Providing a gentle reminder that DJ Hero won't be the only turntable game on the market for long, publisher Genius Products has issued a new trailer that details Scratch: The Ultimate DJ's "scratch deck" controller and compares it to real DJ equipment.

Now in the hands of Commotion, Scratch is due on PS3 and Xbox 360 in early 2010.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

    HOT, but...

    Seriously I think I am gona get that when it comes out, but my biggest question and the reason I did not get DJ Hero.

    Can you make your own mixes? Can you upload your own MP3s? Can you save your own Samples?

    Some of these features are the whole point of DJing, anyone know if this one will have those features?

      I have no idea, but the way this controller is designed makes it seem like it will certainly be possible to make your own mix with samples included in the game. The fact that they replicated MPC pads is encouraging. As far as implementing your own samples, that sounds like it would be more complicated to put into a game.

      It's still just a game, and if someone wants all these advanced features, they probably own their own DJ equipment already.

        What does an MPC pad have to do with DJing? Producing and DJing are two totally different things :O

        Also the crossfader is quite small.

          MPC pads are frequently used by DJs during live sets to augment what they are doing with the turntables, either by playing back samples or playing a live beat. This is what I was referring to.

        Technology is at a point where putting Professional features from Pro Audio equipment into a game peripheral isn't uncanny at all. Especially for the amount of money they charge for them.

      If I'm not mistaken it was confirmed a while ago that you could import and make your own mixes

      Don't quote me on it but search around; for some reason I distinctly remember them saying that
