The excitement lasts until I spin it and get an invitation to purchase a rare car. I've only ever received three invitations to purchase a rare car and every single invitation has been for the exact same Porsche, despite there being plenty other cars that need an invitation to purchase.

    Like many others, my biggest beef with the game are the ridiculous non-random roulette tickets, micro transactions, overly expensive cars, and hiding fun game features like rare cars, engine swaps, etc. behind the broken roulette system.

    The developer greed is hard not to notice with this game. Even though it's fun to play, I can't give it any better of a score due to the blatant disrespect shown to us players.    … Expand

    First I need to say: never play SONY Gran Turismo 7 in "Ray Tracing enabled" mode, because the quality is terrible, it seems to be playing on a SONY PS3, the image resolution at the time of rendering seems to be reduced to 720p and it seems to be just stretched to 1080p/2160p.

    And even in Performance mode, which will present the best graphics quality and resolution (it appears to be    First I need to say: never play SONY Gran Turismo 7 in "Ray Tracing enabled" mode, because the quality is terrible, it seems to be playing on a SONY PS3, the image resolution at the time of rendering seems to be reduced to 720p and it seems to be just stretched to 1080p/2160p.

    And even in Performance mode, which will present the best graphics quality and resolution (it appears to be rendered at 1080p) still the graphics quality of the SONY Gran Turismo 7 game is absolutely disappointing, considering the 9.2 TFLOPs of graphics capacity promised by SONY for the SONY PS5.

    Just to give you an idea, the Take-Two GTA5 (SONY PS4 Pro version) looks better graphically than the SONY GT7 on the SONY PS5 console.

    In fact, running SONY Drive Club game (SONY PS4 version as it was never remastered even for SONY PS4 Pro), through Backward Compatibility mode on SONY PS5, SONY Drive Club still looks better graphically than GT7 on SONY PS5.

    When I say GRAPHICALLY, I'm referring to how real (close to reality) the image looks, I'm not referring to frames per second or resolution.

    Honestly, my disappointment is such that I would rather pay this price for the SONY Drive Club game remastered for SONY PS5 than this SONY Gran Turismo 7 game that disappointed me horribly in terms of Graphics Quality.

    SONY, forget about Ray Tracing, we want Quality Graphics!

    When it comes to gameplay, I still prefer SONY Drive Club. The only things I like about Gran Turismo 7 are the Museum, the Car Mall, and the fact that it's the same Car Simulator that follows the pattern of the Gran Turismo series, in addition to keeping the same Tracks from the series, as I did.

    But Graphically, the picture is so disappointing that I feel that I was assaulted by the high price charged by SONY for this SONY GT 7 game with these graphics that when playing on SONY PS5, it looks like they are actually being run by SONY PS4 Pro when it is running. in "Performance mode", and appears to run on a SONY PS3 when running in "Ray Tracing mode enabled".

    But the worst thing about a game, which is marketed in physical media, is the internet connection required to play, especially Career and/or Single Player mode.
    In fact, I really liked being able to play with split screen, me and 03 friends competing, with the screen divided into 04, using the same Console.

    That's why it's not worth buying the SONY PS5 or the SONY PS4... oh, how much regret.... The best is GT 6 on SONY PS3, there's no way... Besides, I have a 3D Projector with Active 3D glasses, and I have many Blu-ray Disc 3D movies, but only SONY PlayStation 3 supports 3D.

    SONY PS5 and SONY PS4/PS4 Pro will have an advantage over SONY PS3 only in the fact that it supports SONY PS VR, but the graphics quality on SONY PS5 should be much better than SONY PS4/PS4 Pro on VR.

    Anyway, the best game for SONY PS4/PS4 Pro & SONY PS5 is without a doubt the game: SONY Drive Club.
    The last best SONY Gran Turismo was GT6 for Career mode, and GT Sport for graphics.

    But between GT Sport and Drive Club, I prefer Drive Club, especially since Drive Club's graphics are better even than GT7's graphics (which are already better than GT Sport's graphics).
    That is, Drive Club is better than all games in the Gran Turismo series, including Gran Turismo 7, Drive Club is better, especially in graphics quality.

    GT7 is better than GT Sport in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT7 is the worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    GT Sport is better than GT6 in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT Sport is the second worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.

    GT6 is the best game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    On SONY PS3, there is no better racing game than GT6.
    On SONY PS4/PS4 PRO, PS5 there is no better racing game than SONY Drive Club, although it has not been remastered even for the PS4 Pro, so there will never be a remastered version for the PS5.

    The studio that produced SONY Drive Club was shut down by SONY for making the game stupidly better (in graphic quality) and better looking than any other racing game, humiliating the Gran Turismo series games in such a way that SONY shut it down. the Studio that produced Drive Club, in addition, SONY forbade the remastering of the Drive Club game for SONY PS4 Pro and SONY PS5, as the game was so graphically beautiful that it would make people repulse spending money and play Gran Turismo games.

    Gran Turismo Sport was released to try to make people forget about Drive Club, but the failure of "advance in graphics quality" between GT Sport and GT7 is so massive that it's impossible not to compare it to Drive Club and note that both, GT Sport and GT7, are inferior to the Drive Club, graphically.

    I recommend your last GT game to be GT6, only available for SONY PS3. If you have a SONY PS4/PS4 Pro/PS5, I strongly recommend, just play Drive Club & Drive Club VR. Stop wasting time with Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7!    … Expand

    Why is it so hard to add car finder/filter, and why I can't change my car without entering garage?

    Without doubt the WORST Gran Turismo made.

    Oh it looks good but take the slightest dip below the surface and you find a lazy pile of garbage. To start with, the start, Music Rally, which you MUST play, no "oh I'll come back to it later", you don't at least try the first Music Rally you don't get into the game. Then there's the fact it's locked behind a "must be online" to play    Without doubt the WORST Gran Turismo made.

    To start with, the start, Music Rally, which you MUST play, no "oh I'll come back to it later", you don't at least try the first Music Rally you don't get into the game.

    Then there's the fact it's locked behind a "must be online" to play even single player mode DRM lock. Why is this even necessary? I'm playing single player mode, maybe once a month to check for necessary updates, but EVERY time, are you for real???

    The actual content, pathetic, the missions, the licenses, they're still there, with their usual flaws that I'll come back to, but the racing, if you just want great deep racing, don't waste your money, GT5 and 6 have more racing then this does.

    Going back to those flaws. You remember I'm sure, earlier iterations of Gran Turismo, where you'd do a mission or license, and you'd fail it as you overtook another car safely then IT would hit you but YOU were failed for the collision even though it wasn't your fault, yep, it's still there, or you start a challenge with your ghost on, yet despite just driving in a straight line, in the same car, with the EXACT same settings, somehow it gets a better start, yep, again, still there. These are basic things that should be long gone by now, but nope.

    Pitting, how is it, you pit, the nearest car is maybe 10 seconds behind you, both change tyres, both fully refuel, yet somehow, the other car gets in FIRST, and gets out first?

    Microtransactions, yep they're in this now. Got to get the grift on.

    Then there's the rigged prize "roulette", and yes it IS rigged, I tested it. Roulette is supposed to be a game of chance or luck, there's absolutely no chance or luck involved in this roulette. There is a technique to repeat the roulette spin if you don't like the prize, it's not healthy for the PS, but I had an older model and a newer one so I took the chance, if you pull the power lead fractionally after you get the prize, it doesn't save so you get to re-run the roulette. I put this to the test 20 times. 5 prizes, 20 spins, now for the record, during the re-spins some of the higher prizes changed, however, EVERY spin I got the exact same prize, the EXACT same prize, the odds of that are in the millions to 1, yet everytime, exact same outcome!

    There's also another aspect to this rigged roulette, to buy some cars, they're locked and you need "invitations" to buy them, to get the invitations you must..... win them in the rigged roulette!

    This game just feels like one of the old prelude Gran Turismo's rather then a full game. I've played EVERY GT since the original came out, and I've never been disappointed, until now, this, it just feels like a cash cow milking the GT name.

    It feels like a huge emphasis has been put on online racing at the expense of the main game, but online has been a part of GT since even GT5, which, at least in my opinion is still by far the best, and if the servers were still running, I'd rather play that, then this pile of steaming garbage.

    Absolutely not worth the money, just a pure waste of your hard earned. This game is a disgusting entry to a distinguished franchise.    … Expand

    Es ist wirklich unglaublich, wie schlecht das Game ist. Ja, die Strecken sind gut designt und hübsch, selbiges gilt für die Autos. Und auch die geschichtlichen Fakten sind interessant.

Ja, die Strecken sind gut designt und hübsch, selbiges gilt für die Autos. Und auch die geschichtlichen Fakten sind interessant. Aber das sind die einzigen positiven Dinge an diesem Game und diese rechtfertigen weder den Preis noch den Kauf.
    Da wäre zunächst die Sache mit dem Erhalten der Autos. Es ist fast unmöglich, alle Autos zu erhalten, da viele sxtrem teuer sind und die Möglichkeiten, Geld zu farmen, eher spärlich sind. Einige Autos kann man auch erst kaufen, wenn man eine Einladung erhält. Diese erhält man rein zufällig durch die Roulette-Tickets. Es leuchtet nicht ein, warum man Einladungen erhalten muss, die machen einfach keinen Sinn. Und die Roulette-Tickets sogar noch weniger. Zu 95% erhält man immer den niedrigsten Betrag oder billigsten Wertgegenstand. Der Gewinn steht schon bei Erhalt des Tickets fest, wie in mehreren Youtube-Videos bewiesen wurde.
    Beide Mechaniken verringern den Sammelspaß. Hat man in früheren Teilen Autos als Belohnung für Renn- oder Rennseriengewinne erhalten, ist die Möglichkeit hier nur einmalig und sehr eingeschränkt. Auch die Geldgewinne sind sehr niedrig.
    Die Auswahl der Cups ist auch extrem beschränkt. Mit den meisten Wagen kann man keine Rennen fahren, es sei denn, man erstellt diese selber. Auch die Strecken- und Autoauswahl ist nicht gerade üppig. Strecken wie Apricot Hill fehlen komplett, Autohersteller wie Opel oder Lotus bzw. Autos wie der Dodge RAM fehlen ebenso.
    Die KI, gerade in höheren Rennklassen oder höherer Schwierigkeit, ist extrem schlecht programmiert. Zum Teil versucht diese, in bester Online-Fahrer-Manier, mit Rammen, Stoßen und Schieben einen zu drehen oder von der Strecke zu drängen. Oder sie fährt so, als wäre man gar nicht auf der Strecke. Generell gilt: wenn die KI nicht will, daß du gewinnst, gewinnst du nicht. Dann schleudert es dich von der Strecke, ohne, daß du wieder ohne Probleme zurüczk kannst, du kannst nicht mehr schalten oder richtig beschleunigen, du wirst um 40 oder mehr Sekunden nach hinten versetzt oder die anderen Fahrer sind plötzlich total op.
    Ein weiteres großes Problem ist der Online-Zwang. Des Öfteren kommt es vor, daß keine Verbindung zum PS Network gehalten werden kann. Rennen, Missionemln, Lizenzen, Käufe oder sonstige Tätigkeiten werden nicht gespeichert und der Progress ist dahin.
    Der hohe Schwierigkeitsgrad tut auch sein Übriges. Es sind in den Lizenzen, Missionen oder Rennen teilweise lächerlich schwere Herausforderungen zu meistern. Es ist fast unmöglich, z.B. alle Lizenzen in Gold zu schaffen. Auch hier spielt die KI unfair: je besser man wird, desto unfairer wird die KI. Da wird man selbst mit 20 km/h weit rausgetragen, die Steuerung funktioniert nicht richtig oder man wird disqualifiziert, weil man angeblich die Strecke verlassen hat oder einen ein anderes Auto berührt. Das Game ist hier wohl nur für Halb- oder Vollprofis gemacht. Anfängern oder Fortgeschrittenen wird ein Lernfortschritt extrem erschwert.
    Natürlich gibt es auch Mikrotransaktionen, allerdings ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis eine Frechheit. 20 Euro für zwei Millionen Credits. Und es gibt Autos, die 20 Millionen Credits kosten...
    Die Online-Rennen bieten das Übliche: wenige Fahrer, die einfach Rennen fahren wollen, viele, die unfair fahren oder andere nur trollen. Das System von Gran Turismo 7, die Fahrer für Aktionen zu bewerten und dann in Hruppen mit ihresgleichen zu stecken, klappt nicht. Man kann buchstäblich alles tun, um seinen Gegner von der Strecke zu bringen, ohne daß es eine Art Bestrafung gibt. Da vergeht einem wirklich die Lust an Online-Rennen.
    Alles in Allem kann man sagen, daß dies, trotz der guten optischen Eindrücke, der schlechteste Teil der Reihe ist. Schlecht programmiert, unfair, mit sinnlosen Mechaniken und ziemlich wenig Content. Das war das letzte Gran Turismo, daß ich mir zugelegt habe. Es ist unglaublich, wie schlecht das Game ist. Man kann nur hoffen, daß die Entwickler irgendwann ein Einsehen haben und das Spiel patchen.    … Expand

    It feels like a mobile game: auto-drive, auto-brake, auto-steer, auto everything; requires a constant internet connection, even for singleplayer; infested with all sorts of microtransactions you can imagine, and even with some more on top of it. The game manages to both look dated, and still lag like hell. And those loading times are just ridiculous.

Few road cars from the last 5 years are present and the Gr.3 category is outdated. Menu design is not intuitive. Unacceptable AI for a 2022 racing game and a poor career mode called GT Café with no actual racing as you chase the rabbit and encounter rubber-banding AI. Online is a complete disaster, Sport Mode hasn't been improved from GT Sport and lobbies are backwards and mostly deserted by now. The grind is the worst of all GT games with low race payouts to encourage microtransaction purchases. FOMO everywhere. Split screen is broken. Not possible to sell cars unlike every other main GT game. Many QOL features from GT Sport missing from GT7. The soundtrack is poor and reusing mostly Daiki Kasho tracks.

    The latest update was intended to rectify user complaints about players cheating and cutting corners. I get that. But how is it fair that if I get rammed into on a turn that I get a 5 second penalty for going out of bounds, another 5 second penalty for hitting a barrier, plus the time it takes to get back on the course, and they get nothing?

    They ruined a great series with GT7 at the intersection of laziness and greed. I guess the alternative to laziness would cost money, so double greed.

    1) The emphasis in the game is no longer on racing. The emphasis is on collecting; something no one asked for. They've created an artificial market of which they are the only benefactors.

    2) The gift car (there are two types) and roulette systems are infuriating at times. Let's say you get a $700k Ferrari as a gift car. You think, sweet! Then, you find out that's a gift car for beating a race in the campaign two races down the road. When you beat that race, you get NOTHING. You don't get half the value of the car, a different car, just nothing. Even worse, let's say you bought that $700,000 Ferrari with credits. You are SOL. I've won cars on roulette tickets I already own or will win as gift cars in a race or two. Makes you go, well, that was a waste of time. All about making you spend money (which I refuse to do btw).

    Receiving gift parts from roulette tickets is a waste too. Here's a part for a car you will never use in a race. Thanks. Also, not being able to dump cars you'll never race.

    3) The interface, sucks. Say you get a campaign mission in the cafe. You have to exit the cafe (load time), enter the world map (load time), track down the course, and pull up the requirements (load time). You find out the car you want to use is a shade too powerful for the race, but you haven't installed a power restrictor on your car yet. You have to back all the way out, go into a different menu for the tuning parts, return, and tune the car.

    4) There are an excessive amount of button taps in this game. Just to exit a race, I believe it's as much as 6 button taps.

    5) The game seems very high on itself. There is a bunch of content forced upon you in the campaign that you wish that you could forward through.

    6) Because of points 4-6, you feel like you spend more time dealing with the interface and loading than you do actually racing. This is especially true early on when the races are shorter. You'll spend 5-10 minutes selecting a car, buying tuning parts, tuning the car, to participate in a 75 second race.

    7) The design of the campaign is lazy. You will race 3 races independently as part of a challenge. Then, the next challenge is to race the exact same 3 races, same competition, but without returning to the menu. Ooh, I'm really scared.

    8) The campaign is short. 39 challenges in all, but consider 1/4 of those are super short or not related to racing at all. Take a picture, tune a car, visit this menu, get your car modded, get your oil changed, etc. Also the campaign is pretty easy.

    9) This is probably the second thing I noticed about the game after the interface. They recycled about half of the soundtrack from GT Sport. You had years to produce a new game, I paid a premium for it, I expect a new soundtrack. A penny saved is a penny earned I guess.

    10) It can be glitchy. Not often, but often enough. I've clipped through a wall and ended up half a lap ahead of where I was. That's the only time I recall it working in my favor.

    11) The endurance races suck in 7. If you enjoy the marathons instead of sprints, stick to GT Sports.

    Sport is by far the better game. If you enjoy a quality racing game, you need not go further than Sport. It doesn't have the variety of cars that 7 has, but you will also be saving yourself a lot of frustration and $60. If you do make the jump to 7, enjoy it for the racing. Do not get sucked into the collecting aspect.

    Tips that might save some frustration with 7 if you already have it:

    Buy the Mitsubishi Lancer early; the first time you can use an Asian 4WD. Cheap, a lot of potential with tuning, not a potential gift car, and probably the most versatile car when it comes to race requirements. You'll be pleased when you hit the rally races. You seldom are forced to buy a car to compete, but the rallies are an exception.

    Research the gift cars you'll get along the line before you spend a single credit.

    After completing the campaign, if you were frugal, you should have acquired a fair amount of credits. If you do endurance races, I'd invest in the Gr 3 F-type Jaguar ($450k) and Honda Epson ($800k). The Jaguar Is so far the most maneuverable Gr 3 I have driven in the game. The Epson sips gas. Some PP800 endurance races you can complete without refueling    … Expand

    Between all the updates, downloads and the extended "server maintenance" I've spent more time waiting to play the game I bought than actually playing it. Waste of time

Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but it always was an another car for your collection. Here you can win cash, tuning part or a car. But mind you, after many rolls I had maybe one medium cash reward. That's it, all of them were small amounts, even smaller than for winning a simple race. I said that tuning is nice, yes, but not it's a bit expensive. So please, all you have to do, is implement GT Sport economy into this game. I never complained about lack of credits in their previous game, but still it was a challenge to collect enough to buy some legendary car. Oh and another thing: constant internet connection to even play offline? Come on.

With real money. After one has already paid over 60 dollars for this piece of trash.

The decision to lean so heavily on manipulative and greedy MTX practices is just disgusting. No, I should not have to be reminded to "fill up" on credits through the PS Store. I should be able to sell my cars, and I should not have to see races see a decline in credit rewards through patches. It's a shame that one of my favorite franchises of all time has been brought to its knees by this silly always-online requirement and poor business decisions. Gran Turismo 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, it helped inspire my love of cars at a young age. That game is still playable today, will GT7 be playable in 20 years? Probably not.

    Underneath it all, yes, the game itself is good. The driving physics are awesome!!!
    I'm just concerned that Sony is going to throw away their legacy when these titles inevitably go offline, GT7 will likely, at some stage, be unplayable forever. PlayStation, this is the WRONG DIRECTION for your company and brand, it is shameful!

    I feel like the industry has just absolutely abandoned what I love about games in favor of catering to whales for an extra buck. Fallout 76, (my last time posting to Metacritic) was a complete joke and unfortunately, GT7 is right alongside it in its current state. Both of my favorite franchises now have a huge stain on their legacy and history. It's just a sad time to be a gamer.    … Expand

    De plus ils ont communiqué sur le fait que l'on pourrait revendre ne voitures (pratique pour se faire des credits si on a une voiture en doublon) eh bien, communication mensongère, il est impossible de revendre ses voitures...
    j'etais ravi d'acheter ce jeu plein de promesses, je suis mintenant dégouté et j'ai la sensation d'etre pris pour un pigeon

    EN: A SHAME!!
    a game that you pay 70€ which requires a connection to be able to play, and an incentive to use the credit card after their last update.
    for example, I saw a car worth 18.5 million euros, at 20€ for 2 million, do the math, that makes a car worth more than 180€, and if you want to earn this money in the game, given that they have reduced the rewards, it is almost unreachable....
    In addition they communicated on the fact that we could resell cars (practical to get credits if you have a duplicate car) well, misleading communication, it is impossible to resell your cars...

    The Pros:
    -Good graphics with HDR support.
    -GT Auto is back and it's mostly the same as Gran Turismo 6's, nothing wrong with that.
    -Widebodies is a good addition to the game and can be easily bought.
    -Good selection of tracks.
    -Any car paint can be bought although preview car is not your current car.
    -Scapes is a very good camera feature.
    -Custom races are very customizable but the payout is super terible.

    The Middle:
    -Engine swaps are a new addition to the series but are locked behind the terrible roulette system.
    -Visual parts are back but there not much different from Gran Turismo 6's.
    -The instrumental music is very good while the vocal music is bad, so it's just a weird clash of old music with new music.
    -A lot of new tuning options but a good chunk of cars cannot be upgraded with a turbo.
    -Lacking a lot of races when compared to GT Sport and older GT titles.
    -Music rally is fine
    -GT Cafe is a very good addition but it's pretty short and the speech bubbles get annoying after a while.

    The Cons:
    -Used dealership updates 1-3 cars whenever it wants.
    -Terrible roulette system that gives out barebone prizes and locks away sought after parts behind it.
    -Race payouts were lowered in a update while car prices remained the same.
    -99% of the game is online only
    -Mircotransactions are a lot worse than GT Sport's and Gran Turismo 6's.
    -Barely any new recent cars.
    -Legend Dealership has too many highly priced cars that shouldn't be even that high in a racing game.
    -Cars in your garage cannot be sold, only discarded.    … Expand

    This had so much potential and you guys literally ruined it. Well done Kaz, PD and Sony I hope your happy.

    Unless you change your explicitly greedy ways, I am in no interest to play this game every again!

    So disappointed. The gameplay and graphics are fine, but everything else has gone backward. I don't think it's going to have the fun replay value like the previous versions had.

    And based on the new valuations, I don't think I'll ever get my new Skyline.

    Since the last update, the rewards are so low that the game has now become a proper pay-to-win game.

THE AMOUNT OF CREDITS YOU MAKE DURING RACING IS NOTHING BUT A JOKE, 28.000 FOR FINISHING 2ND IN AN ONLINE RACE IN RANK B THAT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 20MINUTES IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. YOU HAVE TO GRIND SO MUCH JUST TO GET A CAR YOU WANT AND THEN EVEN MORE FOR THE TUNING PARTS YOU MAY WANT TO INSTALL ON THE CAR. THE TICKET SYSTEM IS A JOKE AS WELL YOU GET SHEIT 90% OF THE TIMES. AND OH HAHAH THIS ONE IS FUN LET'S SAY YOU WANT A FERRARI FXXK, FIRST YOU NEED TO GET AN INVITE THAT LET'S YOU BUY IT, THE CAR IS AROUND 3,6 MILLION CREDITS WHICH BASICALLY MEANS YOU NEED TO GRIND FOR 30 HOURS FOR A SINGLE CAR, HERE COMES THE BEST PART, THE INVITE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE TO BUY IT, LET'S SAY YOU HAVE IT, IT'S FUC*ING TIME LIMITED IT WILL EXPIRE SO YOU MAY NOT GET THE CHANCE TO BUY THAT CAR AGAIN, IT FORCES YOU TO FILL UP WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR MICROTRANSACTSIONS, 20€ FOR 2 MILLION CREDITS SO YOU BASICALLY NEED TO SPEND 40€ FOR A SINGLE CAR HAHAH IM GOING MENTAL IMAGINE YOU GET THE CHANCE TO BUY A 20 MILLION CREDIT CAR HAHAH FU*K THIS PIECE OF SH*T GAME. THERE WAS A RACE YOU COULD REPLAY FOR AN HOUR THAT WOULD MAKE A DECENT AMOUNT OF CREDITS, GUESS WHAT THEY NERFED THE PAYOUT ON THAT RACE AND PLENTY OTHERS. I SWEAR I CANT EVEN BELIEVE THIS AND THE SAD PART IS THE FOUNDER OF THE SERIES IS DEFENDING THIS DECISION BY SAYING HE WANTS THE CARS TO BE RARE JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE, REALLY?? IF YOU WANTED RARITY IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE TO BUY THEM WITH REAL MONEY AKA MICROSTRANSACTIONS FU*KING HYPOCRITE. I'M SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE USED IN THIS REVIEW, IT'S JUST THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO AN IP I HAVE LOVED AND OWNED SINCE PS2, IT'S NOTHING BUT DISGUSTING.… Expand

    Where to begin? I would have given it a zero, but racing is racing. Until greed steps in and then it’s all for one and one for themselves. Polyphony just keeps getting worse. They’ve not changed since gt sport nor has the game play changed. Blah, I believe this is my last time with this franchise.

    Looks like a upscaled PS3 game (Even on Ps5) Microtransactions. Always online. This game is n itself a good game (Even if the graphics is kind of outdated and the soundtrack is awful) But it is totally destroyed by microtransacions and the always online is just horrible.

    I loved Gran turismo before this game. If things dont change i will not buy Gran Turismo 8

We barely get even half a game from this, and barely anything if your precious Internet connection does so much as blink. The glitches that make liveries disappear make you struggle to do ANYTHING in this game. Prove me wrong, Sony/Polyphony Digital/KazYam, with proper updates, and I would love to look stupid for this review. Until then, I guess this is the last installment for the franchise, and I guess it's time to go shopping for its competitors...… Expand

    On the track GT7 is great. Driving feels really connected and works lovely out of the box with a steering wheel. However, the game around it is terrible. The same old process of following cars round the track starting at the back of the conga line. Broken in game economy where credits come very slowly and cars are overpriced forcing you towards micro transactions. No way of    Avoid!!

Online only single player with servers going down for 24 hours. Gran Turismo was a game that defined racing games for many years but unfortunately it is now a cash cow for Sony who have shown this generation that their business model is no longer “for the player”!

    This game is pretentious, contrived, and boring. Polyphony had a shot at making the best ever Gran Turismo - lord knows they had the time - and yet they have come out with this. Insufficient cars, insufficient classic tracks, dull linear gameplay, annoying menus, and a focus on 'car culture' and 'history' that no-one asked for. Don't waste your money.

    Gran turismo 7 is a game that need always an internet connection, If the servers isn't work out you can't play the game and now you would need more time to buy a car after the update.

    GT7 doesn’t feel like a truly new game – more like an upgraded version of Sports. But it’s par for the course for the series: each generation, Polyphony Digital makes a solid foundation and then builds upon it. [Issue#260, p.38]

    Gran Turismo 7 strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and realism in a way that caters to casual players and veterans. It's a gorgeous racing game with a surprisingly addictive gameplay loop thanks to the new Café and Menu Books systems. While some modes are certainly not as strong as others, Gran Turismo 7 checks almost all the boxes of what a driving simulator should be.

    A return to form for Gran Turismo. After too many years, Polyphony Digital crafted an almost perfect iteration of Gran Turismo, where past and present blend together for an epic journey through the car culture.
