    This game was a flagship for Playstation platform but now ?

    This is just Gran Turismo Sport V2.0 and we paid for it again but that is not enough for PP because they want more money more and more money and because of it; They are lowering game credits, cheating on daily tickets, (4 stars tickets has 5000 credits and i won:) cant sell cars and evet you can not buy some of the cars

    Was enjoying the game but the more they update it and remove good payouts for races, it’s clear the focus is to get money from micro transactions

    A decent game ruined by **** rewards which is updated to make them even worse making the money payouts one one of the worst in the series history.

    It the most expensive cars in the series history just so the game can steer you into buying credits with real life money. Which it reminds you constantly every time you check your balance. Also, despite previous games allowing you to sell cars

    It the most expensive cars in the series history just so the game can steer you into buying credits with real life money. Which it reminds you constantly every time you check your balance. Also, despite previous games allowing you to sell cars and the description of GT7 mentioning you can in the PSN store it is in fact a lie and you can not sell any cars.
    It also uses a FOMO so if you don't have a few million credits just sitting in your balance then you will be forced to buy credits as the reward system doesn't allow you to work for the quantities required to get these cars in the time alloted.

    The always online connection required for essentially a single player game is ridiculous. Especially with it's unplanned outages making the single player aspects of the game completely unplayable.

    Polyphony Digital have a lot to answer for for this game and need to patch it to make the game playable off-line as well as fix the rewards and stop the the blatant push towards microtransactions.
    Making microtransactions available only after the games release once all the positive reviews were already out is a dirty tactic and not one I'd expect from this series or even a first party exclusive Sony game.

    The update they did, is also a mess. Return the credits PD as it was. And give us some credits as gift for the almost 30 hour trouble.
    Give engine swaps, give 6 speed transmissions to all the cars, give some more cameras to replay, give the photos we take to our pc, at 4K HDR resolution. Respect the gamers of your titles PD. And please Mr Kazunori Yamauchi, you were a race driver, give more realism to your game.

The Devs at PD have previously Brought great memories from the GT franchise however after every release they somehow manage to remove everything that players enjoyed and after this new title it has hit a point of absurdity. With many removed features from gt sport and the whole era of games it has now hit a new low. Multiplayer is a let down and the once thriving community is now devoid of fun player events like drag and drifting due to simple lobby options that have existed in all previous titles.

    The story campaign of becoming a professional driver feels like a half finished game. It's is currently lacking many enjoyable races to make in-game credits and no playing ground for their remarkable gt vision designs game credits and many different variations of races other than generic cars. The return of the tuning shop is a nice feature and allows players to enjoy customisation however it's is ridiculed by the fact that many options for buying cars and tuning cars which have such extreme costs via these in game credits that it outweighs the feature entirely

    It feels as though the game has been released on a beta stage and with a 2 day outage with no reports from the developers and the explanation eventually being released which was something nobody had experienced also a update removing even more potential earnings from playing the lackluster of races. No compensation was given for this matter either. You can purchase a multitude of in game credits with real currency however defeating the purpose of playing a game again.

The note of Polyphony is not to be surpassed in ridiculousness when they dare to say that they want players to experience as many cars in many ways as possible without feeling the need to buy credit via microtransactions. How? By reducing the credits per win and therefore making it even harder to earn credit? (*that was ironically speaking)

    As a normal player, you are being made fun of here. It seems, the only goal is to make as much extra money via microtransactions as possible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought this last week and haven't been able to plauvit more than 3 hours. Now I can't get a refund for this garbage. Forget about this being the worst sim of all time it's literally unplayable and has to be online. Wtf.

    I'm sticking with pc when it comes to driving Sims. That or maybe get and xbox finally. I've been wanting to play forza horizon and would like to try it and gamepass as well. This game has pushed me over the edge. It's time to upgrade to xbox and pc.

    I've been a huge fan of the GT series since its inception back in 1997. I can't believe how far the franchise has fallen. GT7 is basically a carbon copy of GT Sport, but now they pretty much force you to spend real money for cars. I remember when a 24 hour endurance race in GT4 used to reward with near 1M credits. Now,

    This game is unplayable offline. If servers are down for “maintenance” you effectively can do nothing. It’s also micro transaction laced. You cannot drive the cars you like without paying outside fees. At first you could “grind” but they lowered payout so you can’t realistically earn the cars you bought the game for. I regret this purchase entirely. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Graphics are great and gameplay is good, however, this game requires an always online connection, even for single player mode. In addition, the developer is pushing micro transactions and making it difficult with every update to be able to earn in game credits. The developer is trying to make this a pay to play game on top of the already high $70 price tag.

    Take your money elsewhere. Been a fan since gt 4, but PD went full EA and not only did they inflate the prices of all cars from the latest game (that includes payed dlc cars) they also just dropped an update lowering credit earning coefficient. You got me this time, pd, but I’m done with the series.

    The update just like a joke. We paid for the game, and wait for your update over a day, you just cut half of the award in the game for the update? So you just want us to know that if you can’t afford to buy a real car, you can’t afford the car in the game either? So realistic! The game just want us to pay the real money more and more, right? What a great job

    This Game felt like a 7.5 to 8/10 for me during the first two weeks. Had great fun until the latest updates. Besides its always online requirement the from now on reduced winning prizes and the incredibly arrogant behavior/reaction of the developer studio kinda killed the vibe for me. Too bad I bought the digital version… Would have returned it immediately.

    Devs, downgrade the Game again! Bring back our Rewards instead of focusing on selling credits for real money.

    Otherwise this will end up in a lot of returns and you can become a second cyberpunk 2077.

    You was developing this game for the players and not for the shareholders, or am i wrong?

With no tangible way to make in game credits the game becomes a grind that you my seem up for at first but quickly becomes tedious. As an example gr3&4 cars are a popular category for online races and most players would like to try a lot of the cars out and find the best one for them well there is 43 and some are more than 450k, roughly 17million to acquire all of the gr3 cars, with the 1.008 update and fisherman’s still being the best payout despite it being lowered to 30k (45k with clean bonus) you would have to complete the event 377 times which would take 18 hours of gameplay. By saying this I’m not expecting to play the game for a week and have all of the best cars from what pervious comments have mentioned, but you cannot ignore the lack of credits, cost of cars, and time required. Also, something everyone is forgetting to mention is that only 20 million free credits can be saved if you want more than 20 million the credits will have to be purchased and if cars in the hagerty legendary car dealership are more than 20million that will require real money.

    Lack of cars, pushing players towards mtx and 24 hour maintenance simply not good enough for a £69.99 title. I was really looking forward to jumping straight into races but I can't help but feel somewhat conned and the fact you basically can't play the game in an offline mode in this day and age is unacceptable.

    No voice at all dialogues
    Monotonous GTCafe

    Aside from the update and always-online issues that have plagued the post-launch period, it is a technically brilliant game that is sorely let down by a lack of actual racing.

    There are few driving games out there that are quite as rewarding, with excellent driving physics that really reward progression. While there are lots of short missions and license tests, there's only a handful

    There are few driving games out there that are quite as rewarding, with excellent driving physics that really reward progression.

    While there are lots of short missions and license tests, there's only a handful of Championships and actual races, so you can quickly run out of incentive to keep playing.

    This is made worse by the poor payouts from races, which make the game more grindy than it needs to be. Rather than making you feel like you are working to earn more expensive cars and parts, it instead feels like it is pushing you hard to spend real money on microtransactions.

    Coupled with just a few tracks, this game sorely lacks replayability for a game that costs €80

    Extremely predatory micro transactions and an always online requirement that stops you from playing even the single player mode when you (or the game's servers for that matter) are offline.

    Extremely predatory micro transactions and an always online requirement that stops you from playing even the single player mode when you (or the game's servers for that matter) are offline.

    But how bad are these business practices really? First off, the credit pay out in the game is often rather low and the cars are extremely expensive - up to 12 million credits. Grinding for that amount of credits in game will take many hours of the same boring events on repeat. The recent patch (1.07) only made grinding money in the game harder by lowering pay outs even more. Sony wants you to spend real money on credits. But even here the prices are absurd. A 12 million credit car translates to roughly 120 Dollars - and that's for a SINGLE car. To make matters worse, the game has many FOMO systems that try to push you to spend money quickly. Several of the cars in the game can only be obtained for a limited time, either because the shop's stock rotates or because you got an "invitation" to buy a car that has an expiry date. So you often have only a day to buy that 5 million credits car you want, leaving you with three equally unattractive options:
    1) Spend the entire rest of the day slaving away and trying to grind the money for 9 hours straight only to perhaps not make it in time after all
    2) spend 50 real Dollars to buy the car instantly
    3) wait weeks or months until the car goes on sale again

    This is by far the most predatory microtransaction system I've ever seen in a non-mobile game and Sony should be ashamed.

    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.

    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.
