Dig Deeper into Scratch: The Ultimate DJ

Presumably cancelled, Scratch: The Ultimate DJ was a game played using a turntable controller, the "Scratch Deck," designed by Numark, which promised to "allow players to re-imagine songs on the fly and add their own creativity."

if this and the dj hero's game interface had a baby, and that baby was 18+.  she'd be hot.

The controller looks nice. The game not so much at the moment.... It really looks like pop n' music with a turntable to me

Looks like it could be cool.

umm. uhhh.  not so sure.   Not big on the npc.

Wow that looks like ass. DJ Hero really melts your face when you compare it to this.

That controller is cool...but why is it that game devs seem to incubate the same idea around the same time? Prototype/iNfAmouS and now DJ Hero/Scratch...I just wonder, who reacts first and then goes, "Well, if So and So's doing it they gotta have competition!"

The game looks like something you'd see on the PS2, very, very ugly.

Yeah....I think I would rather purchase Dj Hero if anything so no thanks
Infinityslimiton June 12, 2009 at 12:19 p.m.
What? The graphics look terrible other than that looks good...
RedSox8933on June 12, 2009 at 12:21 p.m.
First and only DJ controller? Hmm.....

This looks awful. They should have shown before DJ Hero.
jinxmanon June 12, 2009 at 12:22 p.m.
Uh, ya, if I get either of the DJ games, I'm getting DJ Hero

"non slip pad" In that trailer I saw it spin 360 degrees, non slip i think not

DJ Hero is going to blow away, that dash board looks horrible. way the game looks, it seems dull. DJ Hero all the way!!

"The first and ONLY legitimate DJ controller for videogamers." So apparnetly the cattiness isn't over. Excellent.

On a gameplay level...if this works, it could be really neat, especially if the DJ scratching stuff can really be done anywhere and your real skill is graded, as well as the additional beats. Still, it looks a bit...simple on the surface compared to DJ hero. Which is kind of saying something.

i guess it all comes down to how precise and the feel of the DJ hero controller, which is basically the only shot these guys have at making a better game. I trust Numark more when it comes to turntables compared to Activision, but only time will tell.

looks more like Tap Master than Scratch Master
okuzyon June 12, 2009 at 12:33 p.m.
if the audio from this video was really bad, I would have said that this video was pulled straight from the 90's. doesn't seem that  great. and if your going to "demo" the game have someone who owns at it. I don't mean to hate.

The controller looks more functional than the DJ Hero one, but I would go with DJ Hero.
By the by, did you know they stole the name from this song?
ChunkyBon June 12, 2009 at 12:37 p.m.
I think it's interesting just because there are 2 DJ games coming out, and they are going to have drastically different gameplay because of the different controllers. This one looks much more heavily focused on the buttons, and DJ Hero looks like it's more about the crossfader and the scratching. Maybe they'll actually turn out to be pretty similar, but they're definitely more different than GH and RB.
