Consumers sure seem to appreciate the differences between the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS, so maybe it's about time that developers caught on too.

Consumers sure seem to appreciate the differences between the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS, so maybe it's about time that developers caught on too. The latest illustration of this lack of understanding is the DS port of Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command, which has been shifted over from the PSP with few changes. Developer RedLynx decided not to take advantage of the Nintendo system's unique amenities or seriously enhance the interface of this turn-based tactical simulation. Instead, it pretty much just slapped the overhead map onto the second screen and decided to live with atrocious visuals. The result is a game that's just about as hard to control as it is to look at, not quite unendurable but certainly not enjoyable.
Well, missions would be tense if you could see everything properly. Visuals in Squad Command appear to have been directly ported over from the PSP with no consideration for how the game would perform or look on the graphically inferior DS. This results in choppy frame rates that make it a challenge just to smoothly scroll the camera across battlefields. Also, much of the fine detail apparent on the PSP has been obscured by big ugly pixels on the DS. This ruins the accurate depiction of Warhammer miniatures that was one of the big strengths of the PSP version.. The fantastic cutscenes in the PSP edition have been removed here as well.. This also wrecks a lot of the great Warhammer vibe present in the PSP game.
