The video above doesn’t show much gameplay or gives you any hints as to the tracks that are on the game but gives you the history of the company that is making the game. Most DJs know the name Numark and Akai, but to us regular geek folk that might be buying the game, those two names mean nothing to us. Names like Activision and Harmonix mean more.
After playing DJ Hero a lot, I think scratch will have decent sales with their game. It looks just like DJ Hero but with a few more buttons that aren’t on the turntable. I foresee it being a competitor just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But it’ll all come down to music tracks. DJ Hero has a lot of tracks I’m in love with, but Numark defintely has connections to more of the hip-hop community.
What do you guys think? Will this new game live up to the standards DJ Hero has laid down?
Full press release after the break.
