Gran Turismo 7 Review: Return of the King

[TypeRDC5]

Now that is a well written review 👏

Looking forward to game even more now.

@Jordan

Very good review !

I have a question : there are championships or endurance races ?

Thank you in advance

No sign of endurance races but championships are there and prominently featured. I just wish there were even more of them!

@Jordan what about the multiplayer penalty system? From what I saw it looks like the GTS one, so pretty bad, no penalties for contact etc.

I didn't have a chance to participate in any of the scheduled online race sessions they had, so I can't speak on that part yet.

Awesome review Jordan, thank-you for the effort you have gone to. I was going to leave it a while before purchasing but I may have to think a bit more about that. As a PS4 Pro owner I’m delighted with how the game has landed, no huge compromises to put up with vs PS5.

Thank you, and yes, you'll be very happy with the PS4 Pro version.

Absolutely fantastic read.

So how come you could judge multiplayer for 5 stars out of 5? Oh I know, because you judge features and not the actual game. Fantastic...

 

[Nourman5]

In GT SPORT there was an option where you could use the controller as a steering wheel. Is it still present in GT7?

 

[georgetigra]

The biggest question:
Does have engine swap?

 

[zeptrans]

oooooooohh... I have to prepare myself to endure the longest day and weekend of the year

OK, tomorrow I will spend my day with my controller, just to find the perfect handling with it. Then, dinner with my TV. And finally, sleep with my PS5...
shhhhhhh GT7, I'm just here, don't be nervous, I checked my best pillows, I can sit with you for a long time.

Yes GT7, I'm ready to the date. I'm only sad you're a digital version, my bed humm...library was spacious enough to receive you.

PS: Thanks to the review

Thanks for the article now it's even harder to wait until Friday hahaha

That's correct, it's a score for the available features, not the experience. It's clear GT7's online components are from GT Sport.

In GT SPORT there was an option where you could use the controller as a steering wheel. Is it still present in GT7?

Yes, I believe I saw that option.

The biggest question:
Does have engine swap?

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, if the feature is there, I wasn't able to figure out how to actually do it.

 

[zzz_pt]

Best review. Fact.

 

[Stephan]

As expected from Jordan great review and its something I have been looking forward to the moment he got a review copy.

 

[RaY29rus]

This game seems like a dream come true. Why did I think a month would be enough to find a PS5

 

[VincentVendetta]

Return of the king? More like...

Regarding the game throwing too many cars, aren't that a case in previous games too? The first events will also give prize cars. GT7's prize cars seem to be like GT2 though, some single events have it but some other single events don't.

Interesting review, thanks. So it's pretty much all good, except for the disappointing AI.

More like a case of unfinished game as Sophy isn't implemented.

Wow and I actually thought I would be buying this one... Not gonna bother with chase the rabbit, etc.

Maybe in a future update with Sophy implemented, but I doubt they will update the career with it.

There's this:

Best way to check is probably with the VW beetle I guess

 

[mokalovesoulmat]

Great review. And anyway, it is still fine to use "artificial-intelligence". It is still AI no matter how dumb they are.

Current era AI that we often hear right now has machine learning scope in the back. And this is where Sophy goes.

Is this career? It doesn't change much if the AI is as slow as a turtle.

 

[Magog]

So the one real complaint is the AI and Sony are hard at work on that. Excellent review.

 

[o000o]

Is this career? It doesn't change much if the AI is as slow as a turtle.

Yes it's Career. It's written "Clubman Cup Plus" smh.

And no for this one. The AI in that race is also livelier.

Though for this, there'd be chilis in the event menu (for this race, there's 4).

 

[RikkiGT-R]

Disappointed, yet not surprised, by the rubbish AI.
Still desperate to get my hands on it now, as long as I can win credits, buy cars, do license tests, modify cars, win more credits, buy more cars and on and on... I'm a happy bunny.

 

[Aloha62_2]

The single player sounds very disappointing, going to skip this as I did sport. Maybe it will be worth buying in a year or two after updates.

 

[Strittan]

Great review. It made the wait all the more painful. 34 hours to go!

 

[Streeto]

So the AI is still terrible?

Weren't they bragging about a whole new AI system? 😂

It's a shame, the rest of it looks top marks.

Sadly, I don't think I can justify hundreds of £'s on a new console just for one game, so I won't get to play this one for a while.

Actually, I don't know why I'm even here. 🤷‍♂️

 

[SomeGamer2021]

Very well-put review, @Jordan! I enjoyed reading every part of it. I might've been hit by the hype of the review and might've went too fast but... is there engine swaps and drivetrain swaps?

 

[Rotax2020]

So my feeling was right: The hard censoring of leaked gameplay could be due to the slow AI.

Sad that they didnt improve this.
