    As a fan of the series this is a truly disappointing release. I won't even talk about the current unplayable status due to the downed servers and the always online requirements **** happens, but **** wouldn't be so big if the game didn't require online) but the game has more fundamental problems that for me disqualify it from the legendary Gran Turismo legacy.

    First and most important, for me, is the lack of a real career mode. This is what defined a Gran Turismo game for me and the café thing is definitely not a replacement.

    Second, it lacks a lot of content. It has less cars, less tracks, and less races. It has no NASCAR and almost no rally. It has no real life karts (it has a ridiculously overpowered kart) or kart tracks.

    Third, the microtransaction thing is awful. I don't care about microtransactions in games where they don't affect the flow of the normal game (like in Call of Duty games, for example) but in this game a lot of stuff is clearly designed to make you buy credits with real money, for example:

    - More than half of the cars are more than 100.000 credits and more than 10% are more than a million (WTF?). Some cars are 20 million! By comparison, the most expensive car in Gran Turismo 5 was 500k.
    - The awful "ticket lottery" system where most of the time you get the lowest price (5k, 10k, a random tuning piece which is usually even worth less and for some specific car). I have opened like 20 tickets and not on a single one I got a car or the biggest credit stack. Truly infuriating, specially when you are reminded that you can buy more credits with money after getting the ****ty price.
    - The nerfed payouts in tracks. This is aggravated by the lack of content, meaning you would be grinding the same 2-3 races that pay half-decently to get the cars you want (and as a bonus, it looks like they will nerf the payouts of the few races that pay well). In previous Gran Turismo games there was a grind to get money, of course, but you had a lot of content and variety so it didn't feel so.
    - You can't sell cars. A feature, mind you, they announced the game had.

    The game has other problems, inherited from previous Gran Turismo games, but that in 2022 you could expect would have some improvements:

    - The AI is not really and AI but more like trains on a track. They almost never overtake among themselves and if you are in front of them they will totally wreck you. Poliphony has promised a new, better AI will come but it's not there right now.
    - The sound is pretty good for some cars but mostly bad for most of them, with the same old "angry vacuum cleaner" sound. Same for the skidding sound which is the same sound you had in GT1 so many years ago, and always the same sound for all cars and tires.
    - The UI is awful and lacks shortcuts. For example, you can tune your car before a race, you have to go several steps back to the world map, then go to the tuning shop and tune it there.
    - Split creen more has an horrible framerate.
    - Sport mode is basically broken right now.

    On the positive side, the game looks beautiful (trough I would have expected more for a 2022 PS5 game, specially the lack raytracing during gameplay smells bad) and the handing of the cars seem to be good (at least the RX8, which is the same car I have in real life, have a very similar handing).

    So, in summary, this game doesn't feel like a Gran Turismo numbered game but a lazy work over GT Sport with the cafe thing tacked in and nerfed payouts so you have to buy microtransactions.

    Updating my review from a 1 (when the servers were down and all I could do was doing a couple of races in Arcade mode) to a 4 following the baffling nerf to the economy and the overall rise of car prices.

    Beside the micro transactions which are scummy, and reducing race payouts, there is a good game in there somewhere .

    Not really liking the campaign, but it is what it is, a racing game. Not much story to be had there anyways but they could’ve gone a little bolder in that direction. No crash damage physics is pretty lame for a racing sim. I gotta say when I hit a wall head on at 200 mile

    No crash damage physics is pretty lame for a racing sim. I gotta say when I hit a wall head on at 200 mile per hour and my car looks brand new that’s a pretty lame problem to have for a sim racer.

    Graphics are great although it’s really peaked at this point. Can’t admire too many details going 200 miles per hour. Framrate locked at 60fps is great. I want to love the game but it’s just so sterile. Yes the graphics are the best of any racing game on console at least, but it’s just kinda lifeless. I don’t know really how else to describe it.

Next is the dreaded and annoying cafe system, it's so needlessly intrusive with too much hand holding, and when you're done with it, that's it, that's the whole single player experience, there is a shockingly low number of actual races. Why the hell is there roulette tickets in my GT game? They've Forza Motorspoted this thing to hell. It's obvious they're pushing us towards the online portion of the game with the mandatory online funtion and dreaded MTX's, both of which have no place in a single player GT game, and now it's even worse since they gimped the payouts, and made it grindy like it's GTA online. The whole used car system is ridiculous, just make all the cars available, and what pencil pushing dido in marketing came up with Brand Central? It's disgusting and crass consumerism infiltrating our experience. This world is going to hell in a hand cart and those hand carts are all bought with MTX's. Expand

That being said, why would a GT fan give this game a 4/10 if the microtransactions aren't being taken into account? Sure, Gran Turismo 7 has the license tests, driving missions, classic original circuits (although reimagined), scapes, excellent replays, and general aesthetic we all come to love. It has some great new additions too like the in-depth car customization, livery editor, sport mode. Overall, on the surface, seems like a solid entry which is why I bought it. That's just on the surface and judged in a bubble though.

    Well, it's been a solid 8-9 years since Gran Turismo 6 and a lot has changed in the racing game world. A lot of good competition has popped up and sim racing is a legitimate e-sport that has developed gamers into real life pro-drivers you can watch take to the track on the weekend. GT Sport and academy played a part in this, so good job there Polyphony. That's about as far as the praise goes for GT getting with the times though. Gran Turismo 7 has some serious core issues competitor games that are much older than it do not have. Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, Dirt, F1 for example.

    The absolute biggest issue is the single player gameplay is very poor and dated hurting the whole game. I'm at menu book 18 right now about halfway through the game and I really don't like it at all. Every single race in the game is a rolling start where you are last on the grid, the lead cars start with a 20+ second advantage, and only have to complete about 90% the race distance you have to because when the game hands over the wheel to you the lead 3 fast cars are already a few corners ahead of you. Some tracks this even makes them skip very low speed corners entirely which gives them a massive advantage. This encourages you to use overpowered cars for the race which isn't fun at all and drive very aggressive sloppy races as you frantically push for the lead in 2-3 laps. There is no qualifying, no grid ordering by PP, no practice sessions, no way to play the tracks until you earn them in the menu book so you can't even practice/tune your cars on your own time. It's a very poor design decision no doubt about it. Gran Turismo has always set out to educate and develop you as a "driver" which is why GT academy and the world championships exist for the GT games. This environment does the complete opposite and honestly I bet the reason the online racing is so sloppy with all the ramming and hyper aggressive players is largely to blame on this poor design. How many of these players are learning how to play GT and learning bad habits from what's necessary to win in single player? This is the main reason the game gets a 4/10 from me because I doubt Polyphony will ever fix these issues. Single player is what it is, we will get new events I probably won't even ever do and that's about it. The races will stay in this stupid arcade style chase format, the ai will stay weak, and single player will stay uninteresting to me.

    I want to excuse the lack of content, especially new content over GT Sport, but how can you? The majority of the stuff in GT7 as far as cars and tracks is just carried over from Sport and the new content barely seems like more than you'd get from an update that GT Sport got regularly. In time I'm sure the content will improve, so this doesn't bother me too much. The real world pricing concept for the cars is very stupid too. Most people can't/won't pay $250k+ for a 30 year old car that came out under $50k in real life, why would we want to emulate that aspect of being a car enthusiast in a game? There is absolutely no one I know of that likes how overpriced a lot of really not that great cars are that we like. I don't know what they were thinking here.

    It's sad really, the core of this game is so brilliant but it's absolutely let down by laziness and stupid decisions by Polyphony. The cars feel great on my direct drive wheel and load cell pedals. The driving is fantastic, which is the most important part of a racing game really. The driving being good is the reason this game gets a 4 instead of a lower score. Everything else about this game is abysmal. The license tests is the only genuine fun I've had so far since it's just pure driving, no BS like the menu book. The always online means a day will come where you won't be able to play GT7 anymore as well. So going back to replay it 5, 10, 15 years from now won't be possible like with GT1-6. That also really hurts the appeal of this game for me too.

    Verdict: If you're a massive GT fan, I still wouldn't recommend buying this game right now. I'd say wait it out a few months and see what the updates do. If you aren't a GT fan or car enthusiast, I'd say pass this game all together. Never thought I'd say this about a GT mainline game, but it's the truth. Peace.

The customization is also great, not only while customizing the performance of the cars but also their looks (as well as the driver´s look). It also looks amazing, Polyphony as usual surprises us with their amazing car models, tracks, weather effects and more! There are only over 400 cars in the game, but with the amount of detail and polish each one has it is acceptable, because the time required to make highly detailed cars in 3D is absurd.

    Negatives:

    Unfortunately the AI of this game is not that good, they other cars don´t feel like other players but more like just bots. The story mode is different and it could´ve worked out, but it needs polish (at least for GT8).

    Ugly negatives:
    The grind in this game is the worst kind of grind ever, because the rewards the game gives the player are very low compared to how high some of the car prices are. This is emphasized if you want to platinum the game, because to do that you have to spend 25.5M credits on 3 legendary cars that you will probably never use outside of photo mode or to try them out.
    This also highlights another issue that is that said cars can only be purchased within limited windows of opportunity because of a new system used to purchase cars, which is that the used cars and the legendary cars are only available within a limited amount of time, but they are randomly swapped for other cars and god knows when the previous cars will be in stock again. In previous titles the used cars switched when the player won a race or a championship, so at least the player had some agency in that. This is of course is made so that in desperation of never getting the car you want you purchase overpriced credits with real money in hope of getting more revenue for the game. I also forgot to mention that some standard cars have "car invitations" for you to purchase within a limited window of time, which are not as bad as the used and legendary cars, but still worth mentioning.
    And the killer design choice of this game is DRM (digital rights management) for a single player game, which is just insane. A player who bought this with their own U$S60 or got it with a gift should be able to play 100% of the single player content with no restrictions, but the DRM makes it so that the player is locked off 95% of it while they don´t have an internet connection. If the game was free or online only this wouldn´t be a problem, but as it is right now it pretty much is. I have had the game not giving me the rewards I deserved for a race or a license test multiple times because my internet connection is bad, and that is not acceptable. If Polyphony were to fix this then the game would still be a grind, but at least you´d be able to play it with just your PS5/PS4, a tv and electricity.

    Conclusion:

    This game plays and it looks fantastic, the story could´ve used some work and the used/legendary cars scheme and DRM for single player should be fixed immediately.

This being said, 9 months too late and GT7 missed all the GOTY awards. It still has the worst soundtrack in the series (very budget), it still has RETARDED AI from year 1999 that will destroy your progress in difficult races by making you go off track and loose 10+ seconds. It still has that same, stupid 'coffee' career progress, it still has that MP like races in career (ex. there's no grouping by FF, FR, MR etc. as dominant but rather VERY restrictive manufacturer and PP races). 4/10 and RIP Gran Turismo

    I've deleted my old review, but here's a warning:
    Game career ends abruptly; it's short, lacks career maker races, endurance races and some cups in general. After that it'll force you to grind or use real money to level up (doing so by car collecting) which is even harder considering you can't sell them!

    Take it as a warning.

    2) The ridiculous micro transactions. I'm not even sure calling it a 'micro' transaction is fair given how expensive the DLC cars end up with some costing $40 or more for a single car DLC.

    Sony and Polyphony Digital were also extremely deceptive when it came to reviews as the game we're playing now is not the same as what reviewers were playing. The changes around progression and micro transactions were only introduced AFTER reviews were published and since you can only play the game online, you're forced to take those updates.

    Gran Turismo is supposed to be a franchise that allows you to drive the high-end cars you'll never get to own in real life. No one bought this game so they can experience what it's like not to be able to afford the cars they want.

    For anyone considering this title, I would highly recommend getting GT sport instead which can be found for a significantly cheaper price. It also has reasonably priced DLC vehicles should you wish to avoid grinding for credits. Graphically, I don't feel GT7 looks that much better and the ray tracing mode which offers the biggest visual improvement only works during cutscenes. The campaign is good, but not at the expense of being able to own the vehicles you want to drive.

    At its core, there is a good game there and if it was free-to-play, I would understand why the game is the way it is. But as a full price $70 next-gen title from Sony, there is no excuse for the amount of grinding required to unlock vehicles or the ridiculous amount of real-world money you have to spend when you want to avoid that.

    There is also no excuse for the game not being fully playable offline. As someone who strongly believes in game preservation, I put a lot of importance on what is shipped on the disc. Sony needs to patch the game to be fully playable offline, but even if they do, long term the game is doomed into non-existence.

    I would strongly advise against buying this game until Sony resolves both of these issues.

There is no excuse for this, they've had all the time in the world for this game and have come out with a GT Sport upressed PS4 game with a GT4 layout. Price of the game is worth it due to the sheer amount of content thats packed in but compared to the ps2 and 1 era classics, Gran Turismo has fell from grace as the ultimate simcade racer. If turn 10 get their shi*ty physics together with the new Forza Motorsport, people will really see how far Polyphony have fallen as the only reason thats keeping me from fully converting me over is their terrible physics and even more laughable AI

    otro de los fallos es en el apartado de microtransacciones, es muy caro los paquetes de créditos y los vehículos también se vieron afectados ya que el costo de estos es mucho mayor que las vistas en GT sport, obligándonos a farmear por mas tiempo los créditos aunado a que las recompensas se vieron muy injustas ya que en carreras simples o campeonatos el premio en créditos es muy baja (aun despues del parche 1.08) y como ultimo clavo en en ataúd el uso obligado de estar online siempre incluso para jugar modo campaña entorpece la experiencia para los usuarios que tal vez no cuenten con un servicio de internet estable y eso haría perder los avances en un campeonato si no concluiste en medio de varias carreras. considero que para la opción multijugador y sport 7 obviamente debería solicitar estar conectado siempre. En esta ocasión este gran jugo y que espere con mucho anhelo se vio manchado por los precios elevados de autos, pocas recompensas, microtransacciones y el online forzoso. Esperemos que en el futuro hayan cambios ya que no pienso continuar jugando por esas razones.

    Let's add that, after 14 days since launch, the whole game (since online DRM) is down cause the servers are down (as now, for24 hours) since the latest patch broke something.
    Tinfoil hat moment, they discover a bug to exploit in game economy and blocked the access to avoid losing on those MTX $$$

But when you implement make them at least reasonable and not as greedy as herr. They intentionally reduced the price money for races.

    Des weiteren ist auch hier wieder die Downloadmenge grauenhaft. Ich frage mich immer wozu ich eine Blu-ray habe ? Ist da überhaupt etwas drauf ?
    Danach kommt der Onlinezwang ! Offline spielen geht hier gar nicht !
    Zu Begin kann man quasi nichts im Spiel machen, da einfach ALLES gesperrt ist.
    Ich selbst hatte einen Vorbestellerbonus der mir bisher so gut wie nichts gebracht hat. Denn man kann zu Begin des Spiels nicht mal auf die Neuwagen zugreifen. Was soll dieser Blödsinn in einem Spiel in dem es auch einen Echtgeldshop gibt und man ingame Währung kaufen kann ?!
    Entzieht sich, aus meiner Sicht, jeglicher Sinnhaftigkeit.
    Zudem finde ich es extrem lästig nicht im Vorfeld zu sehen welche Strecken ich frei spielen kann und welche Fahrzeuge und Lizenzen ich für was brauche ?!
    Die Weltkarte ist NUR mit roten Punkten versehen und man kann auf NICHTS zugreifen, geschweige denn irgendetwas nachlesen. Spielmotivation erzeugt das nicht gerade. Das war in den vorherigen Teilen oft besser gelöst.
    Auch das ständige BlaBla im Cafe fühlt sich meist sehr überflüssig und hakelig an. Für mich stört es den Spielfluss.
    Zudem. So Dinge wie diesen GT Service - in dem man Fahrzeuge waschen und pflegen kann, hätten auch ein par Animationen gut getan. Nette Idee eigentlich, aber eher mangelhaft umgesetzt.

    Und verflucht nochmal !
    Warum kann ich mir keine separaten Musiktraks für jeweilige Strecken und Menüs aussuchen ?!
    Das ging schon bei vielen der vorherigen Teilen und ist extrem störend !
    Nicht jeden Titel finde ich gut und möchte ihn ständig hören müssen... -,-

    Als Gesamtwertung bekommt das Spiel von mir daher gerade mal ein "ausreichend"
    Den Kauf bei dem hohen Preis, kann ich nicht empfehlen.

Beyond this disappointment there is still no need to actually possess any particularly proficient driving skillset, I complete this game within a week just by utilising the weigh reductions tune-up with racing soft tyres, that is all it takes - together with constantly cutting up the incredibly lame NPC opponents to secure cheap wins all around. This strategy has been an exploit ever since the very first title was released and I would like to see this being balanced out. Other exploits are abound, cutting corners, driving straight over S-bend sections, with absolutely no penalty being issued at all. The only thing that they have got right is to have not gone down the rewind function, as has been seen in the Forza series. Please give the players a content sweep akin to Gran Turismo 4, and patch the exploits, then we can discuss the 'Real Driving Simulator' seriously Expand

    It is very important to note that this is not a racing game - it is a chasing game... You always start a "race" at the back and already travelling at full speed (a rolling start) rather than a grid, and you can't qualify higher up so there are at least 7 (often many more than this) cars of the same level as yours all spread out in front of you stretching off into the distance and you haveIt is very important to note that this is not a racing game - it is a chasing game...

Dreadful game design as it never feels fair or like an actual race.

    The microtransactions are also dreadfully implemented as without them, you will be grinding the same races again and again and again to try to keep up with the cost of buying, upgrading and maintaining your vehicles.

    That's not to mention smaller issues such as the very limited and low quality music or that the music challenges themselves are poorly executed and add nothing to the game in terms of variety.

    I've loved the Gran Turismo series since 1 and this is the most poorly designed yet. I bought a PS5 for this game and I am very disappointed in Polyphony Digital - they have lost significant credibility in my eyes as a developer and I won't trust them in future.

You might have your internet go down, or say for example like today's update to the game, where you are not allowed to play ANYTHING while they perform server maintenance. Cars in the game are expensive and GT7 really seems to exploit in game transactions. I would say this game overall as it stands in its current form today, the game is 4 stats tethering towards 3.

You can't access your garage, any custom vehicles or campaign progression. This is absolutely unacceptable to be barred from the single player campaign. Second major issue is how integrated and pushed microtransactions. Now, you might think it's no big deal if people want to buy credits to fast track vehicle acquisition and upgrades... And, I agree, making it available is fine. But that's NOT the problem. PD is already reducing race payouts to increase the grind, and push microtransactions even more. This is bad for everyone. EVEN those that pay for credits. Instead of buying credits maybe a couple times while playing through, and winning credits along the way, you'll win FAR less now than you would have in previous updates, and might end up shelling out even more money on microtransactions. And, for those who aren't going to pay for credits, they're now forced to grind more than in ANY other GT game. And that's, again, only if they can play at all...

I reset my PS like 3x before just muted the tv and did it.. With all the default settings ibgot silver no sound just holding the gas and steering.. The cars are beautiful but the crowd and backgrounds, they are hilariously bad unless they are in a cut sean. Licensing tests are brutal and probably the best part.. Every thing from then on focusing on collecting cars with its own xp to a raffle system that's super under welming and its down hill from there. a quest system from the "Cafe" that is what's controlling your way through the game and likewise the reason im probably not going to fully see the game because its just not worth it to grind out lots of these races. Definitely looks like a pay to play model is forming around this game.. Are the races difficult ya is that the result of new advance AI no probably not.

    The physics and customization are 10/10 though. This is where the game shines, the tracks & cars are pretty much perfectly modeled and the driving itself is quite punishing (in a good way). The game also does a great job on teaching you how to be a better driver.

    Gameplay is great and would have given it a 9, but a single player game is unavailable to play because the servers are offline for two days in a row. Also it is offline because they are including a patch to give less credits for race wins pushing you towards pay-to-play. A discrase for the franchise.

    There are few driving games out there that are quite as rewarding, with excellent driving physics that really reward progression.

    While there are lots of short missions and license tests, there's only a handful of Championships and actual races, so you can quickly run out of incentive to keep playing.

    This is made worse by the poor payouts from races, which make the game more grindy than it needs to be. Rather than making you feel like you are working to earn more expensive cars and parts, it instead feels like it is pushing you hard to spend real money on microtransactions.

    Coupled with just a few tracks, this game sorely lacks replayability for a game that costs €80

    DO NOT buy this game.

    The game is beyond grindy for AAA game that costs 70$. For example there are legendary cars that cost around 18-19 mil credits. With how things are you have to keep grinding the same race over and over and over again for the next 25-30 hours or spend 200$ via MTX. If I wanted to grind THAT much i might as well played one of those F2P games and saved myself 70$.

    - Lessons on car history. The game's full of fun facts to know.

    The bad:
    - Clunky as useless dialogue/conversations with NPC. In the early game some NPCs would give you helpful advices about cars & circuits. But as it gets into mid and late game most npc dialogues became literally rubbish ("I really like xxx car!" "I will be competing in this xxx! It's fast!" ... ya, as if I care).

    The Terrible:
    - Microtransactions. And the nerf to credit rewards.

    Microtransactions for credits & cars would be a totally acceptable business model for f2p games, but absolutely NOT for a FULL PRICED game like GT7.

    Credits are already hard to come by in game, and on top of that they slashed the credit rewards for the most efficient races. AND even on top of that they release a letter claiming they did it because they "don't want players to mechanically repeat races."

    WTF? How does nerfing rewards solve the problem? If I had to mechanically repeat 100 races to get a certain car, after the nerf I have to repeat 200~1000 races to get the same car. Tell me how's that not mechanical now??

    In the same letter they mentioned they want to tie in-game car prices to real world prices to reflect the cars' rarity -- that's another WTF.
    Dude, most of us will NEVER get our hands on a Ferrari or Lamborghini or a legendary racing car, and that's exactly the reason we buy GT so we can have a taste of driving it in this "real driving simulator"!!
    "Real world PRICE simulator" is NOT called for, it's not what ppl buy GT for.

    - The roulette tickets
    The visual effect (roulette process) is an utter waste of precious gaming time, and the rewards are often ridiculously meh or USELESS (e.g. tuning parts for cars that you'll never buy).
    I'd rather you just give us a fixed amount of credit and take away that RNG factor.

    TL;DR

    - A wonderful game, but ruined by a greedy & malicious business model / management. SIE / PD please stop implementing this disgusting, EA-like microtransactions-everything business model. It may make you money, but it destroys your reputation and gamers' trust in you.

Game also needs the return of race qualifying as constantly starting at the back of the pack (and why always rolling starts?) Isn't a good way to do a racing game. The removal of selling gift cars though as not surprising is a pretty terrible move forcing people to either grind extensively or pay real money for in game credits to purchase cars which wasn't a deal breaker for me as race rewards still weren't that bad but the recent update reducing all the race rewards is just embarrassing and needs to be called out. Polyphony needs to get back the the roots of the GT series and if they do need funding for future content it should be done in the way of paid DLC and not micro transactions. Expand

    As of version 1.11, they've taken some steps to implement certain features, race events, missions and other such mechanics so that the in-game economy can be rebalanced to reduce the amount of excessive grinding and reliance on micro-transactions, which is a good first step, but it's still not quite there yet. There's still a lot to improve the in-game economy, and even with the newAs of version 1.11, they've taken some steps to implement certain features, race events, missions and other such mechanics so that the in-game economy can be rebalanced to reduce the amount of excessive grinding and reliance on micro-transactions, which is a good first step, but it's still not quite there yet. There's still a lot to improve the in-game economy, and even with the new changes, it's still far from perfect, but at least we're getting somewhere.

    Some major underlying problems still exist, and need to be addressed, such as the ability to play the game offline (Kaz excuses this as a way to prevent hacking and cheating, but in reality, it's due to the game's FIA involvement for Sport Mode), and another thing that is equally as important is to make all the cars in the game a rental car in the Arcade Modes.

    As stated in my previous review, when played normally under normal circumstances, you don't have any rental cars in the Arcade Modes (Arcade Races, Time Trials, Drift Trials, Custom Races and Two-Player Battle), and only 13 of which when played offline or in the two-player mode.

    There are pros and cons to implementing every car in the game as rental cars in these modes (both for all the cars we have already and those added as DLC in future game updates), such as:

    Pros:
    1. It allows players to drive any car on any track that they want (once the tracks in question are unlocked by means of game progression) for casual fun, either in single player or two-player battles. It would also be a necessary option for players if they don't want to grind and just get in their favorite cars.
    2. It gives players the incentive to test drive a specific car before deciding on buying them from their respective dealerships in the game's career modes. This is even more important considering that two dealerships in the game, the Used and Legendary Car Dealerships, have a rotating line-up of cars that change their availability in real time, meaning it could take long for a car to show up there.
    3. Rental cars in the Arcade Modes don't go through performance degradation (such as the oil, engine and chassis rigidity).

    Cons:
    1. Remember that they are *rental* cars restricted to the Arcade Modes only, where you can borrow them for free. You cannot use them in the main campaign unless you buy, collect and earn them in your Garage.
    2. Because of them being rental cars, you cannot apply tuning parts, custom liveries and other such customization items. Only car-specific default colors, liveries and variations can be used from the color/livery selection, and that set-up tuning will only be based on the car's default setup, wherever possible. All tire compounds are freely available for use, however.
    3. As opposed to using cars from your Garage in the Arcade Modes, they should make it where you won't earn credits and Daily Workout progress driving a rental car, in order to keep things balanced.

    Nice looking game, especially in VR. Driving is quite fun when you eventually get there.

    However
    - I bought is on disk (never buy anything from PSN store, they are more expensive and you can't sell to your firends) still on the install I had to download for 2 hours to install
    - who in the heck decided that you are forced to watch some annoying intro video for 10 minutes before you can play? Really? WTF?
    - Basic UI/UX designer has been probably on vacation during the whole development. I've never seen so much menu diving and so horrible user interface on any game. Why do I have to go through multiple screens every time if I want to tune my car or even buy tuning parts when tuning? Where are all the shortcuts?
    - Why in the heck is the replay always the default option and I had to do multiple presses instead of just going forward? And no, I really don't want to look at replay of those license training sessions where I just accelerate and brake
    - There is always too much screens and all other crap than just driving, you will spent as much time on the menu diving as driving the cars.
    - and of course the worst part: - forced online so they can disable the game from you when they want to and also force you to make micropayments if you want to use this as a normal game.

    Avoid and wait for better games that actually concentrates on driving and not annoying users.

    I've always been a fan of the GT series. I even worked on a racing game influenced by it. I've bought every title up until GT Sport, where they introduced microtransactions.

    Now in GT7, they've made the MTX 10x more expensive, the in-game currency harder to earn, AND the game requires a connection to run, which means that they can shut down the servers in a few years, as Japanese game
    I've always been a fan of the GT series. I even worked on a racing game influenced by it. I've bought every title up until GT Sport, where they introduced microtransactions.

    Now in GT7, they've made the MTX 10x more expensive, the in-game currency harder to earn, AND the game requires a connection to run, which means that they can shut down the servers in a few years, as Japanese game companies love to do, and you'll never be able to play it again, because they want you to buy GT8 and GT9 and so on, EA-Sports-style.

    Oh, and of course, also in EA style, they disabled the MTX until AFTER the reviews went out. So you see something like 90% from the "journalists".

    No. Just, NO.

    On top of that, it looks like the shaders were designed by someone who hasn't worked in graphics since PS3 days. Sure, the resolution and draw distance are great, but the cars all look like plastic, the foliage and grass don't look remotely real, and it all just looks... super fake.

    It's really a tragedy that such an important series in gaming history has come to this.

    There's an amazing game, hidden beneath-Micro. transactions. Always. Online. It's 2022. Hi, Sony?! C'mon!! This is a flagship game and feels like it's not getting the right attention in design. The micro economy within the game feels off, broken, and needs addressing! The single player campaign should be playable offline!

    Impossible de jouer le mode solo sans être connecté, ce qui pose probleme lors des phases de maintenance en ce moment et surement encore plus dans le futur. Des maj qui baissent les gains de crédit et qui va pousser à utiliser les MT.

    I have been putting my time into this game and I think I was misled on how "Great" this game is by everyone. It feels like they took the PS4 and did bare minimum upgrades and add a few new cars. Just look at the car list to understand, most of the cars are pre-2018. And then there is the music from like 2000's emo rock bands. And by far the worst thing, the graphics are still sub-par.I have been putting my time into this game and I think I was misled on how "Great" this game is by everyone.

Great, you have raytracing in Gran Turismo 7 but not in any actually playing / race mode. The actual surrounding around the track (the trees, the fencing, the stands, etc) all feel like a Fifa flipping shortcut flat with no uniqueness... it looks Sus if every rod in a fence is exactly the same. And don't get me wrong, this is a simulation... and it still doesn't simulate wall crashes or accidents and still win a race. How is this considered a "Great" Sim Racer at this point? It is just an average good game... but not any 10s worthiness as some reviewers say.

    ---With 1.07 Release---
    Now they patched the game to P2W. Sort of done... moving on. Lower from 7 to a 3 now.

    You are buying a game that you will complete it and you will never have the chance to drive or try the 95% of the available cars. What else do you want?

    Gran Turismo 7 has a lot of good and plenty of great. The use of DualSense and the particularly well-tuned loading is exemplary, and there's a huge amount of work behind the game, with a lot of detail that's almost hard to believe at times. [Issue#318]

    Gran Turismo 7 brings to the tracks every single thing fans always wanted: the GT Mode everyone loves, plenty of customization options, car loads, classic scenarios and one of the best DualSense and 3D Audio experiences the PS5 has to offer. This is the best Gran Turismo experience we have ever seen in a long time.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise's traditional formula gets good improvements, but it's still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5.
