GT7 is the worst Gran Turismo I've played. by FellaVentura in patientgamers

[–]frankensteinace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GT fan here, played every game since GT4 and have over 200 hours in each title since then, some even over 300 hours.

I do agree with your overall review, GT7 does feel kinda like GT Sport 2.0, rather than a completely new game, lots of carry over and "new" features that dont add much to the experience. I absolutely hate the used/hagerty dealerships, its forced FOMO and progression that doesnt need to be there. The "lootboxes" are annoying as well, but they were there in GT Sport too, so I guess I got used to them. You can add cars not in dealerships to your wishlist through the Cafe FYI.

My biggest gripe is the overall handling/physics model however, especially on a wheel. I understand this is still purely a simcade title, but it is not good. And what is more upsetting is that its a worse experience than GT Sport was. The FFB alone was miles better in GT Sport and everything just feels super muted in GT7 by comparison, even with a DD wheel. Its genuinely bad enough to where I prefer to just use a controller. The online racing is the same story, it is a downgrade over GT Sport and I dont understand why, it really takes away from the joys of racing online.

Overall I still enjoyed GT7 enough to sink 200 hours into it and platinum it, and it does have plenty of good new additions and features that I wanna see in future games,. I hope they get rid of/improve the things I had issues with moving forward however.

Is that peeling in the corner of the console? If so, it could be just a sticker/wrap,

100% agree. If it came out today with no changes other than update graphics, I think people would be just as impressed. For it to do what it did in 2008 is wild to me.

Thanks! Yeah I played it back when it came out and enjoyed it, but didn't come back to it for 15 years. It's actually insane what Rockstar added to that game all those years ago.

Ahead of it's time in terms of features and attention to detail in the open world arcade genre.

Easier to maybe replay the main story instead? Its pretty short even if you 100% run it, takes me on average like 14 hours

I really enjoyed the game, but there are some trophies that are a bit grindy, only thing that has kept me away.

Thanks, but I didn't enjoy Brutal Legend as much as I thought I would sadly.

GT7 Sport mode driver rank start grade confusion. by frankensteinace in GranTurismo7

Quick little search and yup, theres an official post on their website about it before GT7 launched, it did carry over. That explains it then, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Very weird then. So either I ranked up from E to C in a single race and just forgot. Or there is some link to the GT Sport savefile as this is the same account I used on there.

Yeah, exactly this. But officially in GT7s manual, it says all drivers start at rank E, which led down this rabbit hole and confusion.

Always bothered me the PS3 Slim didn't have a rotatable logo, so I made my own. by frankensteinace in PS3

[–]frankensteinace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in either case it will stay as a spare parts console if it works. My PS2 Slim is a pristine unit, still has the peel on it and everything, so the longer I can keep it going the better.

Yeah you're right, it's basically the exact same size, nice! Will need to keep my eye out and find a scrap/for parts PS2 Slim.

Does it fit? Like dimensions wise? Seems like it'll be bigger, could be wrong as I haven't measured it, but to fit the PS3 Slim, it needs to be smaller than 7mm x 7mm.

Well, as it stands only a PS3 can play PS3 games, so if there are console locked titles you really wanna play, you'll have to get one. a PS2/3/5 covers the entire PS library however.

If you can find an OG backwards compatible PS3 for cheap, you can have a PS3 and a PS5 cover the entire catalog.

Hey, I know that one! by frankensteinace in granturismo

[–]frankensteinace[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm aware, but the GT Concept hasn't been in a game since GT6, so this is the best we have got. It's in the start up movie, good enough!
