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.

Disney Infinity gameplay video shows how you can create a game in any genre

Posted June 10th, 2013 at 04:28 EDT by Steven Williamson1 Comments

At a pre-E3 event in Los Angeles, Disney Interactive has showcased Disney Infinity, a brand new innovation that takes advantage of both Disney and Pixar characters and storylines.

Disney Infinity takes its inspiration from Skylanders, the game where players could buy models of their favourite characters to use them in-game. Characters include Jack Sparrow, Mr Incredible and Sully from Monsters University. Each character will have its own storyline while a Toy Box mode will allow players to create brand new worlds and game modes.

Up to four players will be supported and users will be able to share their created content.

The video below shows how to game’s Toy Box mode could be used to create a game from every conceivable genre.

Disney Infinity is due to launch on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U and PC on August 18.

Microsoft's epic fail as E3 teaser shows PS4's Killzone: Shadow Fall

You are here: Home » News » Electronic Entertainment Expo [E3... » Killzone: Shadow Fall » Microsoft's epic fail as E3...

Posted June 6th, 2013 at 07:22 EDT by Mike Harradence6 Comments

PlayStation 4’s Killzone: Shadow Fall has set tongues wagging all over the web since its unveiling back in February, but the last place we expected it to receive air time is on Microsoft’s own Facebook page.

Indeed, it seems the Big M made a major blunder today when teasing its E3 games showcase, with Microsoft Netherland's Facebook page posting a screenshot of Shadow Fall for all to see. Or perhaps they’re just a closet fan of Guerrilla Games’ acclaimed sci-fi shooter series and couldn't contain their anticipation -- who knows?

The game appears alongside the likes of Forza 5, Call of Duty: Ghosts and the new Madden. Check it out below.

Still, whatever gets the word around, eh folks?

Thanks to PSU forum member 'Wrath' for the tip

PS4 Watch Dogs mo-cap video shows brutal combat and skillful parkour

You are here: Home » News » Watch_Dogs » PS4 Watch Dogs mo-cap video show...

Posted June 1st, 2013 at 16:26 EDT by Kyle Prahl1 Comments

A new developer documentary for Ubisoft's open-world hackathon Watch Dogs shows off the motion capture process for protagonist Aiden Pearce, as played by mo-cap actor Sébastien Rouleau.

What makes this vignette especially interesting is hearing that Rouleau is actually more athletic than Ubisoft envisions Aiden Pearce to be. As such, while Rouleau can pull off the parkour and combat moves that bring Aiden to life, the animators have to periodically slow down the mo-cap footage to more realistic levels.

We also get a taste of Aiden's fighting style, which is dirty and to-the-point. This cunning tech-master wastes no time putting the hurt on his opponents in whatever ways possible--you won't find stylized kung-fu or exaggerated techniques here.

Check out the video below, and tell us in the comments what you hope to see from Ubisoft and Watch Dogs at E3.

Kyle Prahl thought Watch Dogs was E3 2012's Game of Show, and he's curious to see if it can possibly repeat this year. You can follow Kyle on Twitter and Facebook.

Mirror's Edge 2 rumors gather steam as listing shows up on EA's website

You are here: Home » News » Mirror's Edge 2 rumors gather st...

Posted May 30th, 2013 at 06:26 EDT by Mike Harradence5 Comments

Fresh evidence supporting the development of a sequel to Mirror’s Edge has reared its head today, after a listing for the game appeared on ‘help’ section of Electronic Arts’ website.

There’s not much to see unfortunately, with the page simply listing ‘Mirror’s Edge 2’ and that’s about it.

The game also showed up on a few retail listings in the past week or so, most recently for Xbox One on Amazon Italy.

Of course, publisher Electronic Arts has yet to officially announce a follow-up to the 2008 cult classic, but has always maintained it hadn’t given up on the franchise. As such, chatter on a sequel has been doing the rounds for the past couple of years.

With E3 just around the corner, Mirror’s Edge 2 could very well become a reality in the next two weeks.
