From the makers of "Guitar Hero"

Activision hit the big time with its Guitar Hero computer game franchise, and now it has plans to follow up with DJ Hero.

On February 8th Activision filed to trademark the name DJ Hero.

The trademark refers to “computer game software and related instruction manual sold together as a unit; interactive video game programs; computer game discs; downloadable software for use in connection with computer games; video game controllers; interactive video game comprised of a CD or DVD sold as a unit with a video game controller.”

It sounds like quite an interesting concept, although Beatmania was the first computer game to attempt to simulate the role of a club DJ.

There is no other information at this time, but it’s expected that simulation turntables and a mixer will take the place of the guitar controller.

now I know how the real guitar players feel.

Except that real guitarists are used to being imitated. Y'know, because we're cool. I've never seen an 'air DJ' before.

I predict this will flop.

I do too, but if they get a decent tracklist going, it might bring more exposure to music that I like

hopefully this wont be a "hip hopper" type game.

i find this a bit extreme. it's not really necessary to have that many music simulators out there. where does it stop then?

I'm not surprised, after all the music game genre is huge now, in the USA, thanks to GH and Rockband.

This DJ Hero sounds to like a rip off of Beatmania. Not sure how big it is in the states, but Beatmania is still found in some Japanese arcades.

the thing is, beatmainia is a horrible game. at least in the "dj" sense.

shoulda been called keytar hero or something. putting 7 piano keys and a craptastic imitation of a cdj jog wheel does not make for a good dj sim
