DJ Hero officially announced
Speaking to CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has confirmed the existence of DJ Hero, a peripheral-based game that will come packaged with a turntable and recording deck, as the game focusses on the experience of becoming a DJ.
Regarding innovation at Activision Blizzard and the game industry in general, Kotick confirmed the news:
“We have this product called DJ Hero coming out later this year, which is a turntable that you actually can play competitively and spin discs and mix songs.”
DJ Hero’s existence, until now, has only been mentioned as a rumour based on assumptions, so it’s nice to see an official announcement from the head cheese himself.

And of course, another gaming peripheral to fit into the clutter that's now bedevilling the lounge of every gamer worldwide. So let's see, that's 2 guitars, 3 microphones, a drum set, racing wheels, a pair of dance mats, and about 6 or 7 controllers? Have I missed anything? Oh yes...the Buzz controllers!
Jeez...gaming peripherals are becoming a joke!
While I luckily don't have the problem of being inundated with peripherals, it's becoming an issue, especially when people have been buying the Guitar Hero series from the beginning and are also buying Rock Band. It's ridiculous.
People will soon need to dedicate an entire room just for music games!
And that's the way it should be :). What about Bongo Drums, don't forget those.
