G4 continues its week-long look at how to get a job in the industry by detailing the role of a video game tester. Tips like that people don't think of include demonstrating your verbal and written skills to explain bugs to the team and avoiding scams. There are many out there trying to prey on naive video game tester wannabes.
Xbox Game Studios, The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics' upcoming reboot of Perfect Dark will offer a Quality and a Performance mode.
Me too.
I expect Hellblade 2 to be the start of a consistent stream of UE5 XGS titles. It's basically their default engine, save for ForzaTech and the proprietary engines in use at Activision and Bethesda.
There's no way it would release in 2021 especially when it was announced at the VGA's 2020.
@lightning, that’s when the first trailer was shown, but it was known to be in development much earlier and Xbox fans were tooting it to be released years ago, the initiative studio formed in 2018, and to my knowledge have not released a game
That’s 6 years and all you got is a trailer and some empty promises
Good one from Microsoft, yet again.
Such is game development, long developmental cycles is one of the big black eyes of the industry. I don't see you complaining about Wolverine that got announced in 2021, releasing in 2026 and only got one trailer.
@ lightning
Nice try but for one, 2021 - 2025 would only be 5 years not 6,
And for two insomniac have developed multiple games or have multiple games in development over that time, and the initiative only have the 1 game to be concerned with
For three, we all know the quality Wolverine will be and although I do hope perfect dark is good, it’s unlikely to be as good as insomniacs proven track record
Good thing they got Crystal Dynamics to make it, at least they know how to make a game that has 60 fps.

And not a Nazgûl in sight.
They should also warn people that game testing is sh*t work and it will ruin your love of gaming.
Video game testing start as fun but it becomes a painful process.
I was taking up Simulation&Game Development @ wake tech one of the courses require to you to test your games. Not to mention you had to present your game in front of the class. If you had one bug in it you would be given a zero.
I had to spend hours testing a game for bugs and glitches, the programmer had to constantly update the game which was also a pain on his end.
