I remember summer of 98’ I happened to pick up the original with money I made mowing lawns. I couldn’t put the game down and was hooked. I did the same with GT2. I got burnt out by the end of GT 4 so GT7 will be a nice re entry point for me.
Spot on, If you haven't been gullible enough (like me) to keep buying GT year after year, nothing really happened between GT4 and GT Sport except graphical updates, extremely modest car roster additions, and the GT Academy stuff which was pointless for 99.9999% of players and a poor substitute for a well designed and fleshed out online racing mode. The online racing lobby architecture/design for these games is absolutely terrible. Racing against AI gets old very fast as it doesn't take more than 2 races to figure out the pattern of behavior. There is literally no excuse fo rnot winning every single AI race you are in unless you decide to take on racecars in a VW bus. "BUT BUT BUT BUT they said the AI is SOO SMART now!!!" Yeah, they have said that every single release starting with GT4. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 5 times, shame on me.
Same here, except Forza Motorsport is what finished GT for me. I rented GT 4 and played it non stop. Returned it, some time after found the original Forza and bought it. I then ordered GT 4 off eBay and it sat in the packaging for months before I even opened it.
Played it most of today, game is amazing. Already had some pretty memorable moments. I managed to flip a 1968 fiat 500. Also had some tense races in the tokyo highways. That map is so narrow and you go so fast through those tunnels it genuinely made me scared I was going to crash every time. The sense of speed in this game is way better than past games.
I bought the game praying it would be great… it’s absolutely outstanding. Nothing on life is perfect, but games should be about immersion, visual prowess, audio genius and GT7 delivers! I am hooked.
Yea me to mate, ive always been one for rallys games, and after buying GT sport on the cheap a couple of weeks ago, i didn't hesitate in following up with 7, totally hooked 👍
I feel like watching it in videos simply won’t do it justice. The part I’m most looking forward to is the dynamic weather. The way it’s being described sounds mental and unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a racing game on a console.
Imagine being asked to pay $70 for a game where an internet connections is constantly required, even for offline, single player modes. Add extremely greedy microtransactions to the mix, with cars going up to $60 real dollars.

It just shows accessibility that everyone can drive a car in the game without worrying about weight-shifting or oversteering or finding brake points or finding the proper time to attack - just plop the game in, get a controller/wheel, and start driving.
It takes a bit of guidance on how the progress (unlocking circuits) works initially but once you realize that the YELLOW ICON is your guide and that 'the Cafe ' is the hub that you return to to get you next objectives then it'll come together. The Tuning Shop is initially locked but is simple to use. It's an incredible game.
The Sun glinting off the cars as they go around the tracks is one of the most realistic interpretations of this gaming has ever seen. It's a shame ray tracing isn't available in racing modes, but the game looks amazing even without it. Such a great last year for racing games. We got Forza Horizon 5, GT7, hell even Grid Legends.
@@comdrive3865 A dumpster fire? And why is that? And the Sun glint might have been in GT Sport but it looks way better in GT7 and not to mention on PS5 the whole package has a better overall look. I mean it looks great on PS4 of course still.
Grid Legends was briefly an enjoyable ride but not something I'd want to really sink my teeth into like GT7 or Forza Motorsport. The latter two have convinced me to shell out $699 for a GT DD Pro Wheel. But even without a wheel, GT7 has spoiled nearly every other console racer for me -- The gyro control option makes racing by analog stick feel so sluggish and inaccurate by comparison.
I knew this game was going to be good but glad to see the positive reception across the board. I know a lot of people like them but I'll be turning off the racing line and braking aids immediately as they seem a but obnoxious and take me out of the game. Regardless tho I can't wait for this Friday!
Exactly, racing line takes A LOT away from the drive experience. Of course it is ok to use it until you're familiar with a track. No racing line gives you a very clear view of the road and surface which makes the whole experience better.
Driving any racing game I disable all aids except for abs wich will be low and because real cars have abs , racingline does more damage than it actually helps. One of the ways to be faster is to learn the track with no racing line, racing line just distracts you from what you should be actually looking for, breaking pionts and apex and where you are on the track. That way you can decide where to overtake and not just ram or dive bomb. Sure no traction control can be tricky on some cars mainly rear wheel but that's part of getting good and controlling more. On gt sport I was so much faster than alot of racers because I didn't have any racing aids on and using manual gears is the best in everyway you can control a corner well if you're in the right gear, rotate the car faster and control any over/understeer but if you're in the right gear on the right line hitting the apex at the right piont you won't have to worry about steering..... See you boys on track 🤙
The difference and best reason they're there is depth perception in a game vs real life just isn't the same when you're approaching a corner at 100mph.

Gran Turismo 1 and 2 are some of my favorite racing games of all time. I can still remember playing the first game as a rental on the ps1 I bought from a friend at school for 60 bucks in the 8th grade. I was hooked and played it regularly for several months. Then the amazing PS2 Gran Turismo came out and me and an old friend played it head to head constantly almost every weekend also for several months. So many awesome replays and just an overall amazing experience as two young overly energized teenagers. It made me love cars and as a 38 year old man now with a Dodge Challenger, I still love cars and cant wait to relive my Junior High and early High School days with this game. Downloading right now on PS5. Awesome to see this franchise still thriving and creating new fans!
they need to make the main campaign Off-line, the whole games as a service model is only going to kill the game over time. plus once servers go down many years later, you won't even be able to play it.

@Salt Maker lol yea driveclub has better graphics than forza 5 as well thats a great game, differnec is, gt7 has so much more and watching on youtube how can you tell cos graphics are not actual 4k on yt, lol numpty
@@daysgone2997 Because the ps4 still has an extremely large gap in its player base compared to the ps5. I really wish they could just focus on pushing the new hardware instead of building for the least powerful system and then scaling up for current gen.
Microtransactions, game is severely gimped without online connection - you can play a simple race and thats it. Skybox and weather is great but looks like an upscaled low res texture, very blurry.
The sound in the old Gran Turismo games was dominated by the transmission, after upgrading to straight cut gears. That was very realistic, but less enjoyable. It’s also why all cars ended up sounding the same.
I literally can't beleive the wealth of games that have been released in the last couple months.... I will be playing these games until summer I am so behind. I picked up Horizon, Elden Ring and Dying light 2 and now Gran Turismo? HOLY CRAP!
@@toma3447 Why is there always some weird console war dude trying to bring up something that was never even mentioned in the original comment? lmao Edit: literally half the games he mentioned are on both consoles 😂
@@GrimDrive You have to realize that gaming attracts a younger audience and as one group ages/matures a new one comes in ripe with their ignorance. so the stuff you saw 10-20 years ago, you will see today, and in 10-20 years from now it will be the same arguments and nonsense.
@Tesla Adverts I have a hard time believing that anyone with a ps5 who is about to shell out 70 on a game doesn't have internet or a phone especially if they on TH-cam bitching about it. Its 2022
Honestly gamingbolt, you are the only mainstream critic I trust anymore. You gave HFW a 10/10, a score that the game truly deserves. Simply breathtaking. Now this. Thankyou!
He actually got the scores of HFW vs Elden Ring right. It’s hard for me to believe someone can play both and not see how HFW is a full gen ahead. Elden Ring is by far the most unfairly scored game to date.
@@UniversalStand except they are completely different games on almost every level. From soft has its own art style as well and isn't pushing graphics first. Also FW is an exclusive and is going to run and look better
@@jackkenny4194 I own both so I can speak from direct experience. I’m sorry but it’s not even remotely close and this is beyond only graphics. It’s about sound, polish, detail, controls..everything. HFW is a much better game and dare I say even more fun. You wouldn’t know unless you played both.
Great review, I was already sold on this game being a hard cord GT fan since the first game on the PSOne. You made excellent points throughout the review.
Care to do an update since the game you glowingly reviewed is not the game consumers are getting? I would think you'd be pissed about being used to commit a fraud. I know I would be.
@@joesipr Ha, opposite for me, I really, really want to get around to Forbidden West but I've just been addicted to Elden Ring, playing it pretty much every spare moment I have...
I'm curious to know how online lobbys are going to be, hopefully they bring back the ability for in game chat via microphone like they had in gt5, always liked to talk to other people in the lobbies, ill be playing the campaign and probably stay away from sport mode. Get money and collect cars and tune all of them to perfection. Oh and please don't gift me the same car 7 times please
I just hope we can have lobbys using our own tunning. In GT6 i used to play with a bunch of ppl from a facebook group and we select a category we would be racing, like only '70 normal cars in x track. Then everyone select pick a car and start researching their own tunning to when the meet up occur (damn you Lancia Stratos). The best part was that there was a guy who is a photograph and after the races he always put in our fb group superb images off our cars.
Honestly..... I just wanna hop online, drag race at Indy, talk cars in mic chat, cruise, and hold car meets at Tokyo. I believe this will deliver on all counts
"GT Sports was an online only title"...well, so is GT7!!! The fact that you need an internet connection JUST to be able to save your progress, that's a Live Service game for you!!
This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Just putting it out there, I was always a Gran Turismo fan back in the day but wasn't sure about this one, but after watching your review, makes me want to purchase immediately. Good job 👍
Enjoy it while it last! Game is doomed with DRM implementation so when the server goes down in a few years it's bye bye to ever experience this game again!
@@kcbetong3700 that won’t happen until a new title comes out, it will proably be live for 5 years always online is to stop people cheating and hackning the game, its proably there becouse of fia
Just bought this game last week and I’m not even a car guy but I love the cars in the game, it’s truly beautiful just wish I could free roam online with friends to cruise with
This looks and sounds like the greatest racing game made ever made. There's so much to play at the moment. 3 fantastic titles released in 3 weeks 🤷🏻♂️ 😏
It doesn’t really it’s just a progression of GT sport engine with similar limitations in quality. Tracks look plain, frame rate issues in the rain at times and the whole presentation has a cartoon like look to it that doesn’t quite work. Not blaming the PS5 but opting for multi gen results in obvious issues. However poor framerate on PS5 down to the 40’s on. 60 fps game without VRR to fall back on needs some serious adjustments to put it right. I like the paint aspect and I’m not blaming the artists at all but it just doesn’t work properly in this engine. There is a disconnect between the environments and the cars that makes it look weird. The environments look like a model set and the cars look closer to realistic so that discrepancy is just weird. The graphics also tend to flicker A bit much at times perhaps down to the use of TAA which doesn’t work all that well on all objects. It’s better than GT sport but it doesn’t look next level or anything like that. Maybe if they did what Digital Foundry suggested and added a lower res performance game play mode with raytracing it would look better. Hopefully it comes to PC sooner rather than later so they can clear up these issues. IGN gave it a 9 which seems closer to what it deserves as it’s certainly not 10 as there are just too many flaws to the presentation from low res reflections in the car to half rate reflections from cockpit mode it’s all just a bit too distracting.
My first GT game was GT2. Finally got my PS5 this weekend and all I can say is GT7 blows me away. The GT series has always been more than a racing game, it's about the culture, passion, and history of cars. The visuals are amazing, the track selection is great, and I love that they updated the driving physics to make it more true-to-life even if it makes the cars more difficult to drive. 10/10
Nothing says "One of the greatest racing simulation games of all time" like using a gamepad with chase cam 90% of the time and praising a feature like the café. Obviously that's what a motorsport simulation is all about.
I really love how this guy is misleading the people to believe that you don't need an internet connection to enjoy its "single player" components, like GT Cafe or the Campaign itself....
Can you guys please update your review to include the game AS IT CURRENTLY IS? You guy reviewed the version that let you play offline and didn’t have these insane microtransactions. You should also update your online posted score as well, if you feel it should change.
You can just say it looks fun, we dont care what console you stroke off to. If you were a fan of games in general you would just play everything you can
@@Yusei255 what I’m saying lmao, being a car enthusiast and owning both Ps and PC gt7 is definitely not lacking in details with the amount of suspension, LSD, and transmission customization.
I’m interested but definitely going to buy a physical version when it goes on sale as I don’t give in to Sony’s 70 dollar Duel Sense tax. I wish the game wasn’t Online only but I’ll get over it.
The outside car view still looks like the track turns and moves around the car instead of the car driving around the track. Makes it look strange. Always been that way with Turismo IMO. Still, looks like one of their better iterations.
Any live service game with micro transactions and required on-line connection should automatically have points deducted from a perfect score. You fail GamingBolt.
In this game, cockpit view has the best experience. Totally changes the way you feel the game or win it. I recommend increasing depth to max and set the wobble as to what best suits you. Chase camera is awful and has no speed of sense. But the first person view has alot of thrill which chase view doesn't. This is the real simulator and it isn't meant for chase view.
I’m personally tired of online only or online needed games. Money racket to make a great game and then force people into the next game.. plus when they don’t have mods the game never last anyway as the years go by..
I played GT 1 and 2 somewhat but it was GT3 that made me fall in love with the series. I played that game so much it wasn’t healthy lol. Then GT4 for some reason I really didn’t get into it and didn’t play it at all but then again I played GT5 way too much lol and completely skipped GT6 so I’m kinda excited for GT7
I've had the same experience. 1 & 2 were eye openers but 3 was cream of the crop. I liked 4 because it dove into the history of automobiles but nothing has kept an unhealthy habit since 3 until now. My only gripe is I wanted some badass legendary edition beings it's the 15th anniversary. I would of spent 120 without a thought
Why does this game feel super biased? It seems like the Performance Points are really heavy on American cars but a lot more lenient on Japanese cars ? Build an American 2018 Camaro SS for a 700 performance class and build a new Nissan Z. The Z is lighter with over 200 HP more. How is that fair? And there are a lot of examples like that.
Why lie about the ai? The game is good, but the ai is potato-level. They DONT defend their position, as your script says. In fact, they are the same rolling-chicanes that have become a meme amongst series veterans. The shift away from actually DRIVING to collecting/photo mode is also a disappointing one (at least, in my opion). The series title of 'the real driving simulator' is looking to before hot air with each release.
@@marnov.dmerwe8904 I remember there being like a 24 minute race for the 24 hours of Le Mans. I think there may have been a race that took you an hour, but that was it.
It's great, but always online means whenever Sony decide to switch off the servers you won't own any of it (including Career Mode). Klaus Schwab approves!
They can update it to work offline and its happened before. At some point when servers close, which by then we will be playing 8 or 9 on PS6 lol, they will update it to work offline.
@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER uhh, GT Sport? You can play all campaign, arcade and mostly everything except multiplayer offline. Why are so many people so short sighted? It literally happened on THE LAST VERSION.

From turbo outrun (first game I ever played), to this! Crazy how much games have progressed over the decades
they need to make the main campaign Off-line, the whole games as a service model is only going to kill the game over time.
plus once servers go down many years later, you won't even be able to play it.
man i still hate how stiff the third person camera is. No sense of speed and it looks like it is clued in the same place all the time

By far the best narrated and written review of GT7. Didnt expected the game to be that good.

I expected a 10/10 i mean I'm a proper Xbox guy through and through, but after the State of Play I set up stock alerts for ps5 and purchased my PS5 within a week.

@@smokeemifyagotem8851 lol compared to what? I'll be amazed to get a decent reply
i would give this game 11 just for its graphics, it just makes my jaw drop every clip i see, cant wait to play on my ps5.
this is not worthy to be a PS5 title… it should be called GT Sport 2 and released as a ps4 title.
@Salt Maker what's funny is how wrong you are.
@@528hrtz yea i thought the same for forza and halo, why dont companies make next gen titles lol
@Salt Maker lol yea driveclub has better graphics than forza 5 as well thats a great game, differnec is, gt7 has so much more and watching on youtube how can you tell cos graphics are not actual 4k on yt, lol numpty
@@daysgone2997 Because the ps4 still has an extremely large gap in its player base compared to the ps5. I really wish they could just focus on pushing the new hardware instead of building for the least powerful system and then scaling up for current gen.
I think this game is going to shock us all. We may not know it now, but we might just be looking at the greatest ever racing game.

How is it to drive? Still looks to have that GT floaty twitchy look In videos I've seen. That driving on glass feeling gone?
Microtransactions, game is severely gimped without online connection - you can play a simple race and thats it. Skybox and weather is great but looks like an upscaled low res texture, very blurry.
The sound in the old Gran Turismo games was dominated by the transmission, after upgrading to straight cut gears. That was very realistic, but less enjoyable. It’s also why all cars ended up sounding the same.
I literally can't beleive the wealth of games that have been released in the last couple months.... I will be playing these games until summer I am so behind. I picked up Horizon, Elden Ring and Dying light 2 and now Gran Turismo? HOLY CRAP!

is there no free roam ? Driving through different locations with nice view ls all I need to buy this game but I haven’t seen any videos like that
Coming from a xbox user n buying a ps5 this game is amazing if ur a true car guy youd support both, both have great ups n downs
please, what about 360 camera? will it be possible to look at your car 360?
Love this game. Hate the minimal rewards and high car prices tho
35yrs old, played every GT before Sport, because PC sim racing is more hardcore, imo. But what a time to be alive!
"Always online" just ruins this game. Offline mode would be appreciated.

Honestly gamingbolt, you are the only mainstream critic I trust anymore. You gave HFW a 10/10, a score that the game truly deserves. Simply breathtaking. Now this. Thankyou!
No love for ACG??
He actually got the scores of HFW vs Elden Ring right. It’s hard for me to believe someone can play both and not see how HFW is a full gen ahead. Elden Ring is by far the most unfairly scored game to date.
@@UniversalStand except they are completely different games on almost every level. From soft has its own art style as well and isn't pushing graphics first. Also FW is an exclusive and is going to run and look better
@@UniversalStand horizon yawn fest can’t compare to Elden ring tho
@@jackkenny4194 I own both so I can speak from direct experience. I’m sorry but it’s not even remotely close and this is beyond only graphics. It’s about sound, polish, detail, controls..everything. HFW is a much better game and dare I say even more fun. You wouldn’t know unless you played both.
Great review, I was already sold on this game being a hard cord GT fan since the first game on the PSOne. You made excellent points throughout the review.
Care to do an update since the game you glowingly reviewed is not the game consumers are getting? I would think you'd be pissed about being used to commit a fraud. I know I would be.
Is it going to be like other ones. Have to pass test to play?
The true beauty of this game is playing it on your huge 4KTV.
Why can't they make multi class racing like in IMSA with prototypes and gt cars in the same race?
Definitely buying this Friday
I wish they could just give us an exact copy of gran turismo 3, but with the graphics updated
Im still playing horizon forbidden west not even close to finishing it😭im still buying this masterpiece
same me 😂😂😂😂i have elden ring too but its hars to leave horizon 2 is addictive
Beat forbidden west a couple days ago really good game. Have you played Kena? That game is amazing! I loved it.
Same here man
@@joesipr Ha, opposite for me, I really, really want to get around to Forbidden West but I've just been addicted to Elden Ring, playing it pretty much every spare moment I have...
When does the sport mode/multiplayer open up on the map? I haven't got them yet
Are we able to look around the car with the chase camera? I felt that was the biggest let down in GT sport.
Did, the driven fell simular to gt4 or gt sport?
I'm curious to know how online lobbys are going to be, hopefully they bring back the ability for in game chat via microphone like they had in gt5, always liked to talk to other people in the lobbies, ill be playing the campaign and probably stay away from sport mode. Get money and collect cars and tune all of them to perfection. Oh and please don't gift me the same car 7 times please
I just hope we can have lobbys using our own tunning. In GT6 i used to play with a bunch of ppl from a facebook group and we select a category we would be racing, like only '70 normal cars in x track.
Then everyone select pick a car and start researching their own tunning to when the meet up occur (damn you Lancia Stratos).
The best part was that there was a guy who is a photograph and after the races he always put in our fb group superb images off our cars.
How different will it be between ps5 and ps4??
Honestly..... I just wanna hop online, drag race at Indy, talk cars in mic chat, cruise, and hold car meets at Tokyo. I believe this will deliver on all counts
We should play when it comes out? I’m down for that
@@rayansn18 my PSN is Stone_Drip_Don and I'll see you on the grid my guy!

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Just putting it out there, I was always a Gran Turismo fan back in the day but wasn't sure about this one, but after watching your review, makes me want to purchase immediately. Good job 👍
Give it some time before purchase. If you look up the more recent reviews this game has taken a nose dive. Hopefully they will fix it.
Awesome review. Just one thing! Are you spocks brother or a Vulcan 🖖
It looks like a mindblowing game for me too, will have blast with it this friday, can’t wait, the biggest hype i feel about any game the last 10 years

I remember being little and playing forza Motorsport 4 on the 360. Now I have a ps5 and I’m into cars and I’m itching to play a racing game
2 years ago I bought a ps2 just to play gt4. Love how gt7 brings a lot of content from easily my favorite and most memorable game of my childhood.
Does the sound of the car change if you change exhaust?
The less driving aids you use, the more you can master the game without it. The more fun you will have
I don't use any assists but I need the braking point area assist on. I'm bad at judging where to brake.
@@GeekRaj I use that too!
Just bought this game last week and I’m not even a car guy but I love the cars in the game, it’s truly beautiful just wish I could free roam online with friends to cruise with
Test drive unlimited supposedly is being remade.
this is so far the most accurate review for this game
Watch super gts review then. I think its better to watch a Review from someone who actually know how to race cars even though this one is good too :)
Does it run on ultra wide resolutions?
This looks and sounds like the greatest racing game made ever made. There's so much to play at the moment. 3 fantastic titles released in 3 weeks 🤷🏻♂️ 😏
It looks and sounds the same as gt sport
Agree, Gran Turismo is extremely special. Grid Legends graphics are amazing too, the game is too much fun.
@@drewywgx924 GT Sport was great so that's not a bad thing. I just hope there isn't those ridiculous online trophies needing 300 odd wins 🤞🏻
@@Bombichote1 Is Grid Legends good then?
It doesn’t really it’s just a progression of GT sport engine with similar limitations in quality. Tracks look plain, frame rate issues in the rain at times and the whole presentation has a cartoon like look to it that doesn’t quite work. Not blaming the PS5 but opting for multi gen results in obvious issues. However poor framerate on PS5 down to the 40’s on. 60 fps game without VRR to fall back on needs some serious adjustments to put it right.
I like the paint aspect and I’m not blaming the artists at all but it just doesn’t work properly in this engine. There is a disconnect between the environments and the cars that makes it look weird. The environments look like a model set and the cars look closer to realistic so that discrepancy is just weird.
The graphics also tend to flicker A bit much at times perhaps down to the use of TAA which doesn’t work all that well on all objects. It’s better than GT sport but it doesn’t look next level or anything like that. Maybe if they did what Digital Foundry suggested and added a lower res performance game play mode with raytracing it would look better. Hopefully it comes to PC sooner rather than later so they can clear up these issues.
IGN gave it a 9 which seems closer to what it deserves as it’s certainly not 10 as there are just too many flaws to the presentation from low res reflections in the car to half rate reflections from cockpit mode it’s all just a bit too distracting.
My first GT game was GT2. Finally got my PS5 this weekend and all I can say is GT7 blows me away. The GT series has always been more than a racing game, it's about the culture, passion, and history of cars. The visuals are amazing, the track selection is great, and I love that they updated the driving physics to make it more true-to-life even if it makes the cars more difficult to drive. 10/10
This didn’t age well. And it’s only been two weeks.
This review should've been retracted after the first day update.
Why the car looks like os not moving when turning in third person???
And this absolutely mind-blowing game you won't be able to play when online stops. renting a game means rented prices.
GT Sport changed this, and no doubt they will do this with 7 as well.
Nothing says "One of the greatest racing simulation games of all time" like using a gamepad with chase cam 90% of the time and praising a feature like the café. Obviously that's what a motorsport simulation is all about.
Also, why is the racing line even turned on?
I really love how this guy is misleading the people to believe that you don't need an internet connection to enjoy its "single player" components, like GT Cafe or the Campaign itself....
Are there any endurance races yet?
Can you guys please update your review to include the game AS IT CURRENTLY IS?
You guy reviewed the version that let you play offline and didn’t have these insane microtransactions.
You should also update your online posted score as well, if you feel it should change.
Using your own footage now, I’m proud of you
I’m not going to lie, this game looks fun and very polished!
You can just say it looks fun, we dont care what console you stroke off to. If you were a fan of games in general you would just play everything you can
@@jasonmax5759 GT7 lacks Detail *LOL*

@@Yusei255 what I’m saying lmao, being a car enthusiast and owning both Ps and PC gt7 is definitely not lacking in details with the amount of suspension, LSD, and transmission customization.
Looks great, but is it me, or does the third person camera look too stiff?
Same issue with previous games
"One of the greatest racing simulations of all time" ... are you comparing this to Asseto Corsa and iRacing?
He is… He gave ACC a 6/10 & reviewed it using a controller .. Reviewed a proper sim with a controller…😂…. You can’t take this reviewer seriously…..
I’m interested but definitely going to buy a physical version when it goes on sale as I don’t give in to Sony’s 70 dollar Duel Sense tax. I wish the game wasn’t Online only but I’ll get over it.
The outside car view still looks like the track turns and moves around the car instead of the car driving around the track.
Makes it look strange.
Always been that way with Turismo IMO.
Still, looks like one of their better iterations.
Why do people say that something is “addicting” when the correct phrase is addictive?
Any live service game with micro transactions and required on-line connection should automatically have points deducted from a perfect score. You fail GamingBolt.
Word. Like WORD!
In this game, cockpit view has the best experience. Totally changes the way you feel the game or win it. I recommend increasing depth to max and set the wobble as to what best suits you. Chase camera is awful and has no speed of sense. But the first person view has alot of thrill which chase view doesn't. This is the real simulator and it isn't meant for chase view.
if internet goes out the game is useless and you can't play it
I’m personally tired of online only or online needed games. Money racket to make a great game and then force people into the next game.. plus when they don’t have mods the game never last anyway as the years go by..
My Internet hasn't gone out since the 90's.
Does anyone know what car exactly is the Porsche in the thumbnail?
The current thumbnail looks like a McLaren F1 97 or 94 with a large wing added and front lip
1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion.
I played GT 1 and 2 somewhat but it was GT3 that made me fall in love with the series. I played that game so much it wasn’t healthy lol. Then GT4 for some reason I really didn’t get into it and didn’t play it at all but then again I played GT5 way too much lol and completely skipped GT6 so I’m kinda excited for GT7
I think I was the same.. 3 was the peak and I barely played 4, it lost the fun
I've had the same experience. 1 & 2 were eye openers but 3 was cream of the crop. I liked 4 because it dove into the history of automobiles but nothing has kept an unhealthy habit since 3 until now. My only gripe is I wanted some badass legendary edition beings it's the 15th anniversary. I would of spent 120 without a thought
This was my exact GT journey. Wow
Why does this game feel super biased? It seems like the Performance Points are really heavy on American cars but a lot more lenient on Japanese cars ? Build an American 2018 Camaro SS for a 700 performance class and build a new Nissan Z. The Z is lighter with over 200 HP more. How is that fair? And there are a lot of examples like that.
The sun glare on the cars are too intense. In a bad way

@👉jacobthomson3👈 telegram Lol scam
Wait he said simulation? Did they improve the driving model or is it still simcade?
Why lie about the ai? The game is good, but the ai is potato-level. They DONT defend their position, as your script says. In fact, they are the same rolling-chicanes that have become a meme amongst series veterans.
The shift away from actually DRIVING to collecting/photo mode is also a disappointing one (at least, in my opion). The series title of 'the real driving simulator' is looking to before hot air with each release.
