    The game doesn’t work, down for maintenance for over 24hrs. Not worth buying this game as you can’t play it when you want to.

    It’s the real fomo simulator. I’d like to use an analogy to get across what the experience of owning this game is like. Imagine you bought a coffee machine, it says it froths milk and brews coffee. But guess what? You have to unlock the frother by brewing 5000 coffees!

    How fun would that be? Of course if you dont want to do that you can just pay us another $200 and you can use it right away! That’s shady af? But we don’t MAKE you pay us, you could happily use your new product to brew 5000 coffees and then unlock it! Oh and by the way, whilst you’re enjoying that ‘grind’ of coffee, make sure you’re always online. Actually, try and make sure we are online too because whilst there is no benefit to you as our end user to always being online, we have decided that you must always be connected to our servers to use your product. And if we nuke the product that you bought by releasing a poor update, you won’t be able to use it at all. But we appreciate your patience whilst we sort it out. By which I mean it is now 10000 coffees that you must brew to unlock your frother. Or there’s, you know, that other way of unlocking it, which we are totally not forcing you to do, just go do the same thing 10000 times. Oh I nearly forgot, I should have mentioned, that frother is only available for a limited time. We can’t say how long. And once it’s gone, who knows when it will be back? Not you, maybe us, but not you. So you should probably do whatever you can to get it now before it’s gone and we might replace it with something less desirable, like a bag to store coffee beans. But it could also be something which brews the best coffee ever and if you bought the frother, maybe you won’t be able to get the new thing?

    No need to worry about that! I’m not sure if this came up yet, but you can pay us $500 to skip the hours and hours of repetitiveness. As long as we are online. Enjoy!    … Expand

    If you’ve not bought it yet, don’t. It was already very hard to earn enough for the high end cars, the lack of big money pay out events is seriously limiting on a game about collecting cars. Add to that the massive reliance on a server connection to play even single player is crippling when the server is not available. Wait, make them sort it out before parting with your money.

    I was a huge fan of GT 1-4 and when I read how GT7 was going to bring back those days I never had second thoughts pre ordering this game, how wrong I was and now feeling like I've been scammed by then one game developer I had highest hopes for. This bait and switch, predatory tactic is the worst I have encountered. probably on par with cyberpunk fiasco. shame on Sony and PD!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Always played this series, loved building a collection of cars and racing real and created tracks.

    This new iteration now means hours of endless grinding (20 hours) to buy a top end car. I can’t do 20 hrs of the same track without losing my mind just to buy one car that you can’t sell if you don’t like.

    The game is £70, for that you expect to be able to achieve what you want and build a car collection. Not enough races or campaigns (just an introduction set of challenges). Small payouts and loot box style system for key upgrades. This was the reason I never bought battle front 2, 2 years of constant daily graft to unlock a game that you already paid for.

    How to ruin a highly anticipated game and decades of trust in 2 weeks. The first sign was the obviously rigged roulette spins, which even my kids joked "you always get the worst prize", but now slashing the in game rewards and a 24hr plus outage for a needlessly "always online" game is scummy at its finest. Do not purchase unless major changes are made!

    To top it all you turned this full pay release 70£ game into hatch’s mobile game that requires over 2000$ to get everything in it. I know that gas is up, but trust me, it’s not going to affect your virtual cars…

    BUT
    After a solid start, while almost finishing the whole campaign (menu books), I realized that rolling starts from the back of the pack without any chance of qualifying aren't real racing like. The payouts for the races were ok offline, but after spending about 400k on a r32 skyline to be competitive in sport mode (online), and getting 18k as payout for first place I feel robbed.
    They nerfed other races payouts in single player mode with the idea of pushing the player towards microtransactions... The option is always given, right under the payout screen.
    Since yesterdays update I'm not able to access the game anymore, because you are forced to have internet and a connection to the servers all the time. Which is absolutely nuts and reminds me of the NEED FOR SPEED from 2015, and EA learned from that, apparently. PD is 7 years late like the internet explorer and forces it's players to be constantly connected to the playstation network and their servers. Very customer friendly.
    If you're thinking of buying the game. Get the PCSX2 emulator and a copy of gran turismo 4, and you'll get a finished game which you're surely be happy with. And the crash mechanics are the same btw. For both titles. Or you can get your hands on Forza and not be forced to spend extra cash after buying the initial game for 80€...

    Maybe they will fix it, but I'm really disappointed for a legacy title, especially from a Sony "first hand" developer. Shame on you PolyPHONY Digital. Shame on the gaming industry and their constant push for micro transactions.

Indeed, they have largely reduced the credits earned per race and it becomes ridiculously long and time-consuming, needless to say also ultra boring to earn new credits to buy new cars. Other modes than the solo mode are not rewarding at all, and the utmost shame is that a lot of cars are very expensive, some of them costing the equivalent of +30h of farming in terrible conditions. There are +400 cars in the game, and what we want as players is to be able to earn new cars at a regular pace to enjoy them, and not to have to wait 5 years before buying thisbeloved and long-desired 12m Jaguar.

    Polyphony created at the last minute before the release of the game extremely unaffordable MTs in prevision of such moves, and as of now you may spend 120e of real money just to buy ONE car if you cannot farm. This is absolutely unacceptable because we do not want to pay 1000 euros a full game, but not to be deceived by a game maker that already sells its game 80e. The endless maintenance today also proves that the compulsory online servers to play the solo was a bad idea and destroys the gaming experience for which we had very high expectations, considering the prestige of the games, and their past mistakes.

    It seems that Kazunogain and his teams don't learn ! The game is failing on some parts but stays a pretty good game who deserve a grade between 7 and 9, it is too bad to waste such an experience with bad decisions and treacherous MTs.

    If the policy regarding the reduction of credits flips back, I will reconsider my grade and will eventually regrade the game by a 7+.

    We'll be a lot to do that, so please hear us ! It's a massive and collective complaint (just check Reddit, Twitter, GTPlanet).

    I hope we'll be heard. Sincerely from France,
