Activision boss Bob Kotick has admitted that DJ Hero did not get ‘it’ right, whatever ‘it’ is. Speaking to Game Informer, Bob said;
…if you’re going to make a commitment to doing something original, the odds are that you’re not going to get it right on the first chance. I think DJ Hero is a really innovative product. I can’t wait for you to see next year’s. That’s the thing; we’re sticking with it. We’ll stick with it and get it right.
Mr. Kotick’s remarks came after he read my thoughts on DJ Hero. Shortly after the article was posted, Bob called TSA Towers* and thanked us for pointing out Activision’s mistakes.
“I’m such a silly old pudding!”, Bob apologised*, “It won’t happen again I promise*.”
DJ Hero 2 been officially confirmed for 2010 with ‘friend to the one from Destinys Child who isn’t Beyonce’ and chart botherer, DJ David Guetta, rumoured to be on board.

Whats the chances its simply a new tracklist?
ORRRR a new perihpiral completely that will just piss off everyone who bought the last game.

David Guetta is a step in the right direction, bit without a lower price tag, my £100 will more likely be spent on real vinyl.

O.o They STILL want to make DJ Hero 2? I don’t think it will be nearly as successful, now that the novelty has worn off.

doesn’t that apply to almost all the music games now?
they’re all little more than track updates.
would be better if they made a standard version and then just let you buy the songs you want as they make them available, gotta be cheaper for them too with no physical shipping and production costs.
but then activision do love their plastic crap don’t they.

I don’t understand this. “We messed up so we are gonna make a sequel”?? Isn’t that like trying to make Pearl Harbour 2 and expecting everyone to go and see it this time

I don’t know… I messed my pants once and made a sequel, even bigger and better than the first so I guess it could work.

Sorry Bob, Activision royally ballsed it up. Worse still, you’re gonna balls it up even more with a sequel.
In my humble opinion this game can’t be ‘gotten right’
