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.

PS4 version of Gran Turismo 6? 'We do have plans for PS4,' confirms Yamauchi

Posted May 18th, 2013 at 16:24 EDT by Kyle Prahl5 Comments

The biggest PlayStation news of this last week was the announcement of Gran Turismo 6 for PlayStation 3. The reveal seemed weird to some--why would GT6 launch on PS3 with PlayStation 4 right around the corner? Any confusion was cleared up when SCEE CEO Jim Ryan revealed that Gran Turismo 5 had to date sold 10 million units on PS3.

Still, it seems that a PS4 version of Gran Turismo 6 is pretty likely after all. Earlier this week, we reported that Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi told IGN that his studio had a PS4 version of GT6 "in mind." In an interview with GTPlanet, Yamauchi elaborated, indicating that a planned PS4 version may be more concrete than simply "in mind."

bold added for emphasis

When asked why Polyphony decided to focus on PS3 as the release platform, Yamauchi answered, "We do have plans for PS4, but, of course, we have an order of things. First we’ll be releasing the PS3 version for the PS3, which has a huge audience already, and we’ll be providing updates every month and DLCs every month." He continued: "Once players have played it all out and enjoyed themselves on the PS3, then the PS4 version might come out naturally around that time. Focus on enjoying the PS3 version."

Which leaves Gran Turismo fans wondering: how far apart will the games come out? Is it worth buying the PS3 version if you're also planning to buy a PS4 launch? Until we hear more, it will be hard to say, but E3 2013 may have some answers. We'll be covering the event live here at PSU.com, so stay tuned for coverage and give us your thoughts on Gran Turismo 6's ambiguous release plans in the comments below.
