FCC exposes, dissects DJ Hero turntable peripheral
by Griffin McElroy

Though most of the depictions of the turntable controller have been glamorous but somewhat non-revealing, the FCC completely exposes the controller in it's most vulnerable state. We'd say the FCC is kind of like the Hustler of gaming hardware snapshots -- but we would never actually say that because that would be an awfully creepy thing to say on a video game blog.

People can bitch all they want about Activision milking the GH Franchise, but darned if I'm not intrigued by this. It actually looks a little more difficult than GH does.

anyone that plays this game has a good hand

The buttons spin with the turntable? That may be awkward. I hate to admit it but this thing looks fun.

What was the other dj game called? I totally forgot about it..
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 28th 2009 11:35AM
Scratch: The Ultimate DJ.
I had to struggle to remember the name myself..
Captain Craphead @ Aug 28th 2009 11:35AM
I think it was Scratch: Ultimate DJ.

Nope. there's a "the" in there.

Scratch looks like beatmania with minor tweaks. Not to say that its a bad thing but I heard that "Soulja Boy" is on it and that seriously limits my curiosity about it.

lmao storm eagle, he wasn't correcting you on the word "the", you guys just both answered at the same time, butthead!
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 28th 2009 11:34AM
I sure am glad it passed that Emitted Radiation Test......
VaultBoy @ Aug 28th 2009 12:13PM
What happened to your other icon man, that was classic!
Captain Craphead @ Aug 28th 2009 11:37AM
I thought this game was called "The IT-PRINTS-MONEY-BITCH! Game"
Evildude @ Aug 28th 2009 11:39AM
I don't remember which of the 2 DJ games I was interested in...but It looks fun....although one of them was gonna have some ghetto rap music. which I think is this one
Alan Hong @ Aug 29th 2009 9:11AM
Nah I think Scratch is the one that has all the ghetto music. This one is the one I'm interested in. I think...

@ Alan Hong & Evildude: In regards to your ignorant comment "ghetto rap music". Where the EFF do you think DJing & Scratching comes from? It was invented by DJ's in the 70's who played along side MC's (rappers). Without the "ghetto rap music" you wouldn't be anticipating the release of this game or even having this conversation.

FWIW the teardown for FCC submission is done by 3rd party test labs and is paid for by the manufacturer...our tax dollars only go to train the reviewers that are on staff at said 3rd party lab and are licensed by the FCC to certify these products.
Neuromancer @ Aug 28th 2009 12:25PM
That's actually interesting, well played sir
WINterfang @ Aug 28th 2009 12:10PM
Man I always wanted to have this feel of being a succesful DJ, I might have to buy the game, I'll wait for the reviews and the best thing is that I can play it alone =D.
XBL: Burritoclock PSN:Herbie Hat @ Aug 28th 2009 12:25PM
Just think of all the fake record overlays you can buy!*
*Not compatible with DJ Hero 2 controllers
Hafkie @ Aug 28th 2009 1:50PM
GH controllers have always been compatible with GH games. What the hell are you talking about? Why would DJ Hero be any different?
I can play GH5 with my Xplorer, and I can play GH2 with the newest GH controllers.
Sure, there's new features in the new GH controllers, but the basic functionality is still there. You don't have to play GH5 with a touch strip, you don't have to play Rock Band with solo buttons, yadda yadda yadda.
Neuromancer @ Aug 28th 2009 12:26PM
Yeah baby, take it all off!
bcappelletty @ Aug 28th 2009 12:36PM
This game looks g@y
XBL: Burritoclock PSN:Herbie Hat @ Aug 28th 2009 12:47PM
What is g at y ???
Konstantine @ Aug 28th 2009 1:58PM
I actually just started investing in all of the equipment to DJ. I've got my first table, and the second should be here Saturday. I'm getting the mixer lat and then going to town.
I'm dropping about 1200 bucks here, and DJ Hero looks fun and effective for 1/10th of the cost. D:
I have a feeling I'll be getting this down the road when it's ~$80.

Spiritsnare @ Aug 28th 2009 3:36PM
I like how the second file is "Please don't make this public".
PUNKUHR @ Aug 28th 2009 11:32PM
I love the fact that the boards have crazy names: DJ Brain Connect Board, DJ Attack Board (which has "Attack1 - Attack on it. LOL when i saw that), and the most interesting one, GH5 DJ Crossfader.
*thinks to myself*
I wonder what GH5 stands for......
lol.

I was thinking as I read the article just how bad this must piss off a Pub / Dev. I mean they have this in depth plan on releasing images and then bam, ugly shot.
It's like MySpace - really, how many pics of girls AREN'T at cute angles and with mood lighting?
Angles and lighting can make just about anything hot.
You know what's even more jacked up though? I actually changed my view as soon as I read "We'd say the FCC is kind of like the Hustler of gaming hardware snapshots" I dunno, maybe it reminded me of the first time I saw .......................................... in Hustler after seeing the pretty version in Playboy. While I was certainly scared, I appreciated the honesty and it became beautiful in it's own right.
I think this has been my best post ever BTW and no one will even read it due to me being late to the party.
Slick @ Aug 31st 2009 3:32AM
I thought this was the "You Just Lost The Game" Game.
Also, article gets points for mentioning Mix Master Mike.
