I have a PS4 Pro and I had the same thought... before watch this: th-cam.com/video/O73VuI_cit0/w-d-xo.html After that I decided that there are many downgrades in front of the PS5. I'm a big fan of GT games, but for me the answer to your question is NO.
I bought a base PS4 just for this game - not disappointed. The load times are a little obnoxious at times but at least the music in the game slaps. As far as graphics, it's a racing game. I don't need to see detailed blades of grass at 140+mph. The game still looks incredible without RT, advanced GI and advanced shadowing.
You could Upgrade the HDD To a PC’s Sata3 2.5 SSD you can 240-500gb used for pretty cheap. Just check the health of the SSD before you buy it. That Will make a noticeable difference!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video, really appreciate it, this 70 year old doesnt really want to shell out for a new ps5 but has played all the Grand Turismo games to date, so glad to hear i wont be missing out on much, will purchase the ps4 version.

I'm playing it on PS4 and the graphics are mind blowing, it really looks incredible.... yes, the shadows flicker a bit at a distance and the details pop in the other cars... but the level of detail is incredible. I also played it with a wheel, but with the DualShock 4 I'm just faster. Today I did my first online race on Nürburgring GP with Group 4 and came 4th straight away. I never played GT Sport, my last Gran Turismo was 6.
Always get an SSD for your PS4. Sure it won't magically make your PS4 faster, especially for the non-Pro version. But a standard SATA SSD from a reputable brand can reduce your loading time to around a minute or less in GT7.
This comment is super late, but I agree with the SSD comment. My ps4 pro hard drive crashed, I had to get a new drive and someone recommended going with a SSD instead of the standard HDD. I could not believe the difference it made. My ps4 pro loaded and installed games super fast. I'm sure we've all experienced a laggy moment during game play, the SSD completely removed that issue. I had zero stuttering, freezing, etc. I recently upgraded to a ps5, but that ps4 pro with a high end SSD was amazing for what it was.
I have a Panasonic 2010 tv and a Samsung Q70 QLED 4K and games running in 1080p on the Panasonic look better than HDR 4K games on Samsung. The only big difference is lag time. Samsung is quick but my goodness does the plasma just looks spectacular still, even for retro as well. It’s so much brighter and cleaner.
@@2pacaveli257 I end up getting the PS5, and obviously still enjoyable. I do like how the PS5 controller gives you a bit more realistic feel. It's still great on PS4 regardless.
Been playing GT7 on PS4 Pro since it came out. If it weren’t for TH-cam comparison videos I’d have a hard time believing that the game could be any better to be honest. Definitely get it whatever platform you’re on if you don’t plan on upgrading any time soon.
I play on PS4, it's a perfectly fine game. I chose to upgrade my old G27 instead of buying a PS5, and I am more than pleased with my decision. I ended up with a Thrustmaster T300RS, T-LCM pedals and the TH8A. I modded the pedals with rubber, skateboard bushings and a spring, and the TH8A has a 75mm shaft attached and a Clixbeetle GT v2. I want to get the Ricmotech sequential mod, but $60 is too much for me to spend on that. So far, so good either way.
my main worry was performance. before i bought it on ps4, i waited to see if anybody was complaining about crashes or frame drops. the game runs perfectly. slower load times, obviously, but that's not a big deal. im never annoyed by the load times while playing, even if i do a 8-10 hour long session.
I have a PS4 and I've been playing GT Sport - it's definitely an improvement on that and looks great. The environmental changes are the biggest difference from 7 and Sport - time and weather looks so good.
I have it on PS4 and it runs buttery smooth. I was a bit feared to miss out on content or that the framerate would be bad but no ! So yes, getting it on PS4 is 100% totally worth it.

Graphics are really solid and the game feels great on the controller. No regrets, already have 20+ hours into it.
Ive bought aused PS4 a few weeks ago, then the first ive bought GT7, plugged my t300 in, and startet racing, it feels phenomenal on the wheel. Im coming from AC and PC, and never thought how good it is, GT7 on PS4 is just great. And runs very smooth.
Bought the PS4 version coz I can't get a hold of a PS5. Good thing there's a free upgrade to the PS5 version. I did get a Fanatec wheel, so I'm good for a while.

Bravo Sony and the Polyphony team. Thank you for having some integrity towards artistic vision. I hope it's awarded appropriately.
@@the-real-big-vic7359 Agreed, but there still is a difference. GT7 involves a lot of movement amount many different menus and the almost non-existent load times on PS5 make that process much smoother and maximizes play time.
The game itself is fantastic. It’s a shame they muddied the waters though with the bad grind and micro transactions in a full-price game. That’s some Ubisoft nonsense that should be below Sony studios to even consider.
I have it on ps4, it plays and looks just fine. The loading times are no worse than any other large game on ps4. I haven't had any stutters. I am only a short way in the game so far, but I like it so.far.
I don’t think that’s ever going to happen hombre. Always been a PlayStation exclusive. It is what it is. But you’re right it would get more attention. 🤷🏼♂️ this is how Sony sells consoles.
no bro we console players dont want to go head to head online with 120+ftps compared to our 60ftp. PC gaming is not fair online as it depends on how much money you have to buy the best processor, graphic card, ram etc.
@@artificialidiocy1665 they could limit online to 60fps, they already have DRM for online making the game unplayable offline even in sp so i dont see the probelm.
Been thinking about buying this game, I have a ps4, but was afraid it wouldn’t look great. Honestly it’s still good from what I see here. I imagine the loading time is more, it thats a given. I’m sold, I’ll still get it. Ive been wanting a good racing game that gets back to basics, and doesn’t feel overwhelmed with other side things. Looks awesome man
Unfortunately there are still the microtransactions and the excessive grind necessary to get what you want in GT7 in contrast to former GTs. But this still applies to both versions. Interestingly enough Sony "revealed" the microtransaction not right away, but after all mayor critics made their reviews. That's why the metacritic score and positive/negative ratio differs so much between critics and users . Apart from the game itself, great video on the PS4 version.
I have a PS4 Pro and playing on my 49” super ultra wide monitor and I’m quite happy with the results playing GT7. I transitioned to PC a while back but Grand Turismo has given me a renewed excitement for PlayStation.
If you have some tech skills you can swap your PS4 HDD with a SSD and squeeze out some of that load time to improve it a bit. Did that to my PS4 pro and it did noticeably load games faster.
I got the PS4 Pro version and honestly at 1800p resolution, it looks and runs great, i went with the Series X as my next gen system, it's nice that i can still play some Sony exclusives that have received quality PS4 version such as Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7 and i'm sure the new God of War will look great on PS4 as well.
I am playing on my PS4 Pro and PS5. Either version is fine, but I am surprised at how much I enjoy playing on PS5 with the dual sense controller. The haptic feedback is amazing, better than any other racing game I have played on console with a controller. On PS4 Pro, I can play with my Accuforce wheel and HE pedals using the GIMX software, which is great, but the graphics are a clear step down, plus the PS4 version has stutter at times.
@@drewywgx924 I know, right? That was my bias until recently. For more arcadey racing games like Forza Horizon 5, GRID Legends and GT7, I prefer the controller because I can just chill on my couch and relax. That being said, for sims like iRacing I can only play with a wheel and pedal set in VR using my HP Reverb G2.
Thanks for the comparison video, exactly what I was looking for :) Worth nothing that upgrading to an SSD in a PS4 is very simple to do and worth the effort.
If you have some tech skills you can swap your PS4 HDD with a SSD and squeeze out some of that load time to improve it a bit. Did that to my PS4 pro and it did noticeably load games faster.
I would recommend fitting the PS4 pro with an SSD. Updates are much quicker as they don't have to go through the copying phase, and GT7's loading times drop from about 40 seconds to around 17 seconds.
I bought the 25th anniversary edition, so i got the ps4 and ps5 version. I am playing it on the ps4 currently runs good. 1080p. Still waiting for the ps5 to be availeble again.
I've been a bit spoiled when it comes to experiencing great graphics. I have a great gaming PC with Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon 5, and other games on all maxed out settings on 1440p. Playing GT4 on the PS4, I definitely notice the downgrade. However, if you have a PS4 already, GT7 is worth the buy!
Loading times and the PS5 controller are the only major plus sides for me on PS5. Loading times are actually pretty long in my opinion, who has gotten accustomed to SSD speeds. Over all GT7 is definitely a great buy for PS4
Great and very informative video! Big thanks for that! And hatts off for your superb and very talented way to explain things, amazing stuff and on the top of it you are even funny! 😉👍😃
I just bought a second hand PS4 Pro because the 5 is way overprised at the moment (750/900 euro's in the Netherlands. The PS4 pro is good enough to play this game
#1 there is content missing. The proper campaign is missing replaced with those cafe menus. The campaign mode is better in GT Sport. I have both games on my PS 4 #3 I had GT7 on a PS4 slim but upgraded to a PS4 Pro. There was some stutter with the PS4 Slim and slightly less stutter with my PS4 Pro but PD has fixed the stutter in the last few patches. #5 I've used the same SSD in the PS4 slim as I have in my PS4 Pro. There's a big difference in loading times. The PS5 Pro loads much faster due to its SATA III connection. The PS4 Slim is still stuck with SATA II.
Have a standard 500gb PS4 & GT7 is awesome ❗ definitely my favorite racing game so far just wish that the campaign portion of the game was tied to my console instead of Polyphony's servers ( online only ) even if you purchase the two disc physical copy.... #PS4 #GT7 #logitechG29
My PS4 wants to set off while playing this , game looks phenomenal play great only thing stopping me calling this a 10/10 is loading times man alive it’s annoying
If i want GT7 now i would need to play on PS4. PS5 is out of reach, not available. But thankes for review, now i know PS4 version is decent enough to be played.
I have this on ps4 and been playing it for a little now I'm on like the menu book 33 now but I haven't played a ps5 yet and honestly I think this game looks insane for what it is on ps4 and a 55in normal TV. But yeah I've been thinking about buying a ps5 and gt7 with a little simulator setup. I really enjoy this game I think it's insanely realistic compared to the other racing games on ps4
From what I've seen, the PS4 looks good enough. Obviously not as good as PS5. Unlike Cyberpunk 2077 they don't recommend you get PS4. To wait until you get a PS5 console.
I’ve experienced some frame drops on the OG PS4 but other than that I am loving it. I got the 25th Anniversary so I will have it for PS5 when the time comes.
How could ray tracing not be used besides replays, what a waste and it does make a big deal im not getting it for ps5 because that’s a feature I’m I’ll be missing
I've been hesitating to buy GT7 PS4 version due to concerns you've reviewed.And now, it is clear to be that PS4 version is still worth under the circumstance that I don't have plan to buy the PS5 in the near future. Thank you a lot!!! 🎉😊
I agree 100% !!! If you have not yet got a PS5 like me....why deprive yourself now. Enjoy ....btw, I like this dude...little guy in a big chair talking technical with a strong accent. He reminds me of Chekov from Star Trek
Thanks for this, I've been enjoying the ps4 version. Kinda sucks that there's a group of ps5 owners who resent the cross gen aspect of gt7. Anyone who's played modern pc games know that you can play the same game at low settings or pay through the nose to at ultra.
My issue with the cross-gen support in this case is not graphics, but rather gameplay. Simulators use a lot of CPU power to, well, simulate stuff. This is also true for GT, and unfortunately PS4's weak CPU do hold back the game for having an even more advanced physics engine, since the game has crossplay and that means the physics have to be shared between 2 consoles.
The main reason I wanted to try Gt7 is because of the adaptive triggers. I don't think there is any game beside Gt7 and Astro-bot that use so much of this new tech. Otherwise neither the ps4 version of Gt7 or Gt-sport in general are not THAT different from the final ps5 version in terms of gameplay and graphics . So please If you already bought a 500 bucks console to feel what's new at the table , just spend 10 more dollars and really enjoy . Even the 4k resolution that was the main goal in gameplay not to be sacrificed , even the loading times that are almost not existent do make the game better . Adaptive triggers in this game are so good that you won't even need a racing wheel if you don't wont to spend extra 200-300 bucks to take it to the next level.
What interests me the most is the reaction time. I mean, how fast the console detects that you moved the wheel to the left or pressed the breaks. That’s what’s gonna make my lap times. Will the ps5 with all the high graphics turned off detect my driver movements faster than the ps4 pro?
I've got the ps5 and gt7 on it.. my friend has ps4 and he has gt7, so ive seen both, and ps5 version is better and with not only looks but loading times, and when your trying licences and reloading constantly go get that gold the time saved loading is much appreciated trust me... if you use controllers, the added emersion on ps5 is massive bonus, I use a wheel so that doesn't effect my gaming, but I did try the controller for a while to experience it, and it's just spot on. Graphics wise the ps4 version is squeezing all the last dregs of performance out of the system and it does a really great job, but the ps5 just says pass me my beer, I got this.. its that smooth and effortless especially in performance mode, and you really need a decent tv to get the full effect, I bought the 55" sony bravia that was suggested for ps5. Either way gt7 is pretty much a most own game for driving nuts, its setting the standard again.... at last.
I agree, why buy a PS5 (*IF* you can find one), when you can play the same exact game on your 2013 PS4. The same EXACT experience. Microtransactions, 800% increase in car prices, reduced race pay-outs, no offline single player gaming... the list goes on!
It looks good on PS4. But let's not get it twisted, it's way better on PS5 in 4K. My wife kicked me out of the main room of the house where my 4K TV is and made me go into a bedroom for a short time on a regular 1080p television. It was obvious how much different it was. Edges looked grainy. It was like I was back in 1996 on SNES playing Mario Kart.
When attempting to play GT7 on my PS4, instead of on the PS5, I finally found out what people mean about the noisy cooling system on the PS4. I have never, in all of my time owning the PS4, had a game that needed even 20% as much of the cooling as GT7 does. The console sounds like a fully loaded A380 attempting to take off into a 300mph headwind. Otherwise, it is just the loading time that irritates. Although I found that I could actually complete S10 on the PS4 version because the car was easier to control. Or maybe it was just the fact it was attempt number 19235 that did it
Having played both, the differences are minimal and I prefer the PS4's DualShock controller. The real question is do you want to play a game with mechanics from the PS2 era? There are some bafflingly poor design choices in GT7. I enjoyed GRID Legends so much more
I bought the PS4 version even though I'm playing it on a PS5. I "upgraded" to the PS5 digital version for $10, but I find myself playing the PS4 version more. The PS5 upgrades are minimal in my opinion. I also measured how many watts the PS5 is pulling while running each version and the PS5 version used double the electricity! The air coming exhausting from the back of the PS5 while playing the PS5 version was warm and barely room temperature running the PS4 version. Also, the PS4 version has much shorter loading times on PS5 relative to how long they are played on a PS4 (although the PS5 version has almost no load time at all).
There's no migrating your save game. Your game is saved online. Even if you delete your save on your console it will start where you left the game. There's no way to start over without creating a new PSN account. Which is dumb. I like to restart my games from time to time but when I've cleared GT7 I'm only left with online mode which I have no interest in.
You’re actually wrong about many of the points you make in this video. Especially the ray tracing. Sure you don’t get ray tracing in races, but most people who are taking their racing seriously or competitively are using the bumper or hood cam anyways. Now for what you missed. Not only do you get ray tracing in replays, but also the photo mode and menus as well which presents the cars much better when looking at them through the menus. And ESPECIALLY in photos mode. And much better race replay photos. As for the dual sense, the trigger resist will make you a much better driver since you can feel braking pressure, ABS slip and control throttle input much better. So unless you have EXTREMELY good discipline with your trigger inputs, the guy on PS5 will always be faster than you. The load times are unbearable on the PS4 with this game, it would be extremely frustrating. If my opinion is worth anything, just wait to get the game on PS5. Yes GT7 is fantastic! But by the time you get your PS5 it will be even better because of updates. As most of you know PD is working out some serious issues with the game right now anyways. What I would do personally if you just can’t wait, is buy the PS5 anniversary edition as it comes with a PS4 code with it and then you can get started now and you have the PS5 version when you’re ready. Just know that the game really is a MUCH better experience in the PS5
Even still today i play it on ps4 pro and it looks and plays awesome, not worth the upgrade for me as GT is all I really play. The only reason to upgrade would be VR but I cant convince myself to spend a grand to play GT in VR. Otherwise when playing you really dont feel there is anything missing or that could be better, except loading times which at most only seem to be around 30 seconds from memory and is really not an issue
I got the collectors edition for Ps5 and it came with the Ps4 digital download, so I can play it on my Ps4, and once I get a Ps5 I have the physical version.
If your willing to pay 100$ish. I just bought a WD Black external ssd for my PS4. My load times are insanely faster. (Longest load time is 15-20 sec now) And my regular load times are typically 5-10sec Even though the ps4 bottle necks the original Performance of that ssd on my ps4 slim, there is a huge improvement.

I have it on ps4, it plays and looks just fine. The loading times are no worse than any other large game on ps4. I haven't had any stutters. I am only a short way in the game so far, but I like it so.far.
Need a PC release, would be a big audience on Steam.
I don’t think that’s ever going to happen hombre. Always been a PlayStation exclusive. It is what it is. But you’re right it would get more attention. 🤷🏼♂️ this is how Sony sells consoles.
@@SimRacingVeteran they are starting to port over ps exclusives to steam
no bro we console players dont want to go head to head online with 120+ftps compared to our 60ftp. PC gaming is not fair online as it depends on how much money you have to buy the best processor, graphic card, ram etc.
@@artificialidiocy1665 no lol
@@artificialidiocy1665 they could limit online to 60fps, they already have DRM for online making the game unplayable offline even in sp so i dont see the probelm.
Love the video, all straight to the point no bullshit and answered all questions perfectly. Keep up the good work!
Been thinking about buying this game, I have a ps4, but was afraid it wouldn’t look great. Honestly it’s still good from what I see here. I imagine the loading time is more, it thats a given. I’m sold, I’ll still get it. Ive been wanting a good racing game that gets back to basics, and doesn’t feel overwhelmed with other side things. Looks awesome man
Unfortunately there are still the microtransactions and the excessive grind necessary to get what you want in GT7 in contrast to former GTs. But this still applies to both versions. Interestingly enough Sony "revealed" the microtransaction not right away, but after all mayor critics made their reviews. That's why the metacritic score and positive/negative ratio differs so much between critics and users .
Apart from the game itself, great video on the PS4 version.
I have a PS4 Pro and playing on my 49” super ultra wide monitor and I’m quite happy with the results playing GT7. I transitioned to PC a while back but Grand Turismo has given me a renewed excitement for PlayStation.
If you have some tech skills you can swap your PS4 HDD with a SSD and squeeze out some of that load time to improve it a bit. Did that to my PS4 pro and it did noticeably load games faster.
Thx so much! This video has answered most of my questions before i clicking the "Buy" button for PS4 version :)
Glad to hear! 🙌❤️
I got the PS4 Pro version and honestly at 1800p resolution, it looks and runs great, i went with the Series X as my next gen system, it's nice that i can still play some Sony exclusives that have received quality PS4 version such as Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7 and i'm sure the new God of War will look great on PS4 as well.
YO THAT’S THE VIDEO I WANTED TO WATCH, you guys are awesome
thats great to hear since a ps5 here in brazil is abnormal expensive.
Base PS4 Slim paired with an M Classic HDMI Gaming Cable...Perfection!
I am playing on my PS4 Pro and PS5. Either version is fine, but I am surprised at how much I enjoy playing on PS5 with the dual sense controller. The haptic feedback is amazing, better than any other racing game I have played on console with a controller. On PS4 Pro, I can play with my Accuforce wheel and HE pedals using the GIMX software, which is great, but the graphics are a clear step down, plus the PS4 version has stutter at times.
The Dualsense controller is the main reason I want a ps5.
@@pwcorgi2000 Good reason, its a game changer, as is the super fast NVMe drive. Load times are almost non-existent.
After using a wheel in all of my racing games, I wouldn't even consider controller
@@drewywgx924 I know, right? That was my bias until recently. For more arcadey racing games like Forza Horizon 5, GRID Legends and GT7, I prefer the controller because I can just chill on my couch and relax. That being said, for sims like iRacing I can only play with a wheel and pedal set in VR using my HP Reverb G2.
@@lawyer4ever GT7 is a simcade.
Thanks for the comparison video, exactly what I was looking for :) Worth nothing that upgrading to an SSD in a PS4 is very simple to do and worth the effort.
Glad you liked it! Yeah, upgrading to a SSD is a huge step!
I upgraded my ps4 to a SSD as well about a year ago.

I would recommend fitting the PS4 pro with an SSD. Updates are much quicker as they don't have to go through the copying phase, and GT7's loading times drop from about 40 seconds to around 17 seconds.
I bought the 25th anniversary edition, so i got the ps4 and ps5 version. I am playing it on the ps4 currently runs good. 1080p. Still waiting for the ps5 to be availeble again.
Dsw
I've been a bit spoiled when it comes to experiencing great graphics. I have a great gaming PC with Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon 5, and other games on all maxed out settings on 1440p.
Playing GT4 on the PS4, I definitely notice the downgrade. However, if you have a PS4 already, GT7 is worth the buy!
Loading times and the PS5 controller are the only major plus sides for me on PS5. Loading times are actually pretty long in my opinion, who has gotten accustomed to SSD speeds. Over all GT7 is definitely a great buy for PS4
Great and very informative video! Big thanks for that! And hatts off for your superb and very talented way to explain things, amazing stuff and on the top of it you are even funny! 😉👍😃
Much appreciated! ❤️
Welp, no sense of getting a PS5 just to play GT7. I still have a PS4 Slim so l only need a SSD external HD upgrade to fully enjoy GT7.
Did I heard that right @2:57: 1080p, 60fps, buttery smooth on PS4? Considering the hardware from 2013, it's a job well done!
I just bought a second hand PS4 Pro because the 5 is way overprised at the moment (750/900 euro's in the Netherlands. The PS4 pro is good enough to play this game
Yeah I’m definitely happy with GT7 on PS4 Pro.
I bought it 30min ago, when i saw the video title i was like: i might have made a terrible decision 🤔
And what is your opinion after watching our video? 👀
@@OverTake_gg I started praying for faster internet 🙏
@2020 Toyota GR Supra 🙏🙏
polyphony have been known to do a decent job squeezing as much performance as possible from last gen consoles, defo picking this up
For real, GT4 on PS2 was mind blowing.
#1 there is content missing. The proper campaign is missing replaced with those cafe menus. The campaign mode is better in GT Sport. I have both games on my PS 4
#3 I had GT7 on a PS4 slim but upgraded to a PS4 Pro. There was some stutter with the PS4 Slim and slightly less stutter with my PS4 Pro but PD has fixed the stutter in the last few patches.
#5 I've used the same SSD in the PS4 slim as I have in my PS4 Pro. There's a big difference in loading times. The PS5 Pro loads much faster due to its SATA III connection. The PS4 Slim is still stuck with SATA II.
Have a standard 500gb PS4 & GT7 is awesome ❗ definitely my favorite racing game so far just wish that the campaign portion of the game was tied to my console instead of Polyphony's servers ( online only ) even if you purchase the two disc physical copy.... #PS4 #GT7 #logitechG29
Hey loved your vid, I, subbing you! Thanks for this review, it answered things better than other videos I saw. Thanks again
Thank you, glad to hear! 🙏
You get more game credits for the ps4 version
Experiencing the loading time without fast forwarding the video would be a more realistic feeling
My PS4 wants to set off while playing this , game looks phenomenal play great only thing stopping me calling this a 10/10 is loading times man alive it’s annoying
If i want GT7 now i would need to play on PS4. PS5 is out of reach, not available. But thankes for review, now i know PS4 version is decent enough to be played.
I have this on ps4 and been playing it for a little now I'm on like the menu book 33 now but I haven't played a ps5 yet and honestly I think this game looks insane for what it is on ps4 and a 55in normal TV. But yeah I've been thinking about buying a ps5 and gt7 with a little simulator setup. I really enjoy this game I think it's insanely realistic compared to the other racing games on ps4
A very important thing for PS4 Pro owners, don't forget to enable multi-sampling in the console's options , the results are stunning ! :V
From what I've seen, the PS4 looks good enough. Obviously not as good as PS5. Unlike Cyberpunk 2077 they don't recommend you get PS4. To wait until you get a PS5 console.
I’ve experienced some frame drops on the OG PS4 but other than that I am loving it. I got the 25th Anniversary so I will have it for PS5 when the time comes.
is the 25th anniversary compatible for both ps4/ps5 ?
@@KnowerofThings The 25th came with ps5 disc and ps4 digital download.
@@ceeece thanks good to know that
How could ray tracing not be used besides replays, what a waste and it does make a big deal im not getting it for ps5 because that’s a feature I’m I’ll be missing
i prefer the lighting on PS4
I've been hesitating to buy GT7 PS4 version due to concerns you've reviewed.And now, it is clear to be that PS4 version is still worth under the circumstance that I don't have plan to buy the PS5 in the near future.
Thank you a lot!!! 🎉😊
I agree 100% !!! If you have not yet got a PS5 like me....why deprive yourself now. Enjoy ....btw, I like this dude...little guy in a big chair talking technical with a strong accent. He reminds me of Chekov from Star Trek
I'm not sure if Joe likes the comparison, but this is very funny 😂😂
Have both (PS4 first). They’re essentially identical except if you get within 1m of a 55” TV. Beyond that, no one could begin to tell which is which.
I wonder how well this aged after all the credits and MTX controversy that happened.
Thanks for this, I've been enjoying the ps4 version. Kinda sucks that there's a group of ps5 owners who resent the cross gen aspect of gt7. Anyone who's played modern pc games know that you can play the same game at low settings or pay through the nose to at ultra.
My issue with the cross-gen support in this case is not graphics, but rather gameplay. Simulators use a lot of CPU power to, well, simulate stuff. This is also true for GT, and unfortunately PS4's weak CPU do hold back the game for having an even more advanced physics engine, since the game has crossplay and that means the physics have to be shared between 2 consoles.
This is first time if I see your videos and this video will make me to subscribe you 👊
Glad to hear! 🙏❤️
I don't care about it I'm still enjoying GT7 In PS4 it's a fun game to play
The main reason I wanted to try Gt7 is because of the adaptive triggers.
I don't think there is any game beside Gt7 and Astro-bot that use so much of this new tech.
Otherwise neither the ps4 version of Gt7 or Gt-sport in general are not THAT different from the final ps5 version in terms of gameplay and graphics .
So please If you already bought a 500 bucks console to feel what's new at the table , just spend 10 more dollars and really enjoy .
Even the 4k resolution that was the main goal in gameplay not to be sacrificed , even the loading times that are almost not existent do make the game better .
Adaptive triggers in this game are so good that you won't even need a racing wheel if you don't wont to spend extra 200-300 bucks to take it to the next level.
have the old PS4 and the game is sweet on it.
What interests me the most is the reaction time. I mean, how fast the console detects that you moved the wheel to the left or pressed the breaks. That’s what’s gonna make my lap times. Will the ps5 with all the high graphics turned off detect my driver movements faster than the ps4 pro?
The loading times was the reason I stopped playing on my PS4. If and when I ever get a PS5 then I'll start playing it again.
I had it on the ps4 , then i upgraded it to the ps5 version. Honestly I cant notice any difference. Only on a side by side comparison
"should you get the ps4 version?"
You act like my broke ass has a choice here
We feel that 😂😅
The PS5 doesn't look that much different from the PS4.
I've got the ps5 and gt7 on it.. my friend has ps4 and he has gt7, so ive seen both, and ps5 version is better and with not only looks but loading times, and when your trying licences and reloading constantly go get that gold the time saved loading is much appreciated trust me... if you use controllers, the added emersion on ps5 is massive bonus, I use a wheel so that doesn't effect my gaming, but I did try the controller for a while to experience it, and it's just spot on. Graphics wise the ps4 version is squeezing all the last dregs of performance out of the system and it does a really great job, but the ps5 just says pass me my beer, I got this.. its that smooth and effortless especially in performance mode, and you really need a decent tv to get the full effect, I bought the 55" sony bravia that was suggested for ps5. Either way gt7 is pretty much a most own game for driving nuts, its setting the standard again.... at last.
@@mattmoo46 Awesome
I agree, why buy a PS5 (*IF* you can find one), when you can play the same exact game on your 2013 PS4. The same EXACT experience. Microtransactions, 800% increase in car prices, reduced race pay-outs, no offline single player gaming... the list goes on!
It s a lot beter than gt sport. Ps4 runs very good.
I literally bought my ps5 like it was drugs. Was phoned up and given a specific time to meet in a car park 😆
It looks good on PS4. But let's not get it twisted, it's way better on PS5 in 4K. My wife kicked me out of the main room of the house where my 4K TV is and made me go into a bedroom for a short time on a regular 1080p television. It was obvious how much different it was. Edges looked grainy. It was like I was back in 1996 on SNES playing Mario Kart.
When attempting to play GT7 on my PS4, instead of on the PS5, I finally found out what people mean about the noisy cooling system on the PS4. I have never, in all of my time owning the PS4, had a game that needed even 20% as much of the cooling as GT7 does. The console sounds like a fully loaded A380 attempting to take off into a 300mph headwind.
Otherwise, it is just the loading time that irritates. Although I found that I could actually complete S10 on the PS4 version because the car was easier to control. Or maybe it was just the fact it was attempt number 19235 that did it
This is what most mornings feel like
Having played both, the differences are minimal and I prefer the PS4's DualShock controller.
The real question is do you want to play a game with mechanics from the PS2 era? There are some bafflingly poor design choices in GT7. I enjoyed GRID Legends so much more
You prefering the PS4 controller it's just a lie your brain is telling yourself.
I bought the PS4 version even though I'm playing it on a PS5. I "upgraded" to the PS5 digital version for $10, but I find myself playing the PS4 version more. The PS5 upgrades are minimal in my opinion. I also measured how many watts the PS5 is pulling while running each version and the PS5 version used double the electricity! The air coming exhausting from the back of the PS5 while playing the PS5 version was warm and barely room temperature running the PS4 version. Also, the PS4 version has much shorter loading times on PS5 relative to how long they are played on a PS4 (although the PS5 version has almost no load time at all).
even if i wanted a ps5, they are too expensive, and not available anywhere. i have ps4 pro, and i have very few issues.
It's working perfectly fine on my PS4, been a great experience so far.
There's no migrating your save game. Your game is saved online. Even if you delete your save on your console it will start where you left the game. There's no way to start over without creating a new PSN account.
Which is dumb. I like to restart my games from time to time but when I've cleared GT7 I'm only left with online mode which I have no interest in.
Thank you for the info....
Nice review bro
Appreciate it! 🙏
Not bad, PS4 version is good enough for me tbh
When you said that the PS4 is nearly 9 years old... Man... Where the fuck did time go?
I love how gr7 looks on my ps4pro but even still I get frame rate drop during races
You’re actually wrong about many of the points you make in this video. Especially the ray tracing. Sure you don’t get ray tracing in races, but most people who are taking their racing seriously or competitively are using the bumper or hood cam anyways. Now for what you missed. Not only do you get ray tracing in replays, but also the photo mode and menus as well which presents the cars much better when looking at them through the menus. And ESPECIALLY in photos mode. And much better race replay photos.
As for the dual sense, the trigger resist will make you a much better driver since you can feel braking pressure, ABS slip and control throttle input much better. So unless you have EXTREMELY good discipline with your trigger inputs, the guy on PS5 will always be faster than you.
The load times are unbearable on the PS4 with this game, it would be extremely frustrating.
If my opinion is worth anything, just wait to get the game on PS5. Yes GT7 is fantastic! But by the time you get your PS5 it will be even better because of updates. As most of you know PD is working out some serious issues with the game right now anyways. What I would do personally if you just can’t wait, is buy the PS5 anniversary edition as it comes with a PS4 code with it and then you can get started now and you have the PS5 version when you’re ready. Just know that the game really is a MUCH better experience in the PS5
It's actually just one question by definition.
Whoever complains about loading times has obviously never played Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex on the PS2.
Wow,
Ps4 version is looking good
Most important question. Do I want to hear the jet plane even longer. No, thanks!
Even still today i play it on ps4 pro and it looks and plays awesome, not worth the upgrade for me as GT is all I really play. The only reason to upgrade would be VR but I cant convince myself to spend a grand to play GT in VR. Otherwise when playing you really dont feel there is anything missing or that could be better, except loading times which at most only seem to be around 30 seconds from memory and is really not an issue
I got the collectors edition for Ps5 and it came with the Ps4 digital download, so I can play it on my Ps4, and once I get a Ps5 I have the physical version.
Cheers pal 🖐
If your willing to pay 100$ish. I just bought a WD Black external ssd for my PS4.
My load times are insanely faster. (Longest load time is 15-20 sec now)
And my regular load times are typically 5-10sec
Even though the ps4 bottle necks the original Performance of that ssd on my ps4 slim, there is a huge improvement.
