Question

if you were developing a game for the sony ps4, what type of game candidate would you submit to sony so they could do their own intensive testing and send back a bug report highlighting a list of issues that would need to be fixed before the game could get an all - clear for sale?
silver bullet candidate
release candidate
gold master candidate
bronze beta candidate

Explanation:

A Gold Master Candidate is the version of a game that is submitted for final testing before release. It is the most complete and polished version at that stage, ready for the publisher (like Sony in this case) to do their intensive testing and provide a bug report for final fixes before the game can be cleared for sale. A Release Candidate is also a term used in software/game development but Gold Master Candidate is the specific term in the context of game submission for final - stage publisher testing. Silver Bullet and Bronze Beta are not standard terms in this specific game - submission - for - final - testing context.

Answer:

Gold Master Candidate
