Yeah, it looks fine. I don't understand people creaming for the visuals. Looks fine.
Took a few pics this morning when I woke up. Finished my License B test and I have 3 menus done so far.
I really wish they had a demo. I'd really like to try out the driving physics before putting down all that cash. Things looked a little twitchy in the videos I've seen. Did they improve the issues from GT Sport where you'd have grip, grip, until you didn't and then the car just was gone?
The aspect ratio makes it look like the top and bottom were clipped, maybe. Could also have a HUDless mode? Idk, lol...
I agree. It looks very nice to me, and you still can't top GT's cars or materials. Their weather system looks great too. I love the dynamic clouds and stuff- it's not done like that many places. It makes me wonder what Forza is going to do on that end...
They start you in the Music Rally before you do anything in the game. The music rally is pretty cool actually, if you are a fan of the old racing games from the 80s. You get an arcade vibe as you keep having to trigger check points every 30 seconds or so, with cool music playing as you do it. Some may find it, mmmm, a bit casual or cheesy? But personally I think it's rather fun. But I didn't make all the checkpoints in time in the first music rally because I was dinking around in the options menu when I was on it.
$214 for some of the cars.
Not a concern for me, but there isn't any offline option:

While many games feature some sort of online component these days, players tend to expect their single-player experiences to be left intact when playing offline, but such is not the case with Polyphony Digital's huge new racer, Gran Turismo 7. In playing the game ahead of launch, we've found that nearly the entire game is made unavailable when playing offline. In fact, the game is whittled down to little more than a demo mode if you're not connected to the internet while playing.
Gran Turismo 7 features a great number of modes and experiences, and all but one of them, World Circuits, is made unavailable if you play GT7 without an internet connection. This is something Sony detailed last fall, when series creator Kazunori Yamauchi said most of the game needs to be played online "to prevent cheating overall from people trying to modify the save data."
World Circuits is meant to be the game's story mode, but even that is diluted to what could reasonably be called an in-store demo, the likes of which you'd find at a Best Buy or Target. Progression markers such as credits and XP do not carry over when you race offline in World Circuits, and you're stuck choosing from the same 13 cars and 16 tracks with no way to unlock more unless you go online.
All other content, meanwhile, is totally unavailable without the internet. Alongside the obvious lack of multiplayer racing, this includes modes and features such as:
The expansive world of GT7 shrinks without an internet connection.
For most players, this DRM-like approach is probably going to be fine anyway--most players staying up to date with games are playing online, after all--but note that if you're planning to play offline by choice or by, say, internet outage down the line, you're likely better off playing something other than Gran Turismo 7.
In our Gran Turismo 7 review in progress, Alex Goy said "It plays as close to driving a real car as you can get on a console, and much like shaving a few seconds off your commute, or playing on your favorite road in the real world, the game draws you in with challenges, physics, and luscious visuals."
Gran Turismo 7 Must Be Played Online For Virtually All Content
Take note before you buckle up, you'll need to be online to play Sony's big racer.By Richie B and Mark Delaney on March 3, 2022 at 12:25PM PST

Stayed up a little late last night just to give it a try. Only played until I unlocked the third cafe menu thing.
I could be wrong but I think FM 8 might be going the live service route.
Yea I fell asleep playing an online game with a friend one time. He was yelling in the mic at me to wake me up.I guess I was tired. I left work early today to play this some more. I was sitting on my couch just now racing on Brands Hatch. I fell asleep while racing. My car hit the rumble strip and the controller vibrated and woke me up
