."
"With the recent success of music-driven videogames and the dominance of urban culture in the youth market, the potential for Scratch is endless," said Quincy Jones III, CEO and chief creative officer of QD3 Entertainment. "Having spent 20 years as a music producer for artists such as Tupac, LL, and Ice Cube, it is rewarding to work with 7 Studios, Genius and Genco to ensure that there is authenticity in every detail of this game.
"Scratch will feature original recordings from the catalogs of many top urban artists and will allow players to re-imagine songs on the fly and add their own creativity," he added. "This feature sets it apart from other music rhythm games and makes it a dream come true for both casual music fans and serious DJs/producers."
"Genco is focused on providing content creators the means to fund the development of a range of entertainment related products, including video games," said Alan Quasha, President of Quadrant Management and Chairman of Genco Media. "Scratch presents a great opportunity to work with some of the most talented people in the Hip Hop music industry and bring an exciting new game to market." |

It's not just the lack of using the search button...as Geoff pointed out, it's the lack of people opening their eyes to look at the first page. |

You'll only be allowed to buy this game if you have an afro, are wearing sunglasses, and wearing an argyle sweatervest over a pink collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
That's what I heard, anyway. |
