There are a lot of reasons why someone might want to check out a guide like T Dub Sanders'. One might be interested in the underside of the game testing field. Others might just want to know what they can gain from a guide that is written to help people understand their role in the gaming industry. Others still are just pining for that ultimate career working alongside game developers and designers.

Whatever the reason, T Dub Sanders has put together one of the biggest and best game testing guides on the market – one that shows the underpinnings of the career in their raw, real format. There are no false promises of automatic testing or sitting at home and playing the newest games for hundreds of dollars a day.

That stuff is all pretty much a pipe dream and most people know it – yet many guide writers try to tell everyone that they can become the biggest and best new game testers in a field that doesn't really exist every day and too many fall for it. On the other hand, what T Dub has put together is a much more realistic, much more comprehensive look at what game testing is really about – the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming someone in charge of all that code each day.

By showing what it really takes to be a game tester, T Dub opens up an actual, realistic path to getting into the industry. He showcases skills needed to get started as a tester, the classes or college majors that people better be willing to invest in if they want to be a professional in this field and much more to help them figure out not only if the career path is right for them but if they are going to be cut out for it. That means a great deal for someone who may or may not know exactly what a game tester does and how it operates.

For anyone that is thinking about taking the path toward becoming a game tester, one of the first things that needs to be done is to learn more about what the career entails. Those people should pick up T Dub's newest guide and get a real insider's look at the job and how it really works. If you're serious about doing what T Dub shows you, you'll be on the fast track toward game testing in no time flat.

Four major points are discussed in the video that demonstrate what Battlefield 4 will have to offer using Frostbite 3: seamless reality, game changing destruction, dynamic ocean combat, and more immersive storytelling.

To hear what DICE has to say on Battlefield 4 and Frostbite 3, and to watch Battlefield 4 in action, click on the video below.

DualShock 4 for PS4 far superior than PS3 and Xbox 360 controller, says Battlefield 4 developer

You are here: Home » News » Battlefield 4 » DualShock 4 for PS4 far superior...

Posted June 26th, 2013 at 05:57 EDT by Steven Williamson16 Comments

Alan Kertz, Lead Core Gameplay Designer for Battlefield 4 believes that the DualShock 4 controller for PlayStation 4 is far superior that the current DualShock and the Xbox 360 controller.

Referring to the DualShock 4 as his “preference for Gen 4”, Kertz used Twitter to compare it to the Xbox 360 controller after being drawn into a debate by a curious Tweeter.

“It's better shape, size, features, texture, triggers, sticks. Everything,” wrote Kertz.

The BF4 developer also eloquently explained how the latest DualShock controller has changed for the better.

“The PS3 DS3 had shit triggers. After PS4 people will say "why the fuck did we use R1 and L1?" wrote Kertz.

This is a big seal of approval from such a respected developer and it sounds like Sony may have learned some crucial design lessons from mistakes made with the DualShock 3.

The PS4 is set to launch later this year and will come bundled with a DualShock 4 controller.

DICE talks Battlefield 4 - 'pushing the limits of what is possible'

You are here: Home » News » Electronic Entertainment Expo [E3... » Battlefield 4 » DICE talks Battlefield 4 - ...

Posted June 18th, 2013 at 06:57 EDT by PSU Staff1 Comments

The next instalment in the award-winning Battlefield series brings its unique blend of frenetic land, sea and air-based battles to PC and current and next-gen consoles on November 1, 2013.

In this latest interview with DICE Studios, Executive Producer Patrick Bach gives us an insight into the gameplay, shows off squad play and gives us a tour of some of the impressive destructible environments.

Battlefield 4 will cater for 24 players online in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, though DICE promises to push that further with 16 vs. 16 battles in the PS4 and Xbox One titles.

Check out the interview…

Rumor: New screens suggest Battlefield 4 will feature boat customization

You are here: Home » News » Battlefield 4 » Rumor: New screens suggest Battl...

Posted June 16th, 2013 at 23:46 EDT by Steve Chaffin4 Comments

While the images cannot be verified for authenticity, a new batch of screenshots found on NeoGAF seem to sugges that not only will Battlefield allow players to rig out their tanks and helicopters with weapondry and camouflage, but they will also be able to fully customize their boats.  

The screens not only reveal a list of twelve different colors available for the boats, but a number of additions and enhancements for the sea-based vehicle, as well, from infrared defeating smoke to anti-aircraft missiles.  If true, boats will become an even more pivotal part of the Battlefield experience.  

You can view all of the leaked screenshots below.  Stay tuned at PSU.com for all the latest on Battlefield 4 and the next generation.

Thanks, VG247.

EA confirms Battlefield: Bad Company 3 is not in development

You are here: Home » News » Battlefield: Bad Company 2 » EA confirms Battlefield: Bad Com...

Posted June 3rd, 2013 at 05:51 EDT by Mike Harradence1 Comments

Electronic Arts has revealed that development is not underway on Battlefield: Bad Company 3.

Fans have been calling out for a follow-up to the much-loved Bad Company 2, but it seems developer DICE is focusing its efforts squarely on Battlefield 4 at present.

“We love the Bad Company series, but don’t have it in active development,” the official Battlefield Twitter commented. “Battlefield 4 is our main focus for the year.”

Bad Company adopts a far more humorous tone to its super-serious stable mate, and has become renowned for its comedic cast and general flippancy in comparison to the core series. Bad Company 2 was released in 2010, so it's been a while since we've seen the franchise in action.

Battlefield 4 is due out in October for PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox 360 and next-generation consoles.

What would you like to see from Bad Company 3? Let us know in the comments section below.
