why are you guys talking about this and not guitar hero? the only reason your bashing this is becasue Tiesto has his name on it. pretty ing cool dude.
besides all the down syndrome it looks intriguing. ill check it out. ive heard some pretty sweet news about this and im curious how they'll pull it off + what the controller looks like. word has it numark helped out on the design.
could be a lot of fun.
you guys are getting worked up and pissy over a video game, rofl. |

UPDATE: "DJ Hero" gets Z-Trip and DJ Shadow, dumps Tiesto
As the countdown begins to the release of “DJ Hero,” Activision’s forthcoming turntablist counterpart to “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band,” a few details are beginning to emerge, including a new website, Twitter account, and a SXSW appearance by DJ Shadow.
Gaming site Kotaku has been diligent about mapping out the hardware details recently, including the many iterations of the DJ controller, arguably the most important factor in the success of this new franchise. The big question, however, has still remained: which famous all-star DJ will be ‘the’ DJ Hero.
Z-Trip and DJ Shadow are two of the DJs who will appear as avatars in Activision’s forthcoming “DJ Hero” video game, according to a Daily Swarm source involved in the game’s development. Both have had a role in developing and testing the game’s controller as well as programming and licensing the music.
Daft Punk and Mixmaster Mike are rumored to be part of the game too, but their participation remains unconfirmed. Despite early reports of DJ Tiesto’s inclusion in the game, the Dutch trance merchant’s role has since been lessened or abandoned entirely.
Activision plans to ship 1.5 million units of the game when it hits the shelves this June, according to our sources. This shows a considerable amount of confidence that the music gaming market is compiled of more than standard-fare rock fans, and that there is a large audience of wanna-be DJs. Can MTV’s version be far behind?
UPDATE: We have confirmed that Mixmaster Mike is not attached to DJ Hero, as our commenters have pointed out. Mike is involved with 7 Studios and Genius Products in developing Scratch: The Ultimate DJ which will also be release this Summer (via MTV).
Mike did have this to say about DJ Hero:
“What I’ve heard is that it’s not going to be as authentic as ‘Scratch,’” he said. “I know it’s more based on just mixing; it’s going to be two completely different things. This is more based on scratching and beat-making, and the other one is just like beat-matching. But don’t hold me to that, I just heard from the grapevine.”

I'd assume that'd be included in the epic breakdown mini-game. |

and now that thats posted nobody will give a on ta anymore.
but this is interesting. shadow can make some really wicked beats, dont know who z-trip is. but having shadow in on the dev a bit could make some interesting gameplay / sounds.
mixmaster mike though is a really good turntabalist and can also make nice loops and beats, i would assume the game hes working on would be a lot more interesting to play
not sayin that they will change the game completely but you'll better believe it they will be throwin some suggestions at the dev and makin some sounds.
what would be a cool mp aspect is you have one or two people going 2x2 and then having a lyrical guy in some sort of freestyle mode. would be hard as to design thou. |

If this comes out on the Wii (I don't know if it is), it would be ridiculous to not have this.
Jesus posing in your bedroom pretending to be in a club FTW! |
