For those who watched (and mostly agreed with) my original GT Critique series, did you ever want to share it with someone but didn’t want to link them to a three and a half hour video they probably wouldn’t watch? Well, here’s the solution! The closing statement from that series which summarises pretty much all of my main points. Enjoy!

(If you want an even shorter summary just tell them that GT7 is a really shit, baby-fied version of a Gran Turismo game)

This video really makes you FEEL like you've experienced 3 hours of anger in 3 minutes.

Dont worry Rofl. Our prayers have been answered. They are finally giving us EXACTLY what we asked for. This August Update, we're getting the legendary ✨️Toyota ✨️Hiace ✨️Ambulance✨️ 🤯🥳🥳

rule 1 of any visual media: show don't tell. And all that menu books do is TELL us about the cars in their lectures...

[FonikosGazmas]

Thw most comprehensive and well condensed criticism for a game franchise I used to adore... Long live GT4 on PCSX2 and the emulation/modding community that keep it alive!!!

I completely agree with your assessment of GT7. To me, it seems like it’s less about actual, hard-core racing and more about the pomp and circumstance of the ideal of racing. The focus is more elegance and preserving some kind of “racing heritage” than getting in there and race for the fun of it. There’s a whole lot of fluff layered over a platforms that tries to please everyone but ultimately pleases no one.

I love this series but it needs a 100% complete overhaul. It needs to be less “shiny” and more gritty. Less formal and more ‘in your face”. Less “spectacular” and more visceral. I’m thinking of the Grid series of racing games as as example of these descriptions. Regardless, I will still appreciate GT and always follow it but yeah, Polyphony Digital needs to re-create and re-work GT from the ground up. It’s not fun anymore.

I don't know where PD are looking at feedback, but I really hope Kaz and the team see your video series. It's fantastic and shows just how brilliant GT7 could be...

[TomLehockySVK]

At this point i believe that the PS1 and PS2 GT games were just an accident as to why they were good.

When you hit the end credits and see videos of Kaz throughout the making of the game, and contrast it with the car and motorsports enthusiast he used to be and the pretentious rich guy he is now, you understand why this game contrasts with the older ones so much. Maybe I didn’t word this right but I hope it makes sense. Just reading about Kaz since the original game and to now, he’s a different guy and we have a different game that’s targeting different people. It would be better if this game was never marketed as a post-gt sport return to series form. If we have GT 1-6 and GT Sport, (I’m ignoring the prologue and demo games) this is more like Gran Turismo Hors d’Oeuvres.

Me: *enjoys gt7*
The fans and roflwaffle: You're going to die here son. Make no mistake about that.

[NRiZe]

Wow you actually almost summerised everything into 3 minutes, good going. I've certainly shared the GT7 playlist and hoped it wasn't too much to watch for others.

[granite_planet]

this condenses my thoughts to a supernaturally concise and accurate degree

wow

Kaz is such a brilliant game designer but he seems to only care about progress instead of doing what works and progressing from that. Imagine GT4 but with new cars, 4K Graphics, new tracks, new events, car customization, scapes and a slightly different progression system (maybe something incorporating the car collecting aspect while still keeping things open ended for players, the cafe can act as side quests or a method of getting money or cars if you can’t progress in the main game). And don’t forget Vision GT! It could be a side mode for those who don’t want to see them mixed in with regular real cars, it could be like the missions we have in GT7 but it could still be separated by car class (so the Bugatti VGT isn’t racing against the Copen VGT). But that’s just my imagination, we probably won’t get that game unless Kaz is literally babysat by Sony into making a masterpiece (which won’t happen).

Yeah, no matter how good GT7 looks, the fact that 80% of that fat 160GB space the game uses is meant for online races and events only, and the campaign more is a joke and the amount of credits you gain is so little, it makes GT Sport look like the best option. Even if you can't change car paints in that game anymore because, who knows why, they decided to remove that with the offline patch.
Either way, GT is becoming a ghost of what once it was, and if they don't go fixing it soon, I doubt people will stick around for a GT 9.

I dunno, the fact that you pay fatty 70 for a game that requires you to be online always and most of it's content requires a PS plus subscription is a joke and an offense to the buyer. Especially if you're truly offline, then the game is unplayable. That's insane.

[jonatanrobledo]

It feels like Kaz just wants to make a Virtual Car Museum with interactive features, but that doesn't sell the good numbers.
So they just slap a VideoGame on top of it... and tadaaa, you get GT7.

The perfect video about GT7. Smart and straight to the point.
