We found out yesterday that DJ Hero was 2009's highest grossing IP, so it should come as no surprise that DJ Hero 2 is already shaping up to be huge. FreestyleGames' Chris Lee dropped some tease on the sequel this week:
"We're already talking to some of the most incredible musicians on the planet about working together down the line, so who knows what the future holds," Lee tells CVG. "As for new features, we've had a host of great ideas and requests. Way too many to mention."
I'm glad they didn't go with crap musicians. All kidding aside, it's nice to know that they're working with requests.
"We're getting lots of requests for specific tracks and artists, so we'll work hard to explore what we can do."
Let's see if they can make 2010 work out to be just as good of a year for them.

La Roux: Confirmed.
Still excited to see what David Guetta has to bring to the game, although if they're taking requests, I gotta ask for some London Elektricity.
Oh, and let's get a little less American here. Sure, we had Daft Punk, but there's waaaaay too many awesome French and European artists that need to pop up in this game. Like the aforementioned La Roux.
Also, I will not rest until I see Pendulum in this game.
When most big-name games release at a price-point between $50-60, all of a sudden a higher gross for DJ Hero doesn't seem very impressive. A number of other media sources already noted the game missed its sales targets by a huge margin and sold poorly enough to be considered a flop.
As for variety, more jungle and DnB would be awesome. Throw in more hip hop from the Rhymesayers/Def Jux/Living Legends circle, guilty pleasures like Lady Gaga and I'll have my "Game that was like made for me 2010".
could have mentioned one then
But it made them alot of money so I doubt they care.
Plus MW2 made up for that margin so overall their year was good. DJ Hero really was just extra fluff in their already insanely soft cushion. Had DJ Hero been a dealbreaker or had MW2 not been so big I doubt they would have even taken the risk.
Why wouldn't you want to add to the sales numbers? Why break my heart?
Also, $66.99
I guess it's possible they got Radiohead....unlikely though.
DJ Hero really surprised me, and I can't for more, but they've only had 2 track packs so far. I know they have to create the mixes, but still.
More Daft Punk is always good. There is so much good stuff they could put in this game. So many artists.
X-Ecutioners.
That seems to a bit limiting to me.
And that song which has Vanilla Ice AND MC Hammer in it. I don't think a better combination of awesome exists.
