    DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! What a joke. What a shame. I was so excited to play what was supposedly 'The greatest driving sim', but what we got instead was a MTX mess. Shame on the board for encouraging microtransactions and whoever decided 'always-online' is a good idea. I hope they fix this game, until then I'll be playing Forza. I'm returning GT7 to best buy tomorrow :(

    Something felt off when I started playing this game, but I was able to push the feeling aside because of the gorgeous content and gameplay it provided. After the update 1.7. it comes clear, that I’m not able to do so anymore as this game is now a lost cause. This is heartbreaking as I have been a life-long fan of the Gran Turismo series.

    Here's an actual quote from Kazunori Yamauchi..
    'Also in this update, some event rewards have been adjusted. I wanted to also explain the reasons for it and our plans going forward.
    In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions.' So, what did they do... nerves race payouts. 100,000 credits for a 24hr endurance race. Who's even gonna think of

    They’ve ruined a game that was okay, the graphics were better than gt sport but not by much. The always online is terrible. The reduced payouts from races is funny considering they didn’t want people grinding out the same races, yet that makes people do it more or give up on the game entirely.

Most people who spend £80 on a game want to play it, not pay more money for in game currency to buy the cars they want/need to play the game. The cafe and progression is flawed, the fact most cars are ported from gt sport with hardly any actual new cars is appalling, the sound profile on many cars is just wrong, and the big one for me is the fact that they couldn’t even get split screen right, always online and you can’t use your own cars, you can’t adjust settings, and the hud is so bad. GT4,GT5 & GT6 did it better. Expand

    The individual cost of many of the cars is now in the HUNDREDS of real-life dollars.
    If you choose to only earn credits in-game, expect to have to complete hundreds of races over and over in order to earn enough to buy just ONE of those cars.
    And that was BEFORE their prize nerfs. Now it's even worse with update 1.08!!

    Outrageous push to buy microtransactions. Does Yamauchi expect us to play his game 24/7. There is no long term vision that I see coming. If he wants to curate the GT experience to this point, remove ALL microtransactions and then he will have a foot to stand on. I paid the full price of 80 Euros on PSN to support this game and I now regret it. This is just a greedy cash grab.

    Always online DRM also means no game preservation 20 years down the line. We need Polyphony to promise an off line mode once the servers shut down.
    The driving physics when the car jumps in off road races are also very unrealistic and the game preventing cars from rolling over also adds to the sense of unrealism.

    On-line requirement for single player mode and the insane push towards micro transactions completely destroys this game, no matter how pretty it is. It has, to my knowledge, the worst in-game economy there ever was, and that's in a game focused on the off-line single player campaign, and sold at a full retail price. Disgusting.

I love Gran Turismo and I’ve been waiting years for this game, I finally got it and it saddened me that the game is heavy on micro transactions, you pretty much need to spend close to $40 dlls to get one of the best cars in the game, I could farm credits but SONY just decreased the amount of credits given per race making it close to impossible to get some of the limited time offers to get legendary cars. Sony fix this I already paid $90 for this game then I get treated like this?

    Also another huge issue is that you have to be online always to play this game, then why I paid for the disc???? Servers went down for more than 24hrs!!! Why? How come I cannot play offline while the server issue gets fixed?

    Sony is dropping the ball big time with GT7 and at this point I don’t recommend this game to anyone.

    Cmon seriously sony you have so much money but you put microtransactions and require always online for the game.

    Microtransactions: 1 car for 50$ like who does that
    Always online required, so it means that i wont be able to play the game in 10 years.

    You were better in early ps4 days.

    BUT Game still has terrible ai despite PD flexing about sophie. Rolling races only and the game forces you to play catchup WHICH IS NOT FUN AT ALL. I thought the cafe was going to be some kind of side quest thing. Turns out, it was THE MAIN CAMPAIGN. The game holds your hand way too much during it and there is absolutely no endgame content that lets you

    I thought the cafe was going to be some kind of side quest thing. Turns out, it was THE MAIN CAMPAIGN. The game holds your hand way too much during it and there is absolutely no endgame content that lets you use high end cars. They absolutely dropped the ball on this one.

    The world map is a dumb Idea. They should've added an option for cup view like in previous titles.

    Don't get me started on the microtransactions. PD reduced the payouts for races and forces you to grind more. Adding salt to the wound, there's a credit limit of 20 Mil for earned credits but no limit for purchased credits. You can't even sell dupicate cars! There's also a dumb lootbox system but it's really scuffed compared to sport. High end parts are locked behind the lootbox system and can't be purchased in tuneshops unlike in previous titles. I'd be fine with the roulette system if it was like in gt sport where you can ACTUALLY get cars unlike gt7 where they give you 5000 credits 90% of the time.

    And then there's the always online DRM. I was locked out of the game for over 30 HOURS. I was not even able to use my own cars in the arcade races! Overall, this GT was a massive dissapointment with the reduction of quality motivated by greed. I'll just set up my ps2 and go back to playing GT3.

    The update 1.07 that lowered race credits gains by 50% to increase the microtransactions payment is just a shame on a 80€ full price game.

    Good game, too buggy in places, and obviously released too early. But the microtransactions made me suspicious. And the reduction of rewards feels awfully like we’re being shafted.

    Very uncool, and not what I expect from a trusted brand. Needs fixed FAST, or they’ll alienate their fanbase quickly.

    Warum bitte ändert man Sachen wo man bissel Kleingeld verdient ab. Das hätte man ja vor Release machen können. Jetzt aber nach dem Release sieht es eher danach aus nur mit Echgeldverkäufen zu verdienen. Und dann noch ohne Server nicht spielen zu können das echt ohne Worte.

    This game hyped me up and all I was thinking about when will this game be playable, how many features will make this game a masterpiece etc...

    BUT some days after the release I found out that this game requires always online connection so you have to buy that **** ps plus just to enjoy this game

    Trash!!! They made racing secondary to car collecting. Also the RNG for the gifts is ridiculously not in your favor, 99% of the time winning the lowest prize. Now they have microtransactions! What a shame.

    So disappointed in the initial design decisions that have been made on this project. It's hard to believe its been 7 years and this is the result. Hugely disappointed. The Gran Turismo brand is forever tarnished.

    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.
