    What a joke! You have to be online to play single player? They release a new patch that halves rewards for coin to force you to buy more. Then to top it off the servers go down for 30hrs plus and make game unplayable??? Wow the greed. Did they employ someone from EA or Ubisoft to mastermind this?

    I initially looked past the pretentious atmosphere. I always was dubious of the network requirement, dated list of cars, and artificial scarcity. Corporate greed ruined this one. Give it 6 months if you’re on the fence. There will be hundreds of copies in a $5 bin along with Battlefront 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

    Thanks, Sony. This was THE reason I got a PS5. You lost a 25 year fanboy with one

    100 Euro für 25thAnni Version verlangen und dann noch so 'nen künstlichen Druck erzeugen für den Kauf der Ingame-Währung ist 'ne Frechheit. Die Preisgelder sind insgesamt zu niedrig angesetzt, da braucht keiner mit Langzeitmotivation kommen. Hätte ich gerade Zugang zu GT7 (Wartungsarbeiten dauern länger als geplant), dann hätte ich hier nichts geschrieben. Warum macht man hier den Fehler und kommuniziert den Status der Wartungsarbeiten nicht sauber und öfter? Die wenigsten Menschen haben Probleme damit wenn's länger dauert, aber ein regelmäßiges Feedback darf da nicht fehlen.

    Genug für heute..

    Honestly the game is fantastic but spending 100€ on a “freemium” game (Anniversary Edition) with online only option is not acceptable. Since the pre longed maintenance was announced over 24h ago, PD stood radio silent. Please fix the MTX dependence and let us just enjoy the game!

    gameplay OK
    graphics OK
    what is not ok: microtransactions, connection requirements for singleplay (cafe, story mode, split screen coop), updates shorten race prizes making it almost impossible for a casual player to acquire an end game car, 24+ hours offline with no updates nor comments from the company and I can't use the cars I own on split screen (this is really bad) kind of regretting

    Where to start? The MTX? The requirement for constant online? The complete lack of consideration for the fanbase?

    Usually I expect a slight grind in Gran Turismo, but I didn't expect PP to push the game so far into P2W territory. Infact it's maybe closer to P2P. MTX is shoved into your face at every opportunity, post race, in the menus on the PS start up screen. Its crazy. The other

    The other issue is the constant requirement for online servers. As we have already seen this has caused a considerable backlash from the fanbase as the server maintenance means that not only is online unplayable but the general campaign is unplayable too! What a crazy decision to make.

    As a regular fan I'm very disappointed

    Wonderful: Graphics, audio, vehicle modifications, physics, history, passion.

    Terrible: Tiny car list, Online-only for entire game despite it being a mostly single player experience which is totally unnecessary and stupid, PD communication about over extended "maintenance" while the game has been totally unplayable for over 31 hours now, stupidly expensive cars requiring real money on top

    These bastards at PD are almost as bad as Rockstar or EA! They will get what's coming if they continue this greedy rubbish.

    Requires always online, even for single player. when server is down, the game is unplayable. the whole game is made for MICROTRANSACTION. One Jaguar costs 12Mio. Cr. so you need to grind 22 to 26hrs. in races, or spend 120€/$ for ONE car. its ridiculous. worst policy I've ever seen. even worse than EA.

    I am so disappointed with this game. This is not a Gran Turismo game, this is a money grab, a soulless shell of the franchise and a piece of corporate crap.
    Bring back the career mode, bring back single player experience (always online is garbage!) or give me my money back. I feel I've been completely misled on what this game actually is.

    Bought the game over 24 hours ago. Haven't even been able to play because servers have been down the whole time, and they don't even let you play SINGLE PLAYER without a CONNECTION.

    Predatory F2P style microtransactions in a 70 dollar game. They just released a patch to nerf race rewards and lengthen the grind because not enough people were buying their BS microtransactions, and this patch has caused the game's servers to be down for over 24 hours, rendering the game unplayable as 90% of its content requires an internet connection (including single player modes).

I'm reading also that in review copies of the game the games MTX store was not even active, and race rewards were significantly higher. Really shameful anti-consumer practices from Sony here. It's a shame because the actual racing is great. If you buy this game please do not engage with the microtransactions as this is unacceptable in FULL PRICED GAME. Expand

    I never saw a game maintenance longer than a day. The game is just like a DLC of Gt sport but cost you $60. Also, you need to buy if you want the car, they reduce the awards of track to “motivate” you to buy credit through your credit card.

    No offline mode, no multiplayer if server is down. Disappointed!

    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.
