I just found out about this game.

Apparently it's meant to be a spinoff of GH...go figure. I must say, using a turntable with effects, buttons, etc. sounds amazingly fun. Plus, with Daft Punk as speculated characters, it can't get much more awesome.

This is the type of progression I like to see. New and original. Not YET ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF THE SAME OL SAME OL.

Thoughts?

It just sounds like a stupid concept...

[Spud]

Can't wait to see what people look like when they're using this. :U
Also, I'll probably get it.

beatmania was better.

Well, I guess this will appeal to the crowds here with the music choices, I suppose.

How can you say it was better based on an unreleased game?

I just so happen to be biased towards Japan-side Bemani games and against Activision cuz GH:WT killed it for me. :X

[Macawmoses]

Well, yeah. I consider a new peripheral a new start, myself.

I hope it turns out to be awesome.
You have no idea how badly I want to play some Daft Punk. :D

One word: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Success of this game will depend solely on soundtrack.

After how much I didn't find GH:3 And Aerosmith enjoyable to play then WT Came along with neat drums and all and WT Didn't turn out that much to dissapoint for me, I have to agree.

Well, this may be a better start than GH1 for them If done right. I My Sister already know a lot of people IRL Who are already interested in it.

[Macawmoses]

Yeah. The big thing with the franchise is that there is only so much one can do with a guitar. Add a turntable into the "mix", though, and there comes new ideas. Really, this could be a fantastic way to show why they are a popular brand.

Basshunter please

[Doodle]

Well, it's definitely new and different.
I'd try it out. I don't know if many people would be interested in it, though.

Final boss battle: APHEX TWIN
That'd be intense.

Didn't see this posted, but here's some new info about the game that was posted off of another site: (Person wasn't able to post scans)

-This is the actual turntable, earlier rumors were true.
http://www.giantbomb.com/dj-hero/61-23882/take-a-look-at-the-dj-hero-controller/35-241534/
-Developed by Freestyle games.
-1-2 players.
-Turntable has two parts, the "platter" for the disc is the largest piece, it has three buttons on it, green, red and blue. The second piece, which is detachable to enable lefty mode, includes the face and directional buttons, a Euphoria button, an effects dial, and a crossfader.
-Only three "scrolling" tracks, the outside two must be used with the crossfader in order to work.
-Each track slides left and right to indicate the crossfader's direction.
-Playing consistently will build up the Rewind Meter, which can be used to send the song back to an earlier section.
-The tracks have up or down arrows showing which way to scratch the disc, and occasionally an X will be shown, letting the player scratch in either direction.
-Tracks will have an overlay in some parts of a song, giving a player an opportunity to use the effects dial.
-The Euphoria button is used to trigger Star Power.
-Most of the game's songs will be unlocked at the beginning.
-Freestyle microphone input is supported.
-10 songs will support duet play with a guitar controller.
