i feel like a part time employee at a fast food place when it comes to credits in this game

It's a great game, but there are many things that still need improving. -The FFB still needs work as often, you can't even feel the rumble strips on the wheel. -Physics are a bit wonky, especially on RWD cars where tyres lose grip without any transition or progression. -Give us the ability to sell cars. It's my collection of cars, no one else's. So let me choose what cars I want to keep. At the very least, let me sell duplicates. -Sport mode needs BOP races.

I missed the management aspect from the earlier games a lot. You'd need to pick your cars carefully and upgrade them if and when needed. I remember the thrill finding a rare car i needed on the "second hand shop" for cheap. Hoping that they will add more career elements into the game in the future.

Glad to hear someone finally calling out GT for their camera issues that really have been a thing since GT4. Chase cam - too stiff, hood cam - too high, bumper cam - too retro, and I, as well, wish for a dash-only, no-wheel cockpit view.

As for the stiff 3rd person camera: You can try and play with the settings for that. Camera sensitivity on 1, Rotation offset on 0. Please try this out and make it known to the wider audience because it feels much better.

I hope Forza Motorsport 8 will be a true and unique competitor for this game. I look forward to when you do a video on that game when it comes out. I’ve never been into serious sim games like GT or Motorsport but I’m a Forza guy who likes to see how green the grass is on the other side from time to time :). Great video!

I also love the spinning wheel features, it really feels nice to get 5000cr everytime I open a ticket

We need to focus on the negatives so they get fixed and there are a lot of them!!!!

Honestly the best GT7 review video I’ve seen so far! I hope developers see this!

I never liked the camera in GT and I'm a GT fan since the first game. Is like the camera stuck to the car's ass at all times even when hit.

This is the one and only review I need to watch. Honest, realistic, fair and unsponsored. All those early reviews from the same big names are identical. They just praise the game's high notes, but ignoring the low ones. Enjoy the game Hoki, I don't own a PS5, but I'll watch your GT7 videos because they are fun to watch.

You know... Horizon may be a buggy mess sometimes, but the dev team is awesome. The fact that the game has no subscription, no MTX, only p2w with VIP 2x credits which you can just buy once and have forever, playable pretty much fully offline (Unless you're 100%-er). I still would love to get my hands on GT7 one day, but for now, without a PS5 to appriciate the graphics fully, GT Sport is close enough

Great review! Those career "races" are more like chases! That Sophy AI looks promising, hopefully the game won't be dead by the time it comes out 🥺

GT7 feels like the Pro Evolution Soccer of racing games. It can technically do everything Forza does, it just requires you to configure everything manually yourself rather than the game just actually having fun modes to begin with

one thing i really miss from GT6 is the ability to buy upgrades when you're already on the race track. no need to fumble out of menus if you need a part you can just go in the tuning section and get the part

Great and informative video!

Tbh very awesome review on what you have touched, My first Gran Turismo game was GT5 and I love this series in and out. With GT7 thought about the whole Microtransactions thing I haven't even thought of doing it once. Yes I know it's a option, but for a person who has gone back to the older GT games (GT2-GT7) I've never thought of using Microtransactions once. Maybe it depends on how you interpret them Ig.

Thanks for not pulling your punches. Idk man the campaign was something I was looking forward to. Microtransactions and Online only make it less desirable for me.

Rather upset that there is not a true campaign mode like in the older GTs. It's kind of silly that they give you options to wash the car, change oil, buy a new engine/body, give you an actual mileage for the car, and yet you'll likely spend next to no time on one specific car throughout your career. Definitely highly detailed, but still feels empty in a way. The cars still didn't feel like "mine". Gone are the days where I'd grind for credits to get a favorite car of mine. It could've even been a soft career progression, where at some midpoint you'd have some solid options to farm money if you wanted to put in the time. I suppose it's at least better than Forza's approach, where they'll just give you too much all at once. I guess since they decided to put in a pay-with-real-money for in-game money scheme, that making it so that giving away free cars would've lessened the outcry we would've had if we tried to complain about pay-to-win. I've also been playing on the PS4 Pro, since I'm not paying enough attention to grab a PS5 at any drop. The game looks good on the old hardware, loading times are meh. I just hate to miss out on the haptic feedback on the PS5. They should really move the GT series to PC as well, would love to play on there.

Really sad that something like GT7 still can't provide settings for wheel users to get the proper FOV and position in the cockpit.

I thought I was being obsessive but you're a day ahead in play time 🤣 back to the rig I keep getting distracted for HOURS making liveries and sharing them. Since I can't share tunes any with the same ease I want to co tribute to the community. I hope implementation of Sophy will make a huge improvement for offline racing.

Your set up must be the best. This the only review that shows the true graphics. Most excellent reviewer.

After you mentioned about the lack of race events variants. That does seems a huge problem comparing to previous GT titles. Races needed much more thoughts previously. Also getting new cars feel less satisfying/rewarding now. In GT5 I felt much emotionally attached to the car i got I hope they are doing a huge update to GT7.

Please make more GT7 content, your videos are very informative and have been a big help. Thanks

Great review. Really balanced and fair. Nicely done

Brilliant review

This is a very good review. I agree with your viewpoints, both good and bad. I Polyphony takes into consideration the sort of points you're making, because most of this stuff can be fixed reasonably easily, and make the game close to perfect.

The always online thing is what stopps me from buying - and that only around 10GB of game data is on the actual disc

Great review. Great game

Thanks for you take and video though. Great points.

That Castrol supra brought back soooo many GT3 nostalgia

It’s a very immersive and challenging experience, thumbs up from me. Navigating the menu is a bit annoying, I wish you could jump to any menu from anywhere instead of going to the world map. The driving experience is really good, even on controller. Tuning is satisfying and rewarding too, figuring out how to adjust your car to what you need is really fun. Playing on hard and a lot of races are very challenging. Great entry but some of the market mechanics are a bit questionable.

Thank you so much for this review! Now after weeks I am finally settled on NOT buying the game after all. I started playing GT4 approx. 3 months ago and was eyeing at GT7 since then. But since it does not have the traditional career mode, it is out. I will spend the money on an old tube tv to get a better experience on GT4 because the story with its events and the used car markets and all is what made me play it again. Simple, context-less racing is what EVERY race game out there is offering me right now. Be it Forza, The Crew, any GRID or now even GT.

The livery editor can use some improvements aswell, the option to use the games carbon textures on individual parts, ability to put decals on the front and front side windows, some cars have the option to paint the added aero parts separate from the body, some don't, make it available for every car, same goes for the roll cage.

I’ve been on the hunt for a PS5 for a few months in anticipation of this game, I didn’t realize there were micro transactions though, what a bummer.

I cant take the game seriously. why? because they didn't reveal or let reviewers know that it has micro transactions. They only revealed it once the game came out which absolutely isn't right. Forza Motorsport 7 was constantly being constantly criticized for non existant micro transactions

The inability to sell cars os horrible. When i see the prices of the used car market, i would love to be able to sell my car, price based of condition and mileage. You could sell cars in GT Sport, so what changed? Also, in GT Sport the kind of was micro transactions. You could buy a car for real money but i was like 0,5$ for a car, not 30$..

who else is watching this during the server shutdown currently ongoing

Great review agree with everything you said. I think the races are always chase led as the A.I even on hardest mode would be easy enough to be overtaken on the first or second lap. Should have an offline mode too as you can only play like 1% of the game without being online.

I always drive in first person and never have an issue. I only switch to hood or 3rd person if i have to set a really good time on some license test and the track is very wide and makes me waste a lot of if. Only then i put on 3rd person to see exactly which parts of the track I'm missing

Idk but you think but the Porsche in the thumbnail look hot 🔥

Good review

I am ready for GT7 in 2024.

Nice.

The clubman plus races are super fun!

I personally race in cockpit view, although that's mainly because there's about 30mm between my TV and the wheel base while the center of the screen is exactly level with my eyes. In most cars, my wheel lines up with the wheel on the screen so the immersion is awesome.

Also a wheel user and its Bumper cam for me, It even adds a better position for your track map and the other mini menus you can change are now centered at the bottom of your screen. Agreed that a race driver campaign would have been nice but they already missed the launch of the ps5 by over a year and I'm greedy and want the game asap so I'm more than happy with the Cafe system

Love the game, but would kill for a proper hood cam.

i love it, i can acknowledge that its not a game for everybody but for car lovers and gt fans, its a great entry.

I agree with everything he said but I am definitely enjoying the game it’s a lot of fun I actually wish there was more customizable things for your car though

Googles Grand Turismo 7. Let's see, *Video Games Chronicle:* _Gran Turismo 7 players fight unpopular nerf by ‘grinding currency without playing the game_ *KOTAKU:* _Gran Turismo 7 Players Use AFK Exploit To Farm Millions Like Capitalism Intended_ *arstechnica:* _Gran Turismo 7 players use PC Remote Play to automate the in-game grind_ *Playstationlifestyle:* _Gran Turismo 7 Players Using Credit-farming Script to Fight Unpopular Nerf_ *One of the best racing games of the decade, yeah rrrright* 😂

For real though. Brutal camera options

I always use the interior camera. I love the camera in ACC and you have two interior cams - one standard and one through the eyes of the driver while wearing helmet and that one is my favorite cause you can see the movement of the driver. I assume sim racers dont use that because of track IR but casual players like me, love that camera. Out of all the games I played, ACC has the best interior camera. Chase camera is still imho, so I gotta give that to FH5.

I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve seen a racing game with 2player split screen 😩🤯🔥🔥

I haven't played a GT game in over a decade only because I haven't owned a PlayStation for a very long time. This game looks awesome and reminds so much of GT 2 but even more so it makes me want Forza Motorsport 8, I hope it's incredible 🤞

Camera movements in 3rd/1st person can be adjusted. The MODE 2 cockpit with no HUD is next level. I do 100% of my racing with no HUD in the Forst Person MODE 2. Absolutely mind blowing, more often than not.

yeah the mtx design and forced online are a massive blight on the game. Also I like the tuner option for races, but 100% agree that BoP races need to be a thing alongside them too. But something tells me they want tuner races to be emphasised due to them encouraging spending credits on upgrades and cars that are better suited to the current track everyone is racing on. If these issues can be fixed (i.e. if they can tone down the give me more money aspects) I'll have nothing bad to say about this game

Considering it will be a long while until I can get a ps5 and a new wheel setup, I'm hopeful a lot of the issues get worked out by then.

In the updates section they speak of upcoming tracks and cars. Could there be more cafe missions in the future with new cars and tracks to unlock?

my biggest gripe with the game is the physics on the dirt tracks. the car literally teleports after going over a bump

For the 700pp championship, I could've, or barely get 1st with a modified tesla, but like you said, you start dead last and you have to push real hard to catch up. It wasn't also just the tesla, I had to tune cars to MAX. to be on par with the pp requirement.

The microtransactions aren't that bad. If you use the traditional money grinding methods you can get anywhere from 1-1.8 million an hour which pretty much invalidates the idea of buying cash.

Engine sound is like they they just captured the external and internal sound in a garage on a dyno

I've been on the fence with this game... I was even going to go out to buy a sim kit to get the 'Real Feel'. Thank you for this video. Amazon is gonna have to lick my ass cause ima be canceling my order. toodles meng

the cameras are good imho. you can play cafe with a hand full of cars, through out, it also features cups. while i agree the cars sound great, the VQ example was not so nice anyway, there will be so many updates, as we know

That 350z sounded like it was in a tunnel

Great Video - only things I disagree is driving in the night (problems with lights of the other cars issue), and track design - which are lost in the last gen. :(

I remember the trailer for sport In 2017 talking trash about how the game has become for car collecting just so they can literally make it about car collecting In GT7 except It has 30% of the cars and races of any other Gran Turismo game

How many times did you start a race with street tires and it starts raining. Unless I’ve missed something I don’t know when it’s raining. Apologies before hand if I missed a notification but it’s frustrating. MR cars are a handful to drive and like a lot of mentions before the physics sometimes are ridiculous. I just got a wheel and stand, I really think this game will shine on a wheel like previous games.

ironically gt6 had good hood cam on g37 race sports car and others, haven't played gt7 but I've played every game in the franchise you do have some solid points with camera views, but you can't complain about if feeling sim if you have traction control or other assists on :)

With the livery editor customization: TURN 10 STUDIOS/MICROSOFT, TAKE TONS OF NOTES!!!

How is the FFB in comparison to AC or Rfactor 2? I really wanna play GT7 but i dont have a PS5...

You said it I miss the cones

Fees like cars are hovering over the road never feels right to me

I think this game is just for people who have racing wheels, and thats why they like it so much. I was thinking of picking it up, but I'm on controller and while the haptics are for sure cool, I had to remind myself that doing literal laps for 50 hours just isn't fun.

Menus in place of musicals and a real career would have been great

I was Gran Turismo daft. I love it but changed to Forza years ago for 1 reason only. The sound of the cars in Forza is so far ahead. The sound of the cars is one of the most important aspects for me. However the replays in Forza are nowhere near Gran Turismo’s quality. So it’s a trade off. We will have to see what Turn Ten produces this time around.

one complaint I have is the used and legendary dealers take way too long to restock (one change per day(changes include cars being in limited stock cars being out of stock and or cars being exchanged and it’s only a few cars that recieve one or more of these changes per day))

Have they made improvements to the handling model since this video was made?

This is the best review on youtube so far. But i do disagree that the cars we "gifted" for going through the so called "career" mode are useless. I start out ofcourse using the starter car and i end up grinding it it out to be able to afford one car that was my favorite and used that for most of that region then when I win those cars I end up using those cars to beat more of those career races. I barely buy cars in this game until way later in the game when I have alot of money. Alot of those free cars you get are amazing cars not junk cars. I mean you be getting supras and gtr and corvettes, porches and camaros. What more you need? Sure you wont get crazy unique supercars but some supercars you can get during those very hard license and special events mode. I love gt7 so far but the issue here is some of those race events are extremely hard for me. I dont own a steering wheel like hardcore racing fans. I only use controller and it can suck sometimes. I dont play online cus i dont like to play with strangers and I dont think im not good of a racer in terms of video game. But all in all i love this game because I love cars and to read up on the history of those cars were amazing. I am also a history buff

Are you still or have you figured out ways to earn roulette tickets after completing all the menus besides daily workout I haven’t got anything over a two star ticket since I’ve beat the menu’s

The only thing is wish this game had was more of a focus on modern cars. Instead of a 2021 Posrche 911 turbo s... you get like a 1997 and a 2005 porsche.

If you are offline and play music rally it won't save any trophy progress or track times so there isn't any point to playing offline anyways

man i need to get my hands on a ps5 so i can get my hands on gt7 last gt game i played was grand turismo 6 wich was my favorite racing game before i lerned about forza and the car list in gt6 like the fisker karma and all the amazing concepts cars

Hey what wheels are those on the mk3 at the end?

as soon as this game gets B-spec and sell car option, its complete package.

oof, inability to sell cars is definitely one of huge turn off, at least for me i already hate that this is a thing on forza and now it's on GT

M8 I think that it's a bit early to make a review bc in a year the game will be much better. There will be more events, more tracks, more cars and the physics will be much better etc.

i did all the books can only get 1 ticket a day that mostly 1-2 stars how do i get engines swaps /brand inv/special car/ . my used car lot never changes its been the same for 5 days. if u buy a ungraded race car u cant use it unless u play a custom

Game is very good, I played every day. But what I mis is there isn't many different races and championship like the mobile game 'real racing 3'. When I start as a national B racer, It was easy to promote to a national A racer. I hope in the furture they will add more racing and championship. I also do like F1, Indycar, goodwoodfestival, make own championship and race with otherplayers/friends.

Only gripe: permanent upgrades on cars. Weight reduction/engine bore, etc...like yeah it's realistic, of course, but just let me return a car to stock (without having to spend ungodly amounts of money in the 'extreme' tab). And, no, adding ballast weight is not the same thing.

As someone who enjoys using chase view as well as cockpit I find the camera _so_ aggravating, the horrible way it's rigidly stuck to the car's rear is both ugly and disorienting and it's bordering on stubbornness that they don't allow for any alternatives. I love Forza's chase camera, I think it's the best in any game(besides the various modded options in AC), and having to use the one in GT is just very frustrating. The mad things is that they lavish so much time on these extraordinary car models - absolutely spectacular, the best in class - and because of that stupid camera there's no way to pan around your car and admire it.

The Updates for this Game will be amazing give them some time

My server has been down for almost 24 hrs. I literally can’t play a game I paid like $120.00 for. I’m an XBox guy but hate the Forza Horizon franchise so I bought a PS5 specifically so I could play Gran Turismo. Considering the game takes up 1/4 of the memory on here it’s an absolute farce that I can’t play it offline… I might have a very slightly used PS5 for sale real soon.

What does everyone think about how accurate the car pricing is? Ive heard its not very accurate sometimes

I think ull find that most wheel users would use wheel cam over roof cam….

Roof camera is only a thing in cars with short or no hoods, most cars have proper hood cams

Would be nice if there were more menus after getting super lisence. Maybe more tracks for F1 cars. If you can buy or win them there should be tracks for them. Also where are the city tracks??? Having to always be online in order to play GTR 7 also sucks.

Would be way better if u took of tcs and ur abs when driving, and like u said with cars tht pack alot of hp need some traction and abs on 👍🏼

Something GT always struggled with is the sense of speed, going 150 mph feels like riding a bike.
