New Ghost Recon

[kris1580]

Do they usually have their own testers for the new games or do they get people from outside to test? Kind of like they do for COD...just curious cause I would like to be a tester for the new Ghost Recon whenever its set for testing.

to be a tester requires a college degree believe it or not.

Huh?

[featherfoot07]

Yeah, it really does. You have to go to school to be able to be paid to test games. Crazy world we live in right.....?

[slowPoke-m4]

Yeah, cuz Serellen wouldn't know what he is talking about... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/blink.gif

Game testing sounds like a really sucky job.. This is a pretty good writeup of how some of it is done. And it sounds like they'll take pretty much anybody with a pulse.

Long time so see Serellan, I'm honored that you pop on just to pwn me, lol.


But anyway, I was meaning to have career in gaming with a salary and longevity. Not a job that might last a month at minimum wage.

Ah, well techinically you don't require a degree to get into the industry. I didn't have one when I got in, although I did get one since.

And I know plenty of great testers that don't have degrees.

And with your edit, you notice it lists "plusses" as a degree. Not required.

[klownsnypr]

Yeah I noticed that. When I was in high school I did some looking around and they did require a degree. Times have changed, btw devry sucks.

[MeanMF]

I would also make a distinction between a "Software developer in test" and a play tester.. Very different.
