Beta Game Testers Needed: Puppeteer

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.

Puppeteer demo coming to European PS3s with no strings attached

You are here: Home » News » Puppeteer » Puppeteer demo coming to Europea...

Posted June 28th, 2013 at 17:00 EDT by Will Robinson0 Comments

PlayStation Blog reported yesterday that gamers in Europe can expect to see a full demo for the highly anticipated platformer Puppeteer "prior to launch." No details are given beyond that as to when we can expect to see the demo’s release, but we are promised that it will “offer a much deeper representation” of Puppeteer than the demo hitting Japan’s PlayStation Store this week.

The Japanese demo, Puppeteer’s "Rehearsal Edition," is an unconventional approach to a game preview. Instead of jumping into the game’s storyline, the player is put in with the characters, watching them rehearse and build the stage for setting of the game.

The European demo will follow more traditional expectations of game demos. PlayStation Blog also promises that a specific date for the demo’s release will be confirmed soon. There is no mention of a demo planned for North America.

Puppeteer is coming to the PlayStation 3 on September 10, 2013 with a price tag of $39.99. To see more on Puppeteer, check out the E3 trailer below and watch our E3 ViDiary to hear what US Managing Editor Kyle Prahl had to say after getting some hands-on time with the platformer.

Earlier in the month, PSU posted an abundance of E3 videos for the PS3-exclusive platformer Puppeteer, a game reminiscent of LittleBigPlanet and created by SCE Japan Studio. Scheduled to release September 10, 2013 for $39.99, PSU's U.S. Managing Editor Kyle Prahl got the pleasure of playing Puppeteer for the first time at E3. In the video below, Prahl discusses some of the game's fundamental characteristics and shares some of his insight.

For everything E3, from news stories and videos to editorials, stay tuned at PSU.com.

A new E3 trailer appeared on Sony's official PlayStation YouTube account today, featuring SCE Japan Studio's Puppeteer, a side-scrolling platformer PlayStation exclusive that will be hitting store shelves on September 10, 2013 with a $39.99 price tag.

The trailer, less than two minutes long, theatrically reveals some of the game's narrative while depicting much of the type of fluid, platforming gameplay the game has to offer. It also highlights the studio's attention to artistry when developing the title. You can find the video below.

E3 TRAILER

Moreover, Sony has also released three trailers depicting "heads" that enable players to do overcome a variety of circumstances and obstacles. Below you can find trailers for the Pirate's Head, Knight's Head, Ninja Head, and Wrestler's Head respectively:

What are your thoughts on SCE Japan Studio's upcoming platformer? For a gamer overly-accustomed to the darker environments of first-person shooters and survival horror titles, Puppeteer serves as a vibrant reminder of how games can be both a work of lighthearted artistry and an enjoyable, addictive experience. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and discuss it with PSU's awesome community on our message boards. See you there.
