DJ Hero and Scratch: The Ultimate DJ discussion

tuffenuff

This is more my kind of game, cannot wait for this one, just hope it will be accessible to play.

Looks good, I'll be getting it when it comes out :cool:

ongarite

Full song demo here:

Looks pretty intense and complex at high difficulty.

ShawnRaven

Activison accepting that GH has run it's course.
In no way in hell would i advocate another generation of bedroom mixers, but that game looks as funny as f*ck! I'd give it a bash.

ongarite

You can also do a turntable & guitar mix at the same time with one player using the turntable & another playing guitar.

Thats only on a couple of tracks though i think...

Why would anyone get this game over Scratch: Ultimate DJ?

DJ Hero's controller looks like some kind of sick, twisted joke.

I think the DJ Hero controller looks better and from the demo I've seen it's well suited for the game.

tuffenuff

Lokking better by the day...

Cant wait to play this. Loving the Benny Bennassi vs Black Eyed Peas song

At first I was about as enthused about this game as I am enthused about the prospect of picking up dog faeces, but those videos look seriously cool... I'm still holding out for Accordion Hero though...

Walsh

Harp hero FTW.

ShawnRaven

You've all been owned!

nicklauski

Really looking forward to DJ Hero I have to say. The renegade edition turntable looks deadly!

D4RK ONION

The more I think about this game the more excited I get about it... Does anyone know anything about it's rival, Scratch: The ultimate DJ? All I know is it's not published by Activision, which is no bad thing

D4RK ONION

Some nice vids here to give you an idea of difficulty and gameplay for DJ HERO

And here is the main competitor Scratch DJ, with a fairly comprehensive look at the game as a whole.

You know this does actually look like fun, the only thing putting me off is having to spring for a new peripheral, that is only useful as long as this one game is fun.

D4RK ONION

Personally I'm looking forward to mastering a new peripheral... At the moment DJ hero is looking like the much stronger product, I assume that's not just me...

Sabre0001

Both look really cool. Decks probably not perfectly compatible (ala Rock Band drums in GH) but we'll see. Glad to see scratching in both rather than just mixing between songs.

D4RK ONION

Decks are confirmed as NOT compatible. Lots of new DJ hero video snippets to be found here
I'm still not sold on which one I'll get. I'll leave it a week, gauge the community's opinion.

calex71

i see it going for €120ish in most places, way to much for me to be able to afford in the short term. I'll definitely be glued to adverts.ie post xmas for cheap sets though

tuffenuff

it will be compatible with the guitar and i heard that there is a jukebox mode. a mate of mine saw it at a show and said it was amazing...can't wait:-)

I think thats only on certain songs no? I could be mistaken though.

Hmmm. At least Scratch has been delayed so - gives time to save for more funds!

DJ Hero clips look good (with the exception of the Eminem-Beck one...Not sure on that mix). Liking the Daft Punk mix and the Jukebox v DJ Hero. Would be nice to see a full song playthrough...

D4RK ONION

Yes indeed. I found this video as well last night of Scratch, and I'm really starting to get the impression that these are two vastly different games. I'm intrigued, and currently swaying slightly on the Scratch side, but they both look awesome. I especially like the scratch controller.

Bring The Noise ft. Zakk Wylde, interesting.

Sabre0001

Hmmm. Scratch looks really cool. But still like DJ Hero after replaying some of the song videos above! Could be purchasing both :S

Was a given they would use it , being one of the more popular GH5 tracks on line , well for guitar anyway.

I would do the same, but, and this sounds as sad as it is, my parents would literally have a fit... "waste of money, space, time" etc...

Makaveli

calex71 is that the scratch playlist?

Dizzee Rascal - "Fix Up, Look Sharp" vs. DJ Shadow - "Organ Donor (Extended Overhaul)"

^ Really want to hear that.
