It all depends on how the career mode is going to work. If you are forced to buy certain cars to progress and can't make free choices, I believe many of the offline players will give it a low score just because of that. If the career mode is all free choice and the menu books are not mandatory I think it will be higher. Yet if GT7 turns out to be another mental SM game, where you have to grind the same race for hours/days just because you want to buy a specific car, it will be even lower. So I'm sticking with 75 but I'm really hoping I'm wrong.

I'm guessing an optimistic 90+
It's almost unbelievable, looking back, that GT4 had a lower aggregate review score than GT3. I like a lot of things about GT3 better than GT4, but that differential makes no sense.
I'd bet that GT4 would be top of the pile if there was a broad critical re-evaluation. I think I would rank them:
GT4
GT2
GT5
GT3
GT1
GT6
GTS
My gut tells me that GT7 will be between 4 and 2 in my order.
edit: It's hard to overstate how much GT1 brought to the table for the genre, so placing it so low is probably unfair. However, I ultimately like the games above it more.

My guess is around a 88-91. The reviews around GT Sport were lukewarm due to the lack of single player content, and to a lesser extent, bad AI. GTS was praised for its graphics and GT7 should look significantly better on PS5 (see Horizon Forbidden West as an example). Seems like most casual players (who will make up a big chunk of the reviewers) will be really happy with the single player offerings this time. The only thing I see holding GT7 back from a 90+ score would be the AI, which looks hardly changed from GTS. Some outlets might be harsh about it, but I could see a lot of reviewers letting it slide.
If GT7 scores in the high 70s to low 80s then I could see things getting tense between PD and Sony. There have been reports about Sony valuing high meta scores above all else when it comes to Playstation first party games. I don't think they would let GT7 ship unless they were confident it would review well.

75-77. It will probably increase over 80 with future updates.

Most games won’t get re-reviewed based on additional content added through updates - the metascore they receive when reviews go live will probably be what the game ends up with, give or take a few points
Plus, if the score increased/changed as time went by I’m pretty sure GT Sport would’ve ended up with something higher than 75/100

88 is my guess. AI will be a bugbear along with it being an evolution of the complete version of GT Sport rather than a revolution.
For GT fans though I suspect it'll be up there with the favourites.

And you didn’t think OG GT looked realistic in 1998? What’s so laughable about that?

I don't think the review community will get the game, just like they were confused by GT Sport.
None of the harsh critics of GT Sport have improved their notions about clean racing, so I expect them to slag the Online aspect of the game for being both unfun/clean and the same as GT Sport.
Additionally, it's a racing game. Racing itself really hasn't changed since two people first raced a horseless buggy against one another, but people continually want a "revolutionary new kind of campaign mode" that has yet to really exist in any game beyond developers throwing a smattering of goofy mini-games into your usual progressive race campaign structure.
The weird AI braking and driving lines from the preview footage also don't bode too well for the Campaign mode. Without any real breakthroughs on AI drivers, the races are going to feel the same as any arbitrary list of tracks and race conditions.
For me, new tracks, new cars, and dynamic weather bootstrapped onto GT Sport are already a 10/10 for me but I can't see this game getting beyond an 80 unless I'm severely wrong about anything I just stated.

I voted in the range of 85-89 so I can count myself as being correct

I think it is time to bump this thread, rather than to make a new one
Yesterday, on Metacritic the user score rating for GT7 dropped significantly. I remember seeing 5.4
Today, at the time of writing this, it is down to 3.0
1,958 negative, 118 mixed and 685 positive
Most of the recent ratings are over the last 24 hours or so, with a score of zero.
I wonder if Sony and PD care about this, and if they do, if this will make them reconsider their plans
I also wonder if this will impact future GT games?

Metacritic scores mean nothing to me after the recent events, it literally cannot be taken seriously.
