I have to say I'm really not impressed with the game at all graphically on PS5.
Definitely not the semi photo realistic look I hoping for during races.
I don't see any reason for this not having been avaliable on the day the system launched.

I also don't like being limited to right hand wheeled cars that are avaliable in North America as left wheeled. You should be able to buy a conversion kit in the tuning shop.

Finally added a third race to Sport and it's BoP, but looks like the the leaderboard is dominated by a Vision car. These idiots can't get anything right.

Edit:. Supposedly the second best time in the McLaren they were able to glitch in upgrades on the car lol

u2popmofo if you get time. Gives you the cons and seems pretty accurate as to some of the things I noticed. Though I give the score higher than his 6/10. One thing you will see in the video is that reviewers didn't have access to DLC/Store/MTX, so they were not aware of those prior to their reviews. Sony held back those sections in the review copies they gave out.

I'm just glad I waited. Saved me money.

I agree that it's very much over hyped and any reviewer who gave the game a 10/10 should never be allowed to review a game again.
I went back and played Driveclub this weekend and found it to have been a better game overall at the end of its life. The graphics were far better and the handling, while slightly less realistic was far, far more fun. There were also more and better camera views in Driveclub.
Graphics in GT7 are lifeless. The Cafe is stupid. Music is lousy and sound effects are "meph" at best.
The one thing they did well is the variety of mods and tuning avalible.
Overall I'd give GT7 a "6.5/10".

I would also rate the most recent editions of Forza games as vastly superior.

Welp. I caved.
I think I bought GT Sport like three different times and it just never clicked with me.

But so far, I'm liking this so much more.

I do obviously see the GT Sports roots in the visuals. But I still think it's clean, beautiful and smooth though.

Maybe I just have my blue goggles on today?

Yeah, update 1.07 has really nerfed the credits making you grind more. Here is the 1.07 patch info too:


A new update has arrived for Gran Turismo 7, largely aimed at addressing a number of early bugs and glitches as well as adding a broadcast mode.

Update (1230UTC): Official Gran Turismo channels report that “an issue” has been found in the 1.07 update, resulting in prolonged server maintenance. That means that, other than Music Rally and custom races in whatever World Circuits you have already unlocked, GT7 is currently inaccessible — and no progress can be saved.

While content updates will be coming to GT7, today’s v1.07 patch doesn’t bring any new cars, tracks, or races. It comes in at 385MB on PlayStation 5 and fixes several issues to do with game progression, including a glitch introduced in v1.06 which saw players given the wrong tires for certain single-player challenges.

That will come as good news to players who were struggling through some of the licences, missions, and circuit experience tests, particularly those on dirt surfaces with cars using road tires. Drifting and wet weather events were also affected, but this should now be remedied.

Other bugs addressed include an issue where vehicle settings would not save, and a game crash that could occur whenever the player bought or won a car.

Slightly less welcome news is an adjustment to race prize values in World Circuit events. While this does change a couple of the events for the better — the clearly incorrect 5,000cr first-place prizes in a couple of the WTC800 events have been brought in line with more reasonable rewards for sibling events — it also dramatically blunts some of the most effective money-making methods in the game.

Front and center of this is the top-earner, the Dirt Champions race at Fishermans Ranch, which sees payouts cut by more than half. That still makes it the quickest method in the game, but at close to 850,000cr per hour it’s now far less efficient than before.

Other top earners have also seen the rewards cut too, with High Speed Ring, Special Stage Route X, Goodwood, and even Alsace Village races less effective than pre-patch.

One boost for streamers is the addition of “Broadcast Mode”. This mode, which can be enabled through the sound settings, removes all music tracks which could trigger automated copyright claims from services like YouTube. With Broadcast Mode on, players can stream gameplay without having their videos taken offline due to background music.
