    Developers made some very stupid and greedy decisions. The game is hamstrung by being required to be always online. So when servers go down for 24 hours, you can’t progress in any of your single player content, which is where 90% of the people who pick this game up play according to the trophy list.

The game is hamstrung by being required to be always online. So when servers go down for 24 hours, you can’t progress in any of your single player content, which is where 90% of the people who pick this game up play according to the trophy list. The sport mode (online races) has regularly not given me credit for poll positions and winning races. You now have to tune cars yourself to get them in regulation for races for sport mode. This is kind of fun at first but you may waste hours on a car that just isn’t capable of being competitive in the class it’s in regardless of how you tune it. GT sport at least did the tuning for you so you didn’t waste hours and credits attempting to get a car to be competitive, only to find out it’s just not possible with the current car you have. Main complaint for me though, is the always online addition. I get that for multiplayer game modes, but why when the servers go down on the games end, is it not designed to still work and let you play single player content? Just a dumb design. The game will essentially be dead when servers turn off. There will be no way to play this game in the future like there is for the old GT games of the past. It’s pretty sad. Expand

Cars looks like if they were stickers on the screen. I now know why they only wanted to show inside car perspective. The size of the cars sometimes haves no sense at all and are tiniest or bigger than the others. Graphics looks like a PS3 game, but the worst thing is the macrotransactions system. You get cornered to end buying with real money the good cars, and this make a difference because someone with a expensive car will always be better than you. This game is a nonsense... Why do this game have this pay to win system as if were free to play? Even Halo's multiplayer (free to play) does not have this and all you can buy is just cosmetic things. Games like Forza Motorsport 7, with 5 years old, looks better and have better physics. Even Driveclub had better things than this, but Sony let the franchise die and now is doing the same thing with Gran Turismo. And I want to say this: if you let Sony do this sort of maneuvers, this practices will become a standard in the industry for worse. Gran Turismo value is 70 dollars and is mean to be a game as service title. Expand

I’d be fine with the same costs as gt sport but we already paid $70 for this game, there shouldn’t be any micro transactions if they are going this route. Also some of the best cars are only available for a limited time or hidden behind an time sensitive buy invite. Don’t purchase until the developers fix it, if they ever do. If I could get my money back I would. I thought this was going to be a safe preorder, and should have been if not for the greed. Expand

    Started out great then I reach end game and they patch out all the high credit rewards, if I want a 2 million credit card pay $40 or play for 20 hours, the 5 hours grind tracks and races replaced with 50% less and 70% less rewards forcing players who paid $70 for a game to buy cars. Avoid playing. This game is made bad to get you to buy credits and it will only get worse every patch.

    Sony has made the flagship race simulator franchise into an online-only, microtransaction-filled abomination.

    They said: "how can we maximize profits with this game?" And it reeks of corporate design. Say 'NO' to games that require an online connection. Say 'NO' to games that try to milk you with microtransactions, in-game "currency", etc. Pure shameless cash grab.

    The game honestly started out great, but the flaws quickly came to light. Online only, meaning if/WHEN the servers go down you can't do anything. Additionally, they reduced how much you make from races, then say they don't want plays to have to repeat the same race over and over to get money...leaving just microtransations.

    Gran Turismo is known for being the realistic sort of racing game, it's ironic that the people tasked with making the latest entry after so many years are so far removed from said reality.
    The realism got pushed so far that it went straight into a parody, with microtransactions taking the center stage, since as the developers have said, they wanted to replicate the real car culture by making the cars so expensive that most people can't afford it.
    Some cars costing more than the game itself, and some costing literal hundreds of dollars.
    The Devs lean so far into this element that they even keep track of the real world car market, and raise the in game prices to reflect it.
    Don't worry though, if a certain real car dropped in price, its game counterpart... Will also raise in price.
    At every step the Devs make sure to let us know that the microtransactions are the priority, and the actual game is only a shell to enable it.
    As such, in my opinion there's no point in discussing the game itself, no matter how well done (although it has its own share of problems) it's just simply a disgrace.
    If you were the Gran Turismo fan back in the day... My condolences.

    El caso de GT/ lo podríamos catalogar como de estafa calculada. Esperaron a que la prensa diera su veredicto, para luego cambiar todo el sistema de monetización y con ello destruir un buen juego. Sony deben entender que los jugadores no son tontos y que estas cosas se castigan.

    Just bought the game, wanted to play local multiplayer, yet after 30 minutes and long AF intro i am still in some manuals and explanations and can't even play the damn game, wtf?!
    Always connected, servers down, in-game purchases and overpriced in-game purchases, incredubly slow progression, looks worse than some other much older racing games = 0 Sadly..

    I also would rather spend $40 on a new game like Nintendo Switch Sports or Tunic than to spend $40 on a bunch of hi resolution models of one singular car for an already $70 game.

    Hope GT developers will read this: please we love this game, just remove always online and fix the economy of the game, we want to race not working to get a car... we all already have a job , we don't need another job

    God this game is annoying. You can only play it when server are live which is never when I can play (Australia). You cannot even play couch co-op without the server live… this is just the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a game.

    It has also just become a pay to win type of game when they decided to need the credit for each circuit. Don’t buy it until the fix it

    $70 with microtransactions? Single player online only? launching predatory features after the release? Sony is no longer the place for gamers.

The game play is great but the way that PD have gone about trying to force you into microtransactions by buying credit from the play store for a $60+ game is disgusting. The roulette spins expire for no reason and when you use them you either win the lowest prize money or an invitation to buy an expensive car that is normally locked (this invitation also expires). You don't have enough time to save enough money to buy the car that you have an invitation for so this can cause FOMO and some people may buy into the extra credits. You can't sell the cars you don't want/ have duplicates of, this is obviously done so that you are again forced into buying the extra credits. People found ways to earn money quite quick by grinding some races, PD quickly patched them races so they're not worth it now. For some unknown reason the game, even when playing single playing is online only so this 1.07 patch that was botched has now not allowed anyone to play any of the single player campaign for nearly a full day as you need connections to the server. The campaign itself is a little Short and it needs to add a few more endurance races (I know you can set up a custom race but it's not the same). In my opinion I feel as though PD have basically joined the rest of gaming industry with their greed and money first over customers. Like I said the core mechanics that the game developers have worked on are great, the physics feel good and the weather is amazing. It's the bolt ons that they have been done to monitized this game that have killed it. Expand

    ----------------------
    Pro:
    The game looks amazing.
    Runs amazing.
    There are many cars to collect.
    This game is packed with features to enjoy.
    Feels much like old game series with buying upgrades. and taking care of your cars.

    Cons:
    The physics seems spot-on for some cars, but for other like low cheap cars, I feel like I'm driving on ice, for example, the 500 Fiat race, the car's max speed is 55 mph and the turns are very large the car is just skating across the road as if my tires are made of plastic. It leads me to think that they build this game more towards the end game with racecars.

    It does have a pay-to-win feature that is never accepted by the gaming community. This feature can take away that magic of the made the game feel so rewarding in prior versions which is earning your car through the grind.

    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.

    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.
