Dj Hero and Scratch seem like two pretty different games. Scratch seems to be more of a simulation game focusing on hip hop, whereas Dj Hero is more of an arcade game centering on remixes and a variety of genres. Either way, I'd really like to play both cos they both look pretty fun for what they are.
i'm getting this, i have a real dj system, and i am more excited about this, probably because drummers and guitarists, have had their fun , now, as dj's it's our turn, and other than coordinating the controls, im sure we'll be sick at it in a day....
I am soooooooo happy this game is gonna come out. Its about time they had a hip-hop version of guitar hero and rockband, which I've always wanted. There are only a few really good rock songs, while there are several good hip-hop and R&B songs. Im definately getting this game.
No offense to anyone who likes this game, but, after some recent gameplay footage of DJ Hero, I don't think this game is going to do as well. I don't think it's a bad game, I just think that DJ Hero will be better.
I dont think so, first of all DJ hero may have the mainstreem hype, but if you are a real Hiphoper who lives the Hiphop culture, then u will support the underground, becuz scratch is supported by the streets, and it pays homage to real Turntabalist, unlike DJ hero, scratch teaches new comers that Turntableism is a HIphop cultural art form, we started the scratching, needle drops, mixing, and all that stuff, before Hiphop culture came along, all a DJ could do is press play, so this is 4 the real.
no need to leave me a whole internet novel! Making your argument can't, and won't, change my opnion. I don't play Guitar Hero to actually simulate playing guitar, I just play it to have fun. LIkewise, DJ Hero, in my mind, looks more fun than Scratch. Second, you're basically preaching about Scratch, as though gaming is some kind of religion, which I honestly find to be both sad, and hilarious! Like I said, you can't change my mind, nor will I try to change yours. Just don't go overboard.
how do u know? have u played it? 1st of all im a real Turntabalist, i live the hiphop culture, i was brought up in the Boogie Down BRONX!! any real Hiphoper will tell u that Scratch is the way to go. besides, they have Numark backing them, thats a real technology company that makes real DJ equipment, if u want to DJ get DJ hero, if u want to be a Turntablist, get Scratch. support underground, do ur homework on Hiphop culture. fuck DJ hero!! support real Hiphop!!
@ Numark, you should of made the crossfader slide, IMO, for DJs who are used to those crossfaders. Making a stationary crossfader, feels like a transformer switch.
lol wow people actually say this is gonna be better? after seeing gameplay graphics periphial design from both upcoming dj games scratch is nowhere near the level of dj hero
seriously this would be so much better without the drum pads, its like guitar hero without strumming, if it was just scratching every scratch dj would buy one, but because you can only scratch on portions its just a GH KNOCK OFF... FAIL numark for adding shit to your decks
The Akai Pro MPC is the most iconic beat production tool in the world. We chose to add MPC pads to give you the best of both worlds. The game doesn't penalize you for freestyle scratching, in fact it rewards you. Far form a GH knock off, its designed for a wide audience, without sacrificing the music experience. For many, this may be the first time someone has ever scratched or made beats on anything, and it's authentic to the real experience in a way some music games are not.
Yes, but realize the game is called SCRATCH: ultimate dj which would lead a person to believe the gamer could scratch at will, not in specific areas for 10 seconds. In the industry of scratching the only tools used by such famous scratchers as DJ Qbert, are turntables and a mixer, not a beat pad. So in a sense the game strays from its original intent to make the gamer a scratch dj, for the compromise of wanting to broaden the horizon of how unrelated music is made. It strays from the concept
i didn't say it penalizes you, read, did i. If i didn't have to press the notes (gh much) then it would be awesome, so i could just scratch. Is it so hard to just make a scratching game strictly for scratching? if the game had a different title i could understand, but since its called SCRATCH: ultimate dj, one would assume this is a scratching game with perhaps some beat juggling, but nope its GH with some scratching in it.
I never said you did, I was quoting NumarkVideo hence the quotations, but you're missing the point. You can scratch as much as you want whenever you want (the point and purpose of the "it doesn't penalize you" quote), the stage demo at E3 even proved you don't even have to push the buttons. I stand by my statement
hmmm... well maybe i'll try it out, but i still going to buy Dj hero ONLY because it follows more of the dj essential style. Scratch has the possibility to actually scratch, but Dj has actual turntabalism and beat juggling, even if it is pre set. Both games are still far from actual DJing but perhaps one day there will be a game without preset scratches and mixes that will allow you to have free control- way more cost effective than spending 1000 dollars on standard DJ setup
i wouldnt speak to soon, i visted the Scratch game website, and it looks like Scratch is more catered to real Turntabalist, u know like the original Hiphop cultural aspect of the DJ, that was born in the Boogie Down Bronx in the days of Grandmaster Flash, and DJ Kool Herc, and AfrikaBambata.
The Hiphop DJ AKA the Turntablist, dose not scratch alone, he beat juggles, mixes, cuts, remixes, and needle drops, scratching is just one small aspect of the DJ, and if this game was made only to scratch, then it wouldnt make any money, thats like Guitar hero, making a game that only alows u to hit the notes, and leave out the vibrato and other cool affects of a guitar.
looks sick. but the real question we should be asking ourselves...if its as realistic as they say..what happens when the fader starts bleeding? hahahahahahaha. time for a new controller?
I hope the game hackers/crackers have a hand in modifying the game, making custom tracks, so that we can put our own tracks/hacks into the game and just go from there!
This controller blows DJ hero's out of the water and the gameplay kicks the shit out of it BUT what the fuck were they thinking with the graphics?!?!?!?!?!?!
I think it all depends on the music the games have. DJ Hero looks like it has better graphics. This game I agree with Metallica91893, they are horrible. I'm still not sure which one I wanna get though.
I'll definately buy this game, the only unfortunate part about this is that alot of people will not even give this game a chance just because it's soundtrack is made up of hip-hop/rap. This game might be a success to the hip-hop/rap community, but not the videogame community in general =/
i hope the " other people drop that law suit bulll crapp!!!, dont they know that dj's ( like myself ) will end up buying both products, if they only added a mic for rapping and singingn , but yeah looks like iim buying both, this one looks more hip hop than mash ups , but they both look great ,,, price ??
What's that song called at the end of the video? I know it was in kill bill, but there's a rap song out there with that beat, anyone know what it is?
