    This was being my favourite games for ages. I have being buying PlayStation consoles always because of this game, but things are getting way too expensive.
    GT sport is awesome. I drove many different cars and had tons of awesome fun.
    It's super sad to see a game that is better in many ways being destroyed by microtransactions and with uncertain future as internet connection is needed to

    Race choices rely on cafe to progress. I'm given everything? I haven't had to do any of my own grinding. I don't appreciate any cars I've got as i haven't had to 'earn' them.

    Where is just a list of race categories. Why do i need to go to each circuit to find races? Messy. Should have a long list of different championships and races like in the past. Sure the cafe 'can' guide you though it. but don't make it the only way.

    I don't like being forced to play the game the way you want me to.

    It used to have more freedom, which is a huge part of the feeling of driving cars. Freedom.

    1. gameplay (10/10): This part of the the game is absolutely terrific, every aspect of is perfect in my opinion. There's no need for further explanation, I believe everyone agrees with this. 2.

    2. Online Only (0/10): This is my main issue, you are required to be online all the time in order to progress trough the game, now, this wouldn't be so much of an issue if the servers were stable but lo and behold.. they are not. I can't count how many times I was forced to repeat a race from the cafe because I would lose connection to the server (mostly at the very end of the race). This is extremely frustrating. Please make the game offline for the single player part.

    3. Microtransactions (5/10): I'm giving this section a 5 because I hate the microtransaction system in general in any game. But - from my experience this one isn't that bad. So far I was never really cornered into even thinking about buying in game credits with real money, I'm not that far into the game and yet I get a decent credit reward with each race and I am able to upgrade my cars and end up 1st in every race. I am tho worried about the reward reduction on those 16 races.

    I really hope PD will listen to the players and sort out these issues, again, the gameplay aspect is terrific and it would be a shame to see this game fail because of the aforementioned

    A shaky start but a year later and it’s the best Gran Turismo ever. Update 1.29 is epic. VR, Grand Valley and a taster of Polyphony’s new AI ‘Sophy’. GT is king once more.

    SONY not for the player anymore; they care only about the money cars are super expensive and all the upgrades SS Tire cost 38,000. Another issue is that online is a must for single-player in 2022, really ??? After all, the game is a fan when it works. The physics of the game are really good for the most part

    I'm reviewing my opinion because Poliphony Digital is backpaddling now and gave everyone 1000000 cr. for the trouble. They will launch a patch in April where they are suposadly fixing the economy and increase the payout of some races in 100%. I will return and increase score if they deliver.

    El juego es muy justo, le restan muchas cosas, y el online obligatorio lo que más de todo, en resumen, pocas carreras, modo café repetitivo y poco a aportar más, no tengo sensación de juego de carreras de coches, pareces mas bien un misionero que un piloto.

    Coches inasumibles, micropagos y online obligatorio resta mucho!

They need to force a grindy incomplete game on you and shove you towards microtransactions every step of the way because that’s the future for corporate video games. The game loses all its passion for racing by making these moves and I’m so disappointed that it happened to a series I really loved

I like a lot about the game but I really dislike that it has to always be connected to the internet to really play it and the micro transactions are on another level. It would cost well over $100 to buy some cars in the game and that is just absolutely rediculous.

But the trust built up over 25 years is gone, I may buy this game when it is heavily discounted in a couple of years assuming the internet connection BS is removed for single player because the gameplay was teriffic, but never again will I pre order any full priced game from Sony after this debacle.

    Basically we the players have just been employed to beta test a game but instead of paying us to do so they are charging us for doing their work,
    As it stands at this moment THIS GAME IS A SCAM.
    There is no point in talking about the game play as most players wont be able to get past the fact that they are being ripped off.

    The last time I played GT was on PS2 I think? I remember really enjoying it playing with friends. Since I was able to snag a PS5 I wanted to give it a try. I've been playing for about 5 hours and loving it so far. I was worried about needing to be online in order to play but I haven't had any issues yet.

    The Cafe idea is dumb
    Physics are not as impressive as those on GT3-GT6
    Car selection is shallow
    Track selection is “where are the GT3-GT6 tracks” type of thing.
    Always online - ? Screw that
    Some cars are way too expensive yet you don’t win enough money from races

    I have been playing the GT series for many years starting all the way back in the PS1 era and progressing as they have been released. I have to say, this one has disappointed me the most.

    Visually, the game is stunning. Cars, scenary and weather effects are incredible. Audio wise the game is also doing a great job. Now comes the negative. The game simulates driving realistically

    Visually, the game is stunning. Cars, scenary and weather effects are incredible.
    Audio wise the game is also doing a great job.

    Now comes the negative.

    The game simulates driving realistically but doesn't simulate cars very well. A few examples

    F Type Jag, a rear wheel drive car that in Gran Turismo under steers at 30MPH and understeers on full lock with your foot down. I would argue doing this in real life would leave you with a tail happy car spinning in circles :)
    Most of the Mazda models in this game are from a generation with G-Vectoring in real life which have very well balanced steering but again, suffer badly from understeering.
    Ironically, most of the Audi's in this game don't suffer from understeering :)

    Now, I know this might seem rather pedantic to pick up on a car not being 100% realistic but when you factor in how much Polyphony want if you were to purchase these with microtransactions, I would argue the cars should be designed to feel as realistic as possible (or atleast the expensive ones). Most of the cars I drive in this game suffers from under steer (this is with the traction control off and not using brakes around a corner) and all feel very samey to me. For me, I found the cars in this game only really differ on how quickly they go.

    Then there is the move to nerf in-game payouts just after the critical reviews were released, this was a delibirate attempt to boast the quality of the game and then make it nearly unplayable without paying real life money for the vehicles. The story mode is the same as most of the more recent Gran Turismo's, rather fun but not very long or enjoyable. I much preffered the story of GT3 to be honest.

    Since GT7 has now bumped the payouts back up since the onslaught of angry fans I will rate this 5/10. 10/10 for Audio and Visual, 5/10 for gameplay and 1/10 for being anti-consumer with their actions.

    Overall, I feel the game could have had far more single player content and feels like a GFX enchanged version of GT6. The multiplayer is ok but if you are interested in Multiplayer, I would stick with GT Sport (it's pretty much the same).

    Online was a joke at the start with tuning because if you didn't have the same tune that literally everyone else had to copy then you're not competitive. so I'm at least glad they went back to BOP.

    However visually its stunning and every car has great detail and sound along with great physics but I am greatly disappointed.

    All PD had to do was make an offline single player modeled after GT4 and just implement the sport mode that we know of from the previous title. It is that simple!!! you then appease to everyone.

    Nope we just got an unfinished rushed title.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    The driving in this game is superb and while update 1.09 has resolved some of the issues (increasing the credits limit is a welcome change) , the game needs way more content.

    Love the game, just not the fact it works out about £160 in microtransactions to buy a the most expensive car, Sony didn't even include the microtransactions in the version for the media to review and added it afterwards. It will literally take forever to build up your garage unless you pay hundreds of pounds to buy credits. Yet again Sony and polyphony dig

    Requires internet connection to even play single player (probably to control their microtransaction currency). Server has been down for over 30 hours, not allowing me to even play my own game on my day off.
    Also it is pretty "grindy", hard to earn money, trying to force players into microtransactions

    So let‘s get to the negative: 1. Always-on mechanic in a Single Player game. We saw what happened when the server went down, the game is then basically useless. What will happen to the game once the servers will be shut down sometime in the future?
    2. Microtransactions: What on earth were they thinking here? First of all: there should be no microtransactions at all in a game like this. But when you implement make them at least reasonable and not as greedy as herr. They intentionally reduced the price money for races. These are the reasons why I can‘t rate it higher than 4 even thiugh K enjoyed the game itself.

    Tatsächlich nicht so gut wie erhofft..

    Ich selbst besitze die PS5 Disk Version des Spiels.
    Zu aller erst ist mir der deutlich zu hohe Preis negativ aufgefallen. 80 Euro ist unangemessen für das Spiel. Andere PS5 Titel sind objektiv besser und günstiger.
    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.

    Mal gebraucht für 20 Euro wäre tatsächlich wohl die bessere Wahl gewesen.

At least it had solid soundtracks in the past and some bare minimum of classic racetracks which we all know and love. Ingame economy is a joke, everything was designed to pressure you into buying very expensive credits. Took more than a few pages out of EAs book. First party developer, wow.

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.

The sounds are also amazing from the over 300 unique cars especially when using headphones. I really dislike the fact that this game requires an internet connection to play. 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...

My internet speed tho, apparently you need good internet..didn't think i got the right game because of the mini game sound of music is vary much a requirement you need to complete at least one to unlock the actual game... 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. They don't know your there most of the time and really like that racing line.. I have a feeling it's going to be a struggle to actually get past this tarrible starting for me before I can like it.

    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.
