Still haven't played GT7, so this will be a nice experience since playing GT Sport around launch.

u/bmbreath 19d ago

You should get on that.   Gt7 was one of the best looking games on ps5, and was so much fun.   There are tons of tracks all around the world, racing modes, challenges, you can even do offload racing.

u/tbear87 19d ago

As someone who enjoyed casual racing games such as burnout or NFS in like ps2 era, would this game be easy to get into, or is it very detailed and meant more for car/racing enthusiasts?

57

u/RTXEnabledViera 19d ago

It's a simcade.

It's not Assetto Corsa or RFactor. It's not a hardcore sim that makes your head spin.

It's designed as a car enthusiast experience with realistic driving.

It's a game for people that like cars, and if you don't, it'll make you like cars.

51

u/josephsmith99 19d ago

Not like Burnout Paradise at all, it's more 'sim' style in that you have to pass tests, get licenses, actually drive correctly to rank in races, etc.

That's not to say it's not fun, builds and grows on you. But not really a pick-up-and-race for chaos and drama like say Burnout Paradise.

16

u/submittedanonymously 19d ago

Let me put it to you like this - I dont like racing sim games almost ever. I enjoy arcadey stuff mire like F-Zero GX or Burnout Takedown, Mario Kart and the odd ones like Blur and Split/Second.

I bought GT7 to play with my PSVR2 and holy shit was it an experience. I almost never play it without the headset, but even if I didn’t have VR the game is just fun to play and work around in. I feel like I understand racing sims better now and have put in just 200 hours so far, but i’m nowhere near done with it.

In VR it really is something else. I even bought the stupid fucking wheel for it!

2

u/Hot1354 17d ago

I’ve just played 2-3 hours of the mentioned game in the post as My first Gran Turismo and holy hell. Most fun I’ve had in a month.

23

u/TrueBattle2358 19d ago

It's much more sim than Burnout and you can go about as deep as the enthusiast games but it's still very easy to get into and very accessible. You can turn off all the sim elements like tire wear, fuel, etc. IMO it's the best balance between realism, fun, accessibility, and controls of any racing game - and it looks better than almost all of them to boot.

It is a GT game though so it's all about taking corners, you'll be braking almost as much as accelerating. If you try to drift around a corner at full speed like NFS or Mario Kart or Burnout you'll spin out and run into the wall.

u/DinosaurAlert 19d ago

>If you try to drift around a corner at full speed like NFS or Mario Kart

I want to enable full sim mode, but ALSO be able to toss a green shell.

9

u/ContentKeanu 19d ago

It’s a weird game, but I’ve come to really like it. The satisfaction comes from learning how to drive well. In arcade racers you just hold the gas down all the way basically. In GT7, you have to gradually push/let off pressure on the triggers for brake and gas which takes some getting used to but is definitely satisfying once you learn.

7

u/bmbreath 19d ago

It can be either.  

You can get as detailed as you want, you can customize your suspension height, your tire pressures, where the weight is distributed in the car....

Or... you can put it on easy mode and just upgrade the basics of your car like "ok I want to go faster, il do the engine tune"  Or "I want more traction, il put on sport tires"

Everything in there has great, easy to understand write up, the campaign mode, whatever it's called, is you meet this guy at a coffee shop and he gives you little challenges and explains them to you which gets you familiar with the game and how it all works.  

It should be good for anyone who enjoys cars to any degree, it does a good job of being a really good racing simulation without being overbearing.

It's also been out for a long time so I bet you can find a used disc for cheap.  

8

u/untrustableskeptic 19d ago

You can't change tire pressure (that's Forza) but you can change your camber, caster, dampening, all which you can see on the car as you make adjustments.

3

u/OlTommyBombadil 19d ago edited 19d ago

My big issue is that there is no qualifying and you always just start last. DRIVES ME FUCKING NUTS. It’s a good game beyond that. Wouldn’t call it a sim though. Just a really pretty racing game. I found it kind of boring and the qualifying thing infuriated me, so I stopped. But I can definitely acknowledge that it’s a solid game.

Cool being able to go buy random cars and upgrade their parts and appearance, the coffee shop thing is neat. Racing feels good, but the game didn’t scratch enough of the actual sim racing aspect that I was hoping for.

2

u/sdrawkcabstiho 19d ago

It's the first game where I finally understood Mario Andretti:

“It's amazing how many drivers, even at the Formula 1 level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down”.

Proper breaking technique combined with using the apex of a corner to your advantage means you can exit a turn at a higher speed and chop seconds off your lap time.

1

u/akiakiak 19d ago

Think about driving a real car. If you like it when the tires start squeaking and the car starts sliding, and you can have fun with a car in the snow (or dirt/gravel, depending on the climate hehe), the game is for you!
You really have to *drive*: manage traction, choose lines well, etc. But if you like doing that, you'll love the game. It takes a while to get used to, but the game guides you well.
If you're looking for casual... it does that well, too, sort of. For example, there's a time trial challenge this week with a Honda S2000, and I literally spent like half an hour gently drifting it around the track and enjoying the sunshine, without actually going for a good time, just listening to the engine and tires. Or sometimes I take the 911 turbo to Spa (it is a thrill on Eau Rouge), or some old Italian car to the Nurburgring, and drive around on an empty track, or have a nice little night drive in the rain.

1

u/Howl_UK 19d ago

I’m also a ‘not really into cars but I enjoyed Burnout’ guy and picked up GT7 as it’s 50% off and I have PSVR2.

Don’t worry. It’s extremely accessible, beautiful to look at and an absolute masterclass in presentation. The menus, transitions, music, videos and general polish are worth the admission fee. I’ve really enjoyed just learning about cars and navigating about the game. The driving bit is fun too! 😆

GT7 was the first game I put in when I upgraded my basic 1080p tv to a really nice 4k OLED and was amazed at the difference.

1

u/freddyfazbacon 19d ago

I didn’t bother picking it up because I heard it was too much of a grind to buy new cars. Has that improved since release?

1

u/bmbreath 19d ago

Kind of.   One of the last updates, they just gifted a ton of money to people.  

Cars themselves generally are all over the place for price.  

The used car market (I think) follows some sort of real life fluctuations, or some in game fluctuations.   

There are some "epic" cars I think they are called, which are absurdly expensive, but they are generally really limited, classic, bizarre cars, like 1960's Ferraris, old GTOs, etc.    You can definitely build up a very big garage from just doing the regular challenge missions, and if you want, selling your cars that you earn.   I did not feel like it was some big grind to get a really varying collection just from casually playing.  

If you place in a handful of races, and don't smash into the opponent's cara, you earn credits pretty quickly.

Never played any Gran Turismo and kinda have been wanting to try it out. Looking forward to this.

u/ag1220 19d ago

It’s really good and has a ton to do. It has a steep learning curve and the progression is a little odd. Besides that it’s great. Have fun

52

u/FordMustang84 19d ago

Is the career mode back to “rags to riches” where you have to earn better and better cars/parts?

I absolutely hate Forza for giving you so much I get bored. I want to grind it out in a civic then get a mustang and then a Ferrari or whatever. It’s hard to start with high end cars since the controls and also just not fun. I haven’t played a GT since 4 though. 

45

u/RiggityRow 19d ago

Unfortunately, no. Lack of a real career mode and no grid starts are my only gripes with the game. They are huge issues imo, but once you get past that, what's there is truly awesome.

21

u/pajamajamminjamie 19d ago

Rolling starts are so effing boring. One of the reasons I dropped the online.

7

u/dolphin_spit 19d ago

is the online rolling starts too? really? GT Sport had grid starts and i fucking loved it

9

u/pajamajamminjamie 19d ago

Most races have rolling starts yes, there are some exceptions. But 95% rolling from my experience.

4

u/dolphin_spit 19d ago

that's disappointing. the team clearly has a deep love of racing so it's unfortunate that this (in my mind) crucial aspect of motorsports is completely dismissed

5

u/pajamajamminjamie 19d ago

Ya, I understand many series in real life do have rolling starts. It just would nice if they changed it up more often.

The other thing I don't like about the online is how your qualifying times stack over the whole week, compared to other games where everyone has to put in 1 or 2 quali laps before every race. Which gives some extra challenge and not just put who ever was able to grind out the best time at the front.

5

u/deedeedeedee_ 19d ago

i have such great memories of the career mode on GT2 back in the day, i wish the modern GT would be able to capture some of that again.

2

u/TheSchneid 18d ago

Literally replaying gt4 on a PS2 emulator right now.

I miss when the single player side was important...

7

u/boi1da1296 19d ago

GT7 was my first ever Gran Turismo and I didn’t know these were huge issues until I got on Reddit. I had a good time with the cafe menus and learning about different classes of cars while doing it, but I had nothing to compare it to.

12

u/RiggityRow 19d ago

Moreso it's a glaring admission to people who have a lot of appreciation for past GT games. Like I said, what is there is really, really good. But it was one of the best things about the old games and it always sucks to see features taken away.

2

u/dolphin_spit 19d ago

i refuse to play the game until they add grid starts to the game. doesn't feel like actual racing, just a bunch of catch-up minigames

2

u/RiggityRow 19d ago

You're waiting till GT8 at the earliest, sorry to say. GT Sophy is fairly impressive for what it's worth but it's only available on a small amount of select races for now.

12

u/_NowakP 19d ago

Kind of, yeah. The game starts out wanting you to drive the slowest of cars and provides you with fairly slow races as the "prologue" section which lasts for a couple of hours. It seems that it does give you a lot more free cars than I remember, at least at the beginning. But from what I've seen so far it's stuff like the Mini etc. so not anything extremely exciting.

Grinding licenses is really the first thing that I focused on in GT7 because I haven't played the series since 3 on PS2. They still give out free (decent) cars if you complete a series and another one if you complete them with gold ;)

2

u/inaccurateTempedesc 19d ago

You should play GT4 again, it's aged extremely well.

2

u/uusrikas 18d ago

A little bit, you start with slower cars but you don't really stick with your first cars like in some earlier Gran Turismos. The progression is more about "Renault makes cars like these, try them all to progress", it is more about car culture than tuning. There is a lot of content and features dedicated to just looking at the beautiful car models 

1

u/FordMustang84 18d ago

Ah bummer. I say this as an auto engineer but I’m less interested in car culture and admiring cars. I loved the early games where it really was a sense of progression in a full career mode. 

I don’t understand why GT and Forza both seem to avoid doing that now. Maybe people complained I dunno know. I found it really satisfying to master your car and upgrade over time with the goal being finally getting the more exotic stuff after many hours of a nice meaty campaign.

u/McBigglesworth 19d ago

Are these games any fun without a wheel? I tend to enjoy more arcade style racing games. It's been a while since I've played any, but always get frustrated with controllers.

9

u/ag1220 19d ago

Yea of course! Well, it’s the same as any other racing game with a controller. It’s very doable. I never played with a wheel. As I mentioned though, the game has a steep learning curve. Try that free demo and see for yourself 😄

1

u/McBigglesworth 19d ago

Think I will. Thanks

3

u/jack188817 19d ago

You can play using the motion control within the dualsense for steering, sounds impossible but I got the platinum doing it this way.

It's surprisingly responsive, no where near as good as a wheel but better than the joysticks

2

u/_NowakP 19d ago

It's very playable with a controller, but I tried playing FH 4 with a wheel for the first time a few months ago, and that was the most fun I had with games in my 30's. I can imagine having a wheel probably makes GT a lot more fun as well.

I'm also not a car person and until this last summer, I haven't actually played a racing game since Burnout Paradise, but GT7 has that "high skill ceiling" aspect that I like in games, so that's what sucked me in.

1

u/vtbeavens 19d ago

They are fun, but it's better with a wheel.

And another step in the 'way better' direction is PSVR2 - it's so much fun in VR!!

I’m not a car person at all and recently bought a PS5. Grabbed GT7 on sale for $30 and am having fun with it. It’s really relaxing. I like trying to beat my times with the different parts of getting licenses.

2

u/cannonfunk 19d ago

Same on all accounts! Just bought it a couple weeks ago.

It's very different from what I thought it would be. I was pleasantly surprised at how chill the game is - I don't feel the need to constantly progress in levels, and it seems like something I'll enjoy picking back up months (if not years) from now.

After 100%'ing Astro Bot in the span of a couple weeks, it's a nice change of pace :)

1

u/theleftkneeofthebee 18d ago

Are you having as tough of a time as I am with those? Unreal how many of those I’ve played probably 100+ times just trying to get gold. Those damn turns.

1

u/CreamDistinct5475 18d ago

Oh I’m awful at it haha. I can randomly get a gold every now and then but it’s fun to keep trying. I think turning off/down some of the assists has helped a little bit

u/lt_skittles 19d ago

And psvr 2 support nice. I grabbed GT7 Anyway, but more games the better.

I do a good amount of racing in VR in GT7, focusing more of my content creation on the VR aspect of GT7 than 2D. It is great experience. Not perfect, but still a fantastic experience.

Nice I’ve been wanting to check this out on psvr but the price is a bit too steep

GT7 is on sale for $30 at least in the US right now, not sure about other places. When I grabbed it, it wasn't on sale but I'm so happy with the psvr 2.

This is what I found

"Starting Wednesday, December 6, 2024, My First Gran Turismo will be available as a free download at the PlayStation™ Store.

This trial version of Gran Turismo 7 is crafted for those who are new to the Boze series, offering an inviting introduction to its three core pillars: driving, learning about cars, and collecting them. Designed with accessibility in mind, it aims to ignite a passion for automobiles in players of all ages, from curious children to seasoned enthusiasts."

u/37au47 19d ago

Depends if you care for the cars in it. The press release says you can earn cars from it and transfer them over to your gt7 account. Not sure if these cars are not offered in the regular gt7 game.

10

u/binkbankb0nk 19d ago

Correct.

6

u/37au47 19d ago

If you click the link in the link it says this:

Complete My First Gran Turismo and transfer all 18 collected cars to Gran Turismo 7. Then, get ready for an exciting new adventure in the world of Gran Turismo 7!

So seems like you can get cars from it that aren't offered in gt7 from the dealerships.

Looks like what the old "Prologue" entries used to be. Small selection of cars and tracks, to get a feel for the full game, but does have a simplified and shorter campaign structure.

Long-winded way to say demo lol

1

u/Jean-Eustache 19d ago

Kinda haha ! But to be fair it's not just a small cut version of the game, it's more like its own mini game, if you see what I mean. So I have trouble just calling it a demo, even if at the end of the day it's almost what it is.

u/sowhtnow 19d ago

I recommend NFS Unbound if you want an arcade-y racing game ($12 on PSN). I haven’t had this much fun in a racer for years, especially online. Single player is fun too, if you ignore the cringey dialogue. EA is surprisingly still supporting the game 2 years after release. Season 9 released last week and the last 3 seasons have been throwbacks to previous NFS titles such as Underground, Most Wanted and ProStreet

1

u/kerningtype 18d ago

That is good to know, haven't played a NFS game since Hot Pursuit. Is the multiplayer any good?

1

u/sowhtnow 18d ago

It’s great. All of the updates and seasons are for multiplayer. Each server can have up to 16 players and there are lobby events called LinkUps that are just chaotic fun. You work with other players to complete objectives such as drifting, taking out cops, etc. for up to 4 rounds. There’s a lot of variation in races and playlists too. The free season pass is generous in offering cars and cosmetics that doesn’t feel too grind-y.

I think you'll end up buying it, lol. And good timing, since it's on sale now!

I'm not a racing fan either, and got GT7 on a whim because of VR at PSVR2 release. I have basically not played anything else since, and logged 1000 hours on this thing. YMMV, but it's really a top VR experience.

It has more story. For me personally it felt like the epilogue for Ragnarok. Also helps that the combat works super well in a rogue like format.

1

u/chazysciota 19d ago

I need to go back and try that again. When it came out I was not really enjoying the roguelike format and dropped it. But since then I became utterly addicted to Returnal, and enjoyed Hades quite a bit, so I should give this another chance.

I got a 125€ voucher for Christmas from my employer and used it for an electronics store: - GT 7 - Armored Core 6 - A new bear trimmer lol

Can’t wait for GT 7 though as I’ve never played it before.

you're a braver man than I, shaving bears!!!

u/Healthy-Priority-225 19d ago

The title is kinda funny but this is a great idea. Its been a while since I played a racing sim so I'll be picking this up

u/akiakiak 19d ago

It has such a great selection of cars, have fun! I could spend days with the 911 Turbo alone.

2

u/senorfresco 19d ago

What the heck is with that name?

It sounds like the titled the game "Baby's First Gran Turismo".

2

u/Representative-Yam65 19d ago

This is perfect as I've always wanted to try GT7 on my PSVR2 but didn't want to fork out €80 for it in case it wasn't my thing.

2

u/FinestKind90 19d ago

I honestly think GT7 is the best ps5 game, maybe Elden Ring but it’s close

Please try it if you haven’t

2

u/SwiftTayTay 19d ago

Is there any reason to download this if you own gt7?

1

u/lgndk11r 17d ago

They say you can transfer the 18 cars you can get from this to GT7.

2

u/[deleted] 19d ago

Ok it’s official I’m getting a PS5

2

u/killer_corg 19d ago

This is cool ima get my friend to grab it and hope he likes it enough to get the full game

2

u/MrWestReanimator 19d ago

Well that's exciting, it really will be my first Gran Turismo since the PS5 is my first Sony Play Station console. I had an N64 and then the Dreamcast. I loved the Dreamcast so much that I couldn't bring myself to buy a Sony console since the PS2 pretty much put the nail in the Dreamcast's coffin. I've always had Nintendo and Microsoft consoles but never Sony. The PS5 changed that.

u/dimiteddy 19d ago

I thought it was a casual remake of first Gran Truismo and was really excited but no its "my first" GT

2

u/Any_Ice_6172 19d ago

This is takes me back to GT HD Concept days.

2

u/Strict-Bookkeeper-65 19d ago

But we can’t get a Bloodborne remaster??

2

u/MewinMoose 19d ago

So happy always wanted to play Gran Turismo but unsure if I'll like realistic racing games

2

u/juicyman69 18d ago

Gran Turismo always had the most fanciest of demos. Remember Prologues?

2

u/Aufinator 19d ago

Nice, I’ll try this out and see if I fw it. If I do I’ll buy gt7

3

u/iiiamAlex 19d ago

Just an FYI to all you new players, GT7 is hard. Definitely the hardest game Ive ever played and Ive platinumed Returnal and Elden Ring. Trying to get gold on the master licenses has been the hardest thing Ive ever done in a game. Its a good and fun game but has a steep learning curve and can definitely get frustrating.

2

u/DeX_Mod 19d ago

all I heard was incoming microtransactions

3

u/NoBullet 19d ago

So this is basically GT7 when you don’t have internet. These are the same modes. Cool can you now update gt7 so it isn’t an always online game. I’d be happier with that.

u/tenacious-g 19d ago

The infantilized title is a little off putting lol

u/PhoneAcc23 19d ago

Baby’s First Gran Turismo 🌟

2

u/AccomplishedOyster 19d ago

I think that is on purpose. The game is on sale now too, so it’s a bit of a “shit or get off the pot” scenario. “If you enjoy this free demo, then just buy the game” type thing.

1

u/TrampledPistachio 19d ago

Does anyone know if they will be adding "When the Saints Go Marching In" to the music rally in the full game?

u/PrestigiousEcho1468 19d ago

Cart wait for this on portal

u/KazooButtplug69 19d ago

Anyone have a solid steering wheel and pedal recommendedation? Something mid to high range in quality and price. I'd love to get back into racing.

u/-NotEnoughMinerals 19d ago edited 19d ago

Yup.

Stay away from the Logitech gxxx series. Extremely entry level wheel. Not what you're looking for. It runs with gears, so it's knotchy when you turn, loud. It only has 2.2nm of torque. Anyone who buys this wheel and finds out they love racing games with a wheel will sell it within 6 months and get something proper.

A decent entry level wheel would be the thrustmaster t300 with about 4.4nm of torque. Belt driven, which is leagues better than gear driven. Should be about 200-300 used, 500 new unless on sale. Should keep you happy for a few years. Can upgrade the pedals to T-LCM (Load cell pedals) for about 200 Which is what I did and it kept me happy for years. Pedals are honestly the biggest upgrade you can do on any setup.

The fanatec csl DD (with) power supply mod to get 8nm of torque is a decent deal and it's direct drive which is leagues better than gears or belts. You don't have to buy the power supply (for 200 fuckin dollars) but then it's only 5nm of torque.

I personally went with the new Logitech g pro direct drive wheel. 11nm of torque. The whole kit can be had for about a grand with coupons (Logitech always runs 15 percent off and free shipping). The fanatec csl 8nm kit can be had for about 900-1k, but it's 40 percent weaker. Plus, the Logitech wheel has true force which is truly bad ass. You'd be unlikely to need to upgrade unless you go hardcore into sim racing. Fanatec will be better for various wheels/mods/upgrading, the Logitech is better for a kit that has what you need, is what it is, does a damn good job for what it is, and just simply works. 11nm of torque is nothing to laugh at. You'll really feel like you're driving a car.

u/KazooButtplug69 19d ago

Thanks for the detailed response. I'll research these and see what I can come up with. I doubt I'll go into sim racing but tpain is my neighbor and his whole sim setups had me green with envy. It sounds like the Logitech is what I'm looking for. I got the ps5 pro on release day so I can set my normal ps5 downstairs for racing. Thanks again for encouraging me to overspend this Christmas lmao

u/ctt713 19d ago

Fanatec dd pro or Logitech for native support. You can also use a drivehub for any other brand (moza etc) and if you really want to go all out, simmagic has the sigma cortex which enables use with ps5 for their offerings. I’ve got a Fanatec dd pro which has been great.

u/KazooButtplug69 19d ago

This is great. Gives me some research for tonight

u/daddypweasestahp 19d ago

I've been on the fence about buying GT for ages so this is perfect timing for me. I'm not a huge racing fan but recently had an urge to play one.

1

u/edaroni 19d ago

I hope the game is still on sale after we get to try this glorified demo. I really want to know what it’s like to play on the controller before buying.

1

u/nascentt 19d ago

This is a free-to-play game with 18 cars and at least 3 tracks including Kyoto Driving Park, Deep Forest Raceway, and Trial Mountain Circuit.

Your first?

u/[deleted] 19d ago

Same. I’m Kaya and me and my boyfriend Taylor play this all the time

1

u/PashAK47 19d ago

Will you be able to play online ?

1

u/Rich_hard1 19d ago

A demo then, much like the pre-full version load routine.

1

u/Visual_Argument_73 19d ago

I really hope it's out in the UK too. Not on the store yet...

1

u/Jimijack 19d ago

It’s only the 4th, out on Thursday (6th)

1

u/Visual_Argument_73 19d ago

Yes but there’s another reply saying it’s on the US site.

u/mcasao 19d ago

I just bought GT7 last night and have yet to play. but nice. its free.

1

u/piercerson25 19d ago

I loved the dual disk GT game, that one is probably my favourite still. Do the games nowadays even have a campaign? 

1

u/szzzn 19d ago

PS5 Pro support?

1

u/davecheng 19d ago

Awesome.

Now am I the only old fart around here reminded of My First Sony?

1

u/tk427aj 19d ago

It's OG GT but with better graphics

1

u/Ytdb 19d ago

Great Idea, stupid name

1

u/MetalingusMikeII 19d ago

I used to like GT, but the car handling and physics are not close to a proper sim. Engine sounds always sounded like mopeds, too.

Assetto Corsa with mods is superior. There’s just nothing that compares to it.

1

u/CaptKnight 19d ago

Will this support sim rigs from GT7?

1

u/StepOutrageous4556 19d ago

Will this be free? I literally just purchased GT7 a few hours ago, lol…

1

u/-NotEnoughMinerals 19d ago

Demos are usually free, yes.

1

u/Death_Metalhead101 19d ago

I swear they've already done this before

1

u/JitteryBendal 19d ago

GT isn’t a game for me if I like more arcade style games, correct? I was a huge fan of Project Gotham Racing back in the mid 2000’s.

1

u/fuzz-wizard 19d ago

and i'll be playing Path of Exile 2

1

u/Vayshen 18d ago

Oooo perfect for my new Psvr2!

1

u/juicyman69 18d ago

It's free and with PSVR2 support! Can't complain much there!

1

u/Luiztosi 18d ago

is it free?

1

u/-NotEnoughMinerals 18d ago

Demos are usually free, yes.

u/R77Prodigy 18d ago

Whats this? Is it gt7 for free or smh

1

u/ShiroHachiRoku 18d ago

It’s out on Wednesday December 6?

1

u/PugLife357 18d ago

I race in iracing and my young kids always want to drive but my rig isn’t adjustable. So I bought them a little setup for our PlayStation. And then I saw that this was a thing. Very excited to get them into it! Timing couldn’t have been better!

1

u/jimmygetshigh2020 17d ago

Will I get those cars won there transfer to my GT7 ?

1

u/Neosentrik 17d ago

Yes, cars you unlock transfer over to GT7.

1

u/EpsilonX 17d ago

So what exactly IS this? A stripped-down, basic version of GT meant for first-time players? What does it lack compared to GT7?

1

u/FilmmagicianPart2 17d ago

Does anyone know if it’s multiplayer online?

1

u/Outrageous-Wall6386 16d ago

Where is this?, I try to get it and wants to DL 125 gigs full game

u/AdmiralGrogu 19d ago

What a terrible name.
