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 Batman game confirmed? Kevin Conroy will voice Batman in 'new Arkham game,' 'not Arkham Origins'

You are here: Home » News » Batman: Arkham Origins » PS4 Batman game confirmed? Kevin...

Posted May 20th, 2013 at 17:14 EDT by Kyle Prahl1 Comments

Yesterday, we reported that storied voice actor Kevin Conroy had put to rest rumors of his non-involvement in Batman: Arkham Origins by announcing to fans at Dallas Comic-Con that he would, in fact, be voicing the Caped Crusader in the "next Arkham game." Well, actually, we noted that his words were ambiguous and could apply to a next-gen Arkham sequel, rather than Warner Bros. Montreal's current-gen prequel.

Looks like we called it! Conroy has confirmed over Twitter that he will be voicing Batman in an Arkham game that is not Arkham Origins. This comes alongside confirmation from numerous press outlets that Roger Craig Smith will be voicing the younger Dark Knight in Arkham Origins. Troy Baker will fill in for Mark Hamill as a younger Joker.

Are you glad to hear that another (probably Rocksteady-developed) Arkham game is in the works? Do you think it's headed for PlayStation 4? Sound off in the comments.

Kyle Prahl finally finished Arkham City a couple nights ago, and he's never been so excited for another Batman game. You can follow him on Twitter.

Kevin Conroy will, in fact, voice Batman in 'next Arkham game'

You are here: Home » News » Batman: Arkham Origins » Kevin Conroy will, in fact, voic...

Posted May 19th, 2013 at 17:01 EDT by Kyle Prahl5 Comments

A few weeks back, we reported that Kevin Conroy, fan-favorite voice actor behind Batman's incarnations in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, would not be returning to voice the world's greatest detective in Batman: Arkham Origins. That news came courtesy of South African gaming magazine NAG, which stated that Warner Bros. was currently on the hunt for a man to replace Conroy's leading role.

Well, Conroy himself has put the rumors to rest, though his words aren't 100 percent, absolutely concrete on the matter. You see, Conroy was answering fan questions at a panel at Dallas Comic-Con over the weekend. During the Q&A, he announced that he had been working on the "next Arkham game" for the past "nine or ten months." He also had rave words to share about the "next Arkham game," calling it "unbelievable," with a "huge cast" and a "big story" that "is just amazing." (Thanks, pixelenemy)

Now, the internet is convinced that this means Conroy will voice Batman in Arkham Origins, but I'm not absolutely sure. The excuse for having a different voice actor give life to Batman in Origins is one of time, and it's logical--a younger Batman would have a younger voice, perhaps less raspy and world-weary. Meanwhile, we have no idea what Rocksteady, the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City developer, is working on. Warner Bros. Montreal is handling Arkham Origins, which makes me think Rocksteady could be prepping the "next Arkham game" as a next-generation sequel, with Conroy behind the Batcowl yet again.

Of course, Conroy also said during the Dallas Comic-Con Q&A that a non-disclosure agreement is what kept him from confirming the news until now, so it's unlikely that he's spilling the beans on a next-gen Batman game. Give us your take in the comments below, and stay glued to PSU for more on the Arkham series as it breaks.
