Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has confirmed that DJ Hero – basically Guitar Hero with turntables – is in development and will be released later this year.
The game will come with a plastic deck and will demand that you tap along to dance music.
“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,” said Kotick in the CNBC video that we linked to earlier.
No formats were mentioned.
We’re still waiting for Triangle Hero.
Thanks, EG.

It seems like a good idea, yet impossible to pull off correctly with good sounding remixes whilst retaining some sort of fun and competitive edge. I reckon it’ll be a much less complex version of music 2000/mtv music generator games except you’re compelled to use the peripheral and there will be some way of it making you lose – other than making terrible sounding remixes and hurting your own ears (any ideas?! Unless they could somehow judge a “bad” mash-up from a “good” one and make you fail for doing bad remixes)

We’ll get Pop ‘n Music when Activision decides to release it as Pop’n Hero and all of a sudden people start paying attention to it despite Konami having mastered it several years earlier and nobody gave a shit.
I was playing bemani titles nearly 10 years ago, yet most people seem to have only just discovered the rhythm action genre.
