    Where to start? Nerfed rewards system designed to push towards micro transactions on a game which costs £70 is disgraceful.

    Roulette system designed to push towards mtx.

    Car upgrades hidden behind random chance roulette spins.

    Online only in a single player game? Make it make sense - not to mention the servers being down with absolutely 0 communication from PD or GT. The contempt for the fan base is beyond offensive.

    Why can’t we sell cars? It was a core mechanic of previous games - again pushing us towards mtx.

    Why is the campaign so sparse? It feels like GT4 and 5 had more content. The cafe feature is a glorified tutorial and the lack of traditional campaign absolute sucks, cafe feels so linear and boring/sanitised. No endurance races and b-spec as well. An honesty pathetic attempt at a Gran turismo game, feels like a rehash of sport designed as a ‘proper’ Gran Turismo.

    I’ve probably missed some stuff that others have mentioned but this game stinks and has alienated a massive, dedicated fan base who were absolutely buzzing for the next proper GT instalment.

    Enjoyable once it works . The always being online would not have been a issue if the servers would keep being online. Also i understand like sport you could buy cars with cash but micro ( or not so micro ) transactions to even be remotely capable of getting all cars is just messed up. The once that love your game you screw over by turning the credits down instead of keeping it the same.

    It can't be real, that in the year 2022 there is still developers charging a premium price for their product and lock the main gameplay progression behind a F2P es-que credit system.
    Either make the game free to play or change the credit payouts, so you don't have to play multiple hours for just one of the over 400 cars available.

    The first time I started the game, everything was there in the right place: memories of the old GT, fun, effort, all with technical improvements and fantastic graphics.
    Day after day things were starting to get worse, there was no way to play offline, split screen with a few preselected cars, 2nd driver in split screen couldn't reach the same speed as 1st driver with the same car.
    Dream cars have unreachable prices, but they were fine because I don't care to collect them all in the first 2 weeks, but now you have managed to let it be more difficult than ever with this latest update, forcing us to pay to win.
    I understand that the "real driving simulator" must simulate the fact that only the rich can afford to race in real cars, but we have bought your games so far to have the chance to dream even without money in our pocket, now you have ruined it , thanks Polyphony Digital.

When I saw they were rebalancing the race payouts, I thought, “Great they are listening to their fans”. Except, they were not. They have reduced payouts, making some cars take literal days of grinding literally one or two tracks with almost acceptable payouts. Its just greed to push towards microtransactions, as are many of the other design choices. Invites to buy cars, used and legendary cars rotate in real life days rather than in game days as it used to be. Oh and as of writing this review, their update to nerf payouts (which once again, were already too low) has broken the game and put it offline for 24 hours, because of unnecessary always online for a primarily single player game. Honestly, if they just increased custom race payouts 10-20x I would be happy (yes, they currently pay that bad…) Expand

Indeed, they have largely reduced the credits earned per race and it becomes ridiculously long and time-consuming, needless to say also ultra boring to earn new credits to buy new cars. Other modes than the solo mode are not rewarding at all, and the utmost shame is that a lot of cars are very expensive, some of them costing the equivalent of +30h of farming in terrible conditions. There are +400 cars in the game, and what we want as players is to be able to earn new cars at a regular pace to enjoy them, and not to have to wait 5 years before buying thisbeloved and long-desired 12m Jaguar.

    Polyphony created at the last minute before the release of the game extremely unaffordable MTs in prevision of such moves, and as of now you may spend 120e of real money just to buy ONE car if you cannot farm. This is absolutely unacceptable because we do not want to pay 1000 euros a full game, but not to be deceived by a game maker that already sells its game 80e. The endless maintenance today also proves that the compulsory online servers to play the solo was a bad idea and destroys the gaming experience for which we had very high expectations, considering the prestige of the games, and their past mistakes.

    It seems that Kazunogain and his teams don't learn ! The game is failing on some parts but stays a pretty good game who deserve a grade between 7 and 9, it is too bad to waste such an experience with bad decisions and treacherous MTs.

    If the policy regarding the reduction of credits flips back, I will reconsider my grade and will eventually regrade the game by a 7+.

    We'll be a lot to do that, so please hear us ! It's a massive and collective complaint (just check Reddit, Twitter, GTPlanet).

    I hope we'll be heard. Sincerely from France,

Update 1.06 give us a lot of problem, impossibile to do some mission or licence because they put wrong tires on it and we remain a whole week with this problem. Update 1.07 is the worst update i ever see in my life. Updating a game for me mean to make the game better. But they decide to do the opposite. You cannot play the game anymore because the servers are down for maintenance from yesterday morning and you know that when the game will be playable, you will not have the opportunity to earn a decent amount of credits to purchase the cars you love unless you can play all day 10 hours.

    - you have to unlock everything (also multiplayer)
    - you earn only a low amount of credits while most cars costs a **** of money
    - the ticket roulette is basically a piss take. You get shown some cool stuff like cars and parts. But almost all the time you only get cash, and then only the lowest possible amount (5000 credits)
    - game tries to force you to buy credits with real money with tactics like FOMO (some tickets will grant you the ability to buy a very expensive car for a short amount of time)

    And also, GT7 looks like it's a 95% copy/clone of GT Sport.

    It almost seems like Poliphony and Sony are trying to steal money from their loyal fanbase and try to milk their cows until they are empty.

    With all the flaws and misconceptions currently in the game, I give a 3 of 10.

    De plus, on apprend qu'au fur et a mesure des mises a jour, les gains sont revu à la baisse, tout ça pour pousser le jouer a payer avec le l'argent réel les crédits du jeu si il veux les voitures les plus cher sans devoir passer sa vie sur le jeu, nois ne sommes pas tous des chômeurs, et il a été prouvé que les gains sur ce gt7 sont de base largement inférieur aux anciens GT, mais ils continuent a aller à la baisse...

    Je m'engage a modifié ma note si ce système est revue à la hausse et qu'ils se calment avec cette pratique honteuse digne d'un jeu free2play, GT m'a coûté 70€ je ne veux pas rapasser a la caisse ni passer ma vie sur le jeu.

    As a young lad I loved Gran Turismo 4. First time playing one of the games since.

    Had a couple of days playing prior to the patch and extended down time.. 24+ hours currently. Graphics great, physics great. However, massively disappointed at the ‘freemium’ tactics used on a £60 game. Provided with tokens which are a kind of roulette wheel. These are clearly heavily weighted to dish out

Given short time gated invitations to buy the most desirable cars, which are only viably affordable by buying more credits with real money too ups…

    Baffling that the solo player game is not accessible without connection to the servers.

    Also not enjoyable the way all races I have encountered so far are laid out. Rolling starts where the person in 1st is best part of half a lap in front and you have to overtake the procession of other vehicles, no qualifying or standing starts on a grid. A bit of an unashamed attempt to wring as much money as possible out of fans of the franchise.

Significantly less content than previous games, poor AI, and stupid rigged roulette games to earn rare items which guarantees the lowest payout every time.

Ce n'est pas l'ajout de quelques effets sur la dualsens et un léger upscale qui pour moi justifie une "version" PS5. Cela ne rempli pas la charte certes morale d'un jeu PS5.

    De plus on nous promet un retour aux sources qui n'existe pas véritablement avec au final très peu de course et championnat, aucune endurance. La plupart des anciens circuits sont absents, personnellement j'adorais les villes totalement absentes du jeu à l'heure actuelle. Alors ok on nous fait miroiter des mises à jour mais moi j'ai déjà payé le jeu au prix fort. Comme retour aux sources je m'attendais à un fleuve et j'ai eu un ruisseau.

    Maintenant les micro transaction qui sont la base du jeu qui clairement est construit pour être frustrant et inciter à sortie la carte bleu j'aurais préféré le savoir avant de précommander, masquer les choses jusqu'à la dernière minute c'est moche. Malheureusement on commence à connaitre les nouvelles méthodes de Sony. Pourquoi ne peut on pas revendre les véhicules gagner, pourquoi des gains sont aussi faible comparé aux précédents GT. Gtsport était un beta test du nouveau système vénal de Polyphony digital orchestré par Sony certainement et ils l'ont appliqué au centuple dans GT7.

    On nous promet plus de 420 véhicules dans le jeu mais combien sont ils présents réellement dans le jeu à l'achat? Impossible d'acheter les véhicules de la liste avant plusieurs semaines / mois tant que Polyphony n'aura pas décidé de les faire apparaitre brièvement dans le marché occasion. Un conseil, connectez vous tous les jours pour ne pas rater le coche. Seule une poignée de véhicule est disponible actuellement. Pourquoi afficher autant de véhicule dans la promotion d'un jeu lorsque même plein aux as ils nous est impossible de les acheter?

    Je ne parle même pas des véhicules légendaire dont les tarifs prohibitifs sont conçus pour sortir la CB. 20€ bien réel pour 2 000 000 cr en jeu soit 120€ pour un véhicule à 12 000 000 de cr
    C'est véhicules vont bientôt arriver en masse dans le jeu et il ne vous restera qu'a jouer pendant plusieurs années pour vous en offrir 1 alors choisissez bien ou alors sortez votre CB. Idem pour les véhicules moins couteux ou il faut attendre une invitation "arbitraire?" et temporaire pour pouvoir acheter le véhicule.

    Il reste aussi la solution insipide de farmer un circuit inlassablement pour espérer obtenir une petite partie du contenu du jeu qui vous est promis par le marketing mais pour cela il faudrait encore que Polyphony ne réduise pas les gains par deux comme cela vient d'arriver après une semaine de sortie de jeu. Ah oui les règles peuvent changer après votre achat du jeu.

    On en parle du solo accessible uniquement si vous avez une connexion internet? Cela fait 24h que le jeu est tout bonnement indisponible pour l'ensemble des joueurs car les serveurs du jeu sont KO. Quelle qu'en soit la raison, on achète un jeu ou l'on peut jouer si les serveurs de polyphony sont en ligne et si notre opérateur internet n'est pas susceptible.

    Alors oui je suis un fan de la licence de la première heure mais aigri/frustré par la transformation de ma licence fétiche en machine à cash au mépris de sa communauté sans qui Polyphony ne serait rien.

Indeed, they have largely reduced the credits earned per race and it becomes ridiculously long and time-consuming, needless to say also ultra boring to earn new credits to buy new cars. Other modes than the solo mode are not rewarding at all, and the utmost shame is that a lot of cars are very expensive, some of them costing the equivalent of +30h of farming in terrible conditions. There are +400 cars in the game, and what we want as players is to be able to earn new cars at a regular pace to enjoy them, and not to have to wait 5 years before buying thisbeloved and long-desired 12m Jaguar.

    Polyphony created at the last minute before the release of the game extremely unaffordable MTs in prevision of such moves, and as of now you may spend 120e of real money just to buy ONE car if you cannot farm. This is absolutely unacceptable because we do not want to pay 1000 euros a full game, but not to be deceived by a game maker that already sells its game 80e. The endless maintenance today also proves that the compulsory online servers to play the solo was a bad idea and destroys the gaming experience for which we had very high expectations, considering the prestige of the games, and their past mistakes.

    It seems that Kazunogain and his teams don't learn ! The game is failing on some parts but stays a pretty good game who deserve a grade between 7 and 9, it is too bad to waste such an experience with bad decisions and treacherous MTs.

    If the policy regarding the reduction of credits flips back, I will reconsider my grade and will eventually regrade the game by a 7+.

    We'll be a lot to do that, so please hear us ! It's a massive and collective complaint (just check Reddit, Twitter, GTPlanet).

    I hope we'll be heard. Sincerely from France,

I will not participate in that, and I am glad I bought a physical copy and will attempt to return it, if not, then sell it. The physics for the cars also come off as unrealistic when compared to previous games. For example, in one of the races some of the AI cars drifted more than they should for the given speed at a particular corner. This is obviously made to appease to the younger drifter/street take over crowd, and is not what prior Gran Turimos were based on.

    This new iteration now means hours of endless grinding (20 hours) to buy a top end car. I can’t do 20 hrs of the same track without losing my mind just to buy one car that you can’t sell if you don’t like.

    The game is £70, for that you expect to be able to achieve what you want and build a car collection. Not enough races or campaigns (just an introduction set of challenges). Small payouts and loot box style system for key upgrades. This was the reason I never bought battle front 2, 2 years of constant daily graft to unlock a game that you already paid for.

    How fun would that be? Of course if you dont want to do that you can just pay us another $200 and you can use it right away! That’s shady af? But we don’t MAKE you pay us, you could happily use your new product to brew 5000 coffees and then unlock it! Oh and by the way, whilst you’re enjoying that ‘grind’ of coffee, make sure you’re always online. Actually, try and make sure we are online too because whilst there is no benefit to you as our end user to always being online, we have decided that you must always be connected to our servers to use your product. And if we nuke the product that you bought by releasing a poor update, you won’t be able to use it at all. But we appreciate your patience whilst we sort it out. By which I mean it is now 10000 coffees that you must brew to unlock your frother. Or there’s, you know, that other way of unlocking it, which we are totally not forcing you to do, just go do the same thing 10000 times. Oh I nearly forgot, I should have mentioned, that frother is only available for a limited time. We can’t say how long. And once it’s gone, who knows when it will be back? Not you, maybe us, but not you. So you should probably do whatever you can to get it now before it’s gone and we might replace it with something less desirable, like a bag to store coffee beans. But it could also be something which brews the best coffee ever and if you bought the frother, maybe you won’t be able to get the new thing?

    No need to worry about that! I’m not sure if this came up yet, but you can pay us $500 to skip the hours and hours of repetitiveness. As long as we are online. Enjoy!

    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.
