But it sounds like developer FreeStyleGames hasn't completely given up hope.
Speaking in the latest issue of Edge, the studio revealed ideas on ice for DJ Hero 3 include an expert mode that lets two platters attach to one control unit for a significantly enhanced challenge.
"We're going to have to take a real shift in thinking how music gets licensed, because that's the real blocker at the moment," creative director Jamie Jackson told the mag.
FreeStyleGames revealed earlier this year (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/303814/dj-hero-developer-avoids-closure/) that it's working on "a new, innovative project" for Activision.
