    Gran Turismo 7 is the best GT game by far, BUT always online feature is killing the game. I have just lost 20 HOURS of progress (credits, mission, licences, cars, etc) because my PS5 updated while sleeping and GT somehow loaded the fridays state... I have never experienced something like this and I am not willing to spend other 20h again on the same content.

    Solid game. But it needs many fixes like Rallye physics, quality of life improvements and the biggest issue: economy.

    Great Franchise ruined by greed and stupidity. Ill start with the good: The physics are great in most care (more on this later). The graphics are great for a GT game. The sound, while not great, is far better than any previous game. The attention to tiny details in certain areas are amazing too, plenty of easter eggs to uncover. Amazing menu music Now the bad

The attention to tiny details in certain areas are amazing too, plenty of easter eggs to uncover. Amazing menu music Now the bad

    Dont buy the game expecting the typical GT issues to be fixed as they haven’t learned a single lesson from former mistakes. The online is just as bad as ever. The car count is fine but the number of new cars is almost zero, no 720s, no c8, dont make me list. Most popular sports cars from the last 5 years arent here. The race music is near identical of the previous game with the exception of maybe 5 songs? You still have 90% of races starting in 16th place rolling start with the leader half the track ahead. The AI is just as bad as ever or perhaps worse because they pit you for zero reason. Now the really bad

    Microtransactions are fine as long as you dont tailor your $70 game around them…but they did this time. Every single car has seen a price increase (an s2000 is $100k) and payouts from races are TINY compared to previous games. The game is completely unfinished, half of the licenses arent even used in the “campaign”. There isnt a real campaign. Theres a stupid cafe system where you can finish in 3 days and thats with only a few hours played a day. PD is actively patching races with large payouts so players dont get money too fast. The number of courses is miniscule and dont include many courses featured in trailers. The physics for some rwd are completely wrong (ie 350z has snap oversteer like an s2000 with bad tires. These are both cars ive owned and tracked irl). There are many glitches, crashes and flat out errors that are getting worse with every patch (for the past week, tires on dozens of mission races and licenses have been bugged making the missions/licenses near impossible. TLDR: absolute mess of a game. An embarrassment for a 25th anniversary. Wait and I mean WAIT long to buy it, perhaps a year or more. Completely unlike the PD of old, but anyone with a brain could have seen this coming after the launch of GT 5 and GT sport. Those were just tests to see how little content they could getaways with and how gullible the fanbase was.    … Expand

My internet speed tho, apparently you need good internet..didn't think i got the right game because of the mini game sound of music is vary much a requirement you need to complete at least one to unlock the actual game... I reset my PS like 3x before just muted the tv and did it.. With all the default settings ibgot silver no sound just holding the gas and steering.. The cars are beautiful but the crowd and backgrounds, they are hilariously bad unless they are in a cut sean. Licensing tests are brutal and probably the best part.. Every thing from then on focusing on collecting cars with its own xp to a raffle system that's super under welming and its down hill from there. a quest system from the "Cafe" that is what's controlling your way through the game and likewise the reason im probably not going to fully see the game because its just not worth it to grind out lots of these races. Definitely looks like a pay to play model is forming around this game.. Are the races difficult ya is that the result of new advance AI no probably not. They don't know your there most of the time and really like that racing line.. I have a feeling it's going to be a struggle to actually get past this tarrible starting for me before I can like it. Huge fan of the franchise and had sucker on my head when I jumped in with the collectors edition trusting that the product was good with out doing much research.… Expand

    Always online BS. Can’t even play offline during maintenance. Server went down for 12 hours but I can’t even play campaign mode. Spent $100 plus tax on this. No games should be forcing online only. Just go play Forza. Capping earned credits is also WILD. You're not getting any more of my money!

    Money issue was fixed, but the penalty system, especially in sport mode is completely broken. I've gotten penalties for other drivers hitting me. And I still think that they need to improve the money in the game. Since day one they said you'll be able to ask cars and as of 05/12/2022 you still can't sell cars. There is still about is things in the game they need to fix

    Never expect too much. Generally, it is a good game. However, the graphics of the surroundings is like ps3 graphics, particularly when you are comparing with horizon. There isn’t much cars, and are extremely hard to earn credits, especially after the 1.07 update. In general, a good game with horrible marketing and operating

    They've sold their soul. Micro transaction cancer has ruined this game. Also annoyed by the lack of new tracks over GT Sport. The graphics are amazing, as is the attention to detail, so is the gameplay but the campaign is far too short and it's so daddy. Honestly, just buy GT Sport, it doesn't look as good but is 90% of the game without the annoying micro transactions.

Logged a lot of hours on GT3 A Spec with the official steering wheel. As I moved onto the PS3, I got a proper driving l seat along with the PC Logitech G25 Wheel, gear stick and pedal set. On PS4 this combo stopped working as they try pushing users to newer models. That said with the Drive Hub adapter it emulates newer wheels and works just like it did on PS3.

    I got GT Sport late in the day due to poor reviews. I got like a year later and eBay, with all the updates thought it was great. I got GT 7 on launch after discounts cost me about £52 not £70. I got the PS4 and paid the £10 upgrade so I can play on both consoles.

    GT7 is a great game and a big step up from GT Sport. A much more complete game. As I'm using a wheel I can't really comment on how well it plays with the dual sense. But with a proper wheel, especially a seat it's amazing.

    I response to all the crazy feedback in the "news cycle the past week" and users scores of 0. What a massive over reaction.

    I never spend real money on micro transactions, I'm cheap and it's kinda cheating anyway. I've amassed ~35 cars so far. Think I'm on menu book 18 or so. I'm enjoying "the grind" learning the game etc, building up to the faster more expensive cars.

    So I admit I wasn't affected by the servers being offline for 30 hours. I'd not played for a good few days due to work. But this down time is not on the same league as Cyberpunk being a buggy mess. Or Halo missing half of the normal features.

    On patch 1.07/1.08... maybe they were encouraging those that can't wait to spend real money... Maybe they were trying to balance the game? Maybe I'm not the target audience that was affected by the changes.

    Some people are upset that they paid £70 for a full game and therefore expect access to all the content day 1.
    In my view you get the rare cars for putting the effort in. Who really needs to drive every single car. Looking at my gt7 stats page on the web: Since launch I've logged in 7 days but only had time for 4 proper sessions of just under 2 hours each. I've earned 461,00p credits, driven 439km. I have kids so don't have much time to play / watch them play.

    I recently unlocked split screen multiplayer that you mentioned, but I'm playing through the cafe books. I also have access to online, but I'm too cheap to pay for PSN, so only special free weekends for me. I've nearly finished collector level 9. I own 6% of the cars.

    I'm on level 22 and completed 34% of the campaign. I've never bought a car and have 1,500,000 credits. I only by cars or tuning if I don't meet entry requirements or can't beat a race. It seems like you earn credits more easily in GT7. For me I'll be playing this game on and off for years.

    Some of the graphics continue to surprise me. I played a night to day race the other day, really like how the headlights reflect all over your car interior. When driving I really don't miss the proper ray tracing. The approximated equivalents look pretty damn convincing. I'd much rather have the 60fps, with the cinematic 30fps and ray tracing during menus and replays.

    I know mandatory online could be a problem for some. GT Sport for PS4 had the same thing. Luckily for me I have fast broadband so no online issues. If you were online I guess you can play music rally. I understand the requirement to avoid hacking, fake race times etc which would be a bigger concern.

    The benefit of online to me is that all my progress is in the cloud and I can switch between consoles and just carry on. I think PSN has a similar feature (Cloud Save), but I don't subscribe to that (no online racing for me)
    But the unique thing here is I can switch between PS4 and PS5 and back to PS4 no problem. Handy as my driving seat and rig is generally hooked up to my old PS4, with the PS5 downstairs for the kids.    … Expand

Online Only (0/10): This is my main issue, you are required to be online all the time in order to progress trough the game, now, this wouldn't be so much of an issue if the servers were stable but lo and behold.. they are not. I can't count how many times I was forced to repeat a race from the cafe because I would lose connection to the server (mostly at the very end of the race). This is extremely frustrating. Please make the game offline for the single player part.

    3. Microtransactions (5/10): I'm giving this section a 5 because I hate the microtransaction system in general in any game. But - from my experience this one isn't that bad. So far I was never really cornered into even thinking about buying in game credits with real money, I'm not that far into the game and yet I get a decent credit reward with each race and I am able to upgrade my cars and end up 1st in every race. I am tho worried about the reward reduction on those 16 races.

    Am I playing the PS original? Because GT7 certainly doesn’t feel new. The only thing worse than the PS5 is the Xbox series X! There’s a reason the Switch (much less powerful) system is winning the gaming war. Great games! Classic games upgraded to make them instantly familiar, but more advanced. PS and Xbox should be embarrassed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gran Turismo used to be a game where you can play whenever you want on disc and enjoy. Now if you live without internet, you cannot play. Creators tried to go for the realism simulation vibe, which makes sense for vehicle prices, as far as earnings go, you complete 3 races, you get a wheelspin. Couldn't be farther from it's own game, they had to take the forza wheels pin and add it in so all the 10 year olds love it. The entire fan base of today, which consists of past as well as present, are very disappointed with the route the game developers took, as far as creation goes, there's nothing that can be done to save this abhorrent excuse of a racing game.… Expand

Would that not be reflective of "the real world" as well? Such shameless profiteering has been the downfall of many franchises in all aspects of business and art, and it pains me that a title I have enjoyed for half of my life has been corrupted by this kind of unethical capitalism. It seems that motives are so driven by quarterly profits, that they can't see the long term money they could garner from providing a game that was just damn good, and not driven by micro-transactions, but by the words and recommendations of a rabidly passionate and longstanding fan base that has eagerly awaited its release.

    There are a lot of positives with this game, but they are not even worth mentioning because of the many many thing that ruin the game completely.

When people (whether AI or real people    There are a lot of positives with this game, but they are not even worth mentioning because of the many many thing that ruin the game completely.

    The greedy developers made the cars crazy expensive relatively to the earning for racing. When someone finds a way to grind money a little faster, Polyphony makes an update to intentionally ruin this.

    When people (whether AI or real people online) crash into you, YOU get a penalty instead of them. You get penalties for nothing basically. Polyphony is like a bully, it forces you to look at videos about sportsmanship and then gives you a penalty for someone pushing you into a wall. So theres this paradox when they tell you behave, but then practically motivate you to crash into people, because they will get a penalty, not you.

    The AI is made so that it intentionally crashes into you all the time when they have a blue flag.

    There are just a few tracks and all of them are sterile.

    The offline portion doesnt work when you are offline. That means that when Polyphony decides to do something with the servers, you are not allowed to play. Sometimes it malfunctions and you lose a 60 minute race (lose like it behaves you never attended that race) you were 57 minutes in in the last lap.

    You cant sell cars, which was something the developers said you could do. There is much more that the developers lied about. Like they announced that there will be a live service, new tracks and cars all the time. To this day, more than two months from release, there is zero new tracks and about three new cars, but they all are i think three Subaru BRZs, which are all the same car with just tiny differences.

    Even my 1 star rating is too much in cases when the game goes offline, because the game is literally, without exaggeration, unplayable. An unplayable game doesnt deserve even one star, one star is for a game that at least functions.

    If you travel at least 42 km a day in the game, it means you made the Daily challenge and you get a lottery ticket for prizes, which are often nice, but you almost never get them. This lottery is mega-rigged. Statistics of players show that it is programmed so that you almost always get the lowest prize (the game makes it seem that there are 6 prizes and there is therefore a 1:5 change to win an exact prize, but it is not like that, you have a more than 90 % chance to win the garbage, the rest is for the good stuff - proved by research of players), which is 2000 credits. That is a bad joke because you can´t buy anything for such a low amount. The tickets are also predetermined, so the lottery animation is just another deception from the developer. Yesterday i received an invitaion for Citroen. That means that if you are lucky and win this invitation, the game will allow you to buy an overpriced car from the dealership.

    The campaign is very short and again a big lie from the developers, since they promised something else than this short campaign.

    In every campaign race, you start last in a rolling start. If it was just sometimes, no problem, but this is literally always in the campaign.

    There are not many cars. I think there are like 420 of them at the moment, but often they are just slightly different versions of the same car. So if you don´t count these copies and fictional cars, it´s more like 200 cars at best.

    Basically, the game is made so that it makes you more angry than happy, it looks like if it was made by perverted people who indulge in sadism.

    When i think of it, Im lowering my rating to zero, because this game is so much of a scam and theres a difference between a game and a scam that tries to look like a game. The latter doesnt even deserve a 1 rating.    … Expand

The customization is also great, not only while customizing the performance of the cars but also their looks (as well as the driver´s look). It also looks amazing, Polyphony as usual surprises us with their amazing car models, tracks, weather effects and more! There are only over 400 cars in the game, but with the amount of detail and polish each one has it is acceptable, because the time required to make highly detailed cars in 3D is absurd.

    Negatives:

    Unfortunately the AI of this game is not that good, they other cars don´t feel like other players but more like just bots. The story mode is different and it could´ve worked out, but it needs polish (at least for GT8).

    Ugly negatives:
    The grind in this game is the worst kind of grind ever, because the rewards the game gives the player are very low compared to how high some of the car prices are. This is emphasized if you want to platinum the game, because to do that you have to spend 25.5M credits on 3 legendary cars that you will probably never use outside of photo mode or to try them out.
    This also highlights another issue that is that said cars can only be purchased within limited windows of opportunity because of a new system used to purchase cars, which is that the used cars and the legendary cars are only available within a limited amount of time, but they are randomly swapped for other cars and god knows when the previous cars will be in stock again. In previous titles the used cars switched when the player won a race or a championship, so at least the player had some agency in that. This is of course is made so that in desperation of never getting the car you want you purchase overpriced credits with real money in hope of getting more revenue for the game. I also forgot to mention that some standard cars have "car invitations" for you to purchase within a limited window of time, which are not as bad as the used and legendary cars, but still worth mentioning.
    And the killer design choice of this game is DRM (digital rights management) for a single player game, which is just insane. A player who bought this with their own U$S60 or got it with a gift should be able to play 100% of the single player content with no restrictions, but the DRM makes it so that the player is locked off 95% of it while they don´t have an internet connection. If the game was free or online only this wouldn´t be a problem, but as it is right now it pretty much is. I have had the game not giving me the rewards I deserved for a race or a license test multiple times because my internet connection is bad, and that is not acceptable. If Polyphony were to fix this then the game would still be a grind, but at least you´d be able to play it with just your PS5/PS4, a tv and electricity.

    Conclusion:

    This game plays and it looks fantastic, the story could´ve used some work and the used/legendary cars scheme and DRM for single player should be fixed immediately.    … Expand

    That bit there ^^^ that's why this has three points out of ten rather than zero. That's it. Now....on to the negatives. The many, many...MANY negatives. There are    Visually stunning, good tuning upgrades, excellent racing model with very good handling. Probably second only to Assetto in terms of satisfying sim handling. Not as realistic, but still very enjoyable. Good range of cars.

    That bit there ^^^ that's why this has three points out of ten rather than zero. That's it.

    Now....on to the negatives. The many, many...MANY negatives. There are little niggles and huge, outrageous flaws and everything in between. But I'll start with the biggest issue:

    - Microtransactions. MTX for short. I have never, ever seen a AAA game implement MTX this disgustingly. It's jawdroppingly shameless. For those of you who don't know what GT7 consists of - well you have to unlock the cars before you can drive them. That means buying them using in=game credits. This is normal in modern AAA racing games. You can also spend real money, in the real world, to buy in-game credits. This is less normal in AAA racing games but it happens, and it's just one of those horrible things we all have to put up with because GTAV started the trend and also because there is no god.
    So GT7 has these microtransactions. How bad can it really be though? Surely if other games have them it's okay for GT7 to have them too? You naive fool, let me explain just how bad it is in this game: the legendary cars, the really expensive ones, cost 20m credits. How much is that in MTX? Well, about £150. £150 for a single car. In a carlist that numbers in the 400s.

    So how do you earn money in-game? Grinding. How long would it take to earn the 20m credits for that legendary car? FOURTEEN HOURS. Fourteen hours grinding the most profitable race, a mindnumbing hour long race.

    So you either spend fourteen hours grinding for that car or you spend £150 of your own real money. Either way...you are a f***ing idiot.

    But there's the roulette system right? The system where you occasionally get to spin a roulette wheel which has some tasty prizes on it. That sounds like a decent way to mitigate the grind and the MTX...right? Wrong, as wrong as you can be. The roulette system is so laughably foul, so ridiculously, comically evil, it's like it's laughing at you when you spin it. Because it's rigged. It's openly rigged. This isn't some suspicion that paranoid GT users have - it's been demonstrated. It's rigged to fall on the smallest reward, and it does so deterministically and with obvious contempt for the playerbase.
    To me the wheel sums up GT7's economy. They didn't even bother to hide the fact that it's skewed. Polyphony don't seem to care that you know.

    All of that makes the game a miserable experience for a newcomer like myself. I want to get into it...but it hates me and wants me to go away.

    Of course, that one issue of the game's economy is more than enough to put any sane person off the game for good. But Polyphony wanted to make sure, so they added in hundreds of little ones too:

    - visual customisation is absolute bumsauce.
    - the clutch implementation in the game is bewildering.
    - the UI and general menu system were designed by a madman.
    - the chase camera is locked to the car in a way that turns off anyone who's come from playing any other racing game made this century. It would take a modder about six or seven minutes to fix this. Polyphony's take is 'f*** you, we're unique'. Yes, but not in a good way.
    - the career mode, single player in other words, is truly rubbish.

    Etc. I'm going to stop now otherwise I'll still be here tomorrow. This game is utterly disgraceful, and I cannot believe that the short term benefit of raking in money from halfwitted MTX whales could possibly outweight the long-term disaster of turning so many people off this franchise completely. Add to that the general slow, laborious, grudging way that the developers respond to any complaints, the stubbornness with which they approach a videogaming genre that has changed radically since GT first arrived on the scene, and you have a recipe for alienating huge numbers of paying customers, very quickly, forever. Genius!

    There's a great driving model underneath it, but really...who cares? A scorpion is a brilliantly evolved creature, but it's still a c***. I don't usually approve of review bombing, but in this case it's completely justified.    … Expand

El juego te lleva de la mano con el modo café cómo si no hubieras cogido un coche en tu vida. Ausencias de diálogos, todo el rato chapas por escrito cómo si fuera un rpg de Super Nes.

    Después de terminar este modo, no hay mucho más que hacer, salvo superar tiempos, el modo Sport, y estar cientos de horas farmeando las pruebas para obtener unos pocos créditos para comprar coches. Eso no es divertido.

    También destacar que el juego necesita conexión permanente y que contiene micro o macro pagos. Hace unos días con una actualización no se pudo jugar al juego, ni si quiera ver tu garaje. Una vergüenza.

    Sigue sin haber colisiones en pleno 2022. El modo Sport es peor que el de GT Sport. El modo para un jugador de GT Sport es más completo que el de GT7. El modo Sport parece carreras de coches de choque y el sistema de penalizaciones está mal implementado.

    Las ruletas de premios apestan.

    A veces recibes invitaciones para comprar coches exclusivos durante un tiempo limitado, suelen ser muy caros y con los pocos créditos que dan por carrera se hace casi imposible adquirir el que deseas. Quizás ese coche no vuelva a salir y no lo puedes conseguir salvo... SI PAGAS!

    Básicamente te cobran hasta por cambiar la pintura. El juego te sugiere continuamente gastar dinero en micro pagos. Si fuera un juego free to play lo podría entender, pero señores de Polyphony, me he gastado 80€ en esta basura.

Just know that you have to spend it all on the cars they tell you to spend it on, unless you don't care about progression, that is

    Quite possibly the worst racing game ever created. If you can even call an always online piece of software a "game" to begin with.

    Insulting cash grab, always online garbage that tricked reviewers into lying to us. The anounced fixes are nowhere near all the changes this trash game needs, and they think it's worth 70 dollars on top of a required ps plus subscription, with overpriced micro transactions. Just buy Forza.

    Leaving aside all of the micro-transactions/ripping off/always online tactics, what really disappointed me about this game is that after 25 years, it's still more or less the same: no car damage or punishment for driving poorly; no realistic driving physics; no customization of your car exactly the way you want to; if you want to customize anything, be prepared to spend a lot of in gameLeaving aside all of the micro-transactions/ripping off/always online tactics, what really disappointed me about this game is that after 25 years, it's still more or less the same: no car damage or punishment for driving poorly; no realistic driving physics; no customization of your car exactly the way you want to; if you want to customize anything, be prepared to spend a lot of in game and real money; still the same old, boring, dumb, safe and cautious AI that races in a straight line and never seriously challenges you. Same old race tracks (remember in GT4 where you raced down the streets of NYC and Paris?); can't customize your own tracks and races; can't select, change, customize the music like you used to be able to as you have to use Spotify if you want to import your own music; lots of lame, useless gimmicks that don't add any value like the JRPG style dialog boxes. One can go on with how disappointing it is that Polyphony Digital/Sony hasn't really changed or grown with the times other than follow EA's lead as far as nickel and diming gamers and long time fans for money and offering nothing in return. A lot of the cool and interesting things that were introduced in 4-Sport have been removed.
    Go for Assetto Corsa or Forza Horizon instead if you want a real and much better racing, innovative, simulator experience that doesn't try to rip you off and give you mediocrity in return. The Gran Turismo franchise is done.    … Expand

    Review bombing this game is extremely unfair. I`ve been playing the game from day one, never spent any extra money on it, never grinded for in game currency, and still have almost 200 cars in the garage.

    Everybody talks about money but I will say something about cars. This is a 2022. game and it still has 90% cars from previous games. No new cars from 2018 above? I bought it to drive new cars and got very disappointed. Too bad, I regretted buying this.

    While it's beatiful to look at and the driving mechanics are super good, the rest of the game feels like a shell of it's former self, with less events, less cars, missing features (and essential ones) and it really pushes players into a "grind or pay for microtransactions" situation that feels wrong at least.

    This game requires an online connection and runs as a live service game with greedy microtransactions. It's also a full-priced game. If you live in a rural area with bad internet, don't have internet, or are traveling with little to no internet then there's no way you can enjoy this game. GT6 is the last good game they produced.

    To make it even worse, with the last update they also nerfed the amount of money you get from most races, so you'll have to grind for hours to buy anything.

    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.
