    Some of the most atrocious micro transactions I’ve ever seen in a video game. Some cars can cost anywhere from 10-20 million credits which is extremely unrealistic to grind for, especially for a single car. So if you don’t wanna grind you’d have to spend $20 just for 2,000,000 credits which would make a 20,000,000 credit car $200 in real world money…. Absolutely disgusting.

    Dont bother buying it. It wont work whilst the servers are down.

    Its an ok game to play but whilst being online is a requirement for single player, the score stays a zero.

    Sorry PD, you darn **** this one right up.

    Game totally geared around forcing the player in to micro transactions to get anywhere in the game. Payouts from races are so low and prices for cars so high that GT7 would need to be your full time job to purchase any of the higher end vehicles

    I uninstalled Gran Turismo 7 and went back to GT Sport. GT7 is a scam. Literally the worst GT yet. Too bad they'll oneday switch the servers off for GT Sport. If GT7 isn't better than Sport by then, I'll be done with the series a whole. Thanks for wasting my money. The Battlefield 2042 of racing games.

If they also intend to add cars with free updates there will be no point since no one will have enough credits unless they take the microtransaction route. I personally do not recommend purchasing this game at full retail price at this point unless sony and polyphony make a change. Buy at a discounted price if you must. Expand

    Today, in order to let players spend money and change the income of the game, who knows if you will cut other players’ content for other interests later.

    A game that loses the player's trust is not worth playing at all, and there is no remorse after this disgusting practice, arrogant and self-righteous

The AI also feels less balanced, although the licenses are a USP that remains fun, although they are currently unplayable due to a server issue..

    I was a huge fan of GT 1-4 and when I read how GT7 was going to bring back those days I never had second thoughts pre ordering this game, how wrong I was and now feeling like I've been scammed by then one game developer I had highest hopes for. This bait and switch, predatory tactic is the worst I have encountered. probably on par with cyberpunk fiasco. shame on Sony and PD!

Microtransactions cost are very high, 2 million credits for 20$, so a car costing 12 million cost you 120$.

    And i need to speak of the updates too. Update 1.06 give us a lot of problem, impossibile to do some mission or licence because they put wrong tires on it and we remain a whole week with this problem. Update 1.07 is the worst update i ever see in my life. Updating a game for me mean to make the game better. But they decide to do the opposite. You cannot play the game anymore because the servers are down for maintenance from yesterday morning and you know that when the game will be playable, you will not have the opportunity to earn a decent amount of credits to purchase the cars you love unless you can play all day 10 hours.

    Internet connection required for single player. Unbalanced in game credit earning. Cost of in game assets are way over priced. Most of the game is locked behind a paywall. Either grind to earn minimal credits to play the game, or take out your credit card for micro transactions.

    - Game economy is completely ruined by pushing insanely hard for micro (more like macro, but OK) transactions. This game is about collecting cars, but with the current rate you will either need to quit your job and grind fulltime or spend thousands and thousands on credits.

    Apart from this there is actually a great base-game hidden in there. But they have just completely ruined the experience for me.

    Total focus on microtransaktions. The new update reduced the rewards and made it even worse. You always have to be online, even if you only play singleplayer. When the server is down you cant play.
    No carrer mode, only a Café which is a joke.
    The game is very short, you are done with it after a weekend.

The cafe and progression is flawed, the fact most cars are ported from gt sport with hardly any actual new cars is appalling, the sound profile on many cars is just wrong, and the big one for me is the fact that they couldn’t even get split screen right, always online and you can’t use your own cars, you can’t adjust settings, and the hud is so bad. GT4,GT5 & GT6 did it better. Expand

In addition to finishing all the previous GT's, I'm done with menu books, most of the missions, and golds in most of the license tests in GT7. I consider myself a veteran and proficient GT'er. Two weeks ago I never envisioned myself creating an account in order to post a review, much less posting this one, but PD screwed this game up so much that I felt it had to be done.

    Simple fact of the matter is they want you to pay real money for game cars in addition to purchasing the game (which isn't even finished). The entire structure from the 3 places to purchase cars to the minuscule payouts for race wins is meant to drive you to so called "micro transactions". What is that anyway? If I spend $20 on beer, I don't consider that a micro transaction. They should call them multi-transactions, as that is what they are truly hoping for... you re-upping your credits anytime a used car that you want finds its way into a dealership.

    Other complaints include a horrible physics engine for the wheel/pedal vs the controller. Compared to Sport, this is a huge step backwards. I'm always faster with a controller, but some things are now simply undoable with a wheel/pedal setup. And along with a complaint about a lack of grip... why is there so much rain? Yeah, it looks great, but it seriously decreases the fun of a lot of races, I mean a lot of races. Far too many races with rain at some point. It isn't fun, just pure frustration (especially if you using a wheel/pedal).

    The game looks great, but I have no doubt that it suffers some from the decision to be PS4 compatible. That said, if you bought a PS5 just to play this game, you'd probably be a little more bitter about it. The only real step forward that I've found is in body kits. Lots of new options here, including the removal of wings (thank you!!!), though it still costs you credits (aka real money in PD/Sony minds).

    I want to love this game, and I hope in time that some issues are resolved to the point where I'd recommend it to the average gamer. BUT right now, I don't see a noobie to the franchise enjoying the title. Finish the game, increase the race payouts (all of them if you really don't want us to grind the same car and track all of the time), and get the handling back to something playable for wheel/pedals, until then I'll still make my daily workout in Sport, and have more fun doing it than anything I have left in GT7.

    Following the supposedly 2 hr 1.07 update, and became a 36 hr 1.08 update while none of us can play the single player mode. No compensation afterwards whereas all mobile (free) games provide some compensation even after a regular schedule maintenance. I paid a good C$ 110 for the game.

    The best part was they nerfed the payout of the races, the easiest of all, The Clubman Cup (Goodwood), the winning payout was 35,000 cr, now it is 12,000 cr. While Mr Yamauchi said "I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again."

    Take Honda, Mazda, Audi and Ferrari cars as example. They have 45 cars, total value is 28,352,040, comes to an average of 630,045 each car. Let's say there are 420 cars? Then a total value of 264,617,040. A 4-minute Goodwood used to give 35,000 cr, simple math, thats 7561 Goodwood race wins = 30,244 minutes = 504 hours. With the new payout (12,000 cr), thats 22,052 Goodwood race wins = 88,208 minutes = 1,470 hours. (I triple checked my math)

    But don't forget the average value of 630,045 is not accurate at all, there are tons of cars north of 1,000,000 cr and did you see a McLaren F1 '94 was 18,500,000?
    (I did not account for the car upgrades which is pretty pricy in some sense)

    "try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again." Is this EXACTLY what you want us to do Yamauchi san?

    Then update 1.8 came out after 32 hours of downtime - because you can’t play any aspects of the main game if the servers are down - they nerfed the credits for pretty much all the race wins - making any serious supercars unavailable unless you either spend lots of extra monies OR grind the same races again and again, making you ultimately hate those races, as you’ve played them not for the joy of racing, but for the pain of building up credits.

    This was a strategic move for driving more revenue, that has ultimately back-fired in a horrendous way.

Once you get some of those top tier race cars you can’t even use them in championships or even created races…

    And ofcourse there are a lot of FOMO techniques to try and make you spend money on micro transactions, which in them selfs are crazy 2mil for 20 euros… In short to buy the mclaren F1 car you’d need to pay 189$ to buy it or race for 32hours straight…

    The basis is there, just add more races and more ways to earn credits, we love a grind, but this is just crazy and seems a pointless attempt at selling MTX…

    Added to that, when the game was offline for 32 hrs, only the arcade races and the music rally where playable… nothing single player related campaign could be played. Due to the always online feature.. and besides a “We’re sorry” no clear explanation, updates or compensation for the downtime.


    Its sad to see, I love the series and the early grind, but once the single player menu is done, the game feels empty… give us more races, Bspec and more ways to earn credits.

    And ofc, let us sell cars or tuning items for cars we don’t own, or don’t wanna own in the near future.

    If you just want good gameplay and don‘t care about the specific cars too much wait for a sale. But no one should pay more than let‘s say $30-40 for these scammy tactics. If you do have an interest in the cars, just play a different game because this is certainly not worth either unlimited amounts of time or unlimited amounts of your hard earned cash.
