    You know. It's a shame. I was singing this games praise to anyone that would listen for the first 2 weeks. It was great. Played well (sure the always online part isn't ideal) I thought for my money it was as close to the originals(1 and 2) as it had been. Hit me with that nostalgic feeling while also feeling like a true next Gen.

Oh yeah I can spend real money to buy them. F that! Microtransactions killed this game imo. Only reason I gave it a 1 is because I enjoy the game play. Otherwise I won't spend another dime on this franchise.    … Expand

    The worst excuse for a $70 racing game ever! I really can't believe what Sony has done to the community by releasing this garbage. It's almost like they released it unfinished and plan to add more races later through dlc. The driving physics are good but the cost to buy cars and upgrade
    them will take forever. I am do e with Sony. Forza motorsport here I co.e.

    Wow, is all I can say, I pre-ordered this game trusting in PD and Sony after years of enjoying GT from GT1-6 and even Sport. I thought $70 was a lot but that I would be rewarded.

I thought $70 was a lot but that I would be rewarded. I poured hours into the game over the first week and was moderately annoyed at the roulette wheel, but could live with it. Little did I know this was an online only pay to win game. I would never have bought it for that price. As soon as the server was cut I could not play the single player game (it makes me sick to my stomach that I wasted money on this, I could play that stupid real racing 3 on my phone for free if I wanted that experience). Then I find out they are nerfing the already low payouts for races, not to mention used cars like the GT-R from the mid nineties going for $369000 (that is just insane). The prizes for winning were still pinned to 1998, but the cost of the cars pinned to some insane currently inflated price tag, and then they cut it in half. That is just nuts.

    Sony and PD, why on earth would I even turn the game on again at this point. I haven't, it has sat unplayed for almost a week now on this news. I can't even understand the calculus behind the decision, unless it is just pure greed, again if I wanted to play a game like that I could just play that stupid mobile game real racing 3. I have no interest in F2P, and I certainly feel ripped off right now. I am angry that I even invested in a wheel and pedals to play this game and then this happened. What a bait and switch, what poor practice, what poor handling. I hope this game score hits 0.0 and lives in infamy for how to poorly handle your most loyal customers. Because what you are doing is sticking your thumb in the eye of the people who cared most about your system and your game. GT7 is the reason a lot of people even chose PS5 over Xbox SX... Well it used to be, it probably will be a reason people choose to not return now. Seriously, if I was in your shoes I would be fixing this today, not tomorrow, not next week, not in a month, today. Because, quite frankly, the damage you are doing to your reputation and the rep of this series is pretty close to irreversible.

    I hope you read these reviews, a lot of people are upset, and it is because you changed the fundamentals of a solid game into a cash cow for milking. Treating your customers with disrespect by breaking the game and MTX is always a way to lose money and support.    … Expand

    No offline mode, cars are extremely expensive and there is no effective ways to earn money without using microtransactions, this was one of my favorite franchises, however greed has get in to it and corrupted a once really enjoyable title, truly sad.

    Ridiculous payouts since update. Forcefully trying to make us, gamers spend real cash to progress. I will definitely not spend a single penny! I've been a loyal player since gt1 back on ps1.

And yet "We would really appreciate if everyone could watch over the growth of Gran Turismo 7 from a somewhat longer term point of view". What we'd appreciate is a game where a significant amount of the content isn't being locked behind the gate of "money, please", a game where we don't have to rely on your ability (or lack thereof) to keep the servers running after releasing an update that is designed to force more spending because players found a halfway decent race payout that doesn't make us excessively grind for money to buy overpriced cars. I spent $90 on the 25th anniversary edition because I was genuinely excited to return to the racing franchise that I grew up playing since PS1. In return I received a game that is designed to just take more of my money and the response of "please just wait while we figure out just how much we can get away with so you all will stop complaining". What an insult. Never before now would I have thought Sony/PD should be in the running for "worst company of the year".… Expand

    Long time fan of the series, bought a PS5 just for this game. A day after loading up, game goes down for 30 hours leaving me unable to play. When it went back up, the game is now full of atrocious microtransactions. In a £70 game! Avoid this title and studio, appalingly devious tactics which should be illegal.

All you can is play the arcade mode while the whole game keeps asking for internet, you will not have access to the cars you unlocked, not even if you want to know a bit more about the car in the arcade mode.
    To resume this story, I bought it and sold after a 2 days, even before the great disaster occoured, and I'm glad I did.

Il primo lo giocai emulato su PC, il 2 lo giocavo a casa di amici che avevano la PS1, il 3 è stato il mio gioco di guida preferito per molti anni, ho difeso Gran Turismo dagli "attacchi" del primo forza motor sport, per il primo Xbox, ma dal 5 in poi la traiettoria scelta dalla Polyphony Digital li stava da prima facendo perdere terreno ed ora come ora, proprio sbandare.

    Partiamo dallo stile di gioco: le auto hanno la stessa fisica del primo GT: provate a schiantarvi a tutta velocità contro una barriera, l'auto si fermerà in maniera così innaturale da chiedersi se sia un gioco del 2022 o del 1970.
    I danni al veicolo si limitano a pochi fattori estetici e ad oggi, non ho notato danni meccanici rilevanti.
    Arriviamo poi a quello che reputo veramente assurdo per un gioco che faceva del Tuning delle vetture una delle sue peculiarità: le modifiche alle auto, hanno prezzi, effetti e limitazioni assolutamente senza senso.
    Nel mondo del tuning delle autovetture, si può fare praticamente di tutto. l'unico limite è il budget a disposizione, certamente portare una 595 abarth a a 500 cv costa molto, ma comunque meno di mettere le mani su una ferrari da 600 cv e portarla a 750. sono auto differenti con prezzi molto differenti e prezzi estremamente differenti. dal 5 in poi invece tutto si è omogeneizzato.
    Molto triste è nche il fatto di aver limitato le modifiche eseguibili e la compatibilità di alcune di esse a modelli invece che altri.
    Capisco non poter modificare una Tesla: non ha il motore termico, ma tutte le altre modifiche si dovrebbero poter fare a qualsiasi auto.

    Poi con l'aggiornamento 1.08 sono diventate molto impattanti le ODIATISSIME MICRO TRANSAZIONI! i premi delle competizioni si sono abbassati enormemente e si è costretti a ripetere le stesse corse per decine di volte se si vuole avere un po' da spendere, anche in virtù del fatto che le auto vinte non si possono vendere!
    Questo contribuisce a rendere ripetitivo e noioso un gioco che aveva fato della varietà il suo punto forte,
    Aggiungo anche la mancanza di alcuni marchi importanti come Lotus. Kia, la Alfa Romeo Giulia e Stelvio.
    Insomma GT7 ha perso la sua identità concentrndosi sulla frivolezza e sul Pay For Win. premiando con poco e richiedendo soldi veri per auto virtuali.

    Penso che lo restituirò un gioco che per chi come me ama le corse e il tuning non ha più nulla da dire,    … Expand

    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.
