Hello all.
I am relatively new to the GT Series. Started with GTSport years ago, I was very fascinated by the games physics, and cars. And there was a GT3 Endurance Cup with 6 one hour races.... It's been fun to load the, back then, Blancpain Series liveries and compete vs Champions like Garage59, WRT, HRT, GRT, AFCorse...
When I bought GT7 last year, I was shocked! 5 years of development, and the game looks very similar, just s little bit improved. I wanted to drive the GT3 Endurance races again, and here we go with the next big disappointment: one race, with that nice Potential of that 24h time with sunset and sunrise, wow. But just one race. The same old GT3 cars I used to race in GTSport back in the day... I have to use the same cars again. With way less modes, races and payouts... Wow. I mean there a zero excuses for that. Not when almost every other game got at least a few newer cars, even older games... I am 42 years old and bought so many different racing games. Never seen a game with that big potential, burning everything completely down by being greedy. Let's be honest. They just want the maximum profit and won't pay too much for licences. Or time to let the user create his own 24h races with qualifying... Or just deliver at least some more for the player.
Let's be honest, Ferrari was able to built couple of new models, sell them, Customer Teams drove them for some seasons, then retire the model and release another, and so on. And still, couple of Ferraris later, GT7 is still running with that 458, released ten years ago... TEN! It looks similar with the McLaren, it's already the second generation of 720S GT3 that is competing in the real world. We still run with the exact same car like in GTSport. No street or race car been added here... The list would be very long.
I read about FIA dropping GT7 from their eSports Events, to use a game realesed FOUR years earlier: Assetto Corsa Competizione. That's embarrassing!!!
But I tried it because it really hurt to pay so much money for a game (my son, 9 years old likes to play too) that offers almost the same cars and tracks, just 5 years later.
To be honest... My son and me fell in love with Assetto Corsa Competizione. Actually you can even play the real 2023 season with Garage59 in a 720S GT3 EVO (exactly, the new Evo is in their five year old game... And not only that) or the new Porsche or Ferrari, you do qualifications, Endurance championships, and you can customize seasons and do own 24h races and stuff.... And because it's a straight GT3, official GTWC game, focused on fewer cars it's very cheap compared to GT7.
I almost quit playing GT7 recently. Checking the new updates and being very disappointed every month. Looks like every update is just a bigger disappointment. I mean, last month, music rally????
I feel fooled and want my money back, that's my opinion of a game that could be so great but playing it for a while makes it boring. Realising that greedy approach made me stop playing it.
Let's be real. The only reason they have the most outdated car list of all games, despite being the newest one of them all, is that they don't want to pay too much for licences. Compare to the price the game and in-game cars have, it feels like they robbed me.
I definitely won't buy another GT game from PD.
My opinion.
