    This is everything fans do not want in a racing game. Do not make a always online racing game. Do not make it impossible to earn, not buy the cars you want. Do not do a 24 hour maintenance, where no one can ever play your brand new game. This is unacceptable, for $70 premium purchase, I am dissatisfied with Sony, and polyphony, shame.

    Whilst the gameplay may be fun and the graphics may be stunning, unfortunately the game is plagued by microtransactions and their exploitative always-online system.

The game has now been nearly unplayable tor the past 36 hours, because they only allow you to play as long as their servers are live, which they have not been. (Merely a couple of weeks after the release date, impressive)

    Want that lovely vintage Jag? 12 million credits. To put that into perspective, the highest paying race was recently nerfed from 92,500 credits per race to 45,000 credits. If we are to play this track over and over and over to try and obtain this Jaguar, with each race taking approximately 4-5 minutes, you’ll be spending approximately 22 IN-GAME HOURS, DOING THE SAME 5 MINUTE RACE OVER AND OVER, OR UNTIL YOUR BRAIN STARTS LEAKING FROM YOUR NOSTRILS. Or of course, forget those 22 precious hours and spend a mere £96 on 6 x 2 million credit packs costing £16 a piece. Thanks Polyphony!

    Also, what I don’t see being mentioned often is the shocking lack of content. After completing the café, which really at its core makes no sense, you’ve got missions and licenses. All in all this equates to about 20 hours of gameplay and, relative to the cost of the cars, offers very little credits. After you complete these 3 things, the only viable option you have is to play multiplayer, which is littered with idiots who think they’re playing demolition derby instead of participating in an actual race. Found a good lobby at long last? The host will end the lobby after 1 race thanks to the lack of dedicated servers, and apparently the inability to implement (a several decade-old technology) host migration.

    All in all this game has been spoiled by the sheer greed of Sony and/or Polyphony, the disgraceful lack of content and the forceful and exploitative always-online nature of the game (so you don’t, god forbid, find a way to make credits offline)    … Expand

    What is going on with this game? Servers are still down after 24 hours and the game in not playable. $70+ for an online only game is ridiculous. Honestly I don't think the fans would mind this If the company would make frequent official announcements of what's going on. But there hasn't been a single word from them except for a tweet 30 hours ago stating an extended maintenance period.

    In a game where you collect cars I will never be able to afford all of the cars available. You also don't get to drive more than 8 cars on split screen for fun with your mates. You have to wait for invitations to buy certain cars, or wait for them to be one of the 4 'in stock' legendary cars, so even if you pay cold hard cash to buy credits you still can't drive whatever you want.

    Die hard GT fan since drooling over magazine previews of the original PS1 game all those years ago. Reducing credit payouts in an update to obviously force players into micro transactions stinks.

    However, the prices for cars, coupled with low payouts and the inability to sell any unwanted cars, shows that the game was built with microtransactions in mind (no surprise then, that these were also revealed at launch).

    Access to desired features (GT Auto, Brand Central) was curiously sandbagged until much later in the game, which to me, only serves to add to the difficulty of play for the first few hours.

    On top of that, within the span of two weeks, the game has been unable to run properly, with now two significant updates to fix bugs. Moreover, it's presently unplayable even in singleplayer, due to errors with servers and the fact that even singleplayer MUST be online.

    Overall, this had the makings of a great game, but at nearly $90 for the Anniversary Edition and $60.00 for standard, being unplayable/non-functional after only two weeks of being out? Look elsewhere.    … Expand

    Seriously $70 for a game and now I have to grind incessantly or pay money like it's some free phone game? I don't have the time or money. Way to ruin a game. I'd return it if I could. I don't know if it will work but I reported them for bait and switch fraud with the FTC.

There’s no reason to buy this as is over any recent Forza title. Yes this game plays a bit more polished than forza IMO, but the selection of cars is greater in forza, in game currency is much easier to generate, and the car selection is more up to date than a BRAND NEW GRAN TURISMO! If they don’t fix the in game currency, demand a refund. This whole currency system to buy credits only rolled out AFTER reviews were in. Totally dishonest and sketchy from Sony and Polyphony digital.… Expand

    -add a platinum trophy to each license and mission event that is very difficult to complete
    -give more camera options, such as chase cam presets, cockpit view without the wheel etc. the camera's need a lot of work

    A game is meant to be played for fun, it is not meant to be a job or a chore to complete. That is the current state of GT Mode. A chore. The way the game is set up now is called padding, extremely slow progress in order to incentivise paying real world money for credits. This would only be acceptable if the game were free. Grinding itself is not the problem but the amount you have to do and the boring races you have to play to grind. And of course an online only game means that you cannot play a game you have paid for when it goes down for maintenance for 2 days as of writing. This is just the tip of what is wrong with online only games, in 5 or so years this game's servers will go down and it will never be a full experience again, it NEEDS to go. There is a salvageable game somewhere here but Polyphony Digital need to step up and rescue this series. The promise of more cars and tracks is no longer enough this won't fix the fundamental problems this game has currently.    … Expand

    Good points= Realistic Graphics,wet weather handling,the same as previous Gran Turismo's tbh

    Bad points= There was alot of hype about the weather and how great the clouds were, but the elephant in the room is unless you are driving using the in car view you cant see it starting,stopping or actually raining at all. If you use any other view you can hear the rain and notice the track getting getting darker in colour but you cant see any rain failing so if you play with the volume low you suddenly find the car sliding about. If you look to the left bottom side of the screen theres a icon showing how much standing water is on the track. To be fair once theres a lot of water on track you can see puddles. Other games have done the weather effects better on previous gen consoles. For a nex gen ps5 console game it looks like to much time was focused on the cars looking great and everyone forgot to notice that playing using any view but in car that no rain could be seen failing. Apart from the graphics overhaul,sound improvement, tweaked handling, the game seems stuck in a time loop and hasn't moved on. At present the servers are down and because you need a online connection it can't be played properly.
    Not enough cars, more expensive to buy the cars, trying to get you to buy real money in game credits to progress. Cut down amount of one player races. The cars can't be sold like on previous GT etc
    A missed opportunity tbh considering how big a budget, how big the resources are of the developer it could of been so much better.
    Im old enough to be around when GT1 was originally launched and it was ground breaking at the time and over versions and time it improved. ive spent thousands of hours playing all the GT games and i hate to say it but im disappointed considering i bought the ps5 because GT7 only months away from coming out.
    I remember when Driveclub was released and it was down scored because of the sheer demand for the game the servers would crash, but at least the one player game was still playable if you didn't have a internet connection.

This is idiotic and I hope folks reading this are discouraged from buying GT7 after reading the multitude of reviews saying this same thing.

    2.) It's blatantly obvious that they are pushing for a "pay to win" format. The most recent patch material reduced the payout for the few races that were actually paying OK. They appear to be doing everything in their power to push microtransactions on a player base that has already paid $80 for the damn game, as the current format would have you grinding for days/weeks for one expensive car. Some of us actually work for a living and simply do NOT have time for that grind. I guess we're exactly who they're targeting with their mtx push, but I'm not taking part in that mess.

    3.) The game itself has lost its "soul". I don't know how else to describe it, but I've never been less enthusiastic about a GT game, and I've been playing them for over a decade now. Every race is the exact same thing. Start in the back of the pack and weave your way through traffic as you complete your "time trial." The game feels vapid and almost solely focused on PD taking every dime out of your pocket that they can.

    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.
