Dj Hero Due This Year With Turntable Controller
January 31st, 2009
You know, I was just thinking that what I needed was another extra piece of hardware to go with my gaming consoles, because even with Balance Boards and fake plastic instruments, there are still a few square inches of space in my living room. Luckily, Activision is releasing an all-new (sort of) music game with an all-new (definitely) controller: DJ Hero, complete with turntables.
DJ Hero has been on the radar for quite some time, ever since the trademark turned up last year. And while the title has yet to be officially announced, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick recently confirmed not only the game’s existence, but that it was due this year.
Gameplay in DJ Hero is said to be similar to that in Guitar Hero, and the game may even include sections in which players can use a guitar controller. That way, if you don’t already have one, you’ve got a reason to buy one. It’s brilliant!

I should point out that’s probably not what the controller really looks like.

looks like its going to be a basic controller but definitely a new experience!!! I will be in line on release day–especially if fatboy slim and dj scribbles make the setlist
Cool! I want one now.
The “Renegade” edition of DJ Hero includes the turntable controller and a case that the DJ-vs-Guitar modes to be fun, others felt it was more a novelty due to the USA Today considered DJ Hero the best music game of the year.
