Copied from bemanistyle:
chronomaster writes: MTV has released a trailer of the DJ Simulator, Scratch: The Ultimate DJ, for the Ameri-curious among us
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/22/sc...ler/#continued
The trailer doesn't show much more than the game in motion. Ultimately, suspicions seem right on it looking like nothing more than a GH/RB clone. Also, an entire lane (the scratch lane pictured above the video player) was eliminated, pushing it closer to hivemind status. However, as samey is this all is, the track listing seems to be a winner so far. If only they didn't try to repackage the same concept as a new game; ah, but such is rhythm gaming.
I know a lot of you will disagree, but IMO, It's just another beatmania rip-off with, instead of bemani music, todays hit music. The interface is different, but the gameplay is very similar. I will consider checking it out, though. Anyone else?

That song playing in the background, Go DJ by Lil' Wayne, is fucking awful.

Unlike “Guitar Hero” or “Rock Band,” there is no “strumming” needed — you just hit the appropriate button.

A crucial difference between “Scratch” and other music games is how it handles winning and losing. You cannot “lose” at a “Scratch” track midway through. “Rock Band” and “Guitar Hero” will throw a game over screen if you’re not keeping up, but “Scratch” allows you to finish every song

"Charlie isn't real" |
...as much as you guys are not liking the way this game is going...
I like it...i mean, unfortunately i have never played beatmania or IIDX to actually try and comeback with something about this game so pretty much this game has me in terms of anything close to beatmania (but OF COURSE IT IS NOT beatmania...just something "awfully" close to it).
Although this game and DJ Hero i am keeping my eye on >_>...because if this game is just straight up hip-hop/rap/R&B, then it's a no buy for me, i want a game that has a mix of songs (pretty much techno/trance/electronic songs).
Besides, i grew up with this kind of music so it doesn't bother me. I just like a mixture of music other than just hip-hip and rap

Haha, holy shit that was funny.Here.
looks like it's trying to cater to the more urban-ghetto kind of crowd. which will please some people i suppose. which is pretty shit, because DJs like Fatboy Slim also exist and make a much larger variety of music.
ah well. Can anyone HONESTLY say they were expecting anything different?

If anyone can, then there probably wasn't much to say anyway.Now that I think of it, wasn't there a game like this long ago (like when PS2s were new) that was a DJ game by MTV (when MTV actually played music)? It's been a few years since I had thought about it, but I'm sure there was something like it.
Oh yeah...

If you mean the song itself, I may have to disagree due to the fact that I've heard it so much that I almost like it. (and for some reason it seems to have revived itself, who knows why other than DJs on the radio promoting themselves). If you meant the "scratching" of that song, then by all means, it was fucking awful.(OMG, I just used a curse word!)

EDIT: I found it! it's called MTV Music Generator. It's actually a music creation system like Audacity is, just in game form.

The release date has yet to be confirmed. For now it's "coming soon". I'm guessing either late spring or early summer.

"Charlie isn't real" |
Sometime Spring/Summer release (last time i heard...)
And oh yea, that "Scratch remix" of Go DJ was AWFUL! If the game makes the gameplay like that, then that is really stupid...the song is great, but the way it was scratched was just AWFUL (give me the game and i could do at least a decently made mix of that song).
*sigh* -_- Seems that DJ Hero is the one i am looking for...and last time i heard, it was going to be just like GH, only this time the music is from like the 2000's era (pretty much widely known hits and stuff...i also heard that Paul Van Dyke andDJ Tiesto are "working" with the game).
EDIT: Scratch that, apparently, they dropped DJ Tiesto from the game and turned to Z-Trip and DJ Shadow as two included avatars and artists in the game...
they are also hearing rumors that Daft Punk and Mixmaster Mike are going to be in the game, but these still are unconfirmed artists in the game.
Here is teh link
..Daft Punk? Oh hell yes, this is win

Buy it break it fix it leave it now upgrade it.

I will never like Daft Punk. I was too traumatised when I tried to play a simfile for that song.

I am going on a limb here and say that i will more than likely get BOTH games (my little brother has enough money to buy Scratch, which apparently fits HIS style of music, while i am now looking more into DJ Hero as opposed to Scratch)
So hopefully i will update you guys on anything revolving these two AMERICAN DJ games...like most of you guys would even care anyway

They dropped Tiesto? Now you can see where this is going. Mass indifference attack.

I love them that much, and it doesn't seem like Konami wants to give them to me in DDR.
