DJ Hero, Band Hero, Guitar Hero 5 Official

[Keane Ng]

DJ Hero is for rap and R&B music(which in my opinion isn't music) and Band Hero....no, just no.

DJ Hero will have more than rap/r&B - from what we know it's going to have plenty of dance and electronica, club music, that kind of thing, in addition to more sort of DJ-centric hip-hop like instrumental, sample-based stuff.

I think the controller looks pretty spiffy.

No, but to make rock music games then start making hip hop games is as much selling out as making rock music then switching to hip hop.

What?

It looks great aesthetically, but do you have any idea how it works? I expected to see a crossfader on it somewhere. Presumably the top moves like a regular record would on a turntable and the buttons are probably used in conjunction with moving the record to create different scratches.

Maybe the game automatically mixes the tracks for you so no crossfader is needed. That would be kind of disappointing, but possibly necessary to make the gameplay approachable enough.

And where is Saxophone Hero?

No, seriously... if the songs are going to be as "great" as those in Guitar Hero World Tour, I'm converting to Rock Band forever.

Well, I am going to break from the trend here and say that I STILL enjoy guitar heroes, and if GH5 goes for better songs than they have been releasing as of late, all the better. DJ hero and Band hero, not my forte, but I am sure someone will probably like the idea. \

DJ Hero!? Band Hero!? Well, there goes my favourate part of the Hero seiries. Congratualations Activision, you've succesfully managed to become sell outs.

Also, I am not trying to defend Activision, because they are releasing an absurd amount of guitar hero themed games as of late, but calling them sellouts? They haven't changed their ideals, they make a popular game to make cash, business 101. Guitar hero is still the same as it was when people toted it to be great, they have just added to their instruments and song list, that to me does not = sellouts.

No, but to make rock music games then start making hip hop games is as much selling out as making rock music then switching to hip hop. They should just focus on GH, they already have plenty of money not to go whoring franchises, and spliting the team to work on different things will potentialy ruin GH, thus undermining their own games.

What about people who prefer hip-hop / electronica / etc to rock? Should they never get a game that caters to their tastes? It isn't like Activision is stopping making the rock game.

But it is distracting them from it. Id be more welcome to it if it wasn't part of the Hero franchise, I dislike it because anyone could make it really, in fact I remember a demo on PS2 for a DJ game, but as it is its distracting from one of the few games that is keeping metal (relativly) in the mainstream.

Bagpipe hero is going to be awesome.

Wasn't the idea for "Dj Hero" someone else's idea?

 

[Christemo]

Jew Harp Hero. only 1 button.

 

[Sewer Rat]

DJ hero sounds like a bad idea, being a DJ basically means you just mindlessly scratch a record, requires no skill. I am just waiting until they announce Bagpipe Hero.
