Here's A Picture Of Amanda Mackay Holding The DJ Hero Controller

PushSquare: "Gametrailer's have put up this crazy promo for some ridiculously melodramatic pre-E3 show they're doing (which has new Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time footage by the way) hosted by Geoff Keighley and Rose McGowan (no we don't know why either).

Alas - the thing the promo is best for is a sneaky glimpse of secondary co-host Amanda Mackay holding the new DJ Hero controller. We think anything Amanda Mackay is holding looks rad, but genuinely, this thing does look pretty cool."

I'd love Amanda to hold my...then I could hold her...

This could have more sense than all the guitar, drum set 'n' mike games.

MJY2K5481d ago

Still don't think it would be as good as getting an actual mixing deck. Shame decent ones are pretty expensive

Myst5481d ago (Edited 5481d ago )

Currently have a Vestax CDX-05 costs about $300, this game more than likely would be cheaper. Being that I got a guitar after playing a small fraction of guitar hero and even having a friend ask to play in his band (which I had to turn down) I'd assume the same might happen. People will try this DJ Hero, get a feel for it and look into DJing. Some will probably be put off by the amount of stuff you'd have to get; either A.) Two CDX (or maybe Vinyl players) and a mixer; B.) Mixer, Laptop and a CDX or C.) Laptop, Mixer and a Vinyl player.

I know I'm more than likely missing an option though, but these music games have been pretty good for the music industry from what I've heard, maybe this has potential just as well.

{Edit - Hmm this went through as a reply, sorry.}

get2sammyb5481d ago

But to be fair, plastic guitars aren't as good as real guitars.

This game appeals to me much more than Guitar Hero. I assume it'll have music much more to my taste.

McRad5481d ago

They should have gone the Crackin' DJ route, it has 2 turntables and a crossfader and is made by Sega. The turntables are motorized and you use the crossfader to go to each side and scratch. Video attached showing the awesome.

Myst5481d ago

Wow after seeing that I kind of wish they went that route, normally DJs have two anyway so I was always wondering why Beatmania and others only had you playing on one (I'd assume to make it easier?). Looks nice and now I kind of wish they did go with two seeing that its been done before.

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows90855d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming854d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy855d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer7804855d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer75855d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804855d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis855d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop855d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad855d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx855d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf581854d ago (Edited 854d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.

Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.

While FreestyleGames is working on the new Guitar Hero, it isn't the music series we need. Instead, Tony Nguyen at G4@Syfygames believes that it should've been DJ Hero that rose from the grave.
