Activision: DJ Hero is "tremendous value"

Eurogamer writes: "Activision has told Eurogamer that DJ Hero, which costs over 100 of the Queen's pounds, actually represents "tremendous value".

"We don't comment on our product pricing strategies," said the publisher, ominously. "However, we believe that DJ Hero will provide tremendous value for our consumers by delivering an all-new interactive music experience with over 100 individual songs that are highlighted in over 80 unique mixes, a wide variety of music from some of the biggest artists including Jay-Z, Eminem, Benny Benassi, Gwen Stefani and Black Eyed Peas among others.'"

Well for it to be a truly fun experience it needs to have these guys:

1st - Paul Van Dyk

2nd - Armin Van Buuren

I couldn't choose anyone for third I was going to say Tiesto, but didn't feel like it :/.

As well as the ability to have dual tables (at the price they have for the game of course) then I'll go for it :p.

*Folds arms and waits for Activision to listen to my ridiculous demands.*

I would say throw in some Q-bert, A-Track, Invisible Scratch Picklz and some good Drum and bass Dj's like DJ Hype and Danny the Wild Child and you got yourself a deal!

it's overpriced and just trying to ride the peripheral train...

TheHater5455d ago

Activision complains about other company pricing their products, but yet their are ripping everyone off with this highly price piece of crap. Activision, instead of b1tching about other companies pricing strategies, look at your own before complaining. I hope the product fails so they can learn a lesson or two about complaining when they are doing it worst to their consumers.

Simon_Brezhnev5455d ago

well you know their hypocrites

hatchimatchi5455d ago

and they want sony to drop their price....

WHAT A JOKE

activision is garbage

mastiffchild5455d ago

I like the way they refure to comment on their pricing strategy(meaing we don't even het a reason for paying so much more for this than the US gamer does!) yet they publicly call out Sony over theirs even when the PS3's price/manufacturing costs are very well documented!

Nobs.

kissmeimgreek5455d ago

i would pay AT THE MOST $100 for this and the game. i can understand why theyd price RIDE at $120 as they can mak that work with othr games, but this a one game/series peripheral. i cant even see his getting anywhere near as man sales as GH did.

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.

Crows90869d 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.

LWOGaming868d 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.

TallDarknWavy869d 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.

gamer7804869d ago

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

Gamer75869d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804869d 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_Noctis869d 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).

porkChop869d ago

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

MadLad868d 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.

jaymacx868d 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.

wolf581868d ago (Edited 868d 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.
