DS version of Defcon on the way News

DS News by Ellie Gibson

20 April, 2009

A DS version of hit PC title Defcon is currently in the works.

That's according to developer Introversion, which is currently seeking a publishing partner. The DS game was originally going to be released with the help of distributor Pinnacle, which has since gone bust.

For those who aren't familiar, Defcon is an action-strategy affair inspired by classic movie War Games. BRODERICK. The PC version was ever so much fun, and scored a healthy 8 out of 10 in our review.

Stylus controls, a unique game mechanic and all the thrills and chills of the original are promised for Defcon DS. Introversion expects the game to hit the shelves this autumn.

Not interested unless online multiplayer is included.

Multiplayer is essential.

If done correctly, it could be fantastic.

Brilliant game, stunning yet simple and engaging with one of the best sound design / music elements in a game of recent years. Don't change a thing for the DS please.

Plus DS darwinia please.

This is a multiplayer game - I don't think Introversion are about to forget that. So yeah, this is excellent.

(/Is hoping for rumble features, since the PC version has them coded...)

What Grump said - no online multiplayer, no buy!

I'd like a DS version of Uplink, that would be pretty awesome. But yeah I'd certainly get Defcon

They'd have to be stupid not to include online multiplayer, and Introversion (as far as I can tell) are not stupid.

If they're going to charge £25 or more for this, I just cannot see it being a success.

Excellent game, though I would have also preferred their hacker game uplink instead :)

Nice!

I actually suggested this as a pitch for the company I was working at 2.5 years ago to get more projects signed. Did a mock-up an' everything.

It could work! :)
