Gamasutra has received a full copy of the lawsuit filed by Genius Products and Numark against 7 Studios and Activision over DJ title Scratch, and runs down the allegation and timeline in detail here.
In analyzing the full 30-page complaint, for those not interested in reading through all of the legal jargon, here are some notable highlights from both the complaint overview and the claimed chronology.
The battle of the DJ's continue! Scratch The Ultimate DJ is calling all DJ's to film themselves scratching to one of the featured tracks in the game. Winners will be featured on the Scratch Ultimate DJ Youtube and will win a truckload of DJ equipment.
WorthPlaying takes a look at a pre-release version of the DJ Hero turntable controller hardware to see what it does right and where it might fall short.
"Getting gamers to shell out for a $60 controller on top of a $60 game is no easy task, especially in this economy. The proof is visible in the sheer number of Guitar Hero and Rock Band band kits that are available at discounted prices from retailers as well as secondhand. Music fans have already spent tons of money on plastic band hardware, so getting them to repeat the task is going to require a great game as well as quality hardware. The developers behind DJ Hero appear to have the former point covered (for more details, be sure to read our hands-on preview), so when Activision sent over a pre-release version of the DJ Hero turntable controller, we decided to see if the latter point held up."
More tracks have been announced for Scratch: The Ultimate DJ, the latest game to be released along the music theme.
