But the required internet connection to even play the single player and split screen is such a toxic move from PD. The small amounts of credit rewards coupled with the very expensive cars makes it the most grindy GT ever. It’s very apparent that they want to nudge you towards micro transactions. I get free 2 play vibes from the economy in this game( You can’t even sell cars). Only difference is that you have to pay full price first. Then we have the lack of communication during these server maintenance windows that never seem to end. The ongoing maintenance while writing this review was supposed to last 6 hours. Instead it’s been 24 hours and not a peep from Polyphony. The game went from a solid 8.5-9 to a 0 for me. I can’t play this disgusting piece of sh*t. And that’s not just because it’s impossible to even start during the maintenance. But also because the complete and utter disrespect to the fan base. Congratulations Polyphony Digital. You’ve joined some of the other great fallen studios of this decade. I feel sorry for the people that work at PD who actually care and want to create something amazing.

    Edit: in light of the latest updates I now have changed the score to a 5/10. Im glad they’re starting to listen. I will raise the score further depending on future updates.

    Best racing game so far. Visual graphic next level with RT turned on. To those who are crying about credits, start playing instead of crying. This is Gran Turismo, where you have to work if you want any better car. Nothing should come easy.

    There it is, Sony, Polyphony: The Fans have spoken. This has to be one of the most damning indictments of microtransactions I've ever seen in my life. I will not buy this in its current state, as I know exactly what to expect. I've been burned too many times before.

    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.

    Not ok what Sony and polyphony are doing to there customers.

    Good graphics and gameplay but lack of content like cars, cafe menues seems suddenly stopped as if they left like 10 cafe books out

    After the 1.09 patch PD is getting in a better path.
    Hopefully they keep the promises

Now a week or so after release they patch the already grindy payouts to force you into purchasing credits with real world money (it even reminds you that you can EVERY time you get any credits added to your total) and mess the update up so much that the game has been offline for a while now so I can't even play it!

    I hate to have to say this but please avoid this game in its current state, I would be looking to refund if I could and wait to pick it up at what it should have cost (MAX £20) when they have completely redone the game.

    Edit - they have gone some way as to rectifying the issue but alot more needs to be done yet.

    Un Gran Turismo Descafeinado. Crónica de una muerte anunciada.

    El juego a mejorado gráficamente y en rendimiento respecto al Sport, aunque a veces desaparecen lo alerones mágicamente. El juego te lleva de la mano con el modo café cómo si no hubieras cogido un coche en tu vida. Ausencias de diálogos, todo el rato chapas por escrito cómo si fuera un rpg de Super Nes.

    Después de terminar este modo, no hay mucho más que hacer, salvo superar tiempos, el modo Sport, y estar cientos de horas farmeando las pruebas para obtener unos pocos créditos para comprar coches. Eso no es divertido.

    También destacar que el juego necesita conexión permanente y que contiene micro o macro pagos. Hace unos días con una actualización no se pudo jugar al juego, ni si quiera ver tu garaje. Una vergüenza.

    Sigue sin haber colisiones en pleno 2022. El modo Sport es peor que el de GT Sport. El modo para un jugador de GT Sport es más completo que el de GT7. El modo Sport parece carreras de coches de choque y el sistema de penalizaciones está mal implementado.

    Las ruletas de premios apestan.

    A veces recibes invitaciones para comprar coches exclusivos durante un tiempo limitado, suelen ser muy caros y con los pocos créditos que dan por carrera se hace casi imposible adquirir el que deseas. Quizás ese coche no vuelva a salir y no lo puedes conseguir salvo... SI PAGAS!

    Básicamente te cobran hasta por cambiar la pintura. El juego te sugiere continuamente gastar dinero en micro pagos. Si fuera un juego free to play lo podría entender, pero señores de Polyphony, me he gastado 80€ en esta basura.

    Lo único que puedo destacar de forma positiva, es el control con el dualsense.

    Ahora ya están alegrando cosas, pero señores de Polyphony, el daño ya está hecho y decidí deshacerme de semejante basura. Cualquier juego de la saga de Psx y Ps2 le da mil vueltas a este GT7.

    Basically we the players have just been employed to beta test a game but instead of paying us to do so they are charging us for doing their work,
    As it stands at this moment THIS GAME IS A SCAM.
    There is no point in talking about the game play as most players wont be able to get past the fact that they are being ripped off.

    I bought GT7 on PS4, but returned the game 14 days later bc of your false advertisement and defective practices. What a shame that you went the route of MTX. Got to support the gaming community bc you deserve the score you did.

    EDIT: With the recent patch update, I decided to give a 5. Think Polyphony is listening but the launch was disastrous, in my opinion.

    Ask me a week ago, and I probably would have rated it a 7, but in that time, the developer has completely tarnished the Gran Turismo name. I already paid $70 to be able to drive cars that I can’t afford in real life, but now it will take me months just to be able to afford them in this game. The push for microtransactions is absolutely sickening. As esports become more popular, this pay to play mentality is disgusting and will price out hopes and dreams of youth who may have tremendous talent. I have an idea for the developer - instead of trying to pull more money out of your players, how about developing multiplayer games that completely level the playing field - that really make you think and strategize like a racing team would? And while you are working on that, make it easier to earn credits so the microtransaction crap isn’t necessary. I know, that will probably take years to develop, seeing how long it took to release GT7 - a game that feels like it could have been released 5 years ago based on the lack of content.

    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.

    I got my PS5 solely for this game back in Sept 2020, it sat here collecting dust for 18 months thanks to the game's delayed release, now I finally have the game after paying the ridiculous premium tax, it is a massive disappointment and letdown. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone.

    I'm also very disappointed in the amount of cars compared to GT Sport, especially Group 3 cars where there are many newer GT3 cars which should be added as an obvious point - for example BMW only have up to the M6 from GT Sport, whereas since GT Sport released, BMW have gone through a whole GT program cycle with the M8 and are now racing with the M4. These cars should already be in the game.
    I look forward to seeing the upcoming updates.

    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.
