Sony and Polyphony Digital release a State of Play video earlier this week, to further showcase Gran Turismo 7:


In-game screenshots also hint of the possibility of engine swapping being a thing in the game too.

The game itself looks gorgeous, but given how you still need to sell a Kidney to get a PS5, would it be worth it still, just to be able to play GT7?

It's gonna be a hard sell plus the fact that online for PSN is no longer free like it was in PS3 days.
 
So with Gran Turismo 7 out for a little over a week now, (and I still haven't got to the selling grandma's organs phase to get a PS5 yet) how has the game been? The reception I have been hearing that it feels grindier than past GT games, and the in-your-face microtransaction enticement (the "Top-up" banner that comes up whenever you make a purchase in-game) feels way too blatant.

The main target audience is asians who can finally live out their fantasy of driving like a normal person and arabs who can finally drive their dad's car without totaling it on the side of the highway. No price is too high because it's still lower than the base line insurance premiums.

Five hours in FH4. Britain is quite beautiful, but cramped. Trees in the countryside are just randomly placed. This is a problem as FH4 gives you points for "vandalism," knocking down small objects like trees, fences, rocks. Some trees stop you in your tracks.

Character customization is clothing only with presets. You cannot customize your hair, face, eyes. So many of them look the same as you race around.

It's part simulation, part arcade. Arcade comes from how you accumulate points through passes, drifting, vandalism, airtime, etc. Simulation comes from damage affecting performance. (That's a setting, I believe)

Cars can be used obtained through currency or through a wheel spin. So far, I've unlocked five cars through the wheel spin.

Will need more time with FH4 to get used to driving. I shy away from it as I'm not the best racer.

Be careful with haybales, they're not static but they will end your combo.

Are you a regular at Forza? I struggle with maintaining speed with turns.

You disable the driving line? If you did I suggest turn it to braking only to help you get a feel for how much brake to use when entering a turn. Though you will lose some of cr bonus for using it.

I did for the D class Championship event. I used Ingrid Bergman's car of choice. I won the event, but I noticed turning was difficult to manage without hitting the wall.

And yes, I've changed my tire pressure. And the difficulty was "highly skilled," one shy of Expert.
 
So if anyone had any real hope of GT7 getting overhauled it's not looking very likely.

The people who have spent a hundred or so dollars already have been playing since the series introduced microtransactions and seems to have gone over better with them in comparison to GT5 or Sport which also had very rough openings and a lot of shit being tied to DLC.

Their mentality is that you can't pay to get past the challenges which will still take a lot of time, so if they can just have the car they want from the start it doesn't detract from anything.

Yeah, Crazy Taxi was pretty cool. Arcade or kart style racing games are good, but I don't like realistic ones.
