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's Killzone: Shadow Fall download split into single-player, multiplayer

You are here: Home » News » Killzone: Shadow Fall » PS4's Killzone: Shadow Fall down...

Posted June 19th, 2013 at 08:25 EDT by Mike Harradence2 Comments

PlayStation 4 will allow users to split their download of Killzone: Shadow Fall into two distinct flavours: single-player and multiplayer.

That’s according to a new PS4 video interface video, which showcases how one can happily plug away at a game (in this case, Knack) before seamlessly transition to the PlayStation Store to purchase Killzone and then returning to your game.

Those of you who are perhaps more interested in playing one particular aspect of a title like Killzone will no doubt be pleased you can opt to download the area which interests you most first without having to wait for the full product.

What do you think of PS4’s new download interface? Are you the type to download separate components of a game or do you instead prefer to grab the full product in a single move? Let us know in the comments section below.

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussDownloading movies from the Internet has become a good option due to the growth of file sharing technologies and the availability of high-speed network connections. If you have a good Internet connection and some free space on your hard drive, you can easily learn how to download a movie even if you are a novice computer user.

Edit Steps

Method One: Free Sources1Be aware of the legality. In most jurisdictions, downloading a movie that you are not purchasing legitimately, and don't already own on another format (such as a DVD), is in violation of copyright laws.

Films which are in the public domain will not be subject to this rule; they are free to use and not governed by any intellectual property laws. Be careful to address the legality of downloading a particular film before you begin.2Download and install a BitTorrent client. While many other file sharing protocols exist, BitTorrent is the most effective and popular method for downloading feature-length films. To use this method, you will need to install a piece of client software on your computer. Many of these applications are available for free; some of the most popular clients are Tixati, Vuze, Transmission, and uTorrent.

3Search for the movie on a BitTorrent search engine. After installing your torrent client software, you can download the torrent file for the movie you wish to watch.

The best way to do this is to search for the film on a torrent search engine. These sites are often available for a limited time, however, as they are subject to shut down by law enforcement officials.You can also find torrent files using a regular search engine. A torrent file has a ".torrent" extension, and is actually just a text file telling your torrent client where to download the pieces of the movie.4Load the torrent file into your BitTorrent software to begin the download. Double-click on the torrent file to load it into your torrent client. The download should begin automatically. Once the file has downloaded completely, leave the torrent software open for several hours to allow other users to download the file from you. This will improve your "torrent ratio," and will allow you to download additional files more quickly.

5Open the movie file in a media player application. Once the torrent has finished downloading, your client software will save the actual video file on your hard drive (check the settings in your torrent software to determine where the file is saved). Double-click the file to open it in your default media player. You can safely delete the torrent file itself once the video clip has finished downloading.

Method Two: Paid Sources1Visit an online movie site. The easiest and most worry-free way of downloading movies is to buy them from a reputable source. Companies such as Netflix and Apple have led the way, offering movies for both rent and purchase, many other companies have sprung up offering inexpensive alternatives to purchasing a DVD.

If you're an avid movie watcher, having an online account with Netflix costs about eight dollars a month, and delivers more movies than you can watch in a lifetime!For very new movies, Apple frequently offers movies that are still showing in the theaters. Until the film leaves the theaters, though, you'll usually have to purchase the movie at about the price of a normal DVD.2Set up an account. Before you get started downloading movies and throwing a popcorn-and-B-night extravaganza, you'll need to sign up for an account. Usually this involves nothing more than an email address and username.

Some companies, such as Netflix or Hulu, use a subscription method. You pay a low, flat fee every month for unlimited downloads. This is great if you like to watch a lot of movies, and don't want to hassle with payments every time the movie mood strikes you.Companies like Apple or CinemaNow (BestBuy) offer pay-as-you-go rental or purchase, and can be significantly more expensive than subscription services—especially if you love movies—but they also tend to offer more current content, and content from premium cable channels such as HBO and Showtime.Movie download sites such as Yaboon and its affiliates offer "10,000" movies, and require that you fill your account with at least $20 before you can purchase a movie, though the prices per movie are very reasonable.3Browse the directory of movies. No matter which option you choose, with thousands of movies available on each of these sites, the first thing you'll want to find is a way to narrow your options. Many sites have a genre column, so that you can quickly focus only on topics that interest you.

Feeling like you want to revisit the dark side of 50s and 60s cinema? Click on "Film Noir." If that's too dark, try "Comedy" or "Drama" instead.If you're wanting to locate particular movies or actors, there should be a search field at the top of the page.4Download the movie. When you've found a movie to your liking, click the appropriate button. On services such as Yaboon, it's a simple click of the Download button. For sites that offer options, such as Apple, you'll see both a Buy and a Rent button. Whichever button fits your needs, click it. Your movie will download, and depending on the speed of your connection, you could be watching in just a few minutes!

Edit TipsDon't like watching movies on a computer? Get an Apple-TV, Roku, or Boxee set-top box, and stream iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, and much more directly onto your television—in high-definition.Torrents files with a large number of "seeders" (users who are sharing the whole file) will download the fastest.Before entering credit card information, do a little research and make sure that you're working with a reputable company.Pay-for sites often make the films available for smart phones and tablets as well as computers.Before signing up for a download website, create an email address on Yahoo or Gmail just for that site. Often times, email lists are sold to third parties—which can quickly result in a flood of spam.The website Archive.org maintains a large database of public domain films. If the film in which you're interested is public domain, consider checking for it on this site (or a similar site) first.If downloading a movie over Bit torrent keep your antivirus up to date as viruses lurk in those files.

PS4 PlayGo 'play as you download' feature detailed for Killzone: Shadow Fall

You are here: Home » News » Killzone: Shadow Fall » PS4 PlayGo 'play as you download...

Posted May 30th, 2013 at 17:33 EDT by Will Robinson5 Comments

During Sony’s PlayStation Meeting back in February, one of the key features shared about PlayStation 4 was its ability to play games as you download them. So far, Sony has yet to reveal much information on how this functionality works. Thanks to a new developer diary released today, we know how Killzone: Shadow Fall will be able to do this.

“You can play it while it’s downloading,” states Guerilla Games' technical director Michiel van der Leeuw. “You’re going to download a chunk of the game, you get the menu and the first level and while you’re playing the first level it downloads the second level in the background.”

Killzone: Shadow Fall was one of our first looks into the next generation of gaming on PlayStation 4, and its debut is eagerly awaited. Set as a PS4 launch title, Killzone: Shadow Fall’s release date is still unknown.

Are you excited for a new Killzone? What do you think of the “play as you download” feature? How do you think this feature will work with games like open-world RPGs? Let us know in the comments below!

The Last of Us digital copy lets you play as you download

You are here: Home » News » The Last of Us » The Last of Us digital copy lets...

Posted May 17th, 2013 at 05:07 EDT by Mike Harradence6 Comments

Gamers will be able to play The Last of Us as it is downloaded from the PlayStation Store, developer Naughty Dog has confirmed to GameInformer.

Specifically, The Last of Us can be played after the download has hit the half-way mark, but that’s still a massive step-up from where we are today.

This feature was among one of the major selling points of the PlayStation 4 during its New York City reveal back in February. However, it is apparent now that Sony is already implementing it for PS3 games.

The Last of Us will be made available for download alongside its physical counterpart on June 14.
