Game usability testing @valsplat

Recently,  valsplat dipped its toes in the exciting waters of playtesting. And it felt good.

Swords & Soldiers is a critically acclaimed Wii game, about to be released on PlayStation 3. The  Wii controls make the game easy to learn and a lot of fun. The challenge was to match this with the arguably less intuïtve PlayStation controller. For this, a playtest was needed.

Read on gamasutra.com how we set up the test, what Ronimo did with the results and what we learned from the experience.
