Gears of War: Reloaded

* This game received a Yellow rating for download required due a few bugs that can cause the player to need repeated checkpoint restarts.

First Tester Notes:

* Cutscenes run at 30 FPS, gameplay runs at 60 FPS.

* At the PS5 console Home Screen the games name is displayed as “Pender” instead of the proper title.

* When starting the game a pop up about online services will appear. When selecting continue campaign a pop up about signing in to use network features will appear. Both of these prompts can be dismissed and the game can be started regardless.

* One cutscene played at a low framerate.

* Texture loading/pop in occurs on the environment during some cutscenes and when loading the game.

* When one of the Nemacyst exploded near the player the audio was loud and distorted then cut off early.

* When driving the vehicle in the level “Burnt Rubber” the vehicle can easily get stuck and require a checkpoint reload.

* After killing a Lambent Wretch the arms and legs stretched out and twitched until the body exploded.

* NPC and enemy AI was observed having pathing issues and getting stuck in certain places.

* Final boss got stuck in place during the first attempt and could not be damaged due to their shield never dropping.

Second Tester Notes:

During the beginning of Act 3, there is bright lights rapidly flashing during the prerendred cutscene involving Lambent Wretches that did hurt the tester’s eye. Therefore, it’s best to reduce brightness as the player reaches Act 3.

Dualsense speaker audio did not work, this was after resetting the console and reinstalled the game a couple of times. You can have comms audio played to the TV if the “Dualsense Speaker” option is disabled, however.

While attempting the trophy, “Whack a Grub”, the tester kept getting stuck at the far right Locust hole for the required trophy area and a restart checkpoint is needed. This Trophy was eventually earned however.

No performance issues detected, but having Varible Refresh Rate can help smooth the 120 Frames Per Second. Any pre-rendered cutscenes are still 30 Frames Per Second.
