    buen juego pero como siempre la experiencia obligatoria del online hace que sea una mierda, hoy mismo se ha dejado ver claramente, a eso le sumamos que encima la nueva actualizacion ha reducido las ya de por si bajas recompensas en cuanto a CR.

    I love the GT7! Not really a great game, but I don't agree with the policy of the game, for which I paid 80 EUR in the Playstationstore. Race rewards are ridiculously low and the game is a big grind for better cars. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that as an adult working person. The main thing is that there are microtransactions that are incredibly overpriced.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The visual’s and sound and racing, licences the whole driving and gameplay are awesome. Where GT7 falls flat on its face is the grind and severe lack of reward for buying cars in what is meant be a car collecting game. I will rate this game 90+% as soon as these race rewards and payouts are addressed. To even buy 1 rare car could take 2 weeks of grinding. To make matters worse the developers needed the races being used to grind cash in a pure money grab to try and get users to pay for credits. Katz I love your games but this micro transaction drive on something I paid 150aud for is a joke… Expand

    Driving alone it the best in the series but the broken economy with focus on micro transactions (even more with patch 1.08) with fomo on top on that( the way legendary car market is designed). It's the gt with the lowest payouts in the series to date.

    You need to be always online to play single player portions of the game. The reason for this? I can only surmise as pushing for live-service BS in the future. The car parts are also grindy. The credits that you earn are meager. Each time that you win, there is literally an option for you to top up credit by purchasing them with real money using the PS store. This is an absolute shame and I truly pity Polyphony Digital. This decision was clearly made by Sony themselves and has nothing to do with the devs.

    It sucks really, because the game itself is a big step up from GT6. The graphics, the details to cars, the audio, the presentation...etc. But all of it take a backseat to the egregious monetization practices. Do not support this at any cost.    … Expand

    Driving is ok, or it would be if you could play the game when you want to, wich you can't since even the solo is behind an online DRM and not available when server are down. Also the game, sold full price, has free to play mechanics asking you to grind indefinitely to buy just about any car... DISAPOINTING, a huge step back for playstation exclusives

    Pero lo que si que se puede valorar es el trato al usuario, y como un jugador ilusionado por volver a esta saga tras muchos años, lamento decir que el juego me ha dejado muy mal sabor de boca.
    Los motivos son los mismos que todos conocemos:
    1 - Mas de 30 horas sin poder jugar a los dos días de comprarlo por culpa de un sistema que favorece al que piratea y castiga a quien gasta entre 70 y 100 euros por un juego en su lanzamiento. Lejos de agradecer el apoyo que damos al juego comprándolo ahora, este te recompensa imponiendo una política de conexión online permanente que afecta hasta el modo campaña individual, impidiéndote jugar en caso de que los servidores se caigan (como fue el caso).
    2 - Un sistema de juego que implementa unos micro-pagos tan agresivos que te "obliga" a pasar por el aro si no quieres morirte del asco repitiendo la misma carrera 300 veces hasta alcanzar los créditos necesarios para poder avanzar sin dejarte media vida jugando. Se nota la dificultad artificial implementada de forma maquiavélica para que los que no pueden permitirse dejarse 3 mil horas para disfrutar del juego completo.

    Resumiendo: una jugada muy sucia que se ha visto reflejadas en las notas y desde luego se vera reflejado en posteriores compras de esta compañía. Por mi parte intentaré disfrutar del juego lo poco que me permita y acabaré mal-vendiendolo en cuanto pueda.    … Expand

    There is a great racing game in Gran Turismo but it is tainted heavily by monetization and DRM.
    You can't sell cars anymore, earning credits in races and the gamble system where you can win prices in a roulette are clearly tuned to give the player as less as possible. If this was a free to play game it would be logical but I paid 75 euro's for what is a glorified mobile game!

    I play the game only as a single player but you always need to be online (DRM) and the other day for 30hours the game was unplayable due to a badly tested patch and the lack of a rollback scenario, only because the game is a "game as a service".
    The whole microtransaction crap was introduced AFTER the reviews for the game where out. As a consumer and (former) fan of GT I never was informed by this toxic practice. It's clear PlayStations arrogance we saw at the start of PS3 is back in full force and I don't like it.
    I will not buy any PlayStation games anymore on release as the company can't be trusted. Check if there has DRM (even in single player games) and forms of monetization in the full priced game, if so, then don't buy it, don't let Sony ruin gaming with their toxic attempt to make games as a service!    … Expand

    Visually stunning, good tuning upgrades, excellent racing model with very good handling. Probably second only to Assetto in terms of satisfying sim handling. Not as realistic, but still very enjoyable. Good range of cars.

    That bit there ^^^ that's why this has three points out of ten rather than zero. That's it. Now....on to the negatives. The many, many...MANY negatives. There are    Visually stunning, good tuning upgrades, excellent racing model with very good handling. Probably second only to Assetto in terms of satisfying sim handling. Not as realistic, but still very enjoyable. Good range of cars.

    That bit there ^^^ that's why this has three points out of ten rather than zero. That's it.

    Now....on to the negatives. The many, many...MANY negatives. There are little niggles and huge, outrageous flaws and everything in between. But I'll start with the biggest issue:

    - Microtransactions. MTX for short. I have never, ever seen a AAA game implement MTX this disgustingly. It's jawdroppingly shameless. For those of you who don't know what GT7 consists of - well you have to unlock the cars before you can drive them. That means buying them using in=game credits. This is normal in modern AAA racing games. You can also spend real money, in the real world, to buy in-game credits. This is less normal in AAA racing games but it happens, and it's just one of those horrible things we all have to put up with because GTAV started the trend and also because there is no god.
    So GT7 has these microtransactions. How bad can it really be though? Surely if other games have them it's okay for GT7 to have them too? You naive fool, let me explain just how bad it is in this game: the legendary cars, the really expensive ones, cost 20m credits. How much is that in MTX? Well, about £150. £150 for a single car. In a carlist that numbers in the 400s.

    So how do you earn money in-game? Grinding. How long would it take to earn the 20m credits for that legendary car? FOURTEEN HOURS. Fourteen hours grinding the most profitable race, a mindnumbing hour long race.

    So you either spend fourteen hours grinding for that car or you spend £150 of your own real money. Either way...you are a f***ing idiot.

    But there's the roulette system right? The system where you occasionally get to spin a roulette wheel which has some tasty prizes on it. That sounds like a decent way to mitigate the grind and the MTX...right? Wrong, as wrong as you can be. The roulette system is so laughably foul, so ridiculously, comically evil, it's like it's laughing at you when you spin it. Because it's rigged. It's openly rigged. This isn't some suspicion that paranoid GT users have - it's been demonstrated. It's rigged to fall on the smallest reward, and it does so deterministically and with obvious contempt for the playerbase.
    To me the wheel sums up GT7's economy. They didn't even bother to hide the fact that it's skewed. Polyphony don't seem to care that you know.

    All of that makes the game a miserable experience for a newcomer like myself. I want to get into it...but it hates me and wants me to go away.

    Of course, that one issue of the game's economy is more than enough to put any sane person off the game for good. But Polyphony wanted to make sure, so they added in hundreds of little ones too:

    - visual customisation is absolute bumsauce.
    - the clutch implementation in the game is bewildering.
    - the UI and general menu system were designed by a madman.
    - the chase camera is locked to the car in a way that turns off anyone who's come from playing any other racing game made this century. It would take a modder about six or seven minutes to fix this. Polyphony's take is 'f*** you, we're unique'. Yes, but not in a good way.
    - the career mode, single player in other words, is truly rubbish.

    Etc. I'm going to stop now otherwise I'll still be here tomorrow. This game is utterly disgraceful, and I cannot believe that the short term benefit of raking in money from halfwitted MTX whales could possibly outweight the long-term disaster of turning so many people off this franchise completely. Add to that the general slow, laborious, grudging way that the developers respond to any complaints, the stubbornness with which they approach a videogaming genre that has changed radically since GT first arrived on the scene, and you have a recipe for alienating huge numbers of paying customers, very quickly, forever. Genius!

    There's a great driving model underneath it, but really...who cares? A scorpion is a brilliantly evolved creature, but it's still a c***. I don't usually approve of review bombing, but in this case it's completely justified.    … Expand

    El juego a mejorado gráficamente y en rendimiento respecto al Sport, aunque a veces desaparecen lo alerones mágicamente. El juego te lleva de la mano con el modo café cómo si no hubieras cogido un coche en tu vida. Ausencias de diálogos, todo el rato chapas por escrito cómo si fuera un rpg de Super Nes.

    Después de terminar este modo, no hay mucho más que hacer, salvo superar tiempos, el modo Sport, y estar cientos de horas farmeando las pruebas para obtener unos pocos créditos para comprar coches. Eso no es divertido.

    También destacar que el juego necesita conexión permanente y que contiene micro o macro pagos. Hace unos días con una actualización no se pudo jugar al juego, ni si quiera ver tu garaje. Una vergüenza.

    Sigue sin haber colisiones en pleno 2022. El modo Sport es peor que el de GT Sport. El modo para un jugador de GT Sport es más completo que el de GT7. El modo Sport parece carreras de coches de choque y el sistema de penalizaciones está mal implementado.

    Las ruletas de premios apestan.

    A veces recibes invitaciones para comprar coches exclusivos durante un tiempo limitado, suelen ser muy caros y con los pocos créditos que dan por carrera se hace casi imposible adquirir el que deseas. Quizás ese coche no vuelva a salir y no lo puedes conseguir salvo... SI PAGAS!

    Básicamente te cobran hasta por cambiar la pintura. El juego te sugiere continuamente gastar dinero en micro pagos. Si fuera un juego free to play lo podría entender, pero señores de Polyphony, me he gastado 80€ en esta basura.

    Lo único que puedo destacar de forma positiva, es el control con el dualsense.

    Ahora ya están alegrando cosas, pero señores de Polyphony, el daño ya está hecho y decidí deshacerme de semejante basura. Cualquier juego de la saga de Psx y Ps2 le da mil vueltas a este GT7.    … Expand

    The game is full of bugs and annoyances, they are HUGE and repelling.

    I've been with the franchise from the very first beginning on PS1 and am a huge fan, but regretfully, my honest, but sad opinion is that this game is an Easter egg itself and a disappointment for the whole gaming world. It looks like a pathetic hasty twitch of PD to just pick the fruits of its legacy. I haven't read    The game is full of bugs and annoyances, they are HUGE and repelling.

It looks like a pathetic hasty twitch of PD to just pick the fruits of its legacy. I haven't read or heard any positive comment for the game (endorsements and paid marketing excluded).

    They've managed to build a game that destroyed its own bequest and dispersed one of the biggest and most loyal fans community. Now we are left with nothing else to enjoy, apart for some PC sim racing outdated solutions. Very sad what it has come to...

    - FFB? It is non-existing at all since 1.15! Has anyone noticed that Circuit Experience on Tokyo Expressway is so unbearably impossible after 1.15 update, compared to before? Try it out again, if you have completed it before.

    - Silver prize in CE - what happened to it? Is it cursed or what? Why only gold and bronze?

    - why 15 laps/24 min. races instead of 24h? More competitive/strategic/historical endurance races with huge rewards would keep us pinned.

    - if the AI just barely touches you from behind or side, you immediately lose all control or spin out, even if you drive the truck and they drive the Mini! If you ram into them with full might, either from the side or behind, it is like you've hit the brick wall!? And that is what they call the real driving simulator!? Ahahaha. Maybe in some alternative universe...

    - there were so many lame bugs in the beginning, that it seemed they do not have a beta testing team at all! I created so many perfect Setting Sheets for so many cars, only to find out later they do not exist anymore!? Heeelloooo? Now I do not have a desire to do anything, it is like someone is sabotaging the whole project internally!

    - every AI always, but always tries to spin you out of track when you overtake them. They do not respect the blue flag at all, they even tend to block you not to lap them. Realistic sim driving for sure.

    - some very old games (for DOS/Windows 95), like Indy 500, Screamer, RBR, N4S Porsche have slightly better physics.

    - GT6, 5 and 4 were way more attractive, meaning this GT7 is just a graphics makeup of them, bringing nothing new except the tiresome Sports mode, non-functional multiplayer Lobby and useless and annoying offline mode, never-ever seen as such in the history of this world's gaming!

    - text speaking characters? Sarah reminding you to take a deep breath and try again?! So annoying and time consuming, that after seeing her, my only desire is to turn off the PS5 or play Mortal Kombat, if only it had the Sarah character to beat her up!

    - prices of most Legendary Cars are so unreasonably high, like it was meant not to have them. I cannot afford any new cars, just like in real life!

    - the purpose is micro transactions. What were they thinking? The naming is utterly wrong here! It should be renamed to Macro transactions, since you need to spend $200 to buy 20M credits in order to buy 1 legendary car! Hellooooo?! It should be forbidden by a UN charter of Human Rights. If you bought a game once, why should one pay more? Because management and development teams do not have enough imagination to create content interesting enough to intrigue you to play and play.

    - there is so much potential to implement many more interesting missions, historic races like 1000 Miglia, Monte Carlo races and rallies, the old Tour de France and many many more. But no, lack of imagination and ambition is what is more valuable or shall we say profitable.

    - some Gr.1 cars handle like a tart in cosmos hit by a meteor and AI drives them like blind drunk monkeys. Gr.3 and 4 cars being undrivable before the update to being more stable then Gr.2 cars after the update? If that was the case in real life there would be no racing in the world at all!

    - so much marketing noise about raytracing, where it only exists in demo cut-scenes and replays. It is basically the same as GT Sport or GT5 enhanced with 4K.

    - this game is not so much about racing, as it is a Pokémon of a game - collecting cars for a museum. It should have a slogan: Real Car-Collecting Museum! Why not connecting the earned/bought iconic car with unlocking a historic event where it shined/became famous?

    I have so many cars (that I did not buy!) distracting me when changing cars, that I just give up on racing and just close the game. Why not implement an option which can be turned off/on that the last chosen view (when changing cars) should be remembered? It is just a dozen lines of code.    … Expand

    - Offline means almost nothing to play. What? Not even the solo campaign??? No.
    - Too many micro-transactions pushing to buy 2-3 million CR cars, when you can earn 50'000 in a 15 minutes race...

    The graphics are stunning. The use of the dual sense is some of the best. The car handling is on par with the series. It's the maybe second best at that in my opinion. That's a compliment.

Instead, it's also a game that costs 70 dollars witth despicable cash grabs that feel like should have been included. A car pass a la Forza and previous GT games. That's fine. I get that. A lot of work goes into those. But in game currency?

    Naw. That ain't it. I'm tired of making excuses for Sony. I'm tired of hearing about the price of the games. I'm tired of the certain critics over praising their games just because they've been conditioned to (to be fair Polyphony added the micro transactions AFTER reviews were out.) I don't care about console war bull crap. But it misleads consumers. And that's where it is a problem. This game is barely improved over the best GT games of old as far as game design. However, I'm glad it is actually like those games instead of the awful games in the series recently. This is great. The problem is, aside from graphics, I feel like they just added window dressing to old games. And the menu and unlock system is done very strange. I feel like I'm ordering at a restaurant instead of playing a racing game. I'm being hard on it. I am. But I expect more from not only Polyphony, but Sony. I actually may just stop buying their games (Sony). Unless they go on amazing sale, or are given to me. Because I'm tired of being hoodwinked. Even Forbidden West, why is no one talking about how big of a graphical difference there is between the game and their trailers. All I heard was "Sony doesn't have to fool us, this is what it looks like. And just imagine the fact it's not finished. It'll look even better." And the story in that game. Worse than the first. Sorry this isn't an HFW review. I'm just bugged in general that Sony is getting a pass. People are actually praising some of these decisions. The cars look good in this game. Really good. But that's not unique to the game. Forza and even Grid Legends have great car models. So the gameplay right? Nope. This game feels like a simulator of an arcade racing simulating a racing simulator. I know that doesn't make sense now, but you'll get it when you play it. It is all over the place. It's not awful. But it's not an 8/10 game or a 9/10 game after all that considered. They simply went back to the roots of the series, used the power of new tech to make it look better, changed how they present it all kinda, and now are charging people for fake money to buy these fake cars. Just do a car pass. Don't ever ever ever sell in game currency in games that aren't free to play. It's so bad. And to top it off, the game is a grind. And I can't help but wonder, did they finally go back to the grindy CarPG roots of the series just so they could get people to buy the currency????

    I think so. And you're lying to yourself and us if you say you don't think so. Anyway. 5/10. At best. But I'm giving it a 4 just for the extra 10 bucks i had to spend on this one. And for the awful micro transactions. Oh actually, another point for the always online crap. 2/10    … Expand

    The KOKOROS are going crazy wanting to make money in a hurry. What is happening with Japanese developers?
    Games that are online in single player on ps4 and ps5 for what? There's no piracy. Take the game offline if not the day the server stops working no one else plays. Remember Gran Turismo 5 multiplayer? No longer supported.

Cafe mode isn’t even interesting, all you do is start last in a “rolling start” where the leader is 40 seconds ahead meaning you have to race your way 1st. Only reason they do rolling starts and no standing starts is because the game’s AI is complete garbage so instead of fixing the terrible AI they’d rather have you try and gain 40 seconds in 5 laps. Not so hard to do cause as I said, the AI are garbage and your just cruising past them. This is incredibly boring and not what a “racing” is at all. Shame it’s what over 90% of the content in this game is.
    They didn’t even bother to add any new cars. It’s the same old stuff from GT sport and there’s not many new circuits. I don’t know what they spent their time doing during the development of this game cause it honestly seems like they did nothing and remembered they had to actually make GT7 in the last 5 months.

The actual career mode (Café) is pretty short. In some areas GT7 looks a few generations older game. For example; the Cafe owner, and the e-sport GT players (basically every character in the game), are communicating with us across a simple text bubble. Seriously???

Not a simple text to read.
    Or interactive videos! That's how you do it. But text? So disappointing!

Fully customizable and mapable HUD!!! Proper race weekends, with qualifications. Game data out via UDP!

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

Of course, graphics are great as always. But they have been awesome since GT3. This is not the main reason for playing a new Gran Turismo anymore. At least not for me. More important is now gameplay and game structure. And here we are: I don‘t pay 70 Euro just for slightly better graphics compared to GT Sport. So what is with the rest of the game? Is it worth it? In my opinion it is not. One main reason is the in game currency. It has been there ever since GT entered gaming but nowadays they want you to pay real money to get enough in game credits. So if you are like me and neither have the time to grind endless hours for some virtual cars and upgrades nor want to spend additional money for in game stuff that has already being purchased within the game price (70 Euro), what will you do? I say: don‘t waste any money and don‘t waste any time for a dirty business practice. Yes, I know. GT Sport has had microtransactions as well. But they were not as aggressive. Now earning in game credits has become harder to simply force someone into paying real money for it. I will not support this. Update 18.03.22: With a new update they made it even harder to earn in game credits (only half of the old in game price money for won races).
    Some other aspects leading to my decision to not buy the game:
    - after GT Sport came without classic GT circuits there are now only a few of them back in GT7. Some of the all time fan favorites are missing again
    - Rain and daytime effects are finally there but - again - not available on every track
    - again no damage model for the cars
    - the online mode with three daily races is the same as it was in GT Sport. Zero innovation.
    - last but not least the publisher decided to not offer the game to Russian players because of Russias war against Ukraine. What has this to do with someone in Russia who want‘s to play a PlayStation game? I don’t go along with this kind of collective punishment.    … Expand

    After uninteresting releases in the franchise, GT7 promised to return to its roots, but unfortunately Polyphony's greed didn't allow it. The game has two major STRUCTURAL problems, that is, it is unlikely (not to say impossible) that they will be fully resolved.

    1 - The game can only be played online, even if you do NOT want to play online. Some people can even do basic races if they are not connected to the game server, but I (and several other players) have been blocked from accessing the game while their servers have been offline for more than 24 hours recently, that is, I paid for something but just didn't could play.

    2 - Broken reward system. The grind of the game is extremely difficult as the prices of the cars are VERY high, this would normally be fine if the rewards of the races were proportional, but this is not the case, on the contrary, the reward in credits (the in-game currency) was already far less than ideal, and recently released an update REDUCING these rewards. The reason for this is clear: making it more difficult to buy cars and in-game mods by forcing "non-hardcore" players to buy in-game currency with real money (yes, a fullprice game with EXPENSIVE microtransactions). The game director's justification is a legitimate joke with the players... "To give more realism (...) I don't want players to keep repeating the same race over and over again". Well, it seems that the solution found did not resolve your points raised.

    In short: do not buy now, it is possible that they will improve this situation a little in the future, and until then the price of the game should fall. It's sad to see a legendary franchise being disrespected by the creator himself. Greed is really something that increasingly haunts the gaming market.

The entire career function of the game is gone, there’s very low pay outs for the races available and access to the cars you love and want is hidden behind a slow rotation in a used car market, and high end cars being invited purchases with a limited window to purchase. All designed to give the player “FOMO” and entice MTX purchases.A completely rigged roulette prize wheel that pays out the lowest reward 9/10 times. Wheel support is the most lacking in the series history, leaving little feeling of how the car behaves. The new tire physics model is broken, every car over steers and understeers at the same time.

This is not a game that you can jump in and out of easily.

    Once the nostalgia wears off this is an annoying and badly padded out game. Music rally is a bit of fun for 5 minutes, then becomes redundant. Navigation is annoying, it's not intuitive, and everything has a sub menu or dialogue piece behind it, meaning that you have to press 20 buttons just to do one thing, like actually start a race. During actual game play (you know, when you're not repeatedly hitting buttons to cancel dialogue that's irrelevant and repetitive, or hitting X 10 times to advance one screen...) on the topic of dialogue, the pop up dialogue in/during licences is mostly condescending, and definitely annoying. The graphics are comparable to GT Sport, in some cases worse-walls/barriers being rendered only a couple of hundred metres up the road, and we're talking edge of track artefacts directly in your eye-line, not walls on buildings way off the racing line, is a bit ridiculous considering the era, and looks daft on a 55" 4k display. Although, shadows are probably better, there is barely any difference between the PS4 and PS5 versions though, glitching in the arms when turning in cockpit view is really frustrating, for a brief moment it looks like you've clipped something and are about to spin off, or smash into something. I initially wasn't concerned about the always online requirement. The difference a day makes, Sony/PD can turn this game off whenever they choose. Duff updates that hobble the game, stacking the deck against the player from achieving pre determined goals. Support for wheels is somewhat lacking, there is inconsistent feel for kerbs and bumps. Online racing is even more chaotic than the last 6 months of GT Sport, seriously, its like Destruction Derby 2022 out there... Which brings me to the continuing lack of a damage model, firstly if one was looking at the likelihood of damaging their car when they crash into someone it would incentivise them against doing so, secondly, they claim to be 'The Real Driving Simulator' smashing into a wall at 150mph spinning a couple of times, then being able to carry on as normal is a bit daft. Mentioning their old age tag line, why no qualifying in campaign races? Starting at the back every race is kinda like a 2000s arcade racer than a cutting edge current gen game. And the rubber banding is pretty crap too. The AI are an improvement over previous iterations, but they're still daft and turn in on/punt you as they clearly aren't programmed to know where you are. As for PD's decision in the latest update to reduce payouts for races, this is a harder nudge towards micro-transactions, which is just greedy, I paid £90 for the game, with no mention of these in reviews and feel ripped off, PD have shown that you don't own the game, you've paid to rent it until they decide to turn it off.    … Expand

    -The car list is mostly based on gt sport, most of the relevant cars released in the past 4 years are missing, but maybe this will change.
    -Frame drops in performance mode in some places.
    -The game feels rushed, after being delayed, it’s incredible taking in consideration that it is mostly based on a game released 4 years ago and 10+ years have passed since the last main entry.
    -2 weeks after release, they have lowered the cash prizes in order to favor microtransactions.
    -There is no way to contact the developer, 2 weeks after release I still don’t have the preorder bonus and can’t find an aswer for why it’s missing. This game is a scam.

    The good: -In some weather-lighting combinations the game looks amazing.
    -I do love the decal customization system.

I played a handful of the single player before realising that this game isn't so much about being a driving simulator as much as a combo simulator requiring you to press a variety of controls at the exact right time to achieve the desired effect, not fun. Take that and throw in the odd near-impossible gold time to beat for "challenge" & microtransactions for when the "challenge" becomes too much and you already have the boring, generic and repetitive idea of what this game is trying to be. Customisation is minimal compared to other games and some more advanced features like being able to talk into your mic to ask for updates etc. doesn't exist either. It feels like you slap on the most expensive parts and your good to keep winning easily. Graphics are awfully misleading to the point they feel like a scam, any sort of realism you see in a cutscene, photo etc. is literally just a staged concept of your car driving over a photo of a real location. In an actual race the graphics are basic, washed out and looking more like something out of Fortnite than realistic. The story is a complete cash grab, built for what looks like a child audience. Most of the people involved in the story don't have voice lines, the way the game talks to you feels almost patronising, after a few hours I could take no more and did the next best thing possible, deleted it.

    Better rewards for online race : yes it is needed. The rewards should be proportionnal to the difficulty. And the clean race bonus for online races should be much higher to motivate clean driving.

    Lobbies need to be fixed. Penalty system is bad.

    Custom races should have decent rewards too.

    As for selling cars we don't know the details yet, if it is like GT Sport it has nearly zero interest.

    New content will be interesting but won't conceal the big issues of the game.

    For the endurance races, I'd prefer it not be in missions, because I don't enjoy endurance and would like to be able to gold missions. If it is a race or a championship outside of missions, ok. And those who enjoy endurance will be able to gain the reward each time they do the race.
    And you better be able to save/pause for endurance races.

    Allways online should go, for all solo content.

    Original review :

    I've been waiting this game for years. And I am very disappointed by many aspects of it.

    Poliphony Digital went out of their way to shove micro-transactions in our mouth.

    And if it was not already bad, they patched it so earning money by playing the game is even harder now. But if you want you can pay a microtransaction to get that rare car you've received an invitation to buy. Beware... the invitation won't last long, better grind to death for days... or pay a quick micro-transaction.
    You loved racing online in GT Sport ? Well, beware too, you won't be able to, unless you follow the walled path to unlock the features you need (like MULTIPLAYER ONLINE...)

    And it will take you a lot of grind to get that precious GR3 car, oh and by the way, tuning is allowed, so if you want a slight chance to be competitive, don't forget to spend lots of credits on that, the parts are not free. Or else you can pay some micro-transaction to make the process faster.

    Ah and the used cars won't stay long in the shop, better buy your favorite cars as soon as you can. Worst for legendary cars.

    Did I mentionned you can pay micro-transactions to alleviate all that grind or get that rare car of which you don't know when you'll have both the opportunity and the money to buy later on?

    Oh and those talking heads repeating over and over the same lenient advices or "words of encouragement". OK Sarah I know I screwed up for the nth time my circuit experience sector, I am already not happy, I'll gladly spare myself to read your comments again and again.

    You like to click all the time ? You'll love that game, the UI most have been designed by a sadist. For example, to go from one sector of circuit experience to the next, it will take you no less than 8 clicks, 8 ! A simple "Next" button was too complicated to design I guess.

    And I haven't said a word about bugs, savefiles crashs, credits loss...

    I know I won't buy GT8 (and the PS6) if PD do not steer the boat in the right direction. Right now we are in the swamps and it does not get better.

    Fancy some cool music ? There's plenty. Oh wait, the music changes every 3 seconds if you change spot on the world map. You wanted to listen that song ? Better stop what you were doing, because as soon as you change place, it will change to another one.

    Fancy classical music ? There's plenty too ! But it has been massacred buy some guy with an electronic mixer and digital beats and other craps.    … Expand

Seriously, don`t buy this game, especially not for PS5. The real driving simulator they say? More like the real grinding simulator. Or the Microtransaction pushing simulator.… Expand

    An unrealistic amount of time required to buy cars has made me stop playing a week after buying.

    Be aware that this is an online only game. Even if you aren't racing online, you need to contact the GT7 servers to play. If the game's company shuts down the servers, you will no loger be able to play. The game also has microtransactions to buy credits for new cars. This model isn't good for a $70 game. I don't recommend it.

    This game has potential, but doesn't live up to online standards of GT Sport and suffers from the loathed DRM in single player. It would also benefit greatly from adhering to proper race settings. Mostly gimmicky racing events lacking standing starts. Terrible AI, chase the rabbit nonsense.

    Ultimately, I hope to enjoy this one day, but shelving with today's update.

    Giving this game a 2, because the racing is amazing, and the level of detail is also incredible. However I can't play the game, I make almost no credits, and there's no communication from the company. This is the umpteenth time I learn from other sources what's wrong with the game. 5 hours trying to get gold with an F-150 to find out on reddit that it's bugged, and then try to fire it upGiving this game a 2, because the racing is amazing, and the level of detail is also incredible.

Love the game, despise the needless grinding and management. What I hate most of all, is not being able to sell cars. You can buy used cars, whose selling these used cars?… Expand

    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.
