Get in the Cafe, Shinji

Online racing in GT7 is the most fun ive had in gaming in 30 years of gaming, I love it, see you on the track.

I'm almost 50 and have been Sim racing for a long time. It all started with a madcatz on a PS1 then evolved into PC racing with live for speed onto Rfactor, iRacing and AC/ACC. But I always had a console and a PC. I currently have two rigs one with a DD1 podium for PS5 and one with a simucube v2 sport for PC. Since PSVR2 I haven't turned my PC on (although I neeed to try the ACC patch) I love gt7 and VR they just nailed the feel of VR, be it in sport or ai I'm just driving VR on gt7. On a side note I always play multiplatform games like the F1 series on ps5, just because it's easy. Download, plug in wheel and go, no fluffing around with drivers and crap.

GT7 is the best all round car game, period. Sure it has weaknesses, but so do AC, ACC, iRacing,etc.

Nice review, got to try this in VR though, it really is a case of no going back once you have. Even the VR show rooms are crazy detailed,to even every cable tie. its not something words or a video in KZfaq can show until you are in there.

Great review, I agree on most points, and having more games in the sim market to compete and innovate amongst each other is always great. I'm also keen for Assetto Corsa 2 when it comes out!

I feel like GT7 was pitiful as a single player experience. The way it starts you on the ‘Menus’ initially feels like a tutorial/side mission but no😞 That’s the game

i really really enjoy gt7 and it's been my most played game since launch. I'm about to finish building my sim rig but using a controller on gt7 is the best controller racing experience ever. the ps5 controller makes a world of difference. I think they will support this game for a while so I'm looking forward to more cars and tracks every month for a long time.

Thnx for the vid,,but i think you should also mention the VR. Maybe gt7 isnt as good as real sims,but the vr make it so freaking awsome i dont to play “flat screened” racing titles anymore. Its realy realy good

It took more than one year but I finally found a review that talked about GT7's excellent lighting system ....great job with the review, Agree with all the points, negatives as well as positives...Hopefully they will continue to support this game at least till GT8 gets announced

Great review. I was introduced to simracing via Sport, three years ago, aged 59, so my experiences are not the same as yours! I've since bought a rig, a direct drive wheel and loadcells, and most recently a VR2 headset. The VR2 is the single best investment I've had (if I don't count buying my first G29 wheel). The immersion, for me, goes beyond the advances I felt from G29 to Fanatec DD. I'm convinced that if a flatscreen GT7 player tried it out they would go and buy one.

Great review! Pls make more of these, especially physics comparison's.

Great video. Too many sim racers dismiss gt , it’s seems to be a cult pc thing to just hate on it without even trying it. It’s not perfect but nothing is.

imagine if the cafe, was actually a open meeting place for random players, and a place were you could actually order coffee and cake, served by wolt lol

Well put together review. The online requirement is a complete deal breaker for me, and the head physics in the cockpit view are perplexing.

I think GT7 requires little realism factors like these pits, rolling starts, probably a more serious damage model (I know heavy requires pit to fix like most sims out there), proper camera options... otherwise handling I think is excellent.

Great review, like deployed. To get rid of that annoying sportsmanship video in Sport, just let it play once in its entirety rather than close it. Once it’s been watched it won’t return. Have to add that PSVR is a game changer on this. I’m NOT a serious racing game fan, I like Mario Kart. But GT in VR has me hooked and changed my gaming life. Im now almost 300 hours in since PSVR2 launch, have invested in a basic wheel pedals rig, but now looking to get a DD wheel and load cell kit. I’ve never been invested so much in a game to actually invest big money in the experience. But PSVR has done that - yes the VR and the wheel set up costs a hefty amount but for me, nothing has matched that feeling of immersion - I’m not a racer but I FEEL like a racer, VR makes that

Perhaps one day they will port it to PC. I would really like to play it on there, and have a game that's closer to being a simulator with better controller support. AMS2 is ok, but I'm sure GT7 beats it.

You are really making such a big deal about the loading times on PS4 and the café being redundant, but in reality it is really not a problem at all. Café is a very nice addition.

I still can't get the fanatec dd1 to feel remotely decent which is a shame

For me is the best gran turismo title ever

Alphard is the best car. Unironically it drives amazingly.

I mainly play pc simracing games so I didnt have any play station console at all, but because Gt4 was my first love as a child, i went out and bought a ps4 for $200 plus Gt7 for $60. I couldnt be happier enjoying this game from time to time, if you dont take it too seriously and just pick it up to have fun, as a car lover im sure you will.

GT7 makes me want to go play GT5 again. I value the single player modes of GT games.

is the splitscreen mode still locked begind progression?

Would you believe i'm still playing Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec on pc lol...I've played all the others too, Automobilista 2, I Racing, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars etc but Gran Turismo is what my heart loves...I dont have a Ps5 but may have too consider buying one just to play GT7.... Just out of curiosity, is GT7 coming to PC anytime soon?..

do the cars that never had traction control been fixed cars from the 60s have tcs wtf

Main thing missing from GT7 is VR!

I remember first playing the first Gran Turismo, loving the car shine (totally new, back then), but hating the little 'bops' (at over 100 m.p.h.) instead of whacking great juicy crashes.

good one. a long term review of what it actualy is. i dont understand why all the backlash for 7. everyone knew what they were into... I take it for what it is. best gateway for simracing on console, and one of the ways for a car nerd to nerd out during coffee. i just wish that instead of forcing itself into gt3 gt4 races they could for example provide more gt300/500 content. or at least a bit more than they allready did. its just that the cars were to spread out (year wise) and it was a bit impossible to drive a whole season of it.

The cars and driving are excellent, but they forgot its a video game.

is it worth picking up a ps5 for?

I would say the visual customazion is better in gt7 campared to fh5 or fm7, but less with drivetrain swaps etc

This video covers a lot of areas of the game, but one of the most important is missing: what about the sound? The sound in any previous Gran Turismo edition killed the whole experience and I expected to learn how GT7 sounds in this video. Maybe you can do a follow up video just to talk about and "show" some engine sounds across different cars of the game. Apart from that it's a useful reviews so thanks for that.

Music Rally is the Arcade part of GT7

There is a real problem with ffb for people who don't have a dd wheel it seems to be a very numb experience I have tried everything sumhow it seems to stop the driver panel from affecting the game

Nailed it!

also GT is the only racing game that renders headlights realisticaly (other than modded AC) and its only one of the many details that make GT cars feel way more real than the competitors

I bought a PS5 for GT7, and I have to say that it's one of the worst video game purchases that I've made in years. The fact the single player content is locked behind online DRM is horrible. I'm never buying another GT game ever again.

fantastic summary of your thoughts RC. its soul crushing for me to not be able to drive my IRL car in sim. forza 8 needs to hurry the fuck up!

On entering sport mode let the sportsmanship video play till the end,then it will never appear again

Its sure is good racing game, just want to see a more in drott career mode, and i waiting the arrival of buayable swaps and s parts

400 hrs in so far. Probably 200 hrs just drifting with the community. Best drift sim on ps5

apparently, there is a light of hope for a Pc release of GT7

I found it nearly unplayable on my ps4 pro sadly.

Watch the sportsmanship video all the way through and it won’t play again.

Through review 5⭐s

U forgot VR and 120hz VRR-ALLM and finally ps5 joystick is sick with accelerometer!!! There is no need to buy entry level wheel!

The best ! 😉

I pre-ordered GT7, I got an upgraded PS5, and I also bought a PSVR2 just for GT7. A year later and I wish I upgraded my computer to play Iracing or ACC in vr because GT7 is terrible. It's like a gold-plated turd, looks good but is mostly shit.

Loading time on PS5 too long ? 😂 Hurry man !

People are really disgusting... complaining about everything in there life... People forget how grateful we were with PS1 and the 1 hour loading time for any game and we were thankful. Now day's kid's complain because the game takes 4-5 seconds to load up... all of ya needed more beating up in your younger year's and be thought how to play with 2 sticks outside...

Gt7 is boring and clumsy. I'm a GT fanboy since the first one on the ps1. I defended GT7 but I'm done. They fucked up the franchise. I hope they fix it. I'm moving to AC and PC SIM racing

Am I the only person that doesn't really like the café 😅. It gets quite boring. Love the gt videos though.

It’s ok just needs more content.

8:40 GT7 is not the best looking game in 2023... But uniformity, details makes this a Petrolhead p0rn

Is the AI any good? The AI in older gt is crap, the main reason I dont like gt very much. I know there's online, but I dont want to play online. The game can have the most beautiful graphics ever, but if the AI is bad it's worthless for me. That's why I keep playing older racing games like Gtr 2.

if only it retains the GT4-esque career structure and event variety, and less reliance on online servers for offline features, then it'll be the perfect GT for me. Still, if I can get it at $29.99 or less for the PS5 version I can't complain much

Look as a sim racer GT7 is a great game but as a Gran Turismo game its not that good.

Unless you're an online player, don't bother. No campaign. Major lack of events and tracks

Load times? Not for me, perhaps your internet is slow? I have a Gigabit through a fiber optic line which I thought everyone had, since I live in Ukraine I thought we were behind everyone else. Apparently not. Load times for me are almost imperceptible. My issue with GT 7 is the useless menu book system and the fact you had to progress through them to unlock many things. Unlike the License system which used to be almost necessary to progress, now it is just something to do. The expensive car dealership is useless as almost all the cars are not only expensive but not really useable in game.

e´~

It's really not

Raytracing feels overrated here. Too heavy for gameplay.

For me it's crap ,designed purposely for you to throw money at it .I prefer Forza to be honest with you.gt7 just doesn't seem right to me

I rather play mariokart 64 over this trash

Get buy forza Motorsport 7 instead. Gt7 online killed the franchise

It's not its awful. Its very unrealistic and the cars slide around everywhere like they're not attached to the ground. Really bad game that has fooled so many into thinking it's a good racing game.

No! The single player and the AI involved makes this game a shambolic and 'dodgems'-like racer. Anyone worth their salt will know that the AI is an absolute insult to the player, in this game! It's made even more apparent when racing the Super Formula cars. Clean Race bonus? No chance! Not when the AI is constantly tagging your back end, driving into you and basically hampering and impeding your progress in the race. I have put in 1012hrs in this game and l can literally see the nuts and bolts of it's workings. You can be sure also, that Sony and PD are still safeguarding it's micro-transactions...which has basically ruined the whole fucking concept of this game! Think about it! Also, the content in this game is woefully coma-inducing. Tacked on cheap and nasty races coming from updates, it lacks proper championships and meaningful race events with cars that can be run to their full ability. Where are the GT3 Championships utilising all tracks, where are the Super Formula Championships utilising all tracks, where are the Gr.1 Championships etc. PD are lazy! They cannot be bothered with fixing the AI and dialling out it's awful behaviour...you think they scripted it's behaviour by accident? Think again! For a 25th Anniversary game it doesn't even come close to being celebrated in any way that is meaningful. One year on and the game is still looking and feeling like a dead fucking horse, that is being whipped with a tissue! The game is a scam!
