DJ Shadow for DJ Hero? Here's hoping so!

Got some thoughts of whose music you’d love to hear included in the game? Me too!

Computerandvideogames.com have had previously hinted that Tiesto may be involved, quoting him as having saying “I am very excited about this! I think this is a great way to introduce people into Djing. Maybe they realize it’s not as easy as they think. I am sure this brings new fans to the scene, dance music is not far from hip-hop for example. Hopefully the music I have composed appeals to all kinds of fans!” Unfortunately this rumour is completely unfounded.

MC Hammer on his Twitter status has commented he is working on a game with Activision, the publishers of DJ hero.  It is unknown if it is infact DJ Hero or another title that is in production.

thedailyswarm.com – DJ Shadow, whos involvement is assumed due to him DJing @ SXSW with a DJ Hero banner behind him. The second DJ is Z-Trip also identified in the article.  Additionally, Daft Punk are rumored to be part of the game but no source is cited for this.

DJ AM has self confirmed his involvement in the game via Twitter, but this has yet to be confirmed by Activision.

Activision CFO Thomas Tippl has said “We continue to add additional legs to the Guitar Hero franchise with the launch of DJ Hero. What that allows us to do is come up with a very innovative product that allows us to sell a software product plus a hardware product as a bundle so that should be good for our average selling prices. But it also allows us to bring in new users to the music genre. Because it is a different kind of music for a different kind of gamer. So we hope to broaden the base there.”
