Imagine a greedy free to play game where EVERYTHING costs a lot of real money and in-game rewards are insultingly low. Now imagine that it's not free to play either, it costs 80$ to play the game in the first place, and THEN you have all the in-game microtransactions I mentioned before. At least free to play games have the decency to be, you know, free, and be greedy after that.
    Now imagine if to play this game (that you have to pay) that has a ridicolous amount of in-game transactions (that make it borderline unplayable without paying on top of that), you also have to pay an online subscription. And since it's an always online game, when that online subscription service should one day ever end or even just go in maintainance (which already happened), you can't even play anymore (permanently in the case of shutting down, and for a while in the case of maintainance). Because yes, on top of everything I said earlier, this is ALSO an always online game so the moment it will eventually be shut down, your 80$ disc becomes a frisbee. If you have the digital edition you don't have even that though lmao. It's fine when the online functionality of all games is shut down (sad, but still, fine, and understandable), but if your game is an offline game with multiplayer content, you can just enjoy everything single player in it. Always online games, instead, just die when the developer decides to do so. The game is not yours, you're basically paying rent to play it. In 20 years of videogames I've seen all kinds of greedy **** but this is the worst I had the misfortune to ever witness. Just play some free 2 play racing game on the android store instead of this, chances are that will be less greedy.

To be fair, it is visually stunning, and I really enjoy using my controller as a steering wheel. But that is where the joy ends. I despise the "chase the rabbit" format of every "race". In fact, all one is really doing is one's best as a hot lap while navigating through meaningless automotive obstructions that are essentially trains on rails, disguised as cars, that will continuously spin you out, ignore the blue flag, and miraculously get faster as one approaches 1st place. I believe enough has been said about the micro-transactions, but I do have one observation: If this company "wanted cars to reflect their real world value", why the f*** can one not sell cars they don't want to get the ones they do? Would that not be reflective of "the real world" as well? Such shameless profiteering has been the downfall of many franchises in all aspects of business and art, and it pains me that a title I have enjoyed for half of my life has been corrupted by this kind of unethical capitalism. It seems that motives are so driven by quarterly profits, that they can't see the long term money they could garner from providing a game that was just damn good, and not driven by micro-transactions, but by the words and recommendations of a rabidly passionate and longstanding fan base that has eagerly awaited its release. But what do I know? I'm just a consumer... Expand

    The most disgusting thing was the bait-and-switch, post-review re-balance of the in-game economy. We've seen this before, right? Went down really well there too...
    S&P, if you think people don't notice this, you are sorely mistaken. They do, and they HATE it because not only is it a horrible way to treat long-time customers, it's also deceptive. Shame.

    If you care about your fans and want to do right by them (GT fans have to be the most patient in the industry, let's be honest) you will remove this anti-consumer **** from your game.

    Honestly Sony, with the streak you have been on over the last decade, this is shocking and disappointing to say the least...

    So, the day you (Polyphony) apologise and act to course-correct this new direction by removing exploitative mechanics from this game is the day I make a purchase. Frankly, Sony needs to make a clear statement of regret also.

    I know you read these reviews S&P, so with feedback this overwhelming, if you fail to act I will permanently boycott your future products. I encourage others reading to do so too, as its about all we as consumers can do to be heard.
    Maybe one day you will learn that the means to maximise profits in this way is wrong. As such, at this point in time, you don't deserve any money.

    Tweaking rewards doubles the amount of time players need to play. And this is a single-player game that has already been purchased. This change is to force players to spend more money to purchase in-game currency.

    different races.

    GT7 Prologue.

    This entire game is a scam. It should be free to play. It’s a rehash of GT Sport with more micro transactions and less content. The car list is from 2018. There’s a post on Reddit asking people to change their review scores on here. Really? They cut they payouts in half and now they are restoring them to what they originally were and we should thank them for it?

Some cars are over $200 in real world money. The graphics are good, but the physics aren’t, especially on the dirt tracks. This game is currently at prerelease status. What’s the point of the license tests if there aren’t races for the upper tier licenses?

    I bet they will make this a “full game” after $200-$300 in dlc. Don’t buy it. Or at least wait a while for the ultimate version when it has as much content as the old versions of the game. Then buy it used. Also, don’t buy it if they require online access to play single player. That’s just a way for them to pull the plug on the game after they decide they want you to buy a new copy.

    I’ve lost all respect for polyphony. I first played gran Turismo on the ps1 and ps2. What a disappointment.

    I specifically made an account to leave a review for GT7. I was excited for this game, watched multiple reviews, didn't even pre-order because I don't like to jump on a hype train. Avoided big publishers for information about the game, etc. etc. Even wasted my money on the 25th Anniversary edition because I don't have a PS5 yet, but I'll get one eventually.

    I'm leaving this review even after the "Ooopsy! 1 million Credit Apology" of the 1.09 patch and the response from Polyphony regarding the review bombs. So, why am I still leaving my own 0? A few reasons.

    It's still a 'Live Service' game shoved into my single player experience. I don't appreciate the verbiage of the 'apology' from Polyphony saying that our response had anything to do with 'confusion'. There was nothing confusing about what they did. It was obvious that they were/are pushing for a MTX economy and went too far (for the time being, I have my thoughts on that). The updates that actually need to happen didn't ship with the game to begin with. As people have pointed out, it was implied in the advertising before the game came out that you could sell your vehicles. The FFB for wheel users is trash, I believe that's because it was tuned for the DualSense controller. That's fine, but don't partner with Fanatec to make a $900 GT specific Direct Drive wheel package and the screw over wheel users/sim racers. The snap oversteer is terrible and it's inconsistent across vehicles; you never really know when you're going to need assists which gets tricky across hundreds of vehicles. Also, a lot of money was spent touting Sophy as a super sophisticated AI to race against but mostly my experience is that the AI is on rails and they will run me off the track instead of practicing or learning any form of race craft. It feels exactly like Dirt Rally 2.0 Rally X AI, if I'm completely honest.

    About my MTX thoughts. You know what I think 1.07/1.08 really was? It was an experiment, they intentionally made the economy terrible to see what they could get away with, and very clearly they couldn't get away with it being this bad... yet. It's the switcharoo effect that 'Live Service' games have been pulling since this has become the trend - make something utterly terrible, that way when it becomes slightly less terrible (but still actually terrible) it looks great in comparison to what it was. But remember when games actually had to be finished before they came out, instead of day one patches? Remember when your full priced $60 (now $70 or more) game didn't have F2P mechanics shoved into them? Remember when loot boxes weren't a thing? Or using FOMO mechanics to hook susceptible people into spending more money in their full priced game wasn't a thing? That's the stuff that disappoints me. That's the stuff that earns the 0.

    Oh, and all the fanboys white knighting for a giant corporation? Please stop, if we don't complain, we don't get this stuff fixed. "Oh it's supposed to be a grind." That's nice, I have a full time job and a life. Maybe 1 hour a day for games, the grind is designed in to push for MTXs and it's been shown this is the worst economy of any GT game. What, you want to feel some "Pride and accomplishment" down in your mom's basement or something? How about now - all these other folks that opened their mouths got you the ability to sell cars, and are getting race payouts fixed, fixing the low payouts for online racing so it feels like less of a waste to spend time on races that are generally more fun (since the AI is trash). Don't defend Sony and PD, they don't need it.

    However, I'm not going to believe anything has been fixed until a long time after April.

If this game could scrub its always-online garbage, the push for micro-transactions in the game design, and the tire's breakaway physics, as well as add in more single-player content, it'd be great. At the moment, it's just a frustrating shell of the wonders that came before it. If you don't care about up to date cars, play GT4 or GT5. GT5 lets you create your own tracks! Expand

    NOTE: SCORE WILL BE LOW UNTIL ISSUES ARE FIXED (MTXs strippped/more base game content/removal of always-online DRM of a SINGLEPLAYER GAME)

    Pros: - Gameplay/driving feels very smooth and realistic - Weather system is very solid and impressive (glad it is back) - Livery system still just as solid as it was in GT Sport - Some more customization and car tuning from prev. titles return

    - Weather system is very solid and impressive (glad it is back)
    - Livery system still just as solid as it was in GT Sport
    - Some more customization and car tuning from prev. titles return
    - Missions are back
    - Both Missions and License Tests are challenging with a few outliers that are very hard to hit gold compared to other tests

    Cons:
    - Always-Online DRM leaves the game in a shallow demo with only 11 cars available
    - Wallet limit is 20mil credits UNLESS you buy more credits through MTXs
    - RNG Roulette Tickets that always give worst rewards 99% of the time
    - Car prices are very inflated to mimic "collector culture" (you know it is for making people pay for in-game currency)
    - Prize payouts are stingy (AND WORSE after latest patch)
    - MTXs have worsened (GT Sport allowed you to buy a single car for a few bucks; GT7 makes that same car cost about $30 worth in Credits MTX purchases)
    - FOMO invitations to buy cars not in dealerships AND cost almost max currency wallet amount (you usually miss out on these cars due to time limit to raise that absurd amount of Credits needed to buy it)
    - Feels unfinished (low amount of non-Mission events to participate in, making it near impossible to use your cars outside of setting up your own custom races)

    I enjoyed this game the first few days I played it, but this game is a catastrophe. You'd expect better from a game series that is CELEBRATING its 25th anniversary. Now, this game throws away that 25 years worth of trust out the window with a single release. Until they fix all the problems (mainly the MTXs, online DRM, and lack of standard single-player content), I CANNOT recommend this game in good faith.

    You are better off playing GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5, or GT Sport. Those games at least have a lot of content that rewards your time and effort. GT7 belongs in the trash until further notice.

The multiplayer lobbys have numerous problems and the sport mode continually freezes at the results screen so no credits are awarded and your driver rating falls even if you win the race cleanly. The livery editior is also broken, with designs going missing and errors when attempting to install designs on cars. I understand the game will eventually be patched to resolve these issues but this is the 25th anniversery edition of the game and after 25 years, these things should have been resolved a long time ago, the game was even delayed several times prior to release and its still a train wreck. GT Sport has a very good multi player mode (despite the penalty system) with several years of data to use for GT7 but it is absolutely ridiculous how bad GT7 multi player is. Coupled with reduced payouts for races, overpriced cars and upgrades and the high cost of microtransactions, this is the most dissapointing edition of Gran Turismo. I seriously wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Expand

    GT7 really did seem like a return to form (see GT4) when I first loaded it up. After the massive outage, I find the game doesn't work offline and after that, it's diseased with microtransactions. 150 bucks wasn't enough?

    In short, I'm just not interested in getting to know it any better. Because of the online tether, It's not going to be a game I can come back to years later, like GT2

    Negatives;

    - Must be online (so many instances where i get gold and then suddenly lose connection to servers - have to redo the race)
    - In game economy is absolutely F@CKED
    - This game costs around $90AUD to $154 for collectors edition
    - Some races pay less than parts for vehicles
    - Should've been a free-to-play game if MTX was to be implemented

    Recently Kaz came out with an update to address the issues;

    In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions. - REALLY???
    At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with the real world prices. -- IN REAL LIFE 95% OF THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY THIS GAME CANT AFFORD THESE CARS IN REAL LIFE, JUST OWN UP AND ADMIT YOU WERE GREEDY
    I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again. - REALLY...OR MAKE MORE $$$ WITH MTX - THIS WAS YOUR F@CKING GAME...LET ME REPHRASE, YOU WOULD LIKE US TO AVOID REPLAYING/GRINDING AND USE OUR CREDIT CARDS....

    Increase rewards in the events in the latter half of the World Circuits by approximately 100% on average - Will see how this plays out
    Addition of high rewards for clearing the Circuit Experience in all Gold/All Bronze results - YEAH RIGHT
    Increase of rewards in Online Races - YEAH RIGHT
    Include a total of eight new one-hour Endurance Race events to Missions. These will also have higher reward settings - YEAH RIGHT
    Increase the upper limit of non-paid credits in player wallets from 20M Cr. to 100M Cr. - WTFF????
    Increase the quantity of Used and Legend cars on offer at any given time - So players are forced to use their cards to purchase vehicles if the cars are available for a limited time?

    A big let down by SONY....following in the footsteps of EA and TakeTWO (Rockstar).

    it wouldn't take a genius to workout that Polyphony Digital have taken their fans for a ride, they betrayed the trust millions of people.

    Here's a tip....want to make it more ' real life',

    How about introducing a test drive mode...or an offline mode where people can test drive all cars- without linked to career mode???

    And not to mentioned the **** apology letter is f@cking bullsh*t!!! IT IS AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF GAMERS, LONG TIME GT FANS AND CAR CULTURE.

    É um absurdo o que as empresas fazem nos dias de hoje, já pagamos um absurdo no jogo para quando abrirmos o jogo nos depararmos com um monte de micro transações. NÃO GASTEM SEU DINHEIRO

    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.
