An Utter Failure In Game Design || Gran Turismo 7's Singleplayer

[@siloPIRATE]

You didn't even get into the lack of AI, standing starts, qualifying, starting grids. Things that are important to motorsport

[@AnthroGearhead]

Oh crap, I forgot about these

[@StephenSingleton3]

When GT changed to the rolling start and took out qualifying it felt odd to me. Still stayed with the series, but damn actually starting a race from the start line would be nice.

[@De_kaid]

barely scratched the always online too... same dude who made a video about how game preservation is in danger, but I guess a half assed offline patch will be good enough lol

[@siloPIRATE]

@@De_kaid GT Sport got an offline patch so maybe GT7 will too

[@De_kaid]

@@siloPIRATE Yes, a half baked one with most the features missing, LAN play is still only an option on a jailbroken ps4 lmao

[@joelsimkins1248]

The worst part about this is that GT7 drives SO WELL.

[@EmoDKTsuchiya]

Seriously it's a damn travesty

[@mro9466]

GT is one of the rare racing games where driving with a gamepad feels just as good as driving with a wheel. They nailed the calibration for the gamepad. You feel in total control, you feel every nuance. Yet they fuck up by not giving us a satisfying single player experience

[@HDsharp]

@@mro9466 but the whole point of driving games is you want to compete and test your skills with other real drivers online not with bots or AI cars.

[@udontknowme1654]

​@@HDsharpsometimes it's best to play with AI just to chill without dealing with those rookie rammers online

[@EmoDKTsuchiya]

@@HDsharp maybe that's the point for you. The beauty used to be that you would get the choice to play GT however you wanted to and not feel like they chose one over the other.

How tf do you mess up single player for a car racer

[@Cade_Rufus]

Gotta love the mentality of "everything should be live service!"

[@Jakereisman11111]

The fact that some form of long term monetization has to be put in for the publishers to flip a profit

[@andreasmoller9798]

Every racer nowdays has sadly made a bad single player.

[@benn87]

Unfortunately, this has been the case in many games in recent years. But especially racing games. Everything is largely designed for multiplayer and we single players are left out in the cold.

[@SD-mi2vc]

Ask unbound.

[@yourtubisfilled7164]

Recently jumped in, bought a PS5(pro) just for it even. And the game design of the single player is indeed beyond atrocious and frustrating. **smashes skip conversation repeatedly** They only had to copy GT4 instead of shoehorning you into a linear progression with forced dialogue and prerendered movie clip obstacles. And what is up with being locked out of playing certain daily missions when you don't have a certain collector level yet? The driving, the cars and the tracks are great thankfully. Personally I like the long-term incentives to collect special cars though. Games that give you all that you want too quickly get very boring fast.

[@hskcris]

I dont think Kazunori wanted the players not to grind, I think he wanted the players to just buy the cars with real life money so that they dindt needed to grind. The world is lost...

[@StephenSingleton3]

That’s how I took those quotes myself.

[@Ben-Rogue]

This has clearly been the intent since GT5 introduced paid currency. The grind (without exploits) makes it essentially impossible to afford any of the more expensive vehicles. The online events in GT7 are the only real way to earn good money legitimately (if you're a decent driver), but they'll be gone once GT8 comes around.

[@hskcris]

@@Ben-Rogue I have never played or buyed those games, but thats just sucks. I really hate how industries have been going in the direction of microtransactions. But with gamepass and others game streaming is something that is necessary for some studios. Or not, I dont know.

[@stormchasingk9]

I had a PS1 when I was a teen. Gran Turismo was a breath of fresh air and Gran Turismo 2 was near perfect for its time. Gran Turismo 3 is why I bought a PS2. Gran Turismo 5 would be why I purchased a PS3. Sadly, the series was on a down-fall and I had no reason to buy a PS4 or a PS5. The thing that kills Gran Turismo for me is its own creators double-talk and Sony's microtransaction influence. Even worse, is that Microsoft would see this and STILL fuck-up Motorsport 2023. Sony presented a bar so low and Microsoft decided to trip over it instead of releasing a good game. -sigh- These developers really should look to the past and see what made previous entries so much fun.

[@ThunderousFolf]

That's what I've heard/seen others say, that the devs should look back to the previous games to see what made them so fun. It definitely feels like Polyphony Digital and Sony have both forgotten what made Gran Turismo so popular and beloved in the past. I hadn't even thought of the potential for Forza Motorsport to steal the show, but now that you mention it, Microsoft fumbling so hard like that is crazy to think about. Like you said, the bar was low and yet Motorsport still was a disaster.

[@FH4Player6397]

GT4 was the last perfect GT. GT5 was the start of the downfall of GT

[@Sarvets]

The game has custom races and i feel like thats a highly underated feature. Once you have the cars and tracks you want, its where the fun is. I feel like anyone focused on grinding is gonna hate this game no matter how it plays.

[@Knibal999]

I've played all Gran Turismo games except for the first one. All in all, I've sunk about 3 to 4 thousand dollars in games, consoles, tv's and peripherals, I've spent thousands of hours in game, year after year. Only in GT7, I've already clocked over 800hrs. Yes it's a crappy economy. They should address that. I've up to this point, about 93% of all cars in GT7 in my garage. The ones I still have not bought are mostly the Vision GT cars, and some others. The problem with the values assigned to every car in the game are such that I created a spreadsheet, to try and tally how many more times I'd have to grind Le Man's in order for me to collect every single car. This was when my collector level was 50+ and already had like 400+ cars. I would need to win on Le Man's around 267 times more. And that's still not mentioning the wrath inducing invitation system to buy these special cars. That should be eliminated. It's too akin to gambling. Japanese, asians in general are more accustomed to the idea of gambling since they're surrounded by pachinko machines. I've seen asian peers pour thousands of dollars into a pachinko machine. This is something that is culturally so different here in the west. Gambling is an adult pastime. Gran Turismo is a game series children play. Also, for a race gaming series, with emphasis on the variety of racing, they sure are ignoring the endgame economy. As of right now, and in fact ever since IDK, a year and a half ago, with one update or the other, there are four main grinding races. Le Sarthe WTC700, Tokyo WTC600, Sardegna WTC800 and Spa WTC800. And since the clean race bonus is a must if you do not want to waste your time and earn the most money, I recommend Le Man's, IDK if it's bugged on purpose to not remove the clean race bonus unless you overtake during a yellow flag, that's it. Still, I'd rather be racing in Nürburgring, but the payout is never enough so I don't do it. It has gotten to the point I'm confident in my ability to run the Le Man's race while sleeping. So yes, in my humble opinion, as long as they eliminate the loot boxes that are the tickets, the roulette's, address the endgame economy by assigning better prizes for winning, maybe a multiplier based on the distance or time difference between you and the nearest competitor, and doing so in the other iconic circuits. Mainly Nürburgring, Laguna Seca, Deep Forest, hell, for all I care, they should never take away from the game, but only add to it. Over the years, excellent tracks like Midfield Raceway have been lost from the game, and these are choices made by the game director and producer. Where's my Tommykaira ZZII? Just saying. They bring 6 different but very similar models of Mitsubishi Evolution, which is one of the cars I love, but then, the car oddities are forgotten. Where are my Lotus Elise? Oh, you couldn't secure the rights, well, there are Tesla in game, why not the Tesla Roadster? And what's with the livery editor not allowing for partial application of the CF "paint"? It has to be on all the car or nothing. I can work around the issue with decals, but, it sure is exhausting. Also, I should be able to just select a part of the chassis and have it and only it covered with a vinyl decal, or paint for that matter, but on the game, cars are sectioned strictly in body, body 2 (which should be just hood), side mirrors, spoiler and other. The others take you. Should I want to only select the door, that should be it. Or the hood, or the trunk.

[@RustyJoe117]

The cafe menus works as a separate tutorial or car collector mode. The problem is the lack of a real career mode or the true and tested GT league. They already had the one from GT sport. They could have used that as a base and expended and added upon that but that actually takes some work. Lack of B spec mode also lets not forget that. Like everything that was introduce in previous GT games was thrown out for this one, either by design or complete incompetency

[@MorrWorm8]

Honestly though. Not defending PD by any means. Don’t even get me started on R* or EA. It seems as if all AAA title games etc have gotten so greedy. They have truly put money over players. The corporate world has taken control. I just feel sorry for the Devs & gamers overall

[@TheFalconerNZ]

I have heard this is the result of end stage capitalism where making value for money quality products is no longer profitable so companies need to squeeze the last dollars from consumers with tactics like microtransactions, Pay to Play monthly fees & Pay to Win. But we are seeing this for what it is & a kick back is coming which must restore better game design & play, we just have to fight for it & wait.

[@DonaldVale]

I am seeing small hints from rockstar that they're improving themselves. Oof.

[@JojjeN300]

Since I started playing GT2 late 90s GT have been close to the only racing game i played. GT3,GT4 amazing. GT7 could and should have been the masterpeace of the series, but Kaz and PD made it the worst ever. To be honest i dont think they can make a good single player GT anymore.

[@Hexearth]

I got the Peugeot rally car 2 menus before it was required. I got it the same day twice. Then I proceeded to give it away, unaware that you only got your money back when you unlocked the car valuation. When I unlocked it, the same Peugeot was worth / *drumroll* / 1.2 million credits. I could’ve gotten a Porsche 918 for that price, but I never knew because of a terrible game mechanic.

[@WPR_SpeedKilz85]

My 4 main problems with GT7 are these: 1. The ridiculous low amount of money you earn for a race and especially sport mode races. 2. The way that the car manufacturers and brands are jumbled up together and one single menu like putting fanatec on their making it look like a car manufacturer when it's nothing more than a page. 3. The Way polyphony digital completely done away with my force feedback during the update 1.50 on my g932 wheel. 4 and this one is the most annoying of all is that when you are driving using the chase cam everything is moving by so slow even if you're doing 200 plus miles per hour or whether you're doing just 40 mph the screen moves at the same exact pace.

[@junkaname6900]

Dude you and Roffle nailed the game issues at pinpoint accuracy, i played since the very first one on the PS1 days, and you summarize GT7: drives and feels good at any track (fictional or not), but the endless grind and low payouts (a million/h) isn´t enough to get that 20 mil cars (some are op af on sp races), i´ve every car in the game but i played since day one (midnight release), and nowhere near i´m restarting that, old GT´s i still play the heck of it because fun and progression lol.

[@iyevice849]

GT 3 & 4 are the best. Maybe 5, too)

[@FURYBrenton]

I noticed you didn’t show your progression on the dashboard. Would you mind doing that?

[@omarshaikh5455]

As for the in-game money, I basically run the Spa 1-hour race. The prize for first place is 1 million CR. And by driving cleanly, I can get 1.5 million CR. Repeat this multiple times and you can have enough money to buy that high end ride. It worked for me and I bought the McLaren F1 GTR of 1997.

[@100percentMozarella]

From my experience its almost impossible to not get a clean driving bonus lol, I've had races where I've been spun out by AI or the other way around, smashed into the back of other cars, cut pit lanes with multiple penalties and I still get away with the bonus somehow

[@TygonBC]

That's still 13-14 hours of grinding the same event. I guess if you enjoy it and spend a ton of time on GT7, all power to you but for a lot of people that's a heck of a grind, and for just one of the unicorn cars. Without checking I'm assuming the F1 GTR is a 20 million car, but anyway it still applies. There are several 20 million cars I would love to have.

[@StephenSingleton3]

@@TygonBCRight! All those hours spent grinding just to lose it all in one push of a button. I travel a lot for work and have a family. My time to play games for hours on end has changed. Is the money capped at 20 million like in GT5 and GT6? A lot of us have lives and gaming shouldn’t feel like a job.

[@TygonBC]

@@StephenSingleton3 I don't think there is a cap now. There was at first I believe, but I may be thinking of GT Sport.

[@andrewerickson3006]

I have literally raced 3 races to grind the money to purchase every car available(cuz I have a problem), to do otherwise is just plain silly...2nd worst GT...pls suggest 12 step program, I need help

[@Rockport1911]

Since we are that that time now Iam gonna say that what I miss most from the new TDU:SC is the " investment, joy and passion into cars and the lifestyle" that GranTurismo and older TDU titles portray well. TDU:SC was supposed to bring that passion to open world again but as weve seen in the demo it has a long way to go and probably wont satisfy old fans. Rant over :)

[@MorrWorm8]

The SP events are horrible. The payouts should be raised by 50% at minimum.

[@joeofoysterbay7197]

They released an unfinished game, it hasn't gotten a lot better, but they made tons of money. They now realize that they don't have to work any harder than that. It's not a good lesson for developers.

[@jacksondaniels8169]

The fact that I haven't gotten the Porsche Invitation since the game was released tells me the game is still jacked. Umm, sux replaying over and over the LeMans Gp4 race to earn cash.

[@FH4Player6397]

I still haven't got the Ferrari Invite yet....

[@dannnsss8034]

The car selection is a bit of a miss in 2024. There are barely any 2024 cars, let alone cars from this decade. Zero Kias, not a single Hyundai N car, and Hyndai Motor Group is currently the world's 4th largest car company (and was 3rd preciously). No Holden's. 1 Skoda, and it's a VGT. Like 2 Volvo's. Etc.

[@pablon4585]

i guess is sony command, i dont have proofs, but gettin bungie for live service games, maybe sony wanted to do the same with GT7, service, microtransactions, yada yada also, players need to stop asking for new cars, just maybe more tracks, but defo a more fair experience

[@MRD0889]

I'd take the tracks over the more cars honestly.

[@enzoregondola6160]

I still dont get how there are no championship series races after the introductory ones. Why is there no qualifying. And when will rolling starts be properly implemented, if at all?

[@blkschizo]

I don't think I have a single counterpoint to anything said in this video. Spot on. I hate that I love this game, yet I love that I hate it.

[@jamographer]

I have been playing Gran Turismo since the original game came out on a sample disk back in the days of PS1 demos being included in cereal boxes. In that time, I played GT1, 3, 4 and 7. In my opinion, GT3 was the best for freedom and progression, GT4 had awesome elements but also had some changes that I really didn't like as well. When I saw how pretty GT7 looked and the positive pre-launch reviews, I was so pumped but I know better than to buy a pre-order games now days, especially after my limited experience with the games in between which was pretty shocking. I was relieved I didn't pay full price and ended up getting the game on sale for around $20AUD or so and even though I got my money's worth, I genuinely despised the single player game. Next-to-no championships, no real endurance events, the License centre meant next-to-nothing. To this day, I don't think there's any reason to get S-Class licensing, is there? None of the championships I saw at the time had S License requirements. The AI was pitiful at best, GT Sophie was a ray of hope but was barely implemented and don't know if it's even still there. The AI based races are either painfully easy or the cars have such a head start that it's an absolute mission to have a fighting chance, not through their skill but just stupid levels of handicapping the player. The GT games of old were masterpieces for racing games full of unique and original tracks like Autumn Ring, Grand Valley (original versions), the city inspired races, putting you in the situation of being the 'new kid on the block', starting from nothing and needing to grind your way through a number of different championships to buy the cars you loved or admired to then take part in championships related to those cars. If you didn't want to do certain championships, no worries - so long as you completed a certain amount per difficulty level, you could progress. There was a theme to the races, and many of them were very challenging, especially for the time. You had a sense of accomplishment when you 'graduated' from the beginner championships, to the intermediate, pro and endurance races as well as the license tests which were very tough to get the Gold achievements on. None of that is feeling is here in this game. It has fallen into the trend of most modern games, particularly racing games where it offers something that's a very shallow experience that has little to offer beyond impressive visuals. While I do love the way the cars feel, each one having it's own character, strengths and weaknesses but if you can't enjoy mastering the quirks of your favourite cars in relevant themed races beyond quick online Daily Races, to me there's no real point. I really hope GT8 returns to the old formula but I can't see a path where these games go back to emphasising a single player experience over that of multiplayer and micro-transactions.

[@HDsharp]

Isn't the real fun in racing is racing against real opponents online instead of racing against Al? Personally I hate all one player experiences in games, because just like every other games, they give you tasks and goals to reach and to complete before reaching the next level, it's like they're asking you to do a job but you don't get paid for it. It's more like work than play. The more realistic the game is the more it will be more like work than play.

[@jamographer]

@@HDsharp I personally disagree. I don't play games to play with others most of the time, I play to relax and zone out. I like being challenged by the AI, in my other racing games I almost always turn the difficulty up to max (Purple Sophie for example or 100-110 difficulty in other racing games) and push to beat it. As someone who has to deal with a lot of people all day - something I can find exhausting, the last thing I want to do is log on and deal with more people or get stuck in lobbies with jerks who are there just to screw everyone around. Offline/single player games let you learn and experiment things at your own pace and set personal challenges that you can just muck around with, you don't have to deal with trolls who target you for no reason, you don't have to drive the 'meta' to have the best chance at winning. You can pause and walk away mid-game if something happens in real life allowing you to come back and resume as soon as your ready, not waiting for another lobby to be ready in a race you may not be interested in, you can achieve as much or as little as you like. Additionally, I like the ability to progress up tiers of difficulty, like in the championships from the old games. For those old enough, anyone remember TOCA Racing Driver? Now THAT was work and it was fun. Don't get me wrong, there is a place for multiplayer, especially if you have a group of friends who enjoy the same games, then great. But for a game that has a deep, core history of being progression based, to make it basically a GTSport reskin with single player being entirely revolved around Menu Books - which was basically an excessively long, mind-numbing at times tutorial - it felt like a bit of a cop out.

[@HDsharp]

@@jamographer I never understand why experience gamers are happy when asked to complete tasks without any real monetary gains (not just points or digital rewards). I used to find them fun, however, the more I play these types of games be it the first person shooters or any other games that involve completing tasks, the more realistic they are the more it feels like work to me 😂. I just feel cheated of my time 😂 I do enough of completing tasks at work. I guess it's whatever floats your boat in the end.

[@jamographer]

@@HDsharp Yep each to their own. I've enjoyed these types of games since I was like 6y/o. I like progression, I like campaigns. If you don't like those games, don't play them - I've never heard someone say they feel like they need monetary gains to play them. To me in the case of GT - and from what I saw in other comments here, they can have a game that provides GTSport for the multiplayers - which realistically is a very small part of the game in terms of content (3 races per week on repeat and a few time trials and a championship every few months, hardly any content at all) and a game that can provide substance, depth and a sense of accomplishment for those that want it.

[@darklord9581]

@@HDsharpthat’s the most dumbest thinking I heard. When you race online against people you literally are doing a task to beat other players online everyday. Literally stop watching tv cause you literally doing a task right there, get off your phone and stop commenting on every comment that’s multiple tasks you did right there etc etc etc. did you get annoyed typing multiple comments under one video??? No then how the hell do you get annoyed player a single player game??? Your brain sounds stupid.

[@carloshenriquez694]

I think critics should start to add a new dimension, a certification or a badge whenever they rate games and consider if is "microtransaction friendly". We often tend to give false impressions of the game because of this aspect, separating this we could discern is a game is great independent of is microtransaction in which every player could then decide to play or not. Some games like Apex Legend have microtransactions but they don't impact the experience others do (Pay two win).

[@lynp9996]

The worst thing about how grindy gt 7 is only like 3 events give a competive amount of credits for how much time they take.

[@AllOutNoobHater]

I think everybody misses the point to the single player campaign with reviews that are negative towards GT7. As a car enthusiast, it is one of the BEST car related campaigns and progressions out there. We go from slow to fast cars, and in the process when a menu is completed, we LEARN about the history behind those cars or sets of cars. Gaining a higher appreciation for the experience of driving them. Then, once you're done, you're able to collect a bunch of cars for the Extra Menus at your own pace. But in doing so, you learn even MORE about MORE cars. Not only are the cutscenes for each menu amazing looking, but the facts are great to read up on. Do the prices of the Legend Cars suck? Yes. Do you NEED any of them to do anything? Only sometimes. Most people online buy GR. cars from the manufacturers. Some of the most difficult single player races are usually much easier with SOME of the Legend cars, but they're still not needed. People have already figured out the best setups and cars to use for these types of races, so you can just look them up and get a good understanding. I have purchased credits before, but for me, I have zero issue with supporting the game this way periodically. It's a beautiful game that is made for the car enthusiast, unlike Forza, which uses car models from the FIRST GAME and has VERY little car enthusiast facts and detail. Forza Motorsport 4 was one of the greatest gifts to car enthusiasts, but then it fell apart afterwards with future releases and Turn 10 becoming lazy. So if you're a car enthusiast, then this should easily be a game that you love. If you're not one, then I can see why you'd look at the game with such scrutiny. But here's the thing. If you just play the game, you'll be able to earn everything just fine. There is NOTHING wrong with cars being priced to real world values and tasking yourself to earn them yourself, through your own means. For me, I just enjoy collecting the cars, driving them, racing them, and experiencing what the VR has to offer. You missed a ton of great things about the game and mainly just talked about the things that bugged you, which kind of does a disservice to the game itself.

[@jessegaddy1897]

All they literally have to do is make a game like GT4 with the multiplayer sport mode attached. Everything else is good, the graphics, the driving, the tracks. Still need to work on the AI, and we need an actual singleplayer experience like the old Gran Turismo games.

[@wagensportperformance1248]

Well.....in other words......You would love Forza......The issue is simple..... some cars are expensive not because of performance specs,but by emotional standards.....So you must straight up your priorities....If you collect the money to have it, which one would you buy first......If it was made a straight easy task you would get bored instantly and waiting for the next update to drive something new, before you get bored again because..... it's a driving game,all you have to do is drive and win (occasionally 😅).... there is no story line or a script...In driving you can have your own way.....Try winning by drifting or with a less competitive car or.......well is your job to find how you can win.....

Well said, however the fact that there is no direct competition to the traditional GT experience means that consumers will have to take what they get.

The reason why GT7's single player is a complete failure is not just the career mode, the absurd prices of cars, or certain mechanics, but because all the cars in the game aren't available as rental cars.

[@jpracing9753]

Good to see old school GT players aknowledging the many flaws of this game. I remember me and my friends who I met back in 2013 GT5 we were damn hyped for GT7 after GTSport lacklustre, just to be the worst launch of a gt game ever + ridiculous bugs, server shutdowns, cringe menu books, overall an unfinished game with drip feed content ever since. As a community that organises weekend races, championhips etc since 2018 back on GTsport, 2024 is set to be the last game my community touches this piece of trash, even our oldest members that can only play during the weekend due to work, children etc, are sick of it

[@NotSponsoredByEA]

GT7 is like being curbstomped as you see your francise going down the drain

[@RogerSullivanNOLA]

Nothing you said wasn't true, and yet, I still find GT7 super fun and even more fun than GT4, which I played when it was new. GT7 is straight up a better game than GT4. Anyone who says different is looking at GT4 with rose colored glasses. Cars can't even flip over in GT4. There's only one rain race in GT4...in the whole game. There are so many gameplay and quality of life improvements over those games that they far outweigh having to complete menus in the single player (which I actually enjoyed doing).

[@TheRageLivesOn]

i enjoyed playing this game and getting the platinum trophy for it, but definitely not because of what it has to offer in terms of content or depth. the hand holding cafe menus are an absolute insult to the Gran Turismo franchise, and the lack of player freedom for events makes the experience stale and basically kills any replayability. i have no doubt in my mind that i will replay the older GT's for a long time, but 7 is one that I will leave on my shelf to collect dust.

[@DonaldVale]

It's wierd that replayability was fine for me.

[@bobmalarkey4621]

I never cared about how much the cars cost, because if I enjoy the game, I'm going to play it regularly and end up with enough credits to buy them anyway. My big problems with the single player side are horrible AI, race formats, and tire models. The AI is so bad. They can't deviate from their preprogrammed line. They literally brake check you on turns where you should be accelerating through. After they brake check you, they have the absolutely most ridiculous acceleration. Also, if you're doing a 24hr custom race, they'll start running a 5+sec faster lap than the FL out of nowhere, without even a tire compound change, making it impossible to win with about 6 hours to go in the race. The tire models are garbage. How is it that RH tires have more grip than RS tires? Why do Sport compounds have less wear than Racing compounds? And why can't we have some sort of visual indication for tire temp besides the very vague and small outline around the wear symbol. I miss the color scheme they used to have when blue ment cold, green was optimal and red was over heated or highly worn. Lastly, the format for every single race is a sprint from last to first, with some odd ball fuel and tire wear condition, making you pit in a friggin 3 lap race. Or they'll throw rain into the mix on a 3 lap race, forcing you to change tires, only to have the rain disappear and the track dry by the time you exit the pit. Forget all the microtransactions and stuff, the core game play is absolutely F*d. It's not enjoyable at all, because it is a grind and your biggest opponent isn't the other drivers, it's the mechanics of the game itself.

Leave the ffb alone. The physics in acc/iracing/lmu are on another levels. I started with gt7 then moved to acc and the other serious sim titles and then came back to gt7. The difference is nigh and day. The physics in gt7 are too simple and primitive. There's almost no rotation with the brake (or on the cars that snap out on brakes, they do just that, oversteer like drift cars, they don't rotate nicely), there's almost no neutral steer, you either drift or understeer like a pig. Basically you feel like your car is on rails, and the grip is you either have it or not. Also what about the wired downshifting tehniques and shortshifting on exits? Imo there's no comparasion between gt7 and actual serious simulators. The best indicators are the laptimes. In full sims, there's about 1-2 seconds less laptime on alien laps, meanwhile in gt7 there's aliens pulling 3.17s at le mans in the gr010 hypercar, which is irl around 3.24-3.22s. But what is the most realistic thing in gt7? The acceleration, grip, braking, feel on the limit?

[@VladQuake]

The first game incentivized grinding. You couldn’t complete the very first race unless you were skilled, which no one was. So you got 5th+ place to buy a turbo to squeeze your way to the top. Compared to GT4, GT7 single player is lacking. But compared to 5,6, and sport? It’s better. Compared to Forza Motorsport 2023? It’s better. Compared to any “hardcore sim” (project cars, assetta corsa) It’s much better. So while always online sucks, micro transactions instead of gt4 single player sucks, it’s still the best sim while still being a fun game.

[@RandomCarGuy17]

Alright, your comment about GT7 being better than GT5-6 is debatable. But saying GT1's 1st race being hard is flat out silly, you can beat that race no problem with a stock 1993 Civic Hatchback at the start of the game. Not only that, but the race gives you 15,000 cr plus a Mazdaspeed Demio worth 12k. Giving you enough money to buy a faster car for the next race or just upgrade your current car. GT7 started out better than FM23, but FM23 is slowly catching up to it. Even then though, it hardly matters as both still suck in comparison to their predecesors. I mean, GT7 is still okay as a racing game, but as a Gran Turismo game. It's pitiful.

GranTurismo 6 is about what I can suffer in terms of single player career with it being short, not many special events and the slow AI drivers. Why is it so hard for new games like GT7 or FM8 to integrate a great single player career like in older beloved games?

I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool GT fan until honestly I got into Forza Motorsport (not the latest one!) which I will still argue has more realistic physics than GT ever had (I describe GT's physics as a hockey puck in a cloak), but that aside, Kaz's disconnect with real people seems to get worse over the years.

GT7 is, certainly the GT of all time. Good driving mechanic, quite good customization (even I can freely be artist here), "kinda good" multiplayer experience, and questionable single player experience Like yeah, instead of having menu book as a whole campaign, they could just have menu book as tutorial, or mission, while keep the good ol' GT mode, giving you freedom to advance on campaign, which means, when buying a car, it can give more sentimental value to the car, since the car would probably used in many events, and not immediately being obsolete. If "let the player experience many different cars", why the inflation price of old cars, when GT Sport can actually do better with reasonable prices for something like McLaren F1? If "avoiding player grinding one event repeatedly", why only 3 event gives the best payout? Why not more? If they keep focus on e-sport, why lying to player with "GT is back" advertisement? (And I thought Forza is the only one lying with "built from the ground up). And some minor inconvenience, like having a drawn out start for most normal event, making races feels like an overtake challenge, and only "red pepper" races that feels like a race. TBF, I enjoy GT7, only to a certain degree. I was actually coming straight from GT4, expecting something similar on GT7.... And apparently it wasn't

[@THEGREEPMASTER]

Spot on. All these problem were there since the inception of GT7, in which PD decided to caters both traditional GT style single-player and e-sport side with the Sports Mode into one, singular game. While its true that it seems like a good idea on the paper, but PD’s irl implementation which not only divided the whole gaming experience but the core player base as well. Now, we have two different side with strong opinions and priorities: -The single players side screams for more road cars, niche car brands, SP events with better payouts, classic original GT tracks etc. -The sports mode players shouting for more irl Gr. race cars and real tracks, more daily race options, better daily race payouts, better penalty systems and tyre physics etc. And the fact that the now-divided player base of the GT community have this “holier than thou” type of mentality and constantly plucks one another to further prove whose side were the most “worthy” in the eyes of PD wouldn’t help much either. Both sides of the fences are an important part of GT community and there’s no argument for that. It’s the lack of equal attention from PD to each respective side of the community is what causing the whole ordeal that we’re dealing with. TL;DR: PD basically tries to kill two birds with one stone, and fails to do so.

Idk how important this is but I would like to address how overly difficult the license tests are, why does it have to be so hard, it should just be a come play and go type of feature. Why do I have to play so perfectly and expertly to get Gold, I am not SuperGT nor am I kireth. If I am learning about taking a corner then why does it have to test it me on a stupidly short time limit, it should rather have check lists like brake at 150 sign then hit the apex and exit at this speed, which will get ticked as you pull off each of them one by one instead of a short ass time limit. Moreover, if it wasn’t already to get gold that they decide to reduce the Gold time limit.

The reason why I deleted this game is down to the fact that ever since update 1.41, Kaz & Polyphony screwed over the entire playerbase on Dualsense.

I've played every GT game except 6 and Sport. GT7 is a challenge from GT4 that's overstayed it's welcome. The only truly good parts of the singleplayer to me are the missions.

So, you think GT7's singleplayer is an utter failure in game design? Well, I would disagree with you because I think it looks good. You can compete in many interesting events like the 24 Minutes of Le Mans mission in the Mission Challenges and more. GT Sport launched as an unsatisfying single-player experience until the GT League came out, and I think that's what makes GT Sport so great. Gran Turismo 7 is not a mess. It is just a good game. If you like it, just play it. If you don't like it, just don't play it. GT7's game design is *NOT* an utter failure. GT7 gets better after Menu Book 39. More events, more cars, more... well... everything! I know we aren't allowed to choose any car we want freely and whatever order we want anymore. When I collected cars when I was doing menu books, I was not out of luck. I don't care if I'm unlucky after I get a car in a menu book. It doesn't depend on luck. Everyone is still buying cars in this game. Same cars, different appearance. Everyone is also still driving the same tracks, but with a different appearance. This is the exact same experience, but it's a new different appearance in this world. The linearity in experience did not leave a sour taste in my mouth. Bonus and extra menu books are optional, and I don't think they have the issue of how cars are viewed. Roulette tickets are rigged. Sometimes, they will always give you a small amount of credits, but they are not an aspect of the utter failure of game design. As I said in the beginning, Gran Turismo 7's single-player is *NOT* an utter failure in game design. But hey, it's my opinion. The invitations are not asinine. Of course, cars are locked behind a pay wall of invitations, but listen. *You have to be patient.* I don't care if I run out of luck after I have enough money to buy an invitation-only car, but I don't have an invitation. I just have to be patient and wait until I get an invitation. But don't worry, though. Sometimes, you can get invitation-only cars in roulette tickets. It may take a whole lot of luck. The prices for the cars (especially in the Legend Cars Dealership) are a very crucial thing. Take a look at the McLaren F1. It costs 20,000,000 credits to buy it. Allow me to tell you that Hagerty (the brand for the Legend Cars Dealership) lists the accurate real-world pricing for the cars. We all know what happened to this game with the microtransactions going on. The game sometimes has always online DRM (curse you, Ubisoft, for killing off The Crew). But when GT7 ends its online support service, it will be offline. It happened to GT Sport a few months ago, and somehow, everyone is still playing it. I didn't know what Kazunori Yamauchi's statement accomplished when he said that after the microtransaction controversy. Let me guess, it accomplished nothing. There are a lot of cars to drive out there. Cars just have so much history. The economy does not lie when it comes to car prices in this game. We all have to grind for more credits so that they can buy more expensive cars if they have the cash to do so. When I was playing GT Sport, I looked at the Ford GT Race Car Mark IV's pricing, and it was 20 million credits! This is absurd, but it's a miracle that the price was reduced to 6,750,000 credits. That's why the money methods are there. Like I said before, Gran Turismo 7's single-player is *NOT* an utter failure in game design. No, seriously. It isn't. Somehow, the campaign finishes before it even starts, but it's still a campaign! All agency is taken away in the tutorial because there is no point in freely buying the cars you want when you're doing the menu books, but at this point, I don't think I care. Anyone can still buy cars. Especially me. The game broke car collecting because it trivializes it to the extent of where it becomes truly meaningless and unbalanced to the point of insanity. Like, seriously, does GT7 commit the sin of greed? Yes. Well, kinda. Not really. So many cars have no reason to exist within GT7, but easily could if Polyphony just added more events (in which they might've done) but then we ultimately have to ask if they even remember that they put those cars in the game. The answer is this; they actually did put those cars in the game with licensing. But I actually don't think this game broke car collecting. I can still collect cars. The AI is acting strange, in fact, it is acting so strange, that it is used so poorly that whether the player is crashing at every other turn or putting in the best laps of their life, the results will almost always be the same. They struggle to navigate sections of track which they have no problem dealing with 20+ years ago and are so unaware that they can't even begin to comprehend the idea of sportsmanship which Polyphony preached to us as players. The game has heavily modified some of the most iconic corners from the classic circuits for the sake of a game mode, which only a fraction of players even care about. I never played Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (even though I still have the game but I don't have a PS2), but I can compare the tracks in that game to GT7 and then see what the difference actually is. The progression can be broken so easily that anyone can have millions of credits within minutes of starting the game and then spend that money to not even have to play the game, skipping most of the races entirely, which is incredible given just how few races they even put into the game in the first place, leaving out so many events which were not only beloved by fans, but would give the cars which Polyphony so desperately want the players to collect actual meaning in the game. The progression is split into different categories, but I can only complete them one at a time, and it goes like this; complete every event in the race directory, buy some cars, complete the master licenses, buy some more cars, complete the mission challenges, get some more cars, complete the circuit experience, and most importantly, *buy more cars.* There is actually a meaning to this. There are reward systems which insult the players and actively waste their time. A completely unbalanced economy, which means that grinding the same few races like it's a full-time job is the only way to earn the most expensive cars. Yes, I know the roulette tickets are rigged. I'm not a fan of daily grinds, but I'll get used to that one day. There are the less important things which Polyphony again pretended to put much more effort into than they actually did or obviously broken features that they've yet to fix since launch. It is all just a selection of things to cover. How can Polyphony look at any of those with a clear lense and feel any sense of pride whatsoever? This is a game which was billed as a true successor to some of the best racing games of all time. This is the story of how an individual considered as the grandfather of an entire sub-genre, a true visionary who arguably changed the course of video game history showed that he does not get why people love his games and honestly makes everyone question how those games even ended up as good as they did. Despite this, anyone will still keep an eye on Gran Turismo 7, but I don't expect much from Gran Turismo 8. I don't think that anybody else should either. Maybe GT8 will be better. Some people do say that Gran Turismo 7 is not Gran Turismo, and it never will be. But I disagree with that. It is still Gran Turismo because it has 'Gran Turismo' in it, *DUH!* The adjustments are still coming soon. Just be patient. Yes, the license tests are outdated, but I think that Kazunori Yamauchi and the rest of the team at Sony & Polyphony Digital have actually done a good job making the license tests and other stuff featured in Gran Turismo. A job well done, indeed. It's business as usual, almost as if the whole fiasco never happened. But sadly, Gran Turismo is just not the same anymore. Any player would never have the audacity to play this game and do this kind of stuff. Good grief. For the last time, Gran Turismo 7 is *NOT* an utter failure of game design. But overall, this is my opinion, and if you disagree with it, that's fine because we are all entitled to our own opinions, and this is simply what I think about your statement in this video. I hope you read all of this, and I wish you a good day.
