    I've been playing GT since the first iteration. The new GT7 is a joke.

The new GT7 is a joke. Sure it delivered some nostalgia of the older editions however when compared to their competitors they fall behind in just about every part from graphics, the non-intuitive interface, sorry ass social integration, and worst the pathetic director Gran Turismo 7 Kazunori Yamauchi released a statement on PlayStation Blog about the situation regarding a streamer Lifeisahighway79 This is what he said:

    “Why don’t you try adult, LifeIsAHighway79? You want a bunch of random cars thrown at you all the time while the banging soundtrack plays. True, thought what – Gran Turismo 7 isn’t that. Enjoy Forza Horizon 5 or heck, try DriveClub. I don’t care. As for the me and my body, we will measure the distance between the outside of our tires and the center point of our axle to increase our propulsion and suspension in a path that you are not allowed to anymore."

    This is a pathetic attack on someone because he decided to play a different game? Now I don't know who this streamer is nor do I know the full details but to have a Director of GT7 chiming in degrading an individual on a public platform is a form of bullying. I play games to get away from the real world, not be crucified publicly. So if Kazonura can see this... here's a BIG FU from USA! I'm boycotting your broken ass greedy game and will never buy another copy unless you publicy apoligize to the streamer "Lifeisahighway79" , to the GT7 community and the Forza community. You have no right to tell us what games we are allowed to play..

    Gran turismo used to be a really nice game series. But in the meantime it has become only a disgrace and unbearable. You have to be always online to play now! And now pay to win has also been introduced! WHY?? If you don't have internet, the game is not playable! I don't want that!! IT'S A SHAME! NO, THANKS. I regret buying the game!

They parade around the track in single file. Have never seen this b4. For the return of the single-player game as GT7 was touted there is no content. The cafe is just a long tutorial. You used to be able to choose cars for the first races from a selection of about 20 cars. Now you have one. Do this and get one. Use that one, now use the next you got as a reward. It's not like anything GT has done b4, and I don't mind changes, but this is just a tutorial that you have zero choices in what car to use. There are no more leagues. You used to be able to play from Beginner League to Endurance. There's zero. Beginner League alone had over 50 races. How many races after the 39 level rails for the tutorial? Ten different race series with an average of three races each. Horrible. I've yet to bring up the fact that they cut race payouts in half so it took longer to farm cars. You used to be able to buy individual cars for between $1 and $5. Now the expensive cars are over 18 million credits. But you can buy 2 million credit packs for $20 each. That means the expensive cars are $180!!!! WTF is that about? They didn't include the credit store in the game until the day of release. That means all of the reviews had zero clue it would cost that much. **** of them and deceitful! Sad to say this is the end of an era for me. Paid $80 to have 1/4 the amount of content of other GT games. How the head of the studio keeps his job we have no clue. He went from a god to a money grabber to people overnight. Sad. Expand

    Terrible credit rewards, can't sell cars to make money, greedy developers need to fix this ASAP as the game is almost unbearable once the menu books are finished. Furthermore, the offline mode is non-existent, even though you bought the game, really you own nothing without an internet connection. Sadly, I feel the damage is done now, this is the last GT I ever buy

    It takes a whole live to get some credits to buy a decent car to race on Gr4 or Gr3, or of course, pay for them in real money, very greedy indeed. I think I'll quit playing, I have no time enough to finish it, wasted money in my opinion. Very disappointed.

    The menu system is horrible. If I want to apply a paint, I have to go into the livery editor, it's not enough to buy the paint. It should apply it automatically. Why do you think I buy the paint? To out it on the shelf?

    The penalty system is brokennn beyond anything I have ever seen. I barely leave the track and I get a 0.5-1.0 sec penalty, the guy ahead of me completely cuts the corner and gets nothing. Then when my penalty counter runs out and I'm back from ghost mode, a guy hits me full speed from behind and I get a 5 sec penalty.... I get hit often and I see the culprit not getting a penalty. But hey, let it be. But when I get hit and I get the penalty, that's messed up.
    The lottery tickets. I complete the daily workout, and I get 1 and 3 star tickets. At collector level 44.... This is a joke. Then I "scratch" my ticket and still get the **** "reward" available. 5000-10000 credits in a game where cars cost 3 mill to 20 mill. Why would I bother playing when the rewards and the penalty is this messed up? Get your act together. This is an embarrasment to the previous GT games.

    Full price £70 which has been down for 24 hours for maintenance due to it being needlessly always online. Significantly less content than previous games, poor AI, and stupid rigged roulette games to earn rare items which guarantees the lowest payout every time.

    The game cannot be played if there is no connection or the game servers are down (like the last 22hrs btw).
    Races and events prizes are ridiculously low, farming cash is a pain and take ages, even for a skilled player.
    Force feedback on wheels is buggy (at least on g29), you can't feel the car sliding and the terrain like in other racesim games.

    I love the GT7! Not really a great game, but I don't agree with the policy of the game, for which I paid 80 EUR in the Playstationstore. Race rewards are ridiculously low and the game is a big grind for better cars. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that as an adult working person. The main thing is that there are microtransactions that are incredibly overpriced.

My wife bought me GT7 as a super-random and unexpected present, because I was so hyped due to reviews and I already had made some game purchases this month so I didn't want to spend anymore in games for a while, but I really wanted to play the game. I came home after work, opened my cloths drawer and there it was. What a beautiful wife I have. Played the game for hours and hours... then the weird "you can't play your **** physical game because of some server **** happened. I was quite angry, but it was like: you know? Elder Ring, Triangle Strategy... **** GT7 today, I'll come back tomorrow.

    Only to find that a patch was released, making the game so ****ty I'm short of words. It's an absolute insult for the players. An insult for the franchise. An insult for a **** sane brain. But the worst **** thing in the world is that I have this horrible feeling because I don't want to tell her that the game she bought me with all her heart has becomed a huge pile of **** because of a greedy company that will charge full price and then throw you to a microtransaction hell, just because the huge sales success are not enough for them.

    Spinning wheels are rigged, which I realized after... 7 throws? It was like: c'mon, in Forza Horizon I get like 1294814 cars with this thing. I can't be THAT unlucky, can I? You feel cheated because you are been cheated, and the publisher won't say a **** word.

    I'm so **** sad. When Cyberpunk came out (I had it reserved because I loved Witcher trilogy and the company in general) it was bad. Felt really bad, but it was my money. And I have played literally thousands over thousands of games in my life to confront that feeling.

    But I just can't manage this horrendous feeling of someone stealing from my wife. I assure you I could punch the responsibles in the face, no matter the price. They deserve a big slap in the face. Let's bury them until they rectify and make GT7 a proper, true, DRM free, single player game. And go demand the press that they redo their reviews in order to adjust to today's reality, because the game they reviewed is far from the one we have in our hands now.

    It's not enough mentioning it on a secondary video. Reviews must be rewritten. This is the one, people. Don't let them win.

    WTF? Wo sind wir hier? Wie kann man nur derart treist alles Gute kaputt machen?
    95% der Spieler spielen nur offline aber Polyphonal macht einen Online Zwang und fügen Mikrotransaktionen dazu,löschen einfach deinen Fortschritt wenn du zuviele Credits machst und schiebens dann auf schlechte Server...aber wollen noch mehr Geld von den Spielern damit sie ihr Spiel nicht spielen müssen- in ständiger Angst der Fortschritt könnte ja einfach wieder weg sein...

    Merkt ihr selber oder- ein eigentlich gutes Spiel wurde hier total zu Schrott gefahren , und die Spielepresse hat den Zug verpasst die Spieler darauf hinzuweisen das einfach alles was man sich erspielt von Heute auf Morgen wieder weg sein kann-

    Sorry aber dieses "Spiel" , oder Cash-Slotmachine , hat nicht mal 0 Sterne verdient...

    Und für alle die sich über das "Review Bombing" aufregen sei gesagt,es gibt Spiele die haben einen höheren Spieler-Metascore als die der Presse,weil die "Fans" das Spiel mögen,
    und es gibt eben
    "Spiele" wie GT7 die haben 100er Traumwertung der Presse aber nur 1,8 / von 100 weil die "Fans" einfach nicht jeden Scheiss mitmachen....wer das nicht versteht das man nichtmal der Presse glauben schenken kann die davon Lebt Werbung für Videospiele zu machen,der hat Metacritic nicht verstanden.

I’d be fine with the same costs as gt sport but we already paid $70 for this game, there shouldn’t be any micro transactions if they are going this route. Also some of the best cars are only available for a limited time or hidden behind an time sensitive buy invite. Don’t purchase until the developers fix it, if they ever do.

    After paying full price for that AAA game, asking through microtransactions gamers up to 40$ for a single car is UNACCEPTABLE. This kind of scummy behavior from publishers deserves full boycott, imo. The gaming industry has to take note somehow.
    Through patch 1.07 they even had the nerves to make you earn less credits, enticing you even more to spend real money in a game you already paid

    Gran Turismo 7 has the potential of being a great game but is ruined by corporate greed and incompetence. Graphics and gameplay are great, but greedy pricing structures takes a lot of the fun away from the game.

    Gran Turismo 7 is essentially the same game as Gran Turismo Sport. The same! The same cars and the same racetracks. To say I'm not lying, they just added two dozen cars and three racetracks. Only!

    Gran Turismo 7 is essentially the same game as Gran Turismo Sport. The same! The same cars and the same racetracks. To say I'm not lying, they just added two dozen cars and three racetracks. Only!

    The feeling that Gran Turismo is not a racing game and racing fun. It's a car masturbation game! Pure car pornography! It has music, jazz, history, coffee, fewer world racetracks and modern cars.

    The difference between the GT Seven and the GT Sport is basically two: they added customization (which was great!) and reorganization of the game design.

    Only that!

    Paying $70 for the same GT Sport is offensive!

    I can't understand how franchises that have budget and less production time available, such as RIDE, Grid and Project Cars, can deliver SEVERAL AUTODROMOS from all over the world, but Gran Turismo doesn't. In fact, after Gran Turismo competitors began to appear, the Sony franchise was never able to keep up with the market competition, as it always had a small number of world racetracks. The most modern supercars, hypercars and racing cars have always been absent! The latest Gran Turismo games, like GT5, GT6 and GT Sport have always lost to competitors in the market in terms of supercars.

    Where are these cars:

    - AMG GT3 Evo
    - Aston Martin Vantage GTE
    - Ferrari 488 GTE Evo
    - Porsche GT3 R
    - Bentley GT3
    - Ferrari 488 GT3
    - BMW M3 GT3
    - BMW M8 GTE
    - Porsche 935 R
    - Saleen S7 GT1
    - Ford GT GT1 Matech
    - Maserati MC12 GT1
    - Lamborghini Diablo GT1 Nomad
    - Ferrari F50 GTR
    - Toyota GT-One
    - Nissan R390
    - McLaren Senna
    - Aston Martin Valhalla
    - AMG Project One
    - Koenigsegg Regera
    - Koenigsegg Gemera
    - Koenigsegg Jesco

    Where are these racetracks:

    - Silverstone
    - Watkins Glen
    - Monaco
    - Indianapolis
    - Motegi
    - Imola
    - Mugello
    - Misano
    - Estoril
    - Algarve
    - Hockenheim
    - Lausitzring - Road America - Potrero de Los Funes - Macau Guia - Everland - Sepang - Shanghai - Kyalami - Philip Island - Donington Park Why spend so much time and resources on peripheral nonsense, music, photographs, history, VGT program, and there are no racetracks, nor the most modern race cars and supercars? If Playstation Studios gave the same time and budget to the people at Milestone or Kunos Simulazioni, I'm sure they would deliver a RACING GAME content much more varied and fun than this game from Polyphony! And to make matters worse: Sony has the cynicism to charge real money in order to purchase cars that are impossible to acquire for normal in-game credits.

    Gamers need to boycott this kind of thing (refund, don't trade in) and be vocal; it's the only way to stop the games industry imploding into its own greed. Cost of living is rising globally and Sony thinks these kinds of practices and costs are ok? That's a new level of tone-deaf.
    If Sony refuses to refund digital sales, then class-action lawsuit; the product was altered after sale/reviews without user consent or choice, in a manner that fundamentally impacts enjoyment of an entertainment product. If that's not some kind of implicit contract violation I don't know what is.

    - cars have strange physics at times especially when hitting gutters/corners
    - they removed ability to sell cars. You can win duplicates and can't sell
    - too much grinding, devs don't value your time.
    - the game does well to hinder your ability to actually race through boring missions and stories about racers. I don't need to know that Pedro moved to Japan when he was 5 and he thinks the flowers are pretty around the track
    - raytracing only available in cutscenes and replays

    I loved GT1 and GT2 and this was meant to be my return to this series. I even preordered the 25th Anniversary as soon as preorders opened.

    I am truly disappointed and cannot recommend this game, at least in the current form.

    You need to be always online to play single player it´s no reason for this I can only surmise as pushing for live-service BS in the future. The car parts are also grindy. The credits that you earn are meager. Each time that you win, there is literally an option for you to top up credit by purchasing them with real money using the PS store. This is an absolute shame and I truly pity Polyphony Digital. This decision was clearly made by Sony themselves and has nothing to do with the devs.

    it does'nt deserve the 80 dollars ( 75000 chilean pesos) not mentioned the expensive prices for DLC cars it's a theft. i don´t know what i'm thinkin when i bought this piece of garbage. Yamauchi you have to retired for the development of videogame and Jim Ryan Please GET OUT OF SONY RIGHT NOW.

    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.
