DJ Hero turntables won't be compatible with any other game

Let the downvoting commence!

The turntable that comes with scratch is developed by numark and
is supposedly compatable with mp3's and computers allowing you
to mix your own music ...... By far superior

So paying $13 for a used copy of beatmania for PS2 + controller wasn't worth it? Aw damn!

A POS rhythm game...

Or an action-adventure game...that rivals films of the same genre...

Fuck it, I'd rather buy a DJ Max Technika machine.

I thought that at least Let's Tap 2: Let's Spin would utilize this.

whats that? The over priced piece of plastic isn't going to be compatible with other games? oops just lost my sale.

Gives me even more of a reason to not care about this game at all. Not that it CAN be used for anything else, really.

You mean you can't use this for DJ Hero 2, coming out 6 months after DJ Hero?

Until FreeStyleGames break off from activision and create a rival franchise..

See here's the thing, if you look at the two controllers side by side the Numark controller actually looks and behaves like an actual turn table and sample deck. I know vinyl is a thing of the past for many non-musicphiles but the fact is records do not have buttons on them. Most DJs will have a sample deck that they can que the samples by hitting the buttons.

So, at the end of the day, a more realistic play experience would probably come from Scratch. Now, with that being said, is it a better gameplay experience? Are they going to be able to get the same quality of titles and DJs? That's a question that I can't answer and will only come out when the game is held up side by side. Frankly I don't want to support activision. I've purposefuly either rented or bought used copies of their product for some time now but if this is good I'll have to buy it from them. I think I'm just going to wait until the side by side comparisons come out and then see where I go from there.

Didn't know that but not suprising. See the difference is this, Numark actually makes audio hardware. Activision makes plastic toys that are used with video games. Who is going to make the better piece of hardware? Tough call. No wonder Activision tried to steal their designs.
