Renders of DJ Hero controller
65
The Twitter account @DJHero has posted what are allegedly the first images of the DJ Hero controller. We are currently following up with Activision to confirm the authenticity of the account and the images. In the meantime, feel free to give opinions on the design.
Update: Although we've yet to receive official word from Activision, a recent press release from Activision's UK PR firm included the images. Second pic after the break or in the gallery below.

Yeah, they did fucked up here in the US. But damn it, if there's a DJ game coming out now it should be Beatmania not this crapola. Activision is killing the market with WAY TOO MANY Guitar Heros and now this?

This genre has pretty much jumped the shark with this one.

Well, I was debating on whether to get this or scratch. Guess I'm going with scratch.

As this is not developed or based on any work by HARMONIX (who IMO created the greatest DJ electronica music games in FREQUENCY & AMPLITUDE)......and resembled some bastardized version of the BEATMANIA controller.......
I think I'll pass.........

This looks... bad. ...Really bad. The concept is terrible, especially if you assume that the turntable spins. If it doesn't, this looks... well, still bad.

I'm wasn't in the slightest interested in this game and even I'm disappointed by that thing. Hrm. Maybe it comes with other stuff too?

Gimme Piano Hero instead. We could all play Chopin multiplayer!

One the one hand, I've sworn off Activision because they're a shower of bastards. On the other hand, if there was actually some decent electronica in this game, and not pop-electronica, then it could be mighty tempting.
In fact, forget the whole thing, just give me some Autechre DLC for Rock Band and I'll be happy.

If there's no house music in this game it will be a bucket of fail.

I really like Electro, Trance , and House but this is lame and is nowhere near to be called a dj they probably dont even know what real dj set is like....... this is lame and to have the title dj on it really makes me sad

Waves a dj scratches records take old school rap like run dmc and a disc Jockey works for a radio station although the latter would probaly be an mp3 jockey nowdays LOL
