    Can't play without internet. Oh well I'll live, but reducing the payouts and increasing the cost of vehicles, along with the ridiculous physics that make every car dance on ice unless you are a professional mechanic and understand every detail of car tuning make this game no longer enjoyable for casuals, it's is aimed at people with no job, no family, no children, no commitments.

    Avoid for now.

The credits are pennies. You can almost predict your daily rewards. I love to play in free time, I don't live to play. The developers did not have casual gamers in mind at all. Grind like 10 hours a day may be you can have your rewards, like 1 really good car but I don't have that much time. Expand

    Impossible to earn credits and you have to upgrade parts in most vehicles to make any race viable otherwise yours took castings no chance making it to 1st in 3 short laps when you start in last position every campaign race. And they announced they're making it harder to earn credits and raising the price of the vehicles even more than its predecessor Gosport.

    Random and poor car selection, ingame prices ridiculous high and ingame earnings very low, forces microtransactions everywhere. You have to grind like hell to get one (1) better car ( not to mention the prices for tuning) or pay like 120 Euros for an higher priced car… why polyphony?

    Let me start by saying this. I never write reviews. The fact that I had to create an account just to speak out on this game just shows how disgusted players are by the direction this game is heading.

    Polyphony Digital and Kaz Yamauchi should be ashamed of themselves. The GT series used to be so good and so pure - a lot of childhood memories came from this game. Unfortunately, they are ruining everything they worked so hard to build for. They wanted to make this game fun and accessible for everyone, however they did just the opposite. Reducing race rewards when it was already hard enough to earn credits in the first place is laughable and hypocritical. Like others are saying, you literally have to grind the same races for days or buy over $100 worth of credits just to buy ONE CAR!!! This is completely unacceptable and a huge slap in the face for GT fans and casual gamers who have lives outside of the game and just want to get on and hop into a race. Not only did they reduce the rewards, but the roulette ticket system was already cheap and rigged, and car invitations are very time-sensitive which can create FOMO. Polyphony won't admit it, as we've already seen in Kaz's weak *** apology, but the fact is they are just another GREEDY CORPORATION looking to MAXIMIZE PROFITS by PUSHING MICROTRANSACTIONS that aren't even worth much at all. Thanks capitalism!

    Another huge issue with this game is that it is almost 100% unplayable offline. You cannot advance in story mode or do any missions or license tests which is absolutely ridiculous, because most of the modes in this game are NOT online multiplayer. Not only is this a problem when players want to play during maintenance, but this is another huge slap in the face to players who may not have or lose access to an internet connection.

    Polyphony Digital you have embarrassed yourselves by going against everything we thought you believed in. You wanted to bring new players into the GT series and make it fun and accessible for everyone, yet your product shows that you have done the exact opposite. You never really cared about the players. You only care about profits. Even though the graphics and physics in this game are amazing, you have done everything to push old and new players away, making this game completely unplayable. We will not accept your BS and will continue to fight for what is right for the community.

The microtransactions! i’m so fed up with, especially after patching and nerfing the payouts! how are we suppose to buy these limited cars if we can’t even spend 6 hours just to grind for 2 million credits, 18.5 million for a mclaren, while yes i get they are trying to be realistic, but you might as well make the payouts realistic, i know damn well a racer who preforms in gr3 classes doesn’t get paid 5000 for 1st place. and don’t even get me started on the roulette tickets. absolutely rigged and you can’t do ANYTHING about it, you cant close the application and spin again in hopes give you a better item, no because the chances of you getting what you want in that roulette ticket, is the same chance of winning the damn lottery, payouts in the roulettes are ridiculous as well, 2000 credits for 1 stars most of the time, 5000 in the two stars, 3 and 4 stars should be giving you parts considering tuning is pretty expensive and it would atleast be nice to get a part for a car you OWN instead of a 1.8 million dollar car which you need to buy to apply the parts for. and my experience with the roulette have been frustrating, on my main account i got nothing but one or two gold bars (100k each) a ton of coins, and an invitation, i passed so many engine swaps it was so frustrating. in hopes to an engine swap, i made another account, spent two whole days grinding the game out, finishing, only to get the same thing in roulettes, only exception was getting one carbon drive shaft… i hope PD sees these critics and heavily changes their game, if they don’t then the game is only going downhill from here.

    With that said, Sony and Polyphony changed the reward balance and added microtransactions a few weeks after the reviews were printed. The implementation is highly abusive and encourages players to spend money at nearly every corner.

    They installed a player base and flipped the script a few weeks later. Consumers have every right to be angry. Reviewers have every right to be angry. Remember, folks. Before you purchase that $40 vehicle, you’re not purchasing a tangible asset. When Sony shuts off the servers a decade from now, you’re going to lose everything you “invested”. I cannot and will not support this game, or for that matter, any publisher that deals in deceptive and anti-consumer practices. Shame on you, Sony.

First of all all of the reviews didn't say anything about microtransactions when I bought this game. As far as I'm concerned when you pay $70 for something you should not have to give additional money and the developer has made it near impossible to earn a decent amount of income inside the game to buy cars without using physical money. They already have $70 of my money and I refuse to spend more money on Virtual cars when I can play other games like Forza horizon 5 and get a bunch of badass cars without paying for them. What's even worse than the micro transactions which were hidden from the initial reviews is that the game has kicked me out the very first time I tried playing it because the server went down I could only play for 20 minutes. Then I couldn't get into the game for about 30 hours because the server was down again when I try to play my second time. I asked Sony for a refund and they denied saying that they would not refund the game because I downloaded it. Of course I downloaded it I had to do that to find out it was broken. They started claiming I could not get a refund because of their policies. I said where in the policy does it say that you can charge me for a broken game and then they told me that I downloaded it therefore it can't be refunded even though the servers have issues and I can't play the game on the two occasions that I tried. Plus the micro transactions that were hidden from initial reviews of the game surprised the hell out of me. I also didn't know this was online only and their servers around reliable. Sony is the worst customer support I've ever seen and I would not recommend this game to anyone. I'll be waiting for the next Forza game on my xbox. Shame on you Sony for stealing money from hardworking people and hiding behind your policies and offering **** customer service. Expand

    First of all - let me play offline. Not this joke of a demo.
    The second thing - what the hell is going on with the car prices? Do you seriously think I am going to buy credits on top of a $70 game?

    Warn you, in real world if you ride a car and don’t like it you can sell it and get other things you like. Not in GT7, you need to sit there and do hundreds races again to buy another car… Microtransaction is a joke. The cars are so expensive you better save the money and get another console, racing in another platform. That’s a better investment of time and money and I think I couldn’t even sell my GT7 disc, no one wants it nowadays…

Players who have already purchased please initiate a joint refund. I like this game very much, although the graphics quality is limited compared to GTS, but the physics engine and control feel have improved significantly. However, there will be very undesired slippage during the game, and slippage occurs more frequently than in the previous game. There is no difference between the photo mode and GTS, basically copy and paste. But after nearly ten hours of playing, I felt more disgusting and couldn't make ends meet. The prize money is much lower than the GTS, and the prize money for completing two or three races is not enough to modify a car. And expensive car maintenance. Not to mention that a large number of cars have significantly increased their prices compared to their predecessors. The price of microtransactions is five times higher than that of the previous game. If you want to buy the car you like in the brand center, it is still a long way off. I've been playing for so long that I can only drive some slow cars that I don't like. And the lottery system is also very ridiculous. I can only draw the worst reward a dozen times in the lottery, which makes me very much doubt that my luck is really so bad? The whole game is simply a poverty simulator. For the GT series, each player has their own favorite way to play. I'm a casual gamer who likes to collect cars and occasionally challenge driving schools and missions. But my gaming experience was completely destroyed by the GT7's design. The 1.08 patch released by Kazuno Yamauchi reduced the prize money of a large number of popular events by more than 50%, making it more difficult for players to buy their favorite cars through the competition prize money, forcing players to buy cars with MTX. The reputation is that players do not want players to GRIND money through individual tracks. But Kazunori Yamauchi, you have to recognize this, I paid $70 to buy the game to support you, and how I want to play the game I bought back is my right and my choice. What qualifications do you have to teach me to do things? What qualifications do you have to halve the already low pitiful race reward to force me to buy your MTX? The GT7 is an absolute semi-finished product, a test water that Sony and Polyphony Digital are greedy for. It destroyed my years of love for the GT series. It doesn't deserve $70, and $20 is too expensive. My request: 1. Revise the economic system. 2. The lottery system is restored to the GTS version. 3. The price of MTX been reduced by 90% and returned to the price of GTS. Expand

You can't sell your unwanted cars or duplicate cars anymore in a so called simulation game, because they want to close any possible ways or gaps that you can earn quick credits. They have been always treated the supporters with absolutely no respect, the money we spent, the valuable hours we try to squeeze out to play the game. They lied to our face right from the beginning, and never told us the requirements of the game is that you need to either have time of the world, OR DEEP POCKET, OR DUMBASSES!!!! I gave up playing it after the update, I got other better games to attend to, GT7 is currently asleep until Sony and Polyphony fixes **** and give us more credit on races than when it was launched, I very much doubted.

And Good luck to all the GT fans out there. Have a good faith, remember, if GT fails (My gut feeling is telling me they will because you just can't change the mentality of greed behind the big corporate) which might not necessarily be a bad thing, it opens doors to new comers who would love produce a game for the love of it and benefits of players.

    And even in Performance mode, which will present the best graphics quality and resolution (it appears to be rendered at 1080p) still the graphics quality of the SONY Gran Turismo 7 game is absolutely disappointing, considering the 9.2 TFLOPs of graphics capacity promised by SONY for the SONY PS5.

    Just to give you an idea, the Take-Two GTA5 (SONY PS4 Pro version) looks better graphically than the SONY GT7 on the SONY PS5 console.

    In fact, running SONY Drive Club game (SONY PS4 version as it was never remastered even for SONY PS4 Pro), through Backward Compatibility mode on SONY PS5, SONY Drive Club still looks better graphically than GT7 on SONY PS5.

    When I say GRAPHICALLY, I'm referring to how real (close to reality) the image looks, I'm not referring to frames per second or resolution.

    Honestly, my disappointment is such that I would rather pay this price for the SONY Drive Club game remastered for SONY PS5 than this SONY Gran Turismo 7 game that disappointed me horribly in terms of Graphics Quality.

    SONY, forget about Ray Tracing, we want Quality Graphics!

    When it comes to gameplay, I still prefer SONY Drive Club. The only things I like about Gran Turismo 7 are the Museum, the Car Mall, and the fact that it's the same Car Simulator that follows the pattern of the Gran Turismo series, in addition to keeping the same Tracks from the series, as I did.

    But Graphically, the picture is so disappointing that I feel that I was assaulted by the high price charged by SONY for this SONY GT 7 game with these graphics that when playing on SONY PS5, it looks like they are actually being run by SONY PS4 Pro when it is running. in "Performance mode", and appears to run on a SONY PS3 when running in "Ray Tracing mode enabled".

    But the worst thing about a game, which is marketed in physical media, is the internet connection required to play, especially Career and/or Single Player mode.
    In fact, I really liked being able to play with split screen, me and 03 friends competing, with the screen divided into 04, using the same Console.

    That's why it's not worth buying the SONY PS5 or the SONY PS4... oh, how much regret.... The best is GT 6 on SONY PS3, there's no way... Besides, I have a 3D Projector with Active 3D glasses, and I have many Blu-ray Disc 3D movies, but only SONY PlayStation 3 supports 3D.

    SONY PS5 and SONY PS4/PS4 Pro will have an advantage over SONY PS3 only in the fact that it supports SONY PS VR, but the graphics quality on SONY PS5 should be much better than SONY PS4/PS4 Pro on VR.

    Anyway, the best game for SONY PS4/PS4 Pro & SONY PS5 is without a doubt the game: SONY Drive Club.
    The last best SONY Gran Turismo was GT6 for Career mode, and GT Sport for graphics.

    But between GT Sport and Drive Club, I prefer Drive Club, especially since Drive Club's graphics are better even than GT7's graphics (which are already better than GT Sport's graphics).
    That is, Drive Club is better than all games in the Gran Turismo series, including Gran Turismo 7, Drive Club is better, especially in graphics quality.

    GT7 is better than GT Sport in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT7 is the worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    GT Sport is better than GT6 in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT Sport is the second worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.

    GT6 is the best game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    On SONY PS3, there is no better racing game than GT6.
    On SONY PS4/PS4 PRO, PS5 there is no better racing game than SONY Drive Club, although it has not been remastered even for the PS4 Pro, so there will never be a remastered version for the PS5.

    The studio that produced SONY Drive Club was shut down by SONY for making the game stupidly better (in graphic quality) and better looking than any other racing game, humiliating the Gran Turismo series games in such a way that SONY shut it down. the Studio that produced Drive Club, in addition, SONY forbade the remastering of the Drive Club game for SONY PS4 Pro and SONY PS5, as the game was so graphically beautiful that it would make people repulse spending money and play Gran Turismo games.

    Gran Turismo Sport was released to try to make people forget about Drive Club, but the failure of "advance in graphics quality" between GT Sport and GT7 is so massive that it's impossible not to compare it to Drive Club and note that both, GT Sport and GT7, are inferior to the Drive Club, graphically.

    I recommend your last GT game to be GT6, only available for SONY PS3. If you have a SONY PS4/PS4 Pro/PS5, I strongly recommend, just play Drive Club & Drive Club VR. Stop wasting time with Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7!

    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.
