Today Activision gave us our first official Aussie glimpse at DJ Hero with the DJ Hero controller. But on top of already beating out EA and Harmonix in the expansive world of electronic-based music, they also took the time to mention the expected Guitar Hero 5 as well as an all-new property Band Hero.
"Guitar Hero has made music social again and has become one of the most popular ways to experience music," said Dan Rosensweig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Guitar Hero franchise. "Today's fans enjoy a variety of music and are looking for more ways to engage with their favorite songs, artists and fellow fans. These games will let them listen, participate and socialise with music in ways they have neverFor the full skinny on the games, check out the press release.

also hardware fails, there's no chin-stroking or train-spotting buttons, or any button to make your dude be a giant queer like this:

Right... give me some of whatever they were on to think this was a good idea.

If you're unfamiliar with Beatmania, it has a manually-rotatable deck + a bunch of buttons. Moving the deck back or forth counts as a button press, and the other buttons work just like buttons, so its more like playing a weird, limited piano.

They saw Beatmania IIDX 1 - 16 do great in japan and thought "Hey we can rip that off and release it here!". And it will prolly do well...ish. I expect the controller to look somewhat similar too.
And a video of Beatmania 15 Troopers - Mendes. The mode he is playing in, Black Another, is pretty much designed to make even the best players fail.

This seems even harder than being a real DJ. Just 1 guy doing that
