    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When released, Gran Turismo redefined car racing games, it's team were known for their cutting edge programming and graphics. Games like Forza would not be here if not for GT. To me, if feels like recent entries in the series have become lifeless, regurgitating the same features but with a new coat of paint. There is no vision, ambition or innovation any more. Even the once legendary lighting feels lacklustre, instead of it leaving the completion in it's wake. I can think of many features that would really put this game back on track again. Kazanori once said that he does look at his competitors games but he really should. Has Kaz just got bored of making games or has Japan really fallen so far with game development since the golden ear? Add to that the micro transaction where you can buy real cars cheaper than the in game ones and useless offline play leaving players stranded, unable to play for days at a time. I can't even get my money back but I can promise never to buy another game from this studio, despite being there from the very start.. sad… Expand

    1. I pay a full game price for offline singleplayer experience and still get forced to be online 24/7 for 90%+ of the game contents. I know tracking and data collecting means $$$ but come on! Thats shady and criminal!

    2. Earning money to buy the cars is made artificially harder due to up to -50% lower in-game price money. In-game purchases is what we are bullied into. Micro transactions my ass! This is god damn gran turismo not some scum ebay offering.

    3. We cant sell/trade/share cars as it used to be to get money or just as a present for friends and family. How more unsocial can it get?

    All these marketing tricks and false shady communication to reduce "cheating". Boy does your PR spin doctor maybe suffer from alzheimer? Me and millions of other players and fans of the series are done with this until this is changed.

    - First and foremost the number 1 ridiculous issue which is the online-only requirement even when playing single player. This has to be the most infuriating “feature” in modern gaming and has caused my *physical* single player disc to be unplayable for nearly 2 days and counting now. - No proper “career” mode. I finished the “cafe” missions, which are as close as it gets, in 3 days

    - Aggressively pushes micro transactions everywhere. Haven’t been able to play the latest patch yet but it apparently reduces the paltry race rewards even further so you can spend even more time grinding to buy new cars to play the same races over and over again or spend more money on top of the £60 the game costs in the first place.

    - The “Races” aren’t really that at all, the vast majority are rolling start type events with as much as a 40 second gap between you and the lead vehicle. Standing starts with a relatively evenly matched grid are replaced with dull overtaking challenges for almost *every* event.

    - Disappointing number of bugs and glitches for a game that’s been in development for so long. PS4 version has a lot of frame drops which I can overlook as it’s pretty old hardware now. Overall almost everything that distinguishes it from the previous games makes it worse. There’s a great game und    … Expand

Let me progress myself, purchase used cars fix them up grind for more credits and beat the next race series. If I want to go into the history of the cars provide me with the museum in Brand Central like in GT Sport. 2. The micro transactions are disappointing but isn’t the end of the world. What I hate is the “car roulette”. This is insulting. It is not rewarding and leaves accessing particular tuning options to chance. I bought GT because I enjoy the grind caRPG mechanic, why oh why, did they introduce this outrageous fruit machine to the franchise?
    3. Why are there no grid starts or qualifying? I feel like every race I do I’m chasing down the pack as part of an overtake challenge rather than intense racing at each corner. 4. Used cars are the same for everyone (depending on your GT Cafe progress) and it’s frustrating that it doesn’t update every day. You can’t bring something different/unique to the multiplayer lobbies like you could in GT5. 5. The always online requirement ruins this game 100%. Whenever there is server maintenance you can’t play the SINGLE PLAYER game. You’re stuck with boring mini games such as Music Rally which I hate so much. I want to play the £70 single player game when I want not have to rely on the online servers to be available to authorise me to play my game. And now we have a worst case scenario in play with these systems where the servers have been done for an extended period of time, the game has become unplayable. Why? Single player should not be affected by any online services at all and it raises a big question: what happens when in 5 years time the GT7 servers go EOL? Will that disable all copies of GT7 around the world? I still play my copies of GT2 and GT4 today. I expect to be able to play my copy of GT7 again in 15 years time.

We need to stand up to these companies that are trying to push MTX in 70 dollar games. It is. Always online DRM and micro transactions are an insult to the fans of This series.

    This game was supposed to be a return to form for the franchise but is falling far short of that. The driving is great, everything else is down right bad though. Little to no SP campaign, no endurance races, no B-spec, no cup series, a fraction of the cars as older games. Couple that with always online requirement, pitiful MTs and server outages and it equals a disgusting cash grab.

    2 Day Downtime in a singleplayer game. Adding microtransactions after release. Decreasing race payment so you can spend 120€ of your real, hard earned money to buy a virual car. Mobile F2P economics in a 80€ game. The worst part is the game has potential to be great but greedy suits ruined it again

For a AAA game that sells consoles for Sony its not great, but my biggest issue is the predatory behaviour in pushing MTX towards people. Credits for purchasing cars have been nerfed despite already being the lowest in any GT entry. No one has the time to grind out for 20 million in game credits to buy the dream car they can't actually afford in real life so the solution for Polyphonic/Sony is the offer of 2 million credits for £16 via MTX? People didn't buy/pre order a full price AAA game to be forced to play the game like a second job just to be able to drive the cars they can't afford in real life. I understand grinding sometimes but at the current economy set up engaging players on FOMO with limited digital stock of cars on a timer and potentially being short on in game credits, they are pushing for people to shell out for additional cash. For a game that already cost £70? The bait and switch pulled on MTX has left a bitter taste in many fans mouths as MTX were only implemented on launch day, after all the reviews had already come out. Furthermore there is a half-baked single player campaign that is extremely short and ends very abruptly. The campaign rewards you with cars for chasing down a linear rail of cars driven by a brain dead AI. However the cars that are rewarded can't be sold for in game credits like previous titles so you are stuck with a cluttered garage. Further evidence of predatory practices pushing players towards MTX can be seen in the trophy list as there is a trophy for purchasing the same car 10 times. The roulette system to win big ticket items is heavy skewed towards the lowest winnings and its completely random if you win a 1* to 6* ticket from the daily workout. There are very few new additions to cars in the roster at present and very few races for single player enjoyment. For a single player designed GT game it is currently abysmal, the online focused GT Sport from PS4 has more single player content and is better polished. Seriously disappointed in this numbered entry and surprised that the 'Games as a Service' model has been allowed to operate in such a barebones, blatant cash grab fashion.… Expand

    Rolling starts everywhere you look, micro transactions (I know this is the new norm because people keep paying for it), and online only gameplay. Nothing like buying a game for $70 and then not being able to play it when the server is not running. There are plenty more steller games that are out that you can actually play. The game is pretty...that's about all I am satisfied with.

    2. After reviews land, add microtransactions to the game.
    3. Nerf ability to earn credits.
    4. Don't let your playerbase into the game for over 24 hours and don't communicate with them.
