DJ Tiesto Claims He's A Hero

That sounds like a shot in the dark, aiming for ingenuity; instead, hitting on stupidity. "DJ Hero?" No thanks.

BO

Wow - the cows are calling, they want the milking to stop!

I seriously doubt this will be one tenth as popular as the GH games.  A Drum Hero game might work but are there really that many people that want to try out DJing.  Then again I'm mostly wrong so I'm sure there are people who will buy it

um...o.kay

Wouldn't a DJ Hero be a clone of BeatMania or something like that?

I predict this wont even release in the US. DJ Hero?! Are you serious? How about "Sound Studio Mixer Hero"! That would kick ass!!!

I think that justifying a fake turn table will be even more difficult than justifying fake guitars.

DJ hero is quite probably the stupidest name I have ever heard. Also yes, the guy should more fucking facial hair then this. 

I can't wait to DJ along to some of that Lil Wayne! He writes such amazing and totally deep lyrics. Also, he is a musical genius with those sick beats!!!111oneoneone! /sarcasm

Activision has so much money now, they quite possibly might have a time machine.

hes a legend im definetly buyin the game love techno

I'm listneing to Tiesto right now :D I love Trance but I don't want to buy a game which will hav some Fisherprice equipment because that would be sooo shit so I hope they do it right.

as long as nujabes is in it im fine

.How good can a DJ game get? Then again.. How good can a guitar game get?

Could be good. Not in a 'Press button when coloured not appears' format though. Getting to mix your own tunes with some plastic decks would be sweet

why don't they just make a console version of Beatmania?

Yeah... Ok.

sound's awsome

they need some drum and bass dj's in this game like dj hype, andy c etc. etc.

but other than that sounds cool

I'm fairly certain that this game is actually "Scratch: The Ultimate DJ", it was named on Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursdays Ep. 1 during the Presidential Elections

No, I am not buying any more peripherals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DJ Qbert & DJ Z-Trip > DJ Tiesto

theres much better than him at this point

DJ Tiesto > Any other DJ in the fucking universe.

I DJ be interesting to see how this works and what features the game has.

hopefully this gets konami to just try getting IIDX out in america. they shouldn't even try to localize it, just release them as they are in japan- localizations seem to always make games ultra horrible

maybe ever since the first guitar hero came out, konami should have taken the hint that music games are actually fun....they could have further-popularized beatmania during that time....but no, instead activision is going to get a jump on the whole dj music game experience.

too many missed opportunities for konami...can't help but feel bad for 'em.

anyway, i'm not sure how fun a dj hero game can be considering there's absolutely no multiplayer experience to be gained from it.  as things stand now, music games are all about the local multiplayer interactivity.

Looking forward to hearing the final line up. If it has Armin Van Burren and.or Above & Beyond on it, it's a must have.

Sweet! Dj Tiesto is like my favourite Dj!

Worst. Music Game. Ever.

If it's anything like DJ Max Portable or IIDX I'll buy it for sure.

When I think about it I doubt it will be that much like those games, they aren't that closely related to DJ'ing after all. I still hope this will be as hardcore music game as those two are.

Not another one...

DJ Tiesto is so freaking overrated.  He's not even rave yet he tries to pretend it is.  It's more like moody trance.  lame.

"DJ Tiesto is so freaking overrated.  He's not even rave yet he tries to pretend it is.  It's more like moody trance.  lame."

This sounds really retarted. But being a DJ and electronica artist, i might follow it. I meen if they make it that it scores you on smooth trasitions, effects and on-beat scratching and fast scratching/mixing it might turn out quite cool. Its fucked if its a guitar hero clone though, that aint going to work. Also if you could produce your own music with synths,drum machines, samplers and sequencers i would by it just for that

I don't think anyone has ever said he's rave. And it's not like that;s been going since about 1995. What is 'moody trance', BTW?"

But his shindigs (lulz) are rave-esque. 

He just seems like the overrated "Usher" of the whole trance stuff. 

None of his songs would make the top ten of newgrounds music section.  He just seems like that person who you say "yea, tiesto's the best because..uhh... well this guide to techno says we're suppose to like him".
It's mainly because all of the people on youtube who are so gay for tiesto invade happy rave pages and eurotrance (talking stuff like dj cammy, basshunter, etc.)

He's so incredibly average and bland imo."

I really have no idea what you're talking about but whatever, who would you say is better? There is better out there, but to discredit Tiesto is a bit much."

More interested in the hardware and how that's gonna work than the actual music. Not much into the world of synthesizing.

Being a Bemani freak, I'll probibly buy it :P

first off Tiesto is only like I duno one of the best trance artists in the world so um he aint the one who should be getting any shit cause well... he's the man... DJ hero though dumbest idea... period

it was my understanding modern dj's jobs involve going "make some noise" and switching to another song.
What happened that made dj's so popular in the 90's, i mean, their sole purpose was just to provide music for people to dance to.... and that was it, suddenly they became the most important person in the room, for fading in another song?

cikame, who do you think makes those songs? DJ's! DJ doesn't mean disc jockey anymore... it means electronic musician.

EDIT: Would be cool if I could plug in any class-compliant USB midi controller like my Axiom for this game.

My favorite DJ.
Its more hard style but he does alot of different things.
I am interested on how this game will play. It has potential if you like that style of music.

Hearing this connection between Tiesto and the "DJ Hero" game, it's pretty much all but confirmed to me that this game won't be good.  Not because I don't like Tiesto or the genre he's connected to, but because beat mixing (the foundation skill of all electronic dance music DJing and something good hip-hop party rocking DJs can do) is not something that can be easily simplified.  I imagine it's going to be a complete BeatMania clone with button pushing and licensed music.

There's nothing wrong with BeatMania, I love that game, but it's 10 years later.  I was really hoping that they'd try to do a turntablist game (turntablism/scratching is the DJ art that most closely resembles playing an instrument), but it's clear they're not, since trance/house are two genres where turntablism techniques are not used, and really don't fit those styles of music.

Love Dance and Electronic Music! Hopefully they'll get David Guetta, Mylo, Basement Jaxx, Bob SinClar all onboard, because there on my list of Favs!

I don't care for Guitar hero much, but that's because I don't like the music. "DJ Hero" sounds super cheesy, but if Tiesto (and his music) is in it... might be worth checking out.
