I knew it! I knew they would eventually get around to a hip hop music theme rhythm game.

ok dj hero... HOW WILL WE ADJUST KNOBS!!!? and the scratching will prob be EZ cuz it looks like u just put ur fingers on the scratch base and wala... still doesnt catch my eye even a lil bit

I'd like to see how the PC variant would work. We have Frets on Fire for PC, now what'll we have for DJ Hero?

it just depends on how much that's all gonna cost now.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Drum Villain . . . that would be awesome...

next they will come up with the game that was made up by the south parks creators in the ep "guitar hero" u know wat i am talking abt

Bob Marley hero... when is that comming out

rockstar_88, I'll agree with you. I can't see myself listening to (mainstream) Hip-Hop music when I'm chillin' by myself, but it's badass when you're out in a club. Terrible or not, whenever it plays, hot chicks from all over start dancing and there's something to be said about that. Any music tha creates that kind of a good time gets plus points in my book.

CommanderShiro, GH is a ripoff of Guitar Freaks! Rock Band is a ripoff of GH/GF, Percussion Freaks/Drum Mania and Karaoke Revolution! Oh no, looks like your head exploded!

*rolls eyes*

Lol groovy.

Hey, I don't hate them, it's just freaky when you see one and then immediately the other. Like an acid trip, or something.

DarthMegalon and Topherrawks, do NOT post next ot each other!!!!! Seeing Alf then the colour psychedelia so close together does not do a person's mind good.

No.... Just no.....

this will be good to play.

going to FAIL.

Hurray for Activision, they're really taking big successful strides in the rhythm industry. Hopefully once they establish DJ Hero they can also release 'Cowbell Hero' and 'Bagpipe Hero'...

I love how all the guys in the picture are dressed gangster but are all asian... lol

ready steady go!

Forget all you little rock heads who are so anti rap and couldn't bear to see a game like Guitar Hero in the hip-hop genre. If this does actually get made into a game (its just a trademark for now as far as we know) then it could have of potential to be a great game. You could have a guy on the turn tables, a guy on the beat machine, maybe a guy on the mic if you could find a way to combine tone rather then note recognition and vocal recognition.

This has a lot of potential to be a great game. So all you little anti-rap kids out there need to grow up and realize your genre of music isn't the only genre out there. Grow up. I like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I own both of them, but I prefer hip-hop and if this game let's me take the best of Guitar Hero and combine it with a genre of music that I love, I'll buy it.

holysocks: "Activision is just doing what Konami failed to do here in US with their beatmani series."

That's right. And the Guitar Hero games did what Konami's Guitar Freaks couldn't do in the US.

Maybe next we'll get Trombone Hero!

I have an MPC1000 with JJ OS 2 ($1,000.00+) and Two Technique turntables $600. a piece) and vinyl, why game when I can make a beat and create a CD of my own music.....


I won't spend the money. Didn't even care that guitar hero came out....

whats next? Reggaeton hero?

hopefully we get hip hop and not techno im talking old school run DMC , DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, maybe some new stuff like DJ Khaled, or put some classic Hip Hop Bweat i'm Talkin The Notorious B.I.G.

guitar hero never reinvented the wheel. it just added a gimmick and the gameplay doesn't match up to some others in its genre. dj hero sounds like another way to milk their franchise gameplay type. lets see its turnout

this is real stupid
just make like guitar hero 4 or sumfin
stop giving us this other junk

Activision is just doing what Konami failed to do here in US with their beatmani series.

something i'll totally get

At this rate all the music games will shoot off in a hundred different directions. I mean I understand adding new features and songs. Maybe a new instrument, but really wow. Soon we will also have Jazz Band or the mmo version Orchestra.

I'm waiting for Ukulele Hero. Boss Battle, Tiny Tim!

am i the only one who thinks itll be alrite?
Id rather wait for rock band 2. With like... keyboard and better drums.

Lord have mercy. The audience...wannabe gangsters

Wtf popular songs could the put in this?

it was just a matter of time i knew they would try this.

I agree wit DerekLee anybody up for some Kazoo Hero?

and this marks the downfall of the 'Hero' franchise. it was nice knowing you.

fail, fail FAIL.

Kazoo Hero anybody? Oooh, what about Beat Box Hero you can follow the steps of hip-hop legend Biz Markie!

ew.

Fail.

I hope it's not all techno,man I hate that horrible music. It's made only for either drug trippin' idiots or for those that really can't dance to a beat because there really is no structured beat. Well if so get your glow sticks everybody.

I may be thinking too much but I have a lot of questions as to how this game could work. The good thing about GH/Rock Band is that it simplified the instruments. How do you simplify a turntable and a mixer? Not to mention the setup is not going to be very portable like GH/RB. Turntables need a nice chunk of space in relation to a guitar. You will also need a HUGE library of included songs. It will get boring mixing the same songs over and over. Then you have to consider BPM restrictions. The dance songs should be ok in that aspect but hip-hop/rap songs only allow for so much deviation from the BPM before the song begins to sound really fast or or really slow. At that point, it just doesn't sound good anymore.

Next up...Whistle Hero: Whistle your way through 32 exclusive tracks on four difficulty settings...Novice Whistler, Experienced Whistler, Skilled Whistler, Extreme Whistler. You'll wet your whistle you didn't get this one folks!

Booya! I've been a rocker all my life. But over the last few years the only interesting progressive music has been electronic! So I'm definitely up for for checking this one out. I hope they put Daft Punk in there!!! They should just make Daft Punk hero!

DJ Hero, because all you want to be is a DJ, yeah right, WTF, wheres the BANJO HERO? -.-
id say if they wanted to make another "instument hero" they should go for drums, at least that makes you learn something.

next stops: "Flute Hero", "Harmonica Hero", "Accordion Hero", and the ever popular...... "UKELELE HERO"!

Come on,where's 'Bagpipe Hero' at?
