Gran Turismo 7 is a game with an exquisite and addictive experience thanks to the support of DualSense and Tempest 3D Audio Tech. Following Gran Turismo Sport’s disappointment, Polyphony regained his throne.

Gran Turismo 7 is a game for everyone: the racing enthusiasts, the novices, and anyone in between. It celebrates car culture and history within the confines of a driving experience, explaining how the automobiles you race past the chequered flag fit into the wider world.
There’s never been a game quite like it before: Gran Turismo 7 means more than just racing. It’s something that matters; something that warrants appreciation and respect just as much as it hands it out itself.- All this publication’s reviews

Gran Turismo 7 offers a great variety of cars, tracks and locations in glorious detail. It takes quite a long time to unlock it all though. The campaign has been replaced by menus in the cafe, but still requires (too) many activities before the entire game is unlocked and everything is available. However, what IS available is of the highest standards.

Gran Turismo 7 is a real return to the series’ roots, one that fans have been waiting for.
It brings together within it the multi and community aspect of GT Sport while rediscovering the “RPG of the racing game” aspect of the first four opuses with a well-structured and scalable GT mode. The driving is both technical and accessible, benefiting from great precision which offers a good margin of progress. 420 vehicles, 90 tracks on 34 circuits and mission and license modes for those who like small challenges, it promises a phenomenal lifespan to all car simulation fans. Although we would have appreciated a less plan-plan artificial intelligence, GT7 regains its acclaim to once again become The Complete Real Driving Simulator that we have always loved.- All this publication’s reviews

Gran Turismo 7 is a saint without miracles and has Lewis Hamilton, Igor Fraga and another legion of professional players as apostles.
With an iconic Formula 1 driver and the Brazilian Gran Turismo Sport world champion advocating in its favor, who would I be to say a single word against this title? Well, I have several words for what Gran Turismo could do to be a better racing game, but nothing that could tarnish the reputation of this letter to motorsport fans. It’s a game with impeccable gameplay, incredible graphics, and makes an ode to the history of motorsport, with the potential to suck up thousands of hours of gameplay (playing alone or online), this year and beyond. If you’re a fan of racing games, you won’t regret playing it and having it in your collection. Perhaps my biggest mistake was creating expectations for this title. I swore that this was the ideal time for the Gran Turismo series to go back to being revolutionary as it was in the past, but Kazunori Yamauchi chose to just follow the teachings of your old testament.- All this publication’s reviews

If you can suffer through the clunky menus, endless dull dialogue and 100 visits to the cafe, then there’s an excellent racing game somewhere hidden in Gran Turismo 7.
It’s baffling that the game does its best to impede you from getting to the track, but when you actually get there, there’s a lot of fun to be had.- All this publication’s reviews

This is more of a honest review, for someone who has play a GT game before, but not a huge fan of the series.
Pros
-Game looks amazing onThis is more of a honest review, for someone who has play a GT game before, but not a huge fan of the series.Pros
-Game looks amazing on the PS5
– Controls are very good and responsive, and supports different control layouts and drive wheels
– Did not run into any glitches/bugs
– Very accessible in terms of having easy modes and assist like automatic breaking
– Hardly any load times on the PS5
– This is a surprising aspect, but I actually like the photo/camera mode, I generally find these modes as more gimmicks are just whatever who cares, but it’s actually well designed where you can take well timed photos of your races. Like a good example would be crossing the finish line.
– Music is great, love the classical music, and the intro was smartly done
– Always liked having to unlock cars, instead of having most readily availableCons
– A few too many clicks/menu screens to get to the next race, although not a huge deal considering the PS5 has basically no load times, but this could of been condensed/designed better.
-loooool we gonna really use stock photos for characters with no voice acting. come on now I mean I get the idea but they could of designed like actual characters that you talk to for the story mode.
– very small complaint but very odd choice that you cannot skip the intro of the game which is several minutes long, and you have to go into settings to make it where it doesn’t play each time you load the game.Overall, it’s what I expecting, and that’s what I wanted. Ignore the negative reviews as those are just stupid or they have never played a GT game before and have unrealistic ideas of what this game was supposed to be.

Gran Turismo 7 review: there’s still nothing quite like it

Gran Turismo 7 returns to the series’ roots

The best entertainment of 2022
At any given point in time, a Gran Turismo game may or may not have the best graphics, the most cars, or the most accurate physics of any console racing game. It’ll also never compete on the same terms as hardcore racing simulators on the PC. But the one thing Gran Turismo will always be is the most Gran Turismo game around.
The latest game in the series, Gran Turismo 7, is a full-blown celebration of that intangible, inimitable vibe. Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi, who directs and produces the Gran Turismo games, is a man who knows what he likes: smooth jazz, precise typography, gorgeous travel photography, and informative explanations of the history of automotive sport. Gran Turismo 7 puts the focus back on this unmistakable aesthetic — and is all the better for it.
While this is the seventh numbered Gran Turismo game and the eighth mainline entry in the series, it feels like the first one in a long time that hones in on the early games’ fundamental appeal. Gran Turismo Sport for the PlayStation 4 was a good game, but it focused on competitive online racing more than the single-player experience. The PS3 entries Gran Turismo 5 and 6 variously suffered from technical issues, convoluted menus, and the inclusion of many lower-quality car models that had been lifted directly from the PS2 games.
Gran Turismo 7 immediately rectifies these problems. Following a lengthy and gloriously self-indulgent opening sequence, you’re placed at the world map and told to visit a cafe. There, you’re told, you’ll receive “menu books” that instruct you to collect a certain assortment of cars like stamps to get a free coffee. These open tasks are then highlighted on the world map; place high in the races and you can move onto a new menu book and learn more about your new cars, fail and you’ll need to tune your vehicles, grind races to buy more, or just work on your driving skills.
License tests serve as a way to help you with the latter, but they also unlock more types of events once you pass enough of them.
Cafe theme aside, this was basically how the original Gran Turismo worked back in 1997. This classic “car-PG” structure isn’t exactly everyone’s cup of coffee; like an RPG that has you fighting rats in sewers for several hours before you get to take on a dragon, performance car enthusiasts who pick up Gran Turismo 7 will have to grind through countless races in affordable hybrid cars before they’re allowed behind the wheel of something more exciting.
As far as I know, there are no packed race tracks anywhere in the world that actually play host to these dramatic battles between Honda Fit drivers, but that’s part of Gran Turismo’s fantasy. The Pokémon games present a world where everyone you’ll ever talk to has nothing to say about anything but Pokémon; likewise, in Gran Turismo everyone is a race driver whether they own a McLaren or a Mini.
That relatability is key to Gran Turismo’s appeal. You’ll start in the career mode racing and upgrading vehicles that you could conceivably own yourself, learn more about them along the way, and appreciate the achievements in design, handling, and performance when you’re able to drive something more advanced (and expensive). I am really not a car enthusiast myself, but I do have a lot of experience driving rented Toyota Aquas to Costco on the Tokyo Expressway, which is replicated in Gran Turismo 7 to gorgeous effect. This baseline relationship with driving is all I need for Gran Turismo 7’s career mode to feel rewarding and aspirational.
You don’t even have to have driven a car before to appreciate the incredible attention to detail. It’s not going to convert fans of more detailed sims like iRacing or Assetto Corsa, but it does a wonderful job of feeling realistic and accessible at the same time, with meaningful differences between vehicles and environments.
The weather effects in particular are very noticeable — if it’s raining, you can feel the difference in traction when you drive through a puddle or exit from a tunnel.
Part of this is down to the remarkable implementation of haptic feedback on the PS5’s DualSense controller. A wheel and pedals will always be the optimal way to play a game like Gran Turismo, of course, but this is by far the most satisfying controller experience I’ve had with a vaguely realistic racing game, and it’s the best showcase for the DualSense I’ve yet to see. The vibrations in the controller do a convincing job of simulating various surfaces, conditions, and degrees of traction, while the triggers increase resistance based on your vehicle’s capabilities. You can even feel the pressure release in anti-lock brake systems.
Gran Turismo 7 also makes the most of the PS5’s internal hardware. You get crisp 4K visuals and 60fps performance, with an optional 30fps ray-tracing mode for replays.
I was impressed with the graphics but more so with the load times, which are virtually non-existent — moving around the menus is extremely responsive, loading a new track takes just a few seconds, and restarting a race or license test is instantaneous, with the smoothness only marred by an oddly high number of typos in the interface. That’s a big change from earlier Gran Turismo games, which often looked equally sleek on the surface but didn’t have the performance to back it up.
Gran Turismo 7 will not be for everyone. You might find the structure to be plodding and grindy and the game design to be conservative, or wonder why Polyphony continues to refuse to add user-friendly options like the rewind system from Forza Motorsport. And hey, not everyone likes jazz and coffee. If you do vibe with Gran Turismo, though, this is a heck of a Gran Turismo.
Racing games don’t get the attention that they used to. I was recently talking to a colleague who is, let’s say, considerably less advanced in years than me and didn’t realize that new Gran Turismo games used to be genuine blockbuster events.
But I still remember getting the original PS1 release along with the just-launched DualShock controller for my birthday as a kid — it felt like a monumental advancement in racing games.
Gran Turismo 7 is the most fun I’ve had with the series since that moment because it plays to its traditional strengths, improves those where it can, and ignores absolutely everything else.
Gran Turismo 7 is out for PS5 and PS4 on March 4th.

Along with the lifting of the review embargo on Gran Turismo 7 , technical tests of the project appeared on the network.
One of these videos was recorded by channel ElAnalistaDeBits , comparing the graphics and speed of the car simulator on all consoles with patch 1.04 .
- Plays in 1080p at 60fps on base PS4 and 1800p at 60fps on PS4 Pro.
- The PS5 version offers 2160p 60fps Performance and 2160p 30fps Quality with ray tracing.
- In the latter case, ray tracing is only applied to reflections in the photomode, as well as when watching races with a cinematic camera in replays and in some in-game menus. The gameplay in both modes is identical.
- Load times are around 40 seconds on PS4 / PS4 Pro, while racing takes less than 2 seconds on PS5.
- PS5 has better draw distance, geometry, shadow/shading filtering, and more vegetation and audience.
- DualSense Gamepad Realization conveys the feel of the road, shifting and pedaling through tactile feedback.
- Frame rates have been tested on all three consoles under the most challenging conditions – on 20-car tracks with rain or under high graphic load. None of the consoles in this scenario were able to maintain a constant 60 frames per second, but overall performance is at an acceptable level.
