The best gift for fans around the world "GT7" micro-review

This year marks 25 years since the GT racing series was born, and after a long wait by players around the world, Kazunori Yamauchi and his studio Polyphony Digital have finally brought Gran Turismo 7 (later GT7) to players. As the top player in the racing game, Ben is tailor-made as a next-generation console platform, which not only supports the cutting-edge technologies and features of the next generation, but also has a huge improvement in game content with the previous game.

The game debuted with more than 400 racing cars, all of which are high-precision car models, and launched more than 90 tracks for players to play in one breath, and the "stand-alone mode" and "weather system" missing from the previous generation of "GTS" also returned to "GT7". Of course, in addition to the familiar modes and systems, GT7 also tries to add some new gameplay, such as "music rally" and "café" and other interesting content.

A variety of racing cars for you to choose from

++Hands-on experience++

The version of this review experience is the PS5 version, in addition to 4K HDR, the game also supports "frame rate mode" and "light chase mode" for selection, which is surprising that in order to ensure that both modes can get a refreshing experience during the game, even if you choose "light chase mode", you can still maintain 60 frames per second. In terms of picture quality, the light chase effect only works on some parts of the headlights and paint, so players who like it can safely and boldly choose to open the light chase mode.

Daily contests

In addition to providing super shocking picture quality on the PS5 version, it also gave me a particularly big highlight: the sense of presence. Thanks to the production team's tuning of the DualSense gamepad, the experience of the entire game in the vehicle driving handle feedback is amazingly realistic. Whether it is the damping of the accelerator, the brake pedal, or the feedback brought by the chassis of the vehicle in various road conditions, it can be presented through the tactile feedback of the handle. The vehicle I remember the most changes in the center of the car when it turns, the rise and fall of the tire bouncing on the shoulder of the road, the roar of the accelerator at the moment of exit, and I can feel it with my eyes closed.

Lens settings can be adjusted individually

Of course, the racing game is indispensable to the steering wheel, and the support for various third-party steering wheels in this game is also very comprehensive, and in the game settings, you can even see the production team adapting to up to 10 or so steering wheels. So whether it's a gamepad player or a steering wheel player, Polyphony Digital will take good care of it.

++ Task System++

GT7 cleverly designs the "Café" quest system, where players receive quests through the "Café" and drive the entire game process, play games, and win rewards. Rewards consist mainly of gold coins for vehicles purchased, tickets used for lottery draws, and cars unlocked by completing missions. In addition to simply getting gold coins and car rewards, unlocking more gameplay in the game also needs to be done through the "café".

Complete missions to earn rewards

As the game progresses, more and more vehicles and tracks will be unlocked, the vehicle level and game difficulty will become more and more difficult, and players can also hone their skills through the "Driver's License Center", or buy, modify and adjust their vehicles through the "Modification Workshop" to get better results.

In addition to serving as a task center, the "café" occasionally plays the role of an automobile culture center, whether it is a long-standing car brand culture or the legendary story of some cars, the owner of the "café" is like a car chronicle, and will also popularize the history of the car in the game.

Select the vehicle

++ Buy a car and modify ++

"GT7" provides a more realistic car purchase scenario, the brand center can buy the vast majority of new models, and relatively rare old cars may occasionally appear in the second-hand car dealership, this setting will make the fans' collection of cars a little uncertain. It is also worth mentioning that if you want to buy a legendary vehicle, in addition to having money, you must also buy it through a brand invitation letter, and the purchase price of the future legendary vehicle will fluctuate with the value of the real-world vehicle.

Buy a car of yours

At the beginning of the design, each car will correspond to an initial "PP value" in the game according to the original performance, and the player can increase the vehicle "PP value" by modifying it later. However, as a hardcore racing game, GT7's modification system design is more professional. If you have no knowledge of modding for novice players who have a certain foundation, it may cause some trouble. The idea of blindly spending money for high-end modifications may not work, so it also requires players to spend more time gradually, slowly changing parts, and slowly adjusting, so as to bring up the express train that suits your driving habits.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In addition to performance modifications, GT7 also adds appearance modifications, including a variety of colors, appearance kits, wheels, calipers, front lip, tail wing, and even wide-body kits. However, it is worth noting that some of the cosmetic modifications cannot be recovered, which is very true.

Vehicle maintenance is also important

Speaking of reality, "GT7" also added car wash, maintenance, repair and other settings, in addition to the player can experience the real car buying, using the car, the production team also did not forget to remind the player to maintain the car. This kind of detail is very well grasped.

++Arena experience++

With 25 years of experience, the GT series still maintains excellent realistic gameplay, with an absolute hardcore racing experience cap, while also lowering the threshold for new pit players. GT7 provides two dimensions of "difficulty" options for players to choose, one is the "difficulty setting", through which some of the AI capabilities of the single machine can be adjusted, simply to reduce the speed of the opponent. The other is the "Assist Option", which allows you to adjust the active and passive assists of your own vehicle, which is simply to increase your speed.

Fast & Furious

According to their own abilities and experience expectations, players can adjust the difficulty of the game at any time, so that every player can find fun in GT7. Except, of course, for online multiplayer mode.

In the whole driving process, whether it is environmental physics or vehicle dynamics, there is a high degree of real feedback, whether it is the body center of gravity, grip performance, including dynamic weather, etc., will make the game feel rich, driving experience becomes strange and interesting.

A chase on the field

++Summary++

In my opinion, GT7 is undoubtedly the best GT series I have ever experienced. In this game, all the essence of the series is accumulated here, preserved and sublimated. Not only that, but we also see a new direction in the game from GT7. Whether it is a new player or an old player, whether it is a top master or a rookie weak chicken, I believe that they all feel the fun of car racing and car culture through GT7.

With the last sentence of the summary, the international crude oil price has also gone up to $110 a barrel, and countries have also announced that they will ban the sale of fuel vehicles around 2030, and we are experiencing major changes in the automotive era. At this point, perhaps most players, like me, didn't have to wait to drive the Dream Car to end it all. But we are fortunate that Kazunori Yamauchi can continue to accompany us in chasing our dreams.
