I had a co-worker back in the 90’s who was obsessed with GT and had the most expensive steering wheel for it. She was in her 40’s at the time. I can only imagine her right now in her 70’s playing this, gripping her wheel and having a good time.

I will never forget getting Gran Turismo 1 for my original PlayStation and playing it for hours on end. My dad is a mechanic and also worked on some stock car racers (I unfortunately never caught on to it) and I remember asking him about stuff in the game and he was thoroughly impressed with what it offered. I cannot wait to add this to my collection.

You forgot to mention that without online connection, you can NOT play this game offline, except for a few one lap races.
Even with a physical hard copy disc, if your internet is down or Sony is down, this game does not allow you to play.
I don't know why it's made this way, but a huge bummer for an otherwise amazing game.

[jeffreydean]

Love the fact that I’m seeing people coming back here to voice frustrations. No one should be happy with the latest “update.” Wait for it to be $20

[DawnOfTheOzz]

It's a bit hard to justify this game since most of it is locked behind an Always-Online connection. Like, do the devs have an End-of-life plan once the servers are shutdown or will most of the game will end up bricked once all support ends? That to me is kind of a major deal breaker for most games.

After the 1.07 patch this week, im gonna say wait for sale...

They nerfed credits earned and removed the ability to sell cars.

Legendary cars are like 3.5mil. People calculated it will take 30 hours of racing to unlock.

It's the equivalent of $40USD for a GT40

You need to buy 3 for a trophy to get the plat

The community is pretty upset right now. PD is really pushing microtransactions...

Man, I spent countless hours playing Gran Turismo 4 back on PS2. Loved that game. These games are surprisingly deep and take a while to see everything they have to offer. It’s always been my favorite racing franchise. It’s good to see that Polyphony Digital is trying to take their crown back. For me they’ve always made the most impressive racing sims on the market. Love your vids Karak. Keep up the great work.

[akshayarrison]

I'm happy to see them succeed. I don't care much for racing games but seeing the studios passion in those state of plays really made me get interested

[Gary_M]

No mention of even the single player mode being mostly online-only? Dealbreaker for Hitman, and a dealbreaker here. It's a shame, I love both franchises but maybe I'm just going to have to be done with this hobby.

[gdoumit]

I think the only real downside to this game right now is that it requires an internet connection for all modes. Digital Foundry covers that part. It severely limits what you can play when in offline mode and constantly spams you with notices to say there's an error connecting.

[bamban_garcia]

Gran Turismo 7 deserved to have its offline / online modes on different discs

WAIT

I say this as a huge fan of the series from the very first game back in 1995. DO not buy this right now!! Bugs, microtransactions and lack of content is how I can best describe this game. Week two has been rough.

[vhsmemories]

Really wish you mentioned the offline mode. Theres almost no content availible to play while offline. I feel for people who bought this expecting a single player experiance and getting nothing.

[kutdownongaming]

I sub! Why you spoke about wheels! I’m a thrustmaster t150 user and THANK YOU for covering No one ever speaks or cover wheels! Bless you man!

[fulanodetal]

I still remember the first time I played Gran Turismo 1. Amazing games!

[DeadSpaceMartyr]

Dude you are the best reviewer! Legitimately neutral compared to a lot of others. I was always getting GT7 either way but awesome to hear it’s great.

Coming back 2 weeks after launch. Firstly, when PDs servers go down, you can do hardly anything.

The disappointment in the GT community at the moment, is the highest I have ever seen. I myself now understand why there is disappointment.

This game doesn't offer a campaign mode like other gt games where you have the usual Amateur, Beginner, Endurance etc. You can't go into a mode to choose the cup you want race in, ie you can't do the Sunday Cup as you can in other games.

You can't sell your cars for credits like the psn description says, again something you could in gt games.

After 2 weeks, the credit system has been shown to be geared towards MTX. And very heavily. Just today PD have slashed the rewards for completing cafe races, the roulette tickets are geared very very heavily towards low rewards.

It has time limited invitations to buy cars which induces fomo. It prompts to buy credits everytime you get rewarded credits from roulette.

It has very little content that has pit usage and tyre wear and fuel usage. Unless you make a custom race, there's hardly any. I'm talking maybe 2 in 37 menu books so far.

There is 1 grid start so far. The rest is typical start at the back.

I am genuinely genuinely upset at this 2 weeks in. Everything they have put in the game is top work in terms of looks visuals sounds etc. Scapes is still incredible.

But I've never had a gran turismo game put me off the franchise. Not even when I was lucky to get one of the faulty discs back in the ps2 game.

Give us the campaign mode as its always been, with rewards so we can collect cars in the game.

Get rid of the MTX.

Any racing fans do not buy Gran Turismo 7 in its current state.

As a racing fan and GT fan this game should be called GT7 Prologue! There is hardly any single player content because a cafe mode with no voice acting and a few cups. There’s basically no good way to earn credits and have a goal steadily pushing you forward and they try to lean you toward microtransactions to get credits faster. You cant even sell your car and there’s only 400ish vehicles vs. 700 in some other racing titles. Also the roulette wheel is rigged and not true random and you barely get any spins!

The game also has Ray tracing mode and performance mode but they don’t affect gameplay only replays on the PS5! While the racing, water effects and handling, and some stuff are good, Forza 7 stands up to this game and it came out in 2017. They should not have released it yet, but they’ve had since damn PS3 to make mainline game but this one not much better than Sport in it’s current state. They better release updates at least to fix it since it’s a live service. But at this rate it’s sad this what the GT franchise has become, they need to get it together because I strongly believe Forza Motorsport 8 is gonna come blow this out of the water if they don’t fix it. But Sony needs to get on this dev team to get the game in shape or they’re gonna lose a lot of players.

Now they’ve updated and nerfed the money earned on certain races to help people get good cars is BS and not being able to play the single player when servers are down is dumb af. Don’t spend your money on this game until some of these issues are resolved, especially the ones regarding earning credits. Cause as of now they’re just trying to make it to where either you have to play the little content for 100s of hours or buy microtransactions to get credits to buy the great cars or upgrade yours. Complete trash and highly unfortunate because there’s a good game underneath all these terrible practices.

[Sabre_Wulf]

You need to revisit this after new patch 1.07...utterly ruined the game through greed

[mattsmokes]

My grandpa bought GT1 and a PS1 with a steering wheel for my brother when he was a kid because he had, leukemia and spent a lot of time in the hospital. We had so much fun with that game and both my brother and I became life long gamers. Luckily my brothers doing ok but my grandad passed in October 2021. When he was in the hospital we bought him a PS4 and he was blown away by the graphics and gameplay. He was playing RDR 2 and GT: Sport when he passed. He was really looking forward for this one I’m gonna play it for him
