    Predatory mtx, unnecessarily always online, and nerfed race rewards. Greed.


    Update: claim to have "heard" the community, in my opinion the rewards are still broken and polyphony's greed is still obvious. They have a long way before I'm no longer disappointed.

    TOO MUCH RAIN. Even after update 1.11 on March 7th we have too much rain. You can enable weather radar and zoom out to 60 miles. It doesn't help! Tells us after it's already raining! If your going to make us deal with rain then give us on screen text messages and let us put on rain tires before it's too late. That said too much rain. Holy cow. Stop it. This is not fun.

The PS4 can't handle it? So what. The PS5 people don't want it! Freaking rain every race where it's possible. Lame. The rest of the game is pretty good. I have played every Gran Turismo. This is a good game when it stops raining. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hablaré en español resulta que el gt7 actualmente es un paytowin.
    Y es decepcionante ver a Polyphony digital y PlayStation studios permitir esto ,cuando viendo el pasado de gran turismo podemos ver una involución. No pido que sea el mejor juego del mundo ,pero la conexión permanente parece un insulto y una desconfianza total hacia los jugadores y una privacion de los derechos de los jugadores sobre su propiedad. Me parece una falta de respeto total que en la actualización 1.07 hayan nerfeado las carreras para obligar a pasar por caja y gastarnos casi 40 € euros por coche es una total vergüenza y mi nota será las más baja y espero que Polyphony digital piense y recapacite y elimine la conexiones permanente por que sino.... posdata no soy un fanboy de xbox

    Después de la actualización 1.11 pero la conexión permanente sigue siendo un lastre innecesario y por favor pido que vuelva el offline como siempre ha estado en gt .
    Por que sin conexión la disfrutababilidad del juego se merma

    I'm very disappointed in the latest installment of this beloved series. I have all the previous game, and none of them full price 80€ game had such micro-transaction pressure.
    The amount of money you make in the game make it a complete plain to pay with in game credit for the most expensive car. This is NOT how micro-transaction should work. not for a free to play game, and certainly not

    Grind or pay, but you can forget the fun...

    And the Solo campaigne required connection is just a spit in the face. I cannot play when your server are offline? You're wasting my time Polyphony Digital....

    You drop the ball on that one. I will change my score if you patch all this crap though

    March 7th 2022 Update
    Upgraded the rating to 7 because last patch 1.11 improve economics a lot.
    Won't go higher because we are still required to be connected for solo play which is a big downside
    Could add some cafe menu on pit stop, changing weather, endurance races, cars from other countries, circuit experience, GR1 cars, VGT cars, etc.
    I've finish the cafe menu solo play with only 80 cars... and most of them are not a million credit car. Am I supposed to mindlessly grind a billion credit to buy the 300+ remaining cars, most of them costing several millions credit?
    I would have expected a better polished game from PD instead of a game as a service with constant update.

    When it comes to content, the game is not meant to be a full game yet, because it is a service game and they add constantly new stuff every month, like they did in gt sport. So i am fine with it. But now lets talk about the game itself. And here i have to say, its a long time ago that i played a game that was so well done and made so much fun like gt7. Its hard and its challengy sometimes. But you can also just enjoy your car on the track if you want. And even when the game released as a service title, there is still a lot to do and there are so much cars that feel all so different from each other. I started playing gran turismo from gt4 and i have to say that gt7 is already my favorite of them. Sadly there is no ps5 to buy in europe and i am forced to play it on ps4. But it still looks and performs good on this old toaster.
    And if poliphony digital needs more money, just start to sell some franchise like shirts or hoodies or model cars. Or sell the game for more money only in the steelbook case. I totally understand that game development nowadays needs more ressources than back in the times of ps2. But keep the game great, because nowadays there arent a lot of good games anymore. And after patch 1.11, i believe that gt7 is going in the right direction. But if i am right or wrong, the future will show.

    Besides the microtransactions, online-only this game might be the best racing title of 2022 other than either the upcoming forza motorsport 8 or forza horizon 5 (if you even going to call it a "racing sim")
    Since the V1.11 update comes out making money in this game is 11x easier even compared to the updates prior to V1.07

For now the game is on a good way to become a worthy instalment in the series, even if there will be still many people upset with missing features compared to past Gran Turismos. But if you’re on the fence of buying it after all the negative outrage a few weeks ago, it’s a decent title again and you’re more likely going to have a good time than not.

    So, another staple of this industry has fallen into the darkness of unessesary always online for singleplayer content, gamedesign of f2p phone games to make you pay up to $200 in microtransactions for one car and a distinct lack of everything that made the previous six main entries great to begin with.

It is only the cherry on top that GT7 is offline for over a day without any info at all as to why and for how long. Give me a GT6 remaster any day over this hollow mess that GT7 claims to be. At least it had solid soundtracks in the past and some bare minimum of classic racetracks which we all know and love. Ingame economy is a joke, everything was designed to pressure you into buying very expensive credits. Took more than a few pages out of EAs book. First party developer, wow. Fan since GT1 peacing out. Turn this around very very quick or fade into obscurity in the future. Happened to bigger franchises in the past. Expand

    The problem I found when playing was the poor online server.
    I can't start a race properly and the connection often drops out.
    For me, who thought the biggest attraction of Gran Turismo was the online, the most important thing is to strengthen the servers and improve the lobby.
    Other than that, awesome game.

    I hate : removed voiced description of track expierances / licence tests (demonstations) and replaced it with annoying typing or don't give any comment at all. Didn't have money for it? Wanted to save some? GT Sport was amazing in that respect. No need to put your wheel aside just to see what someone is typing. Another extremy annoying thing is showing a car

    Feeling annoying after paying a high premium price for this game to find that they are very greedy by micro transactions to purchase cars of your choice. Silly amounts of credits are required to collect the cars you want. Unless you want to use the free cars that everyone else uses, update, glad they listened, so much more fun and a an awesome game.

    - Offline arcade/2p split-screen mode is barebones, should've added an option to use the unlocked cars on car index/car collection

    EDIT: With the economy system fixes in the 1.11 update, I think Kaz had listened to fans' concerns and admittedly this is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, at this rate, other issues will be fixed too.

    I wanted to wait for Polyphony/Sony's response before I wrote this review. I am so bitterly disappointed and this is the first review I've ever written so that should speak volumes in itself.
    The single player portion of this game requiring an online connection is simply wrong and is unacceptable. I cannot believe that it is literally impossible to start your game over and/or create a new save file. The official recommendation from Sony is to create a whole new Playstation ID every time I just want to start fresh. The save file is forever tied to the account, backed up to the cloud and made impossible to ever remove. Am I purchasing this game or just renting it? The update recently released made no mention whatsoever about changing the online requirements so you've officially lost a loyal fan of this series.
    You and your live service BS can get f%^&^d and I am returning the game today. Btw, get rid of those awful random roulette spins, this is not a mobile game however much you want to make it feel like one.

    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.

    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.
