dj hero *cough*

[Genetic]

i saw the control unit yesterday and read a bit more about the game from the box and it's mostly aimed at hiphop/scratch, as we've all seen there is a turntable with three buttons

there is also a mixer attatched to it with a cross fader effect button and knob.

what are peoples thoughts on this

A game about djing, that fails to replicate it accurately, pretty piss poor imo

[CBG]

Only has a slight resemblance to DJing and only what stlye of DJing at that...

It's an insult.

[tubby]

it's just a game. shoud guitar players have got peeved about guitar hero? and hardly new, there were versions of this around for PS1 at least 10 years ago

[Skank]

meh if it gets more people in to the industry it will be worth it

[CBG]

not if they're taking all our work, djing off virtual DJ for the price of a few free drinks.

[defanutley]

bad news really

[Tomy]

do like the idea, could be good fun. not sure how multiplayer would be......

[Genetic]

i don't understand how you can beat match if you can't adjust tempo.

and yeah caleupe i know there has been 2 other threads but they were when the game was just all talk

[CBG]

cus its that messy, turntabilism type DJing (not taking anything away from turnabilism), tempo doesnt factor in as much cus you can just nudge the platter back or frwd, it all goes.

Like i said before, its only mimicing ONE form of DJing, and poorly.

[Skank]

i saw this being played on youtube and it looks like all you do is hold down the buttons at the right time as they appear on the screen same as the other hero games

[Genetic]

i watched the tutorials last night and all you do is press and release the button, move the platter either by scratching, small directional movements or by spinning it backwards.

the cross fader comes in to play from normally being in center, move it left or right with the appropriate button pressed or little stabs

[Broken]

Plus the daft punk one has the most cheesy mashups imaginable

apparently DJ Shadow did a few of the mixes though, so at least they wont be bad cheesy mashups.

[CBG]

yeah they music will be gd, 4 sure.

Thats what will fool all the idiots who use it "Im a DJ!!" lol

[Skank]

i bought dj hero today it is actually pretty fun the expert level is crzy insane

[Cupe]

hahahaha lol

[CBG]

you sicken me skank lol

[wazza]

you sicken me skank lol

LOL

[Skank]

aw cum on go to your local dick smiths and give it a go

[Broken]

I played it in the shop today, so fucking hard, i dont get how it simulates djing whatsoever.

[CBG]

^lol, amen brother

[eggssell]

no more than mario kart simulates driving... or street fighter simulates getting your ass kicked..but both are fun GAMES.

it is a beat rhythm game with novel controls that is of the hip hop/ blends (or mash ups for the new school) genre. im sure it will be fun, but most def not meant to replicate djing.

saying that i hear guitar hero drums on expert is about 70% real!

i can sort of play guitar and found that guitar on guitar hero was more like a bass, very basic bass no flea style wupaas or string plucks.

google "scratch the ultimate", a rival game to dj hero and they got numark and akai (who are owned by numark) to do the devices. this looks awesome.

[Cupe]

yea mang, it's just another computer game

shit isn't meant to be real it's meant to be consumable
