    AAA $70 game with greedy microtransaction and mandatory online.
    Polyphony Digital has gone the way of Rockstar and EA

    Gegen die ganzen negativen Bewertung kann ich eher vom Gegenteil berichten.
    In Game Käufe habe ich bis jetzt nicht tätigen müssen und habe 51h Spielzeit. Wenn man nicht ständig das Geld was man in rennen aufgibt und vernünftig wirtschaftet hat man eig keine Credit Not. Ist ein guter GT Teil. Online Zwang ist unnötig und dumm. Insgesamt eher gut als schlecht

    Thank you for listening to your fans, Polyphony Digital! Free 1,000,000 credits, increase on payouts across the board, the ability to sell cars once again, and the addition of some endurance races, including a 24 hour race! Huge improvement from the last update!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Con este juego tengo sensaciones encontradas, por una parte me gusta que haya vuelto a sus orígenes con el modo gran turismo pero es incomprensible la manera de avanzar con sus micro transacciones y que para jugar a la campaña tengas que estar conectado a sus servidores y que el día que los cierren si no lo cambian el juego será de adorno y poco más. Espero que en un futuro cambien todo esto y le pueda dar una nota más alta, le pongo un 5 raspado cuando podría ser un juego de 10 sin esos problemas.... Expand

    EDIT:
    The game has improved over time, so I thought I should write a new review that correctly reflects the state of things now. The driving was always amazing in this game and the immersion with PSVR2 is on another level! Absolutely brilliant.
    It has its flaws and like always PD can't seem to fix public lobbies for some strange reason... Also, the game requiring an online connection

    It has its flaws and like always PD can't seem to fix public lobbies for some strange reason... Also, the game requiring an online connection for single-player content is outright outrageous. No FOV slider, or enough seat adjustability if you want to play with cockpit mode on a flat screen.

    Regardless of the above, the driving experience is addictive, and online racing just works!

How are So many important manufacturers absent? How are So many great cars absent? How is simulating the inability to obtain your dream car in real life supposed to be a joyful experience? These dream cars are already unobtainable in my simple working class existence. I used to play games to escape from the mundane and forget that I was a loser in life. Now, thanks to GT7, I get to perpetuate my mundane existence digitally as well. It's so fun buying an economy class grocery getter, and dreaming of one day bolting on enough stupid parts that I can place 5th to Sophy. Speaking of the AI, why does every race force me to start in 20th place? I can't get a qualifying lap? Sophy, so brilliant Sophie, superhuman Sophy, needs me to start 20th......and then somehow cleanly pass her 19 times in the hopes of earning 50% more credits than already were not enough credits to ever afford a Paganni. Nope, all I can afford is maybe a panini. Just like my real loser life. This isn't Gran Turismo....it's the Grand Tragedy. Oh and should I finally grind away long enough to have 12,000,000 credits, I also have to suffer the indignity of the invite. Money isn't even enough, I have to be deemed worthy of an invitation to purchase some of these things. Talk about art imitating life. Then we have the roulette wheel thing. Just like in GT Sport, this stupid thing will award you stuff you already have. That's not a reward. Winning a duplicate SIMULATED item which you can't even sell for credits is simply another way of insulting you. So I received an invitation to buy the Carrera GT I did. Then, same day, I won the stupid car after completing the final championship race. Here's a tip. Fix it so the game will never reward you a car which you've already acquired. Since we can't sell anything, seems logical not to be forced to stable duplicate copies of fake things. I feel like the people making the decisions about how to handle cars and credits are so far removed from where the minds of players are. None of us want to pay more real money for fake cars. It's dumb. Actually it's simply greedy, since obviously nobody at polyphony is dumb. Out of touch yes. Dumb no. Greedy most likely yes. Expand

    For the most part a lovely game with superb driving physics.

    However - rewards and cost of legendary cars is terrible. 18,000,000 for one car demands a player that has no life beyond GT7 or can afford MTX.....actually they're not Micro at all. To buy an 18,000,000 credit car would cost you nearly £150...* Also, on a technical note Polyphony. Sort out the optimisation - the framerate

    Also, on a technical note Polyphony. Sort out the optimisation - the framerate is shocking on some tracks with 20 cars, especially Spa. This is basic LOD stuff - if a car is middle/far distance then drastically reduce its detail. Stable framerate on a racer is an absolute must.

    *UPDATE: The 1.11 update has made rewards fairer and added some excellent races. The 30min Le Mans is great with weather changes and a decent reward. Still going to be a grind to try to afford the gorgeous Alfa 8C 2900B, but more achievable now. PD moving in the right direction. Keep it up please.

    Updated review following patch 1.11:
    While the core gameplay was excellent right out of the gate, Polyphony have now responded to overwhelming user feedback which has led to them tweaking the reward payout per race to a much more reasonable level.

    Updated review following patch 1.11:
    While the core gameplay was excellent right out of the gate, Polyphony have now responded to overwhelming user feedback which has led to them tweaking the reward payout per race to a much more reasonable level.
    Making credits to purchase cars up to the 1mil mark no longer feels like a grind, but instead like a rewarding goal to work towards with not too much gameplay time spent.

    Score is set to 8 for me as I think the multiplayer component could do with more work, a general matchmaking besides the 3 weekly races would add more variety, also the ability to populate multiplayer open lobbies with AI would be a welcome addition.

    Original review - Score 0 before patch 1.11:
    Great gameplay and a fantastic driving model is locked behind a predatory microtransaction based economy, what was a suspicion was verified in patch 1.07 when most race rewards were cut significantly.
    Café missions provide around 2-4 hours of good gameplay, however once these are completed you find yourself with little in the way of single player races, licences and circuit experiences provide some additional gameplay but at a significant difficulty hike which to casual users may prove frustrating.
    Online mode is still limited to 3 daily (weekly) races with the occasional championship and open lobbies, I think much of the community would have appreciated a general matchmaking race system and/or the ability to populate open lobbies with AI to create meaningful online races with a full grid.

    In conclusion (If Gran Turismo was your chosen flavour of racing), for offline play try GT6, for online play try GT Sport, IMO GT7 current does a worse job at both the aforementioned titles.

    the game economy is VASTLY improved. the previous highest reward for one race was Cr. 75,000, now there are lots of races with rewards over Cr. 500,000, and some even over Cr. 1,000,000!

    I've loved this franchise for decades. Very disappointed that a shrink-wrapped full-priced AAA title shipped so incomplete. Anticipated a whole world opening up during/after menus but it's not in the game yet. I'm fine with additional transaction systems for cosmetics, but GT7 is pushing hard to get additional payments for core gameplay, so much that it starts to ruin unpaid mechanics.I've loved this franchise for decades.

    Additionally, for more casual players some super licence and missions will be near impossible to pass, leaving large portions of the game locked.
    Predatory and greedy pricing. Unless you’re are die hard fan, I’d strongly recommend avoiding unless Sony/Polyphony change things up.
    GT Sport is still excellent and VERY inexpensive.

    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.
