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.

Mad Max will have an Australian accent after all, confirms Avalanche

You are here: Home » News » Mad Max will have an Australian ...

Posted July 3rd, 2013 at 08:59 EDT by Mike Harradence0 Comments

Avalanche Studios has confirmed that its forthcoming Mad Max video game will feature a protagonist with an Australian accent.

This may not seem like a big deal at first, but for many fans of the franchise, Avalanche’s original decision to eschew Max’s aussie heritage and plump for a generic U.S. voiceover came as disappointment.

As a result, gamers started out a petition to have Max’s accent changed, and it seems to have paid off.

Writing on Twitter, Avalanche’s Christofer Sundberg commented, “Attn. fans who want Max to have an Aussie accent in #MadMaxGame : It shall be so. We admire your loyalty. You have been heard.”

Mad Max was unveiled during E3 and will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360 in 2014.

Stay tuned to PSU.com for more details.

Thief will also be sneaking onto PS3 and Xbox 360, confirms Eidos

You are here: Home » News » Thief » Thief will also be sneaking onto...

Posted June 20th, 2013 at 12:38 EDT by Mike Harradence1 Comments

Developer Eidos Montreal has confirmed that sneak-‘em-up reboot Thief will also be coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The game was originally believed to be a next-generation and PC exclusive title, though it will now be coming to the current crop of hardware from Sony and Microsoft.

"Since Thief's announcement for a 2014 release on high end PC and next-gen platforms, we've received a huge number of questions from community members wondering if the Thief experience would ever be available for their current generation consoles," said Adam Badke, community manager at Eidos Montreal.

"With full details of the new platforms still emerging, it's understandable that some of our fans are cautious to plunge feet first into the awesomely hot but unchartered waters of the next generation."

Thief was first announced back in 2009 as the fourth instalment in the acclaimed stealth-action series, and later resurfaced earlier this year as a full reboot. The game stars master thief Garrett as he skulks around a Victorian/steampunk-esque metropolis known as The City.

The game is scheduled for release in 2014.

Are you looking forward to Thief? What version will you be picking up? Let us know in the comments section below.

Sony confirms pricing for PS4's first-party titles

You are here: Home » News » Sony confirms pricing for PS4's ...

Posted June 18th, 2013 at 06:56 EDT by Mike Harradence3 Comments

Sony has confirmed that first-party PlayStation 4 titles will retail for $59.99.

Speaking with Shack News, the company said, “We have announced the pricing for our first party line-up of PS4 launch and launch window games. All four titles, Killzone: Shadow Fall, DriveClub, Knack and inFamous Second Son are all $59.99.”

No word yet on pricing for the European market, though we expect to hear something soon enough.

Sony’s pricing strategy for the U.S. falls in line with Microsoft’s own efforts for Xbox One, with first-party titles for that system also retailing for $59.99.

How do you feel about the cost of games for PS4? Is it what you expected, or do you think they’re a bit too expensive for your liking? Sound off in the comments section below.

Medal of Honor dev is no more, confirms EA

You are here: Home » News » Medal of Honor: Warfighter » Medal of Honor dev is no more, c...

Posted June 17th, 2013 at 06:51 EDT by Mike Harradence2 Comments

Danger Close Studios, the development team responsible for Medal of Honor and its sequel MoH: Warfighter, have dissolved, Electronic Arts has confirmed.

While the company no longer exists, EA’s Patrick Soderlund confirmed that much of it has been assimilated into existing companies such as DICE L.A. and other branches of EA.

"Danger Close as it was doesn't exist anymore," he told Eurogamer. "There are people who left L.A., people who work with DICE L.A., and there are some who work in other parts of EA, as always when something gets dismantled."

The future of Danger Close looked bleak following the disappointing critical and commercial performance of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, which was released for multiple formats last year. The game is only the second title in the series following its reasonable-successful reboot in 2010.

However, following the game’s poor showing, EA confirmed that it had taken the Medal of Honor franchise ‘out of rotation’ for the foreseeable future. A new game for PlayStation Vita was reportedly in development prior to Danger Close's closure.

DICE’s Stockholm branch is currently working on a number of high-profile titles, including Mirror’s Edge 2, Battlefield 4 and Battlefront.

Would you like to see Medal of Honor given a second lease of life following Warfighter? Let us know in the comments section below.

Posted June 10th, 2013 at 23:02 EDT by Timothy Weaver3 Comments

At Sony's E3 press conference, President of Sony Computer Entertainment America, Jack Tretton, began taking shots at Microsoft by confirming that the PlayStation 4 will not use DRM (Digital Rights Media) on used games and will allow you to also lend your games and trade them with no restrictions whatsoever. Also, Tretton confirmed that there are no requirements for being online just to play games.

These comments concluded with everyone in the crowd cheering loudly as many fans who were worried that Sony was going to take a DRM-based route, didn't take it. Make sure to keep your eyes posted for more up to date information on E3, here at PlayStation Universe.

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.
