(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment) GT7's GT Town campaign mode map is a dead-ringer for GT4's Gran Turismo Resort, and is sure to please old-school fans.
Though, given this studio's history of shifting release dates and delays, none of this is very surprising. Alas, no rough time frame, let alone a mention of "2021," has been provided then or since - telling us that GT7's ETA is still in flux. However, you have to imagine that if Polyphony Digital was preparing this game to land in vague proximity to the PS5's launch, it would have alluded as much in the trailer. An Instagram post of the very same trailer we saw over the summer, accompanied by the caption of a ticking timer emoji, seemed to renew fans' faith the title would emerge sooner, rather than later. Technically, there's still an outside chance GT7 is being prepared for the latter stages of the PS5's launch window. Since the official GT7 logo was revealed as part of the first trailer, we know that Next Level's logo was fabricated. Interestingly, Next Level’s excuse for the controversial post was that the company’s “graphic design department used the mock logo that is circulated on the internet.” The only problem with that suggestion was that neither fans nor journalists were able to locate that logo online, anywhere - indicating that it was either the real deal, or that Next Level whipped the logo up itself. That is quite the achievement given the fact that many racers have become used to the safety net of a race rewind feature.īut if a challenge does feel too hard, fear not! There is the aforementioned easy difficulty and plenty of auto-drive aids that will be a massive help for newcomers.Next Level later deleted the post (which, fortunately, is still preserved thanks to TheSixthAxis), then offered an explanation on its own website, stressing that the post was “misinterpreted by media,” and “ not reflect any information” about the game or its launch. It is a lesson you learn and a growing experience to help you develop into a better driver.
The end result of all this hard work is an ever-changing tapestry of racing challenges that will test you, but not to the point of feeling unfair. Each competitor reacts to each other and you, to make races feel a lot more human than before. The Sophy AI is not part of GT7 yet, but in its current state, Polyphony made some huge improvements in this area. Previously, single-player races became a futile competition of overtaking a column of cars that all followed exactly the same line. Really really really ridiculously good looking (and sounding and feeling)įinally, the last piece of the puzzle is competitor AI. Just because I’ve given it five stars does not mean it’s a perfect game for everyone.
However, at its heart, this is still a game for the hardcore racing sim fans. There is an easy difficulty and a wealth of driving assists to help you through the single-player campaign and the music rally is a really engaging way to grasp GT’s sim physics with countdown mechanics that send my mind back to the likes of Sega Rally and Daytona. To anyone who is more of a rookie racer or a first timer, this is more of a four-star game.
#GRAN TURISMO 7 RELEASE DATE SIMULATOR#
Now, if I was to factor in how accessible this racing simulator is, the score would probably go down. Racing sims have been a big part of my life across many consoles for well over 20 years, so I know my way around one and can review it for what it is: a motor sporting mecca that celebrates everything about cars down to every painstakingly minute detail.
