As a parting question, one of the reports asks how ActiBliz is handling the changing demands of the consumers and how they cope with trying to deliver more creative games. Kotick's answer:

QUOTE said:
We have this product called DJ Hero coming out later this year which is a turntable that you can actually play competitively, spin discs, and mix songs on. This physical interface is definitely starting to have a real impact on the consumer. Online is creating a much more social experience than videogames have had before. You're continuing to see lots of innovation that's adding lots of new audiences.

Either it will be like:

1) Guitar Hero - will be really popular and will have endless sequels and spin-offs e.g DJ Hero: Basshunter or something

OR

2) Wii Music - it will suck because of the bland gameplay and such but it will sell a lot because it will carry GH's tail to fame.

But we'll see...

... Right, I'll just go and play Guitar Hero now. This doesn't appeal to me at all. Let's hope the Guitar Hero or *insert name here* Hero keeps selling well, but I hope the games won't start sucking all of a sudden because they want to sell it too badly.

... Sweet, i can save my money on something. I dont see my self playing this at all.
Im more into Heavy Metal, then the Techno/Hip-Hop/Crap.. I mean Rap that will be on this im sure.

Come on GH: Metallica!
although I prefer RB2, Metallica is too amazing to pass up.

Sounds really tedious and the "dance" music evolved would probably be the trashy stuff.

DJ Hero: Apex Twin I'd be interested in.

Great. So first they rip off Guitar Freaks & DrumMania with Guitar Hero and Rock Band, NOW they rip off BEATMANIA?? Are they going to rip off Keyboardmania next? Konami is the only company that can create innovative and original music games without ripping off the ideas of others like these companies do. I love how these companies get acclaim and awards by the typical ignorant American gamer for being "Innovative" Give a me a break, this is a blatant rip off of Beatmania, i hope they get sued for this. Not to mention, it will be really easy just like the other American music games are. Sorry for my rant, this just pisses me off. Granted, Konami fucked up by not bringing their series of music games here and the ones they did bring here, they did not promote properly. HOWEVER, if you are going to blatantly rip off someone else original idea, don't take credit for being innovative, when all you did was steal another companies creation.

  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon what do you plan on doing with the 2nd unit? family member? resale?
