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 vs Xbox One - Sony winning war of numbers

Posted June 24th, 2013 at 12:11 EDT by PSU Staff7 Comments

Until both Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation of consoles launch and we get to spend some quality time with them, one of the only ways to judge PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is through the war of numbers and specifications that both parties have thrown at us.

In terms of specifications, Sony appears to be on top though it's really going to dependon how much developers push the technology on both platforms. Take a look at price, PS4 wins hands-down coming in considerably cheaper than the Xbox One. Examine the exclusives and new franchises and once again Sony comes up trumps.

While Microsoft will release 15 exclusives and eight new IPs within Xbox One’s first year, Sony claims it will have 20 PS4 exclusives with twelve new IPs in year one.

At E3 earlier this month, Sony revealed a host of exclusive titles including Killzone: ShadowFall, The Order: 1886, inFamous: Second Son and Driveclub, but that’s just the beginning . At GamesCom, which is held in Germany each year, it looks like Sony plans to showcase the second round of PlayStation exclusive titles.

Speaking with Gamesreactor, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO Jim Ryan said “there’s a lot more coming” and told readers that more will be revealed at GamesCom.

"I’m sure you heard from [SCE Worldwide Studios boss] Shu [Yoshida] that he has—just his studios—he has 30 games in development. 20 of them are going to ship within the first year of the console’s life, and of those, 12 are new IP, “ said Ryan.

"So there’s a lot going on, it’s just that we need to keep stuff back. We’ve got Gamescom for us Europeans—we need to have something to show at Gamescom, don’t we?"

The PS4 and Xbox One is due to release later this year, with rumours suggesting a November launch date. Do numbers matter to you? Which console will you be buying?
