    Aight so I've put roughly 60+ hours into the game now. Bought it 2 weeks ago.

    Understand this game was HATED at launch. I got bored of Forza Motorsport 7 (this games main rival) and decided to buy a ps5 and give this a shot. The game was on sale for $40 when I got it.

    Pro's:
    -Looks better than your first born child
    -Audio design has vastly improved from its predecessors
    -Great customization (nearly all cars have wide body kits, splitters, spoilers, aftermarket wheels, etc)
    -Being able to adjust the diff, brake balance, fuel mixture (lean/rich), TCS, on the fly is great
    -Gran Turismo collaborated with car manufactures to create concept cars and they are all stunning
    -Balance of Performance (BoP) racing is great- allows for a diverse grid where anyone can win in any car
    -Menu music is terrific I find myself sitting in the dealership listening to music browsing cars
    -On ps5 load times are non-existent, load any car any track immediately
    -Being able to create private lobbies and posting them on public servers is a great way of having fun community driven events.
    -Love the strategy in endurance racing being able to swap between Racing Softs vs Racing Hards or adjusting to active weather and putting on Rain tires or Intermediates.
    -Weather and Time can be adjusted to any setting you like
    -Diversity in tracks. There are a few rally stages, road courses, street/city circuits, F1 level race tracks, fantasy tracks
    -Physics and Tire models seem very realistic.
    -Diverse selection of vehicles. GT3, GT4, Japanese GT500, Group B, 90's-20's Prototypes, 60's Le Mans racers, and of course many production vehicles ranging from compacts to hypercars
    -Photo mode is on steroids and is damn near impossible to tell the difference between a videogame and real life
    -Used car dealer cycles cars every day making it fun to log in everyday and see whats available.
    -Cars you collect can be sold and their value supposedly shifts everyday and you can "invest" in cars and sell them later for more credits.
    -Doing license tests, mission mode, menu books, and buying cars gives you the opportunities to win prize cars for free or get extra credits.
    -There is an extensive library of user created liveries to browse through and you can apply them to your cars.
    -Doing the "Circuit Experience" on the race tracks allows you to learn every track and drive on it well while also giving you a large amount of credits for beating a certain time.
    -Online racing becomes better through Driver Rating and Safety Rating, encouraging others to be quick while also putting you in races with people around your skill level
    -Online time trials give hefty payouts for performing well

    Cons:
    -The game still sells for 70$ online, and to me thats too much money
    -Menu Books are controversial. For me it wasn't an issue. But, if you aren't a huge car enthusiast or rather you only care about maybe 1-5 cars and you would like to race only those. You will HATE the menu books as they are the entire way of progressing through this game and gaining credits and cars.
    -Online and other modes are locked until you progress far enough in the Menu Books
    -You do not have access to upgrade your car fully until you reach a certain collector level, meaning you will need to grind the menu books to unlock better performance parts.
    -You will have to do license tests which may be frustrating for some who aren't as skilled in order to progress.
    -Later Mission Mode races and the later License Tests have the most sadist requirements for gold medals and I'm pretty damn good at this game but mission mode will humble you if you are trying to go for a 100% completion for the prize cars.
    -Everything is expensive and racing online or in your own custom lobbies gives very little money. The best way to earn money is through time trials and circuit experience, both are time based single player races. Some may rather just play with friends
    -There is no real easy way to share car "builds" and "tunes" meaning if someone builds a car incorrectly they have no real comparison as to what others have done that worked.
    -Online competitive racing cycles races every 15-30 mins meaning you could be sitting around a while before the next race.
    -In user created online lobbies I noticed more lag than in Gran Turismo's official competitive lobbies. Nothing game breaking and not all the time, but it could sometimes hinder the immersion or ruin the race if I collided with them unwillingly.
    -If you buy and apply weight reduction mods or buy and apply certain engine parts it will cost you a fortune to bring the car back to stock. The idea is some performance parts are irreversable and you have to pay to bring them back. Stupid.
    -The handling model on controller, although do-able does not hold up against rivals like forza. The level of grip you feel is disconnected.
    -Splitscreen local multiplayer doesn't let you use your own garage    … Expand

    Now, this is a racing/driving sim, not a crash sim..., The driving/racing experience is really good, much better if you have a sim racing wheel, in my case i used the Logitech one, not the best one, but did the work.

    Now the only flaw this game has, is the microtransactions, thats a no for me, on this type of game microtransactions shouldn't be allowed, really pathetic that GT7 has them.

    Another flaw GT7 has, is the only 1 type of multiplayer gamemode it has, you can race with other players online but, somewhere about 20 races you can get bored, it's always the same, i think it has potential for more online game modes.

    Other than all that, the game feels great, it is really a true driving simulator, hope the next game releases better than this one.    … Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (9)Superb. Just shy of gaming nirvana, this score is a high recommendation because the game reviewed is head-and shoulders above its competition

    Bad Business Practices
    (-1) Game Economy makes it impossible for a player to unlock all the content of the single player aspect of the game without paying into the microtransactions.
    (-1) Online Only makes it impossible for people without an internet connection to even play the single player part of the game.

    I’m giving this a nine due to its Sports Mode, and Café mode.

    Sports Mode is Gran Turismo’s ranked multiplayer mode. Each week they release 3 new races, and one time travel to compete against everyone in the world. In sports mode you’ll be given a driver’s rating and a sportsmanship ranking to help put people in lobbies of likeminded/skilled racers as you. At first you’ll be constantly changing as the game learns more about you but will eventually stabilize within a month. Two of the three races are based on a certain group of cars that usually cost around 350-450k while the other is based on a specific car which people can change the set-up on. You can always rent a car at no cost to you if you don’t have a car the meets the requirement. My only complaint about Sports mode is that the payout is very small which forces you to make money through Single Player to be able to afford cars in a reasonable amount of time.

    Café Mode is the campaign mode of Gran Turismo. It dives into the history of auto-racing, car types, and car manufactures which is very unique when compared to other racing games. It’s an innovating idea which has the player race/collect certain cars and then they give a 2-5min history lesson. There are a few issues with the Single Player which is that the AI is too easy to beat even on the hardest difficulty and you don’t have the option to qualify.    … Expand

    Физика в GT7 сделала заметный скачек, это круто(если в двух словах после GT7, GTS кажется аркадой для меня).
    Графон кто бы что не говорил стал лучше и это замечаешь, когда долго играешь в GT7 потом включаешь GTS и видишь реально разницу: освещение, тени, разрешение выше, детализацию трека подтянули, про смену времени суток и динамическую погоду я вообще молчу.

    Графон кто бы что не говорил стал лучше и это замечаешь, когда долго играешь в GT7 потом включаешь GTS и видишь реально разницу: освещение, тени, разрешение выше, детализацию трека подтянули, про смену времени суток и динамическую погоду я вообще молчу.
    Что ешё меня порадовало, дак это прокачали звуки, они стали более натуральнее, звуки переключения передач, прострелы из выхлопной трубы.
    Так же порадовали функции "Dualsense", очень круто сделано, вибрация будто ощущаешь все 4 колеса, то есть ты заранее знаешь если тебя вот вот занесёт например. Адаптивные триггеры тоже делают своё дело, сопротивление при торможение и при нажатие газа очень информативны.
    ИИ подтянули, по началу конечно легко, но дальше бывают гонки где приходиться попотеть, главное, что они щас хотя бы могут ехать быстро, а то в GTS вообще очень овощные были(кстати софи - (продвинутый искусственный интеллект) - ещё не добавили, вот когда добавят, будет хардкор).
    Порадовали порой хардкорные тесты в лицензиях и специальных испытаниях, знакомства с трассой вообще стали очень сложные.
    По поводу онлайна, порадовало, что появились гонки не полностью блокирующие все настройки и тех. характеристики машины, а ограничивающие например только максимальную мощность и минимальный вес авто, а дальше делай, что хочешь, настраивай подвеску, кпп, тормоза, аэродинамику.
    А так же бывают гонки по рейтингу производительности, то есть по мимо соотношения мощности и веса, так же на тех. рейтинг влияет какая подвеска стоит, и как она настроена, как настроена кпп, аэродинамика , а так же какие шины стоят.
    Вот теперь о минусах, это очень скудная карьера, такая короткая, блин даже гонок на выносливости нету, которые были даже в GTS, хоть и были там короткие относительно тех, что были в GT4 и GT5 например. Мне вообще по ощущениями показалось что карьера короче чем в GTS. То есть в ней банально даже меньше разнообразия в категориях машин, вам не дадут в ней по участвовать в таких Классах как Gr.1,Gr.2, на каких нить формульных болидах с открытыми колесами.
    А теперь главная проблема игры. Это конечно же явное навязывание доната, можно и без него играть получать удовольствие, так как за карьеру вы прилично выиграйте авто и почти не понадобиться покупать авто для определенных гонок. А после обновления и без того малые призовые уменьшили в два раза, да конечно где то подняли, но в основном, теперь фармить на мега дорогие легендарные машины в два раз дольше.    … Expand

    The game is based on predatory microtransactions, to the point where the game is intentionally creating roadblocks to funnel you towards microtransactions. In a "free to play" game, okay, but not a game you pay 60+ dollars for. The level of funneling as absolutely insulting.

    Races do not have a real payout, for doing a long endurance race you get barely anything. The credit payout across the board is extremely and intentionally gimped. This mixed with limits on what cars you can actually purchase, and time limits on those create a situation where they are trying to get people to crack out the credit card and just funnel more cash.

    All of this, mixed with the fact this is ONLINE ONLY. YOU CANNOT PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT INTERNET OR SERVER CONNECTION. This review comes in during the 24+ hour server outage caused by a bad update on PD's side. The game has been out for 2 weeks and people cannot play it. This is going to cause major issues in the future, and effect the lifetime of this game.

    I tried to like it, but there's just so much wrong with this game. You need to be online to play single-player (so with the maintenance update debacle today, I couldn't play the game at all). Practically all of the single-player races are rolling start, with the lead car sometimes given a 45-second lead. The roulette mechanic is lame. Earning credits was already too slow, and with the 1.07 patch, is now about twice as slow as 1.06. Microtransactions in a game I just spent $90 CAD. Bugs with licence tests. Dumb AI. A generally unintuitive UI that requires too many button presses. A tuning shop that isn't organized by part type. The single-player "menu book" experience is too short.

    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. Talking of Driveclub id say the weather effects are still better the GT7 at present.    … Expand

    Could have been so good but the game is pretty much useless without internet connection (at time of writing) And even if you are willing to spend real money on your full prize game the prizes for that are ridiculous.(at the time of writing). Gameplay is great and so are the graphics. In spit of all of this, I keep playing it daily as it is at the end of the day a great game.

    It was and still is a great racing game. Stunning cars but somewhat sloppy on the rest. For instance when it get dark it's like someone hits a lightswitch. Some challenges within the same difficulty are really simple and some impossible (or almost). It is a shame that they haven't put more effort in actually teaching people how to race.

    Online only for offline play and the decreases Cr rewards are a no-no for trying to push the MTX. Hope Sony and PD fixes this in a short time.
    Edit after patch 1.09: Very good to see the speedy changes, will update the review again after the announced patches.

    While the foundation of the game deserves a far higher review. The games broken economy, and pay to win scheme through micro transactions along with very little content that isn’t locked behind a paywall…….destroy any value this game could have. Until those issues are rectified, I strongly discourage others from purchasing a broken game.

    Update 1.11 has fixed MOST of economy issues in game by increasing by 100% in most events. The economy of GT7 was easily the biggest problem at release. I’ve given it a 7, because there is still work to be done and will update my score as the fixes come in.

    Some things I’d like to see are the ability to change settings after setting up an online lobby, higher payouts for online lobbies,    Update 1.11 has fixed MOST of economy issues in game by increasing by 100% in most events.

    Some things I’d like to see are the ability to change settings after setting up an online lobby, higher payouts for online lobbies, modes for online lobbies.. it would be cool to have a drag mode, drift mode, roulette fixed for better chances to get good rewards, and finally, new cars and tracks.    … Expand

    Un très bon jeu, qui avec ses mises a jour se bonifie, même si je ne digère pas le fait qu'il faut être obligatoirement connecté pour pouvoir y jouer.

    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.
