My Dad and I spent hundreds of hours playing GT2 when I was a kid. That game kickstarted a life-long love of cars for me. Stoked to see it return to form.
I also have memories with my dad and GT. We played GT5 I don't even know how many hours, racing around the Top Gear track and setting times. Best gaming memories I've ever had
Gran Tourismo saved my life - Some years ago I was driving from one town to another, an occasional trip for me so I was semi familiar with the roads, it was the early hours of the morning and still dark, I was doing 60mph down a 2 lane dual carriageway and there was a long blind left bend, suddenly there was a huge raised roundabout which was not there previously, seems the windy weather had blown over the temporary warning signs, I braked heavily and went into a spin, my rear-end was dragging me round towards the outer kerb of the roundabout, I had already spun 180º, Due to playing a ton of GT I instinctively I let go of the brake, flicked the steering wheel and re-applied the brake in an instant, and the weight in the car shifted from rear to front, completing a 360º spin and pulling me away from the kerb which would have smashed my wheels and axle an likely flipped the car. for a moment I let myself relax as the smog of rubber lifted and I was facing the right way and continued on my Journy.
I was in my brother's MX5 and he was being a tit at a roundabout, he span out and smashed into a kerb. Luckily he only needed new rear wheel. It was scary but we laugh about it like a min after.
Of coarse, because wrecking a car in real life is totally the same as in a video game. "Saved your life" ? don't speed in the rain in your dad's car kid
@@eyesturnedeverinward Don't assume dear, im 45, happened in my 30's I was doing less than the speed limit (which is 70 in the UK on a dual carriageway) It was a brand new roundabout for an impending industrial estate build so in the middle of nowhere, the temp signs had blown over due to a storm and there were no road markings or reflective barriers yet, the instict and knowledge to shift the cars weight and pull the car away from the kerb was entirely due to learned reactions from playing GT.
A-spec was one of the first times i realized that video games were going to look amazing in the future i swear i only ever drove a PT Cruiser and still geeked at the visuals the entire time. hahaha
I remember playing the 1st when I was really little, my dad and grandpa would sit side by side on the carpet racing each other all the time. The cords didn't reach the couch back then haha. I remember them talking about gt2 and gt3. Saying one day will have a gt5-9 on something like a ps6. Haha they weren't far off.
This is my first GT game and I am loving it. I skew towards Arcade Racers, but have played a few Sims. I found myself turning off most of the assists almost right away. You are totally right that it feels more like a shackle than a help. I got sucked into the License tests as soon as they opened up. I had to gold every one of the B tests before I could move on. After a half hour of retrying over and over to get gold on all of them, my wife decided this was the most boring game ever and went to bed. I got them golds and the two reward cars though so... worth it.
This game is as much of a sim as GTA5. Including damage physics, alot worse actually. Sorry to burst your bubble, but go buy Project cars of you wanna play a SIM on ps4. You can play the entire game offline too.
@@thatman4752 damage physics aren't important Sorry that your driving is so bad that you atleast don't get to see a car get destroyed when you stack it
GT3 taught my friends and me important things. Like a PS2 can spin a disc for over two weeks straight; when you want to take pause breaks from completing the 100 lap enduro races and running the game without a memory card.
I remember doing the 2 hours Super Speedway race. Just wall riding, using a chair leg to push the X button (accelerator). Meanwhile, I took a shower, ate lunch, watched tv. 2 hours later, I won. Lol.
These Before You Buy videos have been my go-to for a while now. I appreciate the insights and the help saving money. Keep up the great work and thank you guys!
First “before you buy” I watch AFTER I got the game to see how accurate the video is and yeah, spot on! Not that I doubted you, I look for these videos all the time haha.
Its wild how much has changed I remember playing silent hill 2 thinking the cinematics were amazing now in today's world we have super realistic characters like I'm sure gran turismo and forza horizon 5 screen shots could pass as real pictures
@@carlosenriquecastellanoizq7724 No, it's not. The first two Gran Turismos had similar handling models and were radically different from GT3 and onwards.
I know it’s not for everyone but I spend the majority of my time with the game in the menus and looking at all the car data and history. Going through and spending hours on liveries and fine tuning. And then it makes it even better that knowing that the actual racing is fun and beautiful. That’s why I love these games!
As a huge fan of the game series, i can't Fing believe you guys did it again. Online only?! Do the people without internet not matter? Why does a single player game NEED internet connection to be able to play? That is serious bs.
This is one of my biggest problem in gt sport. Since my country had shitty internet providers, sometimes we got literally no internet connection at all. And whenever that happens, i usually go to my ps4 to play single player games. Also to add up, server maintenance. Can't also play when they're fixing the servers.
This game is totally worth it, never been a fan of it I tried to play GT sport and didn’t like it much but decided to give this one a chance and it did not disappoint
@@Spazlites I came I to this hoping for a feel kinda like 3 and 4, and every expectation has been met so far. Even lots of old tunes from games gone by included in number 7 create a nostalgic fan service of an end result, and I honestly don't think I could be happier with it.
@@thelazerproject I disagree 100%. I’m a huge GT fan and Sport was a disappointment to me. GT7 is a blast and harkens back to the glory days in my opinion. Nothing like Sport at all.
I’m really enjoying the new changes, but has that classic feel of old entries of the series. Playing on a PS4 Pro with ssd and it runs and looks beautiful!
Gran Turismo 7 is literally a copy/paste of Gran Turismo Sport. And it's so boring too, the only people interested in this game are boomers. Forza is a way better game
How would you say the grip at low speeds is compared to gtsport. I found low speeds wildly unrealistic, even in low powered cars you'd spin out for the slightest hesitation or power input. Also real life 0 to 60 times could not be reached because of this. I believe this is why they did rolling starts.
@@artydean9892hey I know this was 10 months ago but definitely worth the price if you are a “car guy” it’s the most polished race game out there in the sense of what you do to your car matters and actually effects the driving i buy every racing game that comes out and this one nails exactly what it wants to worth every penny
I just wanted to say that I watch ALL gameranx videos, even the ones about games I'm not really into like this one, I love the way you guys talk and analyse games, I identify myself very much with the personal opinions you have, keep on the good work, I bet it isn't easy but you excell on it, believe it or not your videos are one of the special moments of my day and every time I hear that inicial ding at the beginning of every video I know that I'll be entertained and feel at home, thank you guys so much
I was 12 when the first one came out and me and my lil brother adored these, we're in our 30's now and I was just telling him the other day that I was buying this and now the journey continues....only now my 13 old daughter is my designated driver, very fun game as usual, great to see the many improvements they have made. As for the mircotransactions, just progress into the cafe enough and you'll eventually unlock higher paying yet chill races! Happy racing!
brooooo i was 7 i think when the first one came out in 1997. So dope to see people in the same generation as I am (sorta) that grew up with this with multiple disc on PS1 lol. Insane to see the graphics and the gameplay stay on track for so long.
I played the first gran turismo on the ps1. They have come a long way. I cant wait to get my hands on it. The cool thing about gran turismo is that it puts the actual tactical nature to what real world racing is. Very very happy they kept that as a staple. Totally getting a Mitsubishi 3000 gt vr4 and rocking that!!😁
@@axemansjazz6670 I’ve got my 3000 gt from getting gold in the B license on Gt7 today. Bored the motor and got stage 2 mods, it’s pushing 345 Hp and I just started the game going against 65 Hp beetles 😂💀
So nice to finally have a Gran Turismo game, not had one since 2013. GT1 and 2 were landmark titles for me. Loved the feeling of getting an old banger from the second hand market and tuning it up, speccing it as a touring car or as a rallycross car or whatever the races required. Loved the flexibility that a single car allowed. Only thing I hated were the license tests, they could go die in a fire. There are other skill based ways to progress that does not require shitty time trials. Invitationals would work. Start winning a lot in your bracket and you get invited to a Qualifying Race for the next bracket up. Do well, say get a podium, to qualify. And no restart scumming; you fail and its back to grinding until you get another invite. I personally would prefer a system like that, I'm probably in the minority though.
As a long time fan of GT games (since GT2) this is surely the best ever by a country mile. It's just mindblowing the amount of features and attention to detail without cutting down on fun. It's the "one more turn" of racing games. Grinding has a very good balance, not painful anymore, and every car is very unique and thus not boring anymore by racing with Clios or a 1969 Mini! I play on PS5 (loading times almost inexistent and the most beautiful graphics and amazing 3D sound on headphones) so can't comment on PS4. Also, don't bother with buying credits with real money, you will regret it, I still have my 1.000.000 credits voucher to be redeemed and suddently I found myself with 1.000.000 in my account and plenty of cars just after 15hours playing.
I’m trying to decide if I should buy this. This comment sounds convincing 😂. Last one I played was GT5 on the ps3, didn’t really like the other ones much. Too different.. This one seems like they returned to that classic single player experience that I loved in GT 4 and 5.
I’ve been playing the franchise since the first Japanese release. I had sent my original PlayStation off to be chip moded so I could play Japanese titles and the original Gran Turismo was one of them. Along with the original Metal Gear Solid. Just started playing GT7 yesterday and agree that it is beautiful and should allow for hundreds of hours of challenges.
Really happy to see Gran Turismo back, truly missed the career mode in GT Sport and didn’t bother playing at all. While GT7 has consumed me lately, played a lot of it so far
There is actually damage in the cars in this game. You just have to really ram into something and then it's just some deformity on the car with scratches. You can't total a car but there is damage deformity.
there is actually a fairly decent damage model in the game, it's just that it's not active for most of the time (especially not in the standard single player career). engine can be seriously damaged, wheels, and the aero.
Couldn't find any UA-cam video showing some decent damage modeling. GT7 is a SHAME regarding this subject as all other versions in the past. A beautiful Hot Wheels simulator with a car encyclopedia embedded.
@@eflobo the only way you will find out about the severity of damage is creating a custom race. I haven't played online lobbies yet to know if it's also there. However in single player custom races, it's an option but it's honestly pointless. Why? The ai won't crash unless you hit them or the crash because of the rain and either or won't make the race any more interesting in that regard. Side note: the split screen players is such a waste mostly. Just rental cars and not many at all. Not even allowed to use your garage vehicles
The nostalgia from the music to the re mapped classic tracks have me playing this more than I like. Horizon and Elden Ring has taken a back seat literally in my PlayStation library!
@@martinrps13 Microtransactions? When you buy a game with microtransactions it means that after purchasing the game there is even more smaller purchases that can be made. They’re fine if they’re only cosmetic though.
Already bought it the first night it came out. Didn't have to think twice. Amazing Game !!! driving is sick, effects are there, car history and world history is top notch. The narrating is simplistic but engaging and fun to read along without getting bored. The cars are beautiful and awards are given frequently but the racing can get difficult if you have it on master yoda level. This game is for those who appreciate racing and calmness. This is a car collectors dream
Im hoping Gran Turimo's car roster gets boosted back up to GT6 levels. I think 6 had like 1,200 cars or something. Surely more cars will come through updates to the game in the future.
Gran turismo 1 was the first racing game I ever played. Many years later, I’m glad we’ve got something for just about anyone. As a car enthusiast, I applaud you guys for not comparing this to Forza Horizon 5, AT ALL. Both games are beautiful and fun in their own demographic. I can’t wait for the day I get to play GT7, Horizon 5 and Motorsport (8?) on all beautifully capable machines. Console/brands aside, car enthusiasts, let’s rejoice!!!
I love GT7. It's exactly what I wanted it to be. The original "CaRPG", I love that you referenced the enjoyment in just browsing parts and comparing upgrades and stats. A lot of the fun is the pre-race, just getting everything configured just right to shave those seconds off your time.
My first was Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2 and it was the first car racing game I had and I distinctly remember trying to work my way up from a PT Cruiser to a Camaro and so on. Having a PS5 and seeing GT7 I am really excited to play it and get back into it!
This game is so addicting. Collecting cars, completing license tests, the cafe, tuning and customizing, you name it! Can't wait to get my hands on a PS5 to fully experience this game.
@@ujiv31 id say yes if you're a fan of the series, I'm loving the game and the PS4 version is still pretty good quality. I think there's enough cars, they will add a load more in time, Alot of standard cars, also high end and a few concept cars. The licenses are a good challenge as usual and the story mode keeps you busy but also will help new comers I'm a big way. Its really up to you if you're still enjoy get sport then I'd say wait a while and get it on sale and maybe with other stuff added, but if you're thinking the opposite I'd say go for it
⚠️ WARNING!!!⚠️ Reviewers have received a DIFFERENT version of the game that lacks SPECIFIC SIGNIFICANT content from retail 1. They have fully activated a micro transaction store with season passes. Buying Cr with REAL MONEY has increased EXPONENTIALLY from previous titles. 2. Cr for all races have been reduced by at least 50% 3. Cr costs of vehicles have been INCREASED by an OVERWHELMINGLY SIGNIFICANT amount 4. The ability to SELL cars has been REMOVED GT 7 devs and Sony are being DECEPTIVE & MANIPULATIVE. 🛑 Buy at your own risk! Research before you buy! 🛑
Before you buy gran turismo, there is a lot of micros transactions that almost force you to spend real money for the car you want. The game is always online, so you never know when the server would be down. Avoid this game for now please.
@@AcidSnake87 100 percent. This person's comment is the type of comment made by someone that saw the game getting shit on for having microtransactions and joining in on it without ever having played it. At no point does the game "almost force you" to spend any money on microtransactions.
my first GT game was GT sport, but then I stared playing a little GT 4 on my grandpa's PS2. I have to say that the difference in the feel of racing from GT sport to GT7 is way better; its almost like you can feel every pebble on the road. also I like that GT7 doesn't give you everything almost right away, for example, you have access to all the tires in GT sport, but in GT7 u actually have to buy the tires from the tuning shop. i think that the new GT7 game is a great upgrade from the previous games
TBH, I was missing quite a few things from the review. Is there fuel depletion, tyre wear? Pitstops? Flags? Penalty system? What kind of multiplayer (host)options? Driver swaps? Etc
Jake's modified DeLorean brought a smile to my face. Menus need streamlined. Clouds could use redone, they look pretty janky for ps4 and ps5. Always brake in a straight line. Favorite GT car is Renault Espace f1 from GT2
I've put about 10 hours into GT7 so far and it truly is the most impressive thing I've ever encountered in my over 20 years of gaming. Hats off to Polyphony and Sony for this one.
@@imac846 g29 can be found on FB marketplace for 150, it's worth it. I got mine for 160 basically brand new, the dude told me he used it twice and never touched it again
All the comments of people saying 'This game is amazing and its my first GT game and it's sick!' - You are why there are microtransactions in this game. And why there will be more.
@@luan4753 Because they're blindly buying this release. The majority must've bought it at launch though. Can't blame them for that but it's always better to just sit tight and watch where it's going for a week or two with reviews & updates. And it hasn't been well off recently...
You have to play this in VR2!!! I went out and got me a steering wheel with the gas, brake, and clutch system. I then got a stick shifter so that I can really drive like I'm there. But in VR2, it's so damn good...
I'm a smidge older than you Jake, so I remember playing the first Gran Turismo, on PS1, it had 2 disks, and for the time, it was beautiful.. Me and a friend we completed the 24 hour course in shifts, it was very fun.
@Itch-HeSay yeah, Like I might pick up a used copy for 10 bucks someday but that's about it. I guess another 5 years of gt1-4 with the occasional modded gt5 it is again. And some forza for multiplayer I guess.
@@mattwiper I actually wonder what will happen to it yes. But as sonys track record is in the last decade gt sport has about 1 year to live from now. And it won't be patched at all. They didn't do that for gt5, gt6 or driveclub(they even took away some of your cars there). And it was never really going strong compared to other gt games, but that asside I do wonder what they'll do with it. Will they do what they did the for the last decade or finally change by keeping the servers online or patching the game.
Can you guys please update your review to include the game AS IT CURRENTLY IS? You guys 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.
Also I love how you guys included the DeLorean in this video! It's one of my favorite features of the last four GT games just because it's a freaking DeLorean hahaha
I've been playing GT since the first one came out 25 years ago... This one did not disappoint I am totally hooked on this game. Everything is just perfect.
The amount of different cars, dynamic weather that can change the entire race in an instance - it's all amazing! I'm at Cafe 34 and I really dig this game.
In a time of "live service", no review should be final. This review needs to be updated. Sony/Playstation waited for these reviews, and then updated the microtransation system. This review represents a different game, at this point.
"Game DEMANDS by the book clean racing". >immediately hits the viper. Also there definitely is damage, it's not super significant or realistic, but it's visible even on my ps4 pro.
I have played them all. I was over 90% complete on 3 and 4. Only about 50 on 5, but only as I got older my time for games grew shorter. I bought sport at GameStop used. I took right back that day. I didn’t realize it was all online. Now I’m a truck driver. I may not have as much time as with 3 and 4, but we have periods of boredom getting loaded or unloaded for hours. I’m going to get my newer tv mounted in my truck and get a ps5 just for this. Gran Turismo has been by far my favorite game. When I was 19 I bought a 2000 civic SI. I’ve had a built 96 ws6 Trans AM. But now my toys have gotten more expensive and faster. I have a 2017 Cadillac ATS-V. It’s a few years old now but still bad ass. I have Gran Turismo and my dad to thank for my love of fast cars. Any how have fun everybody.
First game I’ve bought at launch in years. Game’s phenomenal so far. A huge relief given the recent record of hyped games failing terribly. Just hoping they continue to add more cars into the GT world and introduce a driver level alongside the exisiting m collection level. Those two aspects would increase the longevity of an already fantastic game.
Oh don't worry they will add them and you will pay real money for them. Why did they take away the ability to sell cars? 🙄 micro transactions. Sony has officially sold out. Been playing this game since 1997. Tuning out.
@@brandony1198 Idk about that man GT won't be as popular as there are much better racing sims with less microtransactions already out. There's also the fact that if this game drops on steam I would not doubt that the 80 dollar price tag will put people off combined with the microtransactions. Compare that to Assetto which has frequent DLC and Base game sales and supports modding.
@@toopink4death492 is asseto really that hard? How does it work as far as obtaining cars and upgrades and stuff? Basically asking if it could at all be a gt substitute on pc..
I have not played a GT since 1 and 2. Very much thinking I'll get this one soon. I respect the sim aspects. I was more into R4. Ps1 racers were just really cool to me in a way Ps2 and 3 ones weren't. Rally Cross on Ps1, another goodie.
I'd love a sports game with this level of love for the history of the subject. Like a baseball game with unlockable history bits. Playable vintage games.
Start researching because it has been out of stock at Best Buy, Amazon...game stop has used copies, make sure that you have alerts set to see when GT7 comes in.
I’ve never played the gt series but I’m so glad I gave it a chance, the attention to detail is amazing it looks so real, the replay cutscene’s a nice touch
I've been loving GT7. The insane in-game photo mode that could rival adobe lightroom and the precision the game pushes you to get better the more you play. Polyphony added so many features to GT sport over the past few years with free cars and tracks, even an arcade mode, so I know they'll add even more to this game. Music Rally is kinda eh tbh, maybe with the addition of more music it'll be more fun, and I believe the game does a great job with allowing you to play without microtransactions. Oh it's there, and you can easily build your car compendium (think persona or pokedex) by buying the cars with real money, but it is possible to ignore microtransactions and enjoy the game as is. Finally they brought back proper car tuning and some customization options, and the livery editor is just as nuts as GT Sport, some of the stuff that is being shared in the community pages are crazy good from car liveries to suit and helmets. I am probably coming strong as a fanboy lol but I really do enjoy this game a lot as of release.
Forza is way more fun. Gran Turismo 7 is a boring car "simulator" for boomers. And it's a copy/paste of Gran Turismo Sport. You ponies sure do love to get scamed and receive garbage
I'm a long time "Gran Turismo fan,it's just a really fun nostalgic time. I just hit my ps button and jam my "Spotify through the game and enjoy the love of driving. I love it. Great video "Gameranx 🤘
Played it on release and it was extremely difficult and I was frustrated... after trying to learn it and playing alone I've learned how to handle it much better and using a wheel helped! I do believe this game is not for everyone for sure and I'm not sure if it's for me yet but I've definitely had some fun playing today. We will see how it goes!
Do the licenses. It really helps for beginners to simulation racing. Understanding the racing line, when and where to brake or throttle, and most importantly for multiplayer, learning race etiquette so you know how to race cleanly.
I play alot of racing simulators, I played about 1000 hours of grand tourismo sport. Grand tourismo has never been the most realistic sim but it is always the best at being user friendly and fun. I'm excited to see where the esports scene goes for this game. My first grand tourismo game was gt5 and I still think that's the best one.
@@tilburg8683 they can patch the game at its deadline like they did with GT6 , its not that Hard, i think they made it always online because of How competitive the online races are and because of the FIA
@@jesusserrano8769 no they wont and they never patched anything in gt6 lol all online stuff is broken now, same for gt5. And drive club, they even took away cars in driveclub.
@@jesusserrano8769 also the online only is 100% due to greed. Sony has been greedy since gt5/ after gt4 and it has been showing. Gt5 is alright but the devs clearly slacked and didn't put a lot of effort in it only a fraction of the effort that got out into even gt1. Its just so when the next game releases you'll need to buy that one just like with GT5 and GT6 (altho single player was still playable which is important) but to play with friends you had to buy the new low effort traincrash dumpsterfire game they put out. Sony has never patched such things and never will. If they end up doing that, good they found a solution for a problem they created I guess?
I played more that 300 hours of GT7 since it came out. I have kept playing long after getting Platinum. At the moment, I am redoing all licenses, missions and Circuit Experience as the leaderboards were reset with the last patch. I only have one mission left to gold, and one Circuit Experience (Nurburgring). The constant free updates keep me coming back. I would strongly recommend this game.
When will you address the issues and the stupid decisions tha PD is taking with this game? We need you to help us to get this sorted out, or else we are all screwed!
I love the cafe system so far and driving is great as expected. I like when these games restrict you to cars you wouldn't normally use or restrict how much power you can drive with. Really pushes your comfort zone and you can find new things you enjoy.
Only people with no driving skills dislike bop or pp regulations . Forces you to make your car faster with gears, down force , different power bands from the different turbos and super charges , toe , caster and camber etc. oh yea and proper lines , braking points and apex cutting.
I had to pull over while driving to make this comment. DONT BUY THIS GAME As soon as this game began public these homeless plebeians changed the economy of the game. For example a car that’s not real use to cost 3 dollars in the other games even then that was pretty bad if you tried to collect everything BUT NOW ITS 3 million gems which is 60 AUD LMAO wtf??? Madness even if we don’t have a lot of money guys it is our duty tell all our friends and family about this crap so they don’t buy it low or in future until these people stop treating us like Dobby from harry potter
Scores for reviews have always been meaningless. You can't boil down a game experience into a single number. I'm glad they highlighted the mtx's. I've seen far too many people ignoring them, or excusing them because they're 'optional' time savers. The usual BS.
I watched a video where researchers compared how speed feels in a simulation (a game) depending on various factors. It turns out FOV is a big factor. High fov = high sense of speed.
My first ever GT was Gran Turismo PSP. I followed it up with GT4 once I acquired a PS2 years later and now I have almost the full series, the original still eludes me to this day
I started playing the Gran Turismo series back when I was 2 years old, playing the first game on the original PlayStation in 1997. I own every copy so far with the exception of this one. To me, this series is an iconic moment in my life and gave me the love for cars and video games in general. Racing fast down the courses, the amount of cars and things you could do with them & the graphical capabilities back then and even now blow me away. This game looks great and I cannot wait to pick it up. Now granted, the micro-transactions are optional, so I can see why people are rubbed the wrong way, but for me personally, I like to grind. I love the feeling and fun I could get by maxing out the stats for a slower vehicle and just blowing the other cars out of the water and just overall having a great time. It’s not something I could do in real life, so this is the next best thing. All in all, as a long time GT fan, I’m happy and excited for this next title! 💪🏾🏁
The fact alone that this is online to play only, and has micro transactions on top, gets a big no from me on buying it. The reason being is, same with GT5 (the last one I've played because of this. And yes I own them all up to 5), the moment that Polyphony decides that the servers are down, features of the game you may enjoy are gone for good, even though you payed for them full price. On GT7, the entire game will be gone when they decide to pull the plug in a few years. So my question is, why should I pay for something that has an expiration date? I think not.
I’m not completely clear on what all needs the servers to function. Would the servers being shut down take away aspects of the single player campaign or just make it completely unplayable?
The Gran Turismo 1 demo got me 5 and my friends really into it. I purchased the second one and 5 which was my favorite. I always get all the licenses before I start racing. I got really good at it over the years. I may a busy lifestyle,but I make time for "GT7 🏁
I only got into these games with GT Sport and I thought this one looked cool so I pre-ordered and got it a week early (thanks, Amazon), and I must say: I am hooked! Is it flashy or arcade, like the Forza games? No, but it doesn't try to be, and I've been having a lot of fun doing races and collecting and modifying cars, which is literally everything I like and expect in racing games.
So many amazing GT memories, been obsessed since the multi disc original GT, I wrecked my dirt bike & was in a hospital bed at home for months, my cousin would play for hours, just the 2 of us building awesome cars
It just went on sale on the PS store today for $39 and I’ve been on the fence if I should pick this game up or not since I’ve never played a GT game. (I’m used to the Forza Horizon series) This showed me exactly what I’ll be expecting! thanks for the video Jake!
I’m not a car guy but I really love this series. I’m struggling at the start of this one because I’m used to getting a car after each days daily workout and my lack of knowledge hurts when deciding on upgrades. However that being said I am enjoying this current version with just a steeper learning curve than those with knowledge of cars. lol.
I've played every Gran Turismo since 2 but my favorite addition was probably in GT4 where they introduced B-Spec where you were the crew chief of the pit crew and you can let the game play and watch and make decisions when it's important on the TV, yet still watch funny youtube videos on your computer at the same time.
favorite car from any racing game? can be a legendary signature car or just a small personal favorite. Go!
Okay
Nice
The ones I can't afford

My Dad and I spent hundreds of hours playing GT2 when I was a kid. That game kickstarted a life-long love of cars for me. Stoked to see it return to form.
holy shit, same here hahaha nice to know I'm not the only one
Same . This game looks amazing
I also have memories with my dad and GT. We played GT5 I don't even know how many hours, racing around the Top Gear track and setting times. Best gaming memories I've ever had
GT2 was the daddy… Would still play that over any of the follow ups
I always saved up just to buy the Suzuki Escudo…
Gran Tourismo saved my life - Some years ago I was driving from one town to another, an occasional trip for me so I was semi familiar with the roads, it was the early hours of the morning and still dark, I was doing 60mph down a 2 lane dual carriageway and there was a long blind left bend, suddenly there was a huge raised roundabout which was not there previously, seems the windy weather had blown over the temporary warning signs, I braked heavily and went into a spin, my rear-end was dragging me round towards the outer kerb of the roundabout, I had already spun 180º, Due to playing a ton of GT I instinctively I let go of the brake, flicked the steering wheel and re-applied the brake in an instant, and the weight in the car shifted from rear to front, completing a 360º spin and pulling me away from the kerb which would have smashed my wheels and axle an likely flipped the car. for a moment I let myself relax as the smog of rubber lifted and I was facing the right way and continued on my Journy.
Same!!!
I was in my brother's MX5 and he was being a tit at a roundabout, he span out and smashed into a kerb. Luckily he only needed new rear wheel. It was scary but we laugh about it like a min after.
Of coarse, because wrecking a car in real life is totally the same as in a video game. "Saved your life" ? don't speed in the rain in your dad's car kid
@@eyesturnedeverinward Don't assume dear, im 45, happened in my 30's I was doing less than the speed limit (which is 70 in the UK on a dual carriageway) It was a brand new roundabout for an impending industrial estate build so in the middle of nowhere, the temp signs had blown over due to a storm and there were no road markings or reflective barriers yet, the instict and knowledge to shift the cars weight and pull the car away from the kerb was entirely due to learned reactions from playing GT.
Nice joke,you really good at trolling!

My first Gran Turismo game was Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2. It was such an experience.
A-spec was one of the first times i realized that video games were going to look amazing in the future
i swear i only ever drove a PT Cruiser and still geeked at the visuals the entire time. hahaha
I'm not a car guy and I even love GT3, I've played it last year and dam that game still looks good!
Same. Too bad i can’t buy this game because i am in Russia and all games are banned now here as well as movies.
I remember playing the 1st when I was really little, my dad and grandpa would sit side by side on the carpet racing each other all the time. The cords didn't reach the couch back then haha. I remember them talking about gt2 and gt3. Saying one day will have a gt5-9 on something like a ps6. Haha they weren't far off.
Same dude I spent so much time in that game!
This is my first GT game and I am loving it. I skew towards Arcade Racers, but have played a few Sims. I found myself turning off most of the assists almost right away. You are totally right that it feels more like a shackle than a help. I got sucked into the License tests as soon as they opened up. I had to gold every one of the B tests before I could move on. After a half hour of retrying over and over to get gold on all of them, my wife decided this was the most boring game ever and went to bed. I got them golds and the two reward cars though so... worth it.

You can play the entire game offline too.
@@thatman4752 damage physics aren't important
Sorry that your driving is so bad that you atleast don't get to see a car get destroyed when you stack it
GT3 taught my friends and me important things. Like a PS2 can spin a disc for over two weeks straight; when you want to take pause breaks from completing the 100 lap enduro races and running the game without a memory card.
I remember doing the 2 hours Super Speedway race. Just wall riding, using a chair leg to push the X button (accelerator). Meanwhile, I took a shower, ate lunch, watched tv. 2 hours later, I won. Lol.
LOL
The Ps2 is like a Toyota from the 90s, just refuses to die.
Does GT7 have endurance races ?
It would be a total waste of time playing Gt3 without a memory card.

I remember the old GT on PS2, man have they come a long way since then
No they haven’t, is the same game with better graphics and more menus
I remember the DEMO of the PS1 man
Good times.
Its wild how much has changed I remember playing silent hill 2 thinking the cinematics were amazing now in today's world we have super realistic characters like I'm sure gran turismo and forza horizon 5 screen shots could pass as real pictures
@@carlosenriquecastellanoizq7724 No, it's not.
The first two Gran Turismos had similar handling models and were radically different from GT3 and onwards.
I know it’s not for everyone but I spend the majority of my time with the game in the menus and looking at all the car data and history. Going through and spending hours on liveries and fine tuning. And then it makes it even better that knowing that the actual racing is fun and beautiful. That’s why I love these games!
I checked out the museum in GT Sport and it was actually really interesting. Learned a lot about Nissan!
Thats the beauty of Gran Turismo. Everybody just experiences the game differently. There's something for everyone.
Just looking at the scenery thing they have and the cars in general in greater detail is a good chunk of the experience for me
😍
Forza is better and more fun. Gran Turismo 7 is just a boring wanabe driving "simulator" for boomers.
As a huge fan of the game series, i can't Fing believe you guys did it again. Online only?! Do the people without internet not matter? Why does a single player game NEED internet connection to be able to play? That is serious bs.
right?i hate that to even though i got internet
Agreed. So they can get more $ from micro transaction impulse buys! Very disappointing 😕
Make a point with your wallter
This is one of my biggest problem in gt sport. Since my country had shitty internet providers, sometimes we got literally no internet connection at all. And whenever that happens, i usually go to my ps4 to play single player games. Also to add up, server maintenance. Can't also play when they're fixing the servers.
This game is totally worth it, never been a fan of it I tried to play GT sport and didn’t like it much but decided to give this one a chance and it did not disappoint
Hm, I like GT7, but it feels like a gt sport update to me, not like a new game
@@thelazerproject stop lying lol…I’ve been playing gt sport for 4 years now…they’re literally nothing alike
@@Spazlites I came I to this hoping for a feel kinda like 3 and 4, and every expectation has been met so far. Even lots of old tunes from games gone by included in number 7 create a nostalgic fan service of an end result, and I honestly don't think I could be happier with it.
@@thelazerproject I disagree 100%. I’m a huge GT fan and Sport was a disappointment to me. GT7 is a blast and harkens back to the glory days in my opinion. Nothing like Sport at all.
I’m really enjoying the new changes, but has that classic feel of old entries of the series. Playing on a PS4 Pro with ssd and it runs and looks beautiful!
Always online connection to play single player isn't an odd choice, it's a dumbass choice.
What's even worst are the people who enable these tactics. Many people don't realize the dangers of always-online requirements.
It's so they can eventually shut down the servers to eventually force you to buy the successor

You haven't seen how little this game has improved
Is the game competitively playable on controller ? Or a driving wheel necessary ?
Gran Turismo 7 is literally a copy/paste of Gran Turismo Sport. And it's so boring too, the only people interested in this game are boomers. Forza is a way better game
@@darkmaster2887 you bugging

Loving GT7 as a long time fan. I was skeptical at first, but I am very impressed by the upgrades they've made.
How would you say the grip at low speeds is compared to gtsport. I found low speeds wildly unrealistic, even in low powered cars you'd spin out for the slightest hesitation or power input. Also real life 0 to 60 times could not be reached because of this. I believe this is why they did rolling starts.
@@Chorongy- The handling model in 7 is night-and-day better than Sport, imo.
@@Chorongy- like comment above, handling feels very different.

*proceeds to crash into another car*
I was 12 when the first one came out and me and my lil brother adored these, we're in our 30's now and I was just telling him the other day that I was buying this and now the journey continues....only now my 13 old daughter is my designated driver, very fun game as usual, great to see the many improvements they have made. As for the mircotransactions, just progress into the cafe enough and you'll eventually unlock higher paying yet chill races! Happy racing!
I remember one of those games I can’t remember which one I played them on the first ever ps bjt the Corvette split window was the fastest car
brooooo i was 7 i think when the first one came out in 1997. So dope to see people in the same generation as I am (sorta) that grew up with this with multiple disc on PS1 lol. Insane to see the graphics and the gameplay stay on track for so long.
I played the first gran turismo on the ps1. They have come a long way. I cant wait to get my hands on it. The cool thing about gran turismo is that it puts the actual tactical nature to what real world racing is. Very very happy they kept that as a staple. Totally getting a Mitsubishi 3000 gt vr4 and rocking that!!😁
@@axemansjazz6670 I’ve got my 3000 gt from getting gold in the B license on Gt7 today. Bored the motor and got stage 2 mods, it’s pushing 345 Hp and I just started the game going against 65 Hp beetles 😂💀
Bro I haven’t played this since Ps1 days but as a 34 year old man I can legit tell you playin GT back in the day help me pass my irl driver test 😂
So nice to finally have a Gran Turismo game, not had one since 2013.
GT1 and 2 were landmark titles for me. Loved the feeling of getting an old banger from the second hand market and tuning it up, speccing it as a touring car or as a rallycross car or whatever the races required. Loved the flexibility that a single car allowed.
Only thing I hated were the license tests, they could go die in a fire. There are other skill based ways to progress that does not require shitty time trials.
Invitationals would work. Start winning a lot in your bracket and you get invited to a Qualifying Race for the next bracket up. Do well, say get a podium, to qualify. And no restart scumming; you fail and its back to grinding until you get another invite. I personally would prefer a system like that, I'm probably in the minority though.
As a long time fan of GT games (since GT2) this is surely the best ever by a country mile. It's just mindblowing the amount of features and attention to detail without cutting down on fun. It's the "one more turn" of racing games. Grinding has a very good balance, not painful anymore, and every car is very unique and thus not boring anymore by racing with Clios or a 1969 Mini! I play on PS5 (loading times almost inexistent and the most beautiful graphics and amazing 3D sound on headphones) so can't comment on PS4. Also, don't bother with buying credits with real money, you will regret it, I still have my 1.000.000 credits voucher to be redeemed and suddently I found myself with 1.000.000 in my account and plenty of cars just after 15hours playing.
I've not played GT since the PS3, and this delivered exactly what I wanted. It's a solid GT game. Excellent racing and attention to detail. Loving it.
This is basically the paragraph I was hoping to see here 😂 time to get my eye patch ready
I’m trying to decide if I should buy this. This comment sounds convincing 😂. Last one I played was GT5 on the ps3, didn’t really like the other ones much. Too different.. This one seems like they returned to that classic single player experience that I loved in GT 4 and 5.
I’ve been playing the franchise since the first Japanese release. I had sent my original PlayStation off to be chip moded so I could play Japanese titles and the original Gran Turismo was one of them. Along with the original Metal Gear Solid. Just started playing GT7 yesterday and agree that it is beautiful and should allow for hundreds of hours of challenges.
Holy nostalgia.
Thanks, man :)
Nw we need an updated version of Before You Buy for Grind Turismo 7
Really happy to see Gran Turismo back, truly missed the career mode in GT Sport and didn’t bother playing at all. While GT7 has consumed me lately, played a lot of it so far
There is actually damage in the cars in this game. You just have to really ram into something and then it's just some deformity on the car with scratches. You can't total a car but there is damage deformity.
It's probably the same situation as Forza. They're only allowed to do cosmetic damage due to the license.
there is actually a fairly decent damage model in the game, it's just that it's not active for most of the time (especially not in the standard single player career). engine can be seriously damaged, wheels, and the aero.
Couldn't find any UA-cam video showing some decent damage modeling. GT7 is a SHAME regarding this subject as all other versions in the past. A beautiful Hot Wheels simulator with a car encyclopedia embedded.
@@eflobo Too much hyperbole but there are plenty of sim games on the market.
@@eflobo the only way you will find out about the severity of damage is creating a custom race. I haven't played online lobbies yet to know if it's also there. However in single player custom races, it's an option but it's honestly pointless. Why? The ai won't crash unless you hit them or the crash because of the rain and either or won't make the race any more interesting in that regard.
Side note: the split screen players is such a waste mostly. Just rental cars and not many at all. Not even allowed to use your garage vehicles
The nostalgia from the music to the re mapped classic tracks have me playing this more than I like. Horizon and Elden Ring has taken a back seat literally in my PlayStation library!
Careful: microtransactions were made available only after the reviews.
They said about the micro transactions during the review.
What is that?
@@martinrps13 Microtransactions? When you buy a game with microtransactions it means that after purchasing the game there is even more smaller purchases that can be made. They’re fine if they’re only cosmetic though.
Even more careful, it's not a GT game, there's no real choices, you get given all the cars you need in order, handholding lasts the entire campaign
Already bought it the first night it came out. Didn't have to think twice. Amazing Game !!! driving is sick, effects are there, car history and world history is top notch. The narrating is simplistic but engaging and fun to read along without getting bored. The cars are beautiful and awards are given frequently but the racing can get difficult if you have it on master yoda level. This game is for those who appreciate racing and calmness. This is a car collectors dream
Im hoping Gran Turimo's car roster gets boosted back up to GT6 levels. I think 6 had like 1,200 cars or something. Surely more cars will come through updates to the game in the future.
So is there a career mode?
@@JAS-st6fx yes there is a full blown career mode
@@nickthompson1091 well, to be fair the 1200 was mostly the none premium cars and alot of them were variations of each other

Gran turismo 1 was the first racing game I ever played. Many years later, I’m glad we’ve got something for just about anyone. As a car enthusiast, I applaud you guys for not comparing this to Forza Horizon 5, AT ALL. Both games are beautiful and fun in their own demographic. I can’t wait for the day I get to play GT7, Horizon 5 and Motorsport (8?) on all beautifully capable machines. Console/brands aside, car enthusiasts, let’s rejoice!!!
Same here. A friend recommended to me all those years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since
I love GT7. It's exactly what I wanted it to be. The original "CaRPG", I love that you referenced the enjoyment in just browsing parts and comparing upgrades and stats.
A lot of the fun is the pre-race, just getting everything configured just right to shave those seconds off your time.

My first was Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2 and it was the first car racing game I had and I distinctly remember trying to work my way up from a PT Cruiser to a Camaro and so on. Having a PS5 and seeing GT7 I am really excited to play it and get back into it!
My first one was GT3 too,first grind was Sprinter Trueno trying to get a Lancer
This game is so addicting. Collecting cars, completing license tests, the cafe, tuning and customizing, you name it! Can't wait to get my hands on a PS5 to fully experience this game.

3. Cr costs of vehicles have been INCREASED by an OVERWHELMINGLY SIGNIFICANT amount

What do you think now?
Before you buy gran turismo, there is a lot of micros transactions that almost force you to spend real money for the car you want. The game is always online, so you never know when the server would be down. Avoid this game for now please.
The microtransaction aspect of this comment is completely false. I've put 40 hours into this game and haven’t felt "forced" to use real money once.

There’s 3 micro transactions. That’s it. And the game doesn’t force you to do anything.
@@AcidSnake87 100 percent. This person's comment is the type of comment made by someone that saw the game getting shit on for having microtransactions and joining in on it without ever having played it. At no point does the game "almost force you" to spend any money on microtransactions.
@@KZ3fps so all the players rating this game 1 out of 10 are just stupid are they? or maybe you're just a whale or a kid who doesn't how money works.
my first GT game was GT sport, but then I stared playing a little GT 4 on my grandpa's PS2. I have to say that the difference in the feel of racing from GT sport to GT7 is way better; its almost like you can feel every pebble on the road. also I like that GT7 doesn't give you everything almost right away, for example, you have access to all the tires in GT sport, but in GT7 u actually have to buy the tires from the tuning shop. i think that the new GT7 game is a great upgrade from the previous games
TBH, I was missing quite a few things from the review. Is there fuel depletion, tyre wear? Pitstops? Flags? Penalty system? What kind of multiplayer (host)options? Driver swaps? Etc
I've been playing GT since day one, if you have put time in past installments you know exactly what to expect. Personally I have enjoyed it thus far.
Jake's modified DeLorean brought a smile to my face. Menus need streamlined. Clouds could use redone, they look pretty janky for ps4 and ps5.
Always brake in a straight line.
Favorite GT car is Renault Espace f1 from GT2
I've put about 10 hours into GT7 so far and it truly is the most impressive thing I've ever encountered in my over 20 years of gaming. Hats off to Polyphony and Sony for this one.

You guys 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.
Also I love how you guys included the DeLorean in this video! It's one of my favorite features of the last four GT games just because it's a freaking DeLorean hahaha
I've been playing GT since the first one came out 25 years ago... This one did not disappoint I am totally hooked on this game. Everything is just perfect.
You need to do an update video on this one unfortunately.
4:19 FYI, there is definitely a damage factor in the game.
The amount of different cars, dynamic weather that can change the entire race in an instance - it's all amazing! I'm at Cafe 34 and I really dig this game.
In a time of "live service", no review should be final.
This review needs to be updated.
Sony/Playstation waited for these reviews, and then updated the microtransation system.
This review represents a different game, at this point.
"Game DEMANDS by the book clean racing".
>immediately hits the viper.
Also there definitely is damage, it's not super significant or realistic, but it's visible even on my ps4 pro.
I have played them all. I was over 90% complete on 3 and 4. Only about 50 on 5, but only as I got older my time for games grew shorter. I bought sport at GameStop used. I took right back that day. I didn’t realize it was all online. Now I’m a truck driver. I may not have as much time as with 3 and 4, but we have periods of boredom getting loaded or unloaded for hours. I’m going to get my newer tv mounted in my truck and get a ps5 just for this. Gran Turismo has been by far my favorite game. When I was 19 I bought a 2000 civic SI. I’ve had a built 96 ws6 Trans AM. But now my toys have gotten more expensive and faster. I have a 2017 Cadillac ATS-V. It’s a few years old now but still bad ass. I have Gran Turismo and my dad to thank for my love of fast cars. Any how have fun everybody.
I wish the ats-v was in this game, would be one of the perfect cars to feature.
Gran Turismo has one thing going for it in top class. It oozes finesse and car knowledge.
First game I’ve bought at launch in years. Game’s phenomenal so far. A huge relief given the recent record of hyped games failing terribly. Just hoping they continue to add more cars into the GT world and introduce a driver level alongside the exisiting m collection level. Those two aspects would increase the longevity of an already fantastic game.

I'd love a sports game with this level of love for the history of the subject. Like a baseball game with unlockable history bits. Playable vintage games.
Right? Something about the pixelated graphics and 90's aesthetic and music.
@@maskednil not to mention using the X button as a gas pedal seems super odd by today's standards, but it still feels weirdly natural
Start researching because it has been out of stock at Best Buy, Amazon...game stop has used copies, make sure that you have alerts set to see when GT7 comes in.
I had 1-4 and loved them! Bought sport and wasn’t a fan. Got 7 now and it feels like it’s back to #2. Love it!!!
Same I just could not get into sport this to me feels like a proper GT
Have you thought abt revising this review in light of the updates?
They reallllly need to.
Same for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
What happened?
GT WILL ALWAYS GO HARD!!! I remember doing the 300+laps races!! I won my first Race and won the F-1 Car! Brings back memories!
I’ve never played the gt series but I’m so glad I gave it a chance, the attention to detail is amazing it looks so real, the replay cutscene’s a nice touch
I've been loving GT7. The insane in-game photo mode that could rival adobe lightroom and the precision the game pushes you to get better the more you play. Polyphony added so many features to GT sport over the past few years with free cars and tracks, even an arcade mode, so I know they'll add even more to this game. Music Rally is kinda eh tbh, maybe with the addition of more music it'll be more fun, and I believe the game does a great job with allowing you to play without microtransactions. Oh it's there, and you can easily build your car compendium (think persona or pokedex) by buying the cars with real money, but it is possible to ignore microtransactions and enjoy the game as is. Finally they brought back proper car tuning and some customization options, and the livery editor is just as nuts as GT Sport, some of the stuff that is being shared in the community pages are crazy good from car liveries to suit and helmets. I am probably coming strong as a fanboy lol but I really do enjoy this game a lot as of release.
Forza is way more fun. Gran Turismo 7 is a boring car "simulator" for boomers. And it's a copy/paste of Gran Turismo Sport. You ponies sure do love to get scamed and receive garbage
@@darkmaster2887 you used boomer unironically
@@darkmaster2887 go back to forza xbox boy!
Forza Horizon 5 destroys Crap Turismo 7
I'm a long time "Gran Turismo fan,it's just a really fun nostalgic time. I just hit my ps button and jam my "Spotify through the game and enjoy the love of driving. I love it. Great video "Gameranx 🤘
Played it on release and it was extremely difficult and I was frustrated... after trying to learn it and playing alone I've learned how to handle it much better and using a wheel helped! I do believe this game is not for everyone for sure and I'm not sure if it's for me yet but I've definitely had some fun playing today. We will see how it goes!
Do the licenses. It really helps for beginners to simulation racing. Understanding the racing line, when and where to brake or throttle, and most importantly for multiplayer, learning race etiquette so you know how to race cleanly.
@@akmal94ibrahim definitely man I appreciate the advice!
Every gran truismo game has never disappointed me. My personal favorite was gran turismo 3 on the ps2.
I play alot of racing simulators, I played about 1000 hours of grand tourismo sport. Grand tourismo has never been the most realistic sim but it is always the best at being user friendly and fun. I'm excited to see where the esports scene goes for this game. My first grand tourismo game was gt5 and I still think that's the best one.
Imagine buying a full price game, and still having Microtransactions...
... *and being fine with that*
The MTX aren't bad. You can still progress through the game normally by just playing
And it being always online. So no offline single player and the game will be unplayable in +/- 5 years.
@@tilburg8683 they can patch the game at its deadline like they did with GT6 , its not that Hard, i think they made it always online because of How competitive the online races are and because of the FIA
@@jesusserrano8769 no they wont and they never patched anything in gt6 lol all online stuff is broken now, same for gt5. And drive club, they even took away cars in driveclub.
@@jesusserrano8769 also the online only is 100% due to greed. Sony has been greedy since gt5/ after gt4 and it has been showing. Gt5 is alright but the devs clearly slacked and didn't put a lot of effort in it only a fraction of the effort that got out into even gt1.
Its just so when the next game releases you'll need to buy that one just like with GT5 and GT6 (altho single player was still playable which is important) but to play with friends you had to buy the new low effort traincrash dumpsterfire game they put out.
Sony has never patched such things and never will. If they end up doing that, good they found a solution for a problem they created I guess?
I loved the old GT series, so can't wait for this 😍 🙌
Don't bother.
As someone who hasn't played since I think 3 I've been really enjoying it
I played more that 300 hours of GT7 since it came out. I have kept playing long after getting Platinum. At the moment, I am redoing all licenses, missions and Circuit Experience as the leaderboards were reset with the last patch. I only have one mission left to gold, and one Circuit Experience (Nurburgring). The constant free updates keep me coming back. I would strongly recommend this game.
When will you address the issues and the stupid decisions tha PD is taking with this game?
We need you to help us to get this sorted out, or else we are all screwed!
Microtransactions ARE RUINING this game. I'm not playing this shit until they fix it.
The highlight of my spring break so far, and looks like I will logging in 1000s of hours in this.
I love the cafe system so far and driving is great as expected. I like when these games restrict you to cars you wouldn't normally use or restrict how much power you can drive with. Really pushes your comfort zone and you can find new things you enjoy.
That’s exactly why I’m not buying it. Between that, the DRM, and micro transactions this is a hard pass.
@@bobross4886 well then you miss out on possibly the best racing game ever made then. Poor choice.
Yeah I love racing the slower lower performance stuff, you'd be shocked how poorly people race when they lose 500 to 700 horses.
@@Csilk My internet sucks. I’ve sailed these waters before unfortunately.
Only people with no driving skills dislike bop or pp regulations . Forces you to make your car faster with gears, down force , different power bands from the different turbos and super charges , toe , caster and camber etc. oh yea and proper lines , braking points and apex cutting.
I had to pull over while driving to make this comment.
DONT BUY THIS GAME
As soon as this game began public these homeless plebeians changed the economy of the game.
For example a car that’s not real use to cost 3 dollars in the other games even then that was pretty bad if you tried to collect everything BUT NOW ITS 3 million gems which is 60 AUD LMAO wtf??? Madness even if we don’t have a lot of money guys it is our duty tell all our friends and family about this crap so they don’t buy it low or in future until these people stop treating us like Dobby from harry potter
GT7 cars feel like your driving with four large passengers.
I appreciate the reviews from this channel. Doesnt worry about a score and just gives you honest opinions.
Congrats you have being selected among out shortlisted winner's Contact the number above 🎊🎉🎊👆👆👆👆.
Scores for reviews have always been meaningless. You can't boil down a game experience into a single number.
I'm glad they highlighted the mtx's. I've seen far too many people ignoring them, or excusing them because they're 'optional' time savers. The usual BS.
I watched a video where researchers compared how speed feels in a simulation (a game) depending on various factors. It turns out FOV is a big factor. High fov = high sense of speed.
My first ever GT was Gran Turismo PSP. I followed it up with GT4 once I acquired a PS2 years later and now I have almost the full series, the original still eludes me to this day
I started playing the Gran Turismo series back when I was 2 years old, playing the first game on the original PlayStation in 1997. I own every copy so far with the exception of this one. To me, this series is an iconic moment in my life and gave me the love for cars and video games in general. Racing fast down the courses, the amount of cars and things you could do with them & the graphical capabilities back then and even now blow me away. This game looks great and I cannot wait to pick it up. Now granted, the micro-transactions are optional, so I can see why people are rubbed the wrong way, but for me personally, I like to grind. I love the feeling and fun I could get by maxing out the stats for a slower vehicle and just blowing the other cars out of the water and just overall having a great time. It’s not something I could do in real life, so this is the next best thing. All in all, as a long time GT fan, I’m happy and excited for this next title! 💪🏾🏁
Dude, did you manage to finish Gran Turismo 4or are you still on the grind?
The fact alone that this is online to play only, and has micro transactions on top, gets a big no from me on buying it.
The reason being is, same with GT5 (the last one I've played because of this. And yes I own them all up to 5), the moment that Polyphony decides that the servers are down, features of the game you may enjoy are gone for good, even though you payed for them full price. On GT7, the entire game will be gone when they decide to pull the plug in a few years. So my question is, why should I pay for something that has an expiration date? I think not.
I’m not completely clear on what all needs the servers to function. Would the servers being shut down take away aspects of the single player campaign or just make it completely unplayable?
Havent played a GT since 2 back in 1998, it feels good to be back
The Gran Turismo 1 demo got me 5 and my friends really into it. I purchased the second one and 5 which was my favorite. I always get all the licenses before I start racing. I got really good at it over the years. I may a busy lifestyle,but I make time for "GT7 🏁
I only got into these games with GT Sport and I thought this one looked cool so I pre-ordered and got it a week early (thanks, Amazon), and I must say: I am hooked! Is it flashy or arcade, like the Forza games? No, but it doesn't try to be, and I've been having a lot of fun doing races and collecting and modifying cars, which is literally everything I like and expect in racing games.
Same
Same thoughts but it seems that a lot of people tend to compare this game with fh5, despite the fact that both games have different philosophies.
So many amazing GT memories, been obsessed since the multi disc original GT, I wrecked my dirt bike & was in a hospital bed at home for months, my cousin would play for hours, just the 2 of us building awesome cars
It just went on sale on the PS store today for $39 and I’ve been on the fence if I should pick this game up or not since I’ve never played a GT game. (I’m used to the Forza Horizon series) This showed me exactly what I’ll be expecting! thanks for the video Jake!
did you like it?
I’m not a car guy but I really love this series. I’m struggling at the start of this one because I’m used to getting a car after each days daily workout and my lack of knowledge hurts when deciding on upgrades. However that being said I am enjoying this current version with just a steeper learning curve than those with knowledge of cars. lol.
I never thought about that, going into GT7 knowing a lot about cars can definitely make the game easier.
Got my Ps5 on the 5th of April and it's 4:54 pm in Canada with 115 minuets until my GT7 is updated and ready to play!
My first was also Gran Turismo 2. Loved that game, but I have to say…. I’m disappointed in those micro-transactions in 7
Yeah not sure why it's there, the game throws cars and cash at you with every race won.
@@sephiroth8377 I guess $70 per customer just wasn’t enough
I've played every Gran Turismo since 2 but my favorite addition was probably in GT4 where they introduced B-Spec where you were the crew chief of the pit crew and you can let the game play and watch and make decisions when it's important on the TV, yet still watch funny youtube videos on your computer at the same time.
I watched this after I bought it, I just like to see more content on this game. Been excited for it forever.
Can you do a re-review now that they updated the game with micro transactions?
"By the book clean racing"
You're kidding right...
GT always been about side grinding and cheap tricks.
