While many racing games concentrate on entertaining players by overwhelming them down with various tracks, modes, and challenges, Gran Turismo 7 prioritizes one of the main features of the genre: the automobile itself. It’s not that I’m complaining it has plenty of material, but the history of cars and their culture is presented in such a large amount that it is enough for more than a dozen additional titlos as well as a complete dictionary. Learn more about the game – we discuss it in our review.

Gran Turismo 7 doesn’t shy away from a lengthy introduction and a long video that traces the development of automotive engineering, from the earliest self-driving vehicles to the development of super-modern hypercars. The game instantly clarifies that it’s mostly about cars, and the next, second and fourth are all about racing, driving, and having fun.
The first “Music Rally” race introduces the game that you drive the course to any of the songs in the soundtrack. It includes contemporary and classic tracks “VROOM” of Fanatix, Idris Elba, and other artists who will play for a long time on the music library of my Spotify library.
The basic concept is that, while the music plays, the player has to be racing through the track, taking over other vehicles. The pace of the track influences what speed the timing device is running at. when it reaches 0, the race will be finished. After passing the control points, the racer will add scores to his timer, and at the end of the track, he has to cover any distance that is possible.
It might sound complicated, but all you need to do is drive quickly and get through the checkpoints while counting down. Even though the most recent races in this mode are some challenges. However, “Music Rally” proves enjoyable and lets you enjoy yourself between races.
The majority of tasks are dedicated to collecting automobiles: Luca, the owner of the cafe, is willing to collect several cars of the same manufacturer, in the same country or. For instance, a Nissan sports car or a BMW M3 of different years. These cars can be purchased to race as part of the collection. They visit the garage once they are there, and Luca will explain their brief background.
The concept collection collections are beneficial since they don’t allow the participant to hang with the same vehicle. For instance, for racing in races on Japanese rear-wheel drive vehicles, you’ll require the right sports car for the race, and to build a collection of French hatchbacks is allowed exclusively on “European.”
In the café, there is a possibility that you can attend the championships – you can go with a valid license that includes national B and A, International B and A in addition to the Super License. This is an excellent opportunity to improve your abilities: instructors will show you how to enter the turn correctly, choose the best route, and behave when it is wet. To get the right to drive, it’s sufficient to “bronze” for all the exams of the license, but if you’re looking to earn”gold “gold” and earn an extra vehicle, you’ll have to put in a lot of effort. There is a reason that they claim you can learn how to drive an actual car in Gran Turismo games.
They give you more than just garage upgrades in exchange for completing collections and winning championships. Luca also offers raffle tickets, a bit similar to lootboxes. With them, you can win an amount of cash, car parts, or even a brand new automobile! However, I have never managed to get any car or cash prizes; the prizes were not that great – maybe the simple option to upgrade credits on the PS Store is the cause.
In addition, famous auto industry figures such as favorite designers are happy to talk about their experiences and thoughts of the cars they helped create and, now and then, stop in to enjoy a cup of coffee in Luca’s warm and welcoming home for automobile enthusiasts. It’s interesting to note that Gran Turismo 7 is very similar to the Japanese games. There are no cut-scenes, just brief titles that scroll with one button click. It appears that the developers did not have the funds to make animations; however, the entire game screams about the billions of dollars that were invested in the game. It’s likely just an aesthetic feature, or it’s a “thing” in GT7.
The primary thing is that the creators ensured that the race did not cause boredom to the participant. The race usually lasts between five and 10 laps. Most of the race is quick and quick to end. Cars are driven with realism, and each vehicle is unique from the others, and cautious driving is advised (although there aren’t any sanctions for collisions during your career, excluding testing mode and school). The conditions and diurnal cycle can change rapidly: during the rain, it can be challenging to steer the car, while at dusk, you need to be reliant on what the headlight illuminates from the darkness.
Those who wish to challenge themselves by playing against tough opponents must play around with the tuning. To begin, a stock with parts from the parts store. The more extensive collections more sophisticated products will be available for sale. It includes an air filter, mufflers and mufflers, tire kits, suspension, and much more.
You can also look at the auto shop where the vehicle will be changed with oil and rebuild the engine. clean your body, and even smooth the scratches on the body. The style of the “swallow” is on display to be repainted and dressed up with various stickers, put on bumpers, and many other visual “tricks.” Visual tuning schemes can be saved and shared via the Internet and, obviously, download custom variants. The chances are that this library is packed with a variety of concepts from the world of artisans following the release.
Other aspects of the game are focused on the reflective element. Scapes is a fantastic camera mode that offers a wide range of places around the globe and various options to focus on environments, a variety of filters, and other tools. With Scapes, you can take real-looking photos that showcase the splendor and beauty of the Gran Turismo 7 fleet. Photo enthusiasts are bound to spend lots of time in this.
Brand Central is the hub of the various automobile brands featured in the game. It also serves as a showroom that allows you to purchase any vehicle, an exhibit with detailed information about the details and informationgraphics, archive photographs and footage, and videos on the top models. This is the best spot to go if you would like to learn more about the company you’re interested in.
In the garage, you can modify the vehicle and enjoy the car in all its splendor. If you temporarily put aside the gamepad, it disappears, and the virtual player will begin to display the car at the most advantageous angles. A separate button, “Scapes,” allows you to take the model you choose to be on various tracks around the globe.
It’s impressive. When you can see reflections of road marks on the bumper or marvel at the way that the other elements around are visible on the sides of the nearby sports cars, it’s easy to understand the reason why Gran Turismo 7 is the most stunning racing game we have ever played. Forza Horizon 5 employs Ray Tracing in only the photo mode. However, there’s a chance to see realistic reflections everywhere in the race, even in the gorgeous demonstration videos. There and everywhere, it’s an excellent execution of SSR here and there an authentic RT; however, in all cases, you will be delighted by the way it’s implemented.
If we look at the game’s flaws, it comes with a crowded interface, a confusing dialog system, and minimal race modes. However, it’s captivating enough to keep a player who isn’t used to racing simulators. That’s the main reason for its popularity.
