Overall fun game, but I wish the campaign was better. Most were generic chase races and collectathon type of campaign. Just needed a little more different race modes in between.

Really fun game and thr driving feels great. Every car feels different.

I have a full sim rig and this game is a blast for entry level sim racers.

This wheel is a pretty good deal, but if you can afford to upgrade to the fanatec DD pro, then I would suggest that path over this.

I've had Logitech, thrustmaster and fanatec and so far the fanatec systems are my favorite. My thrustmaster t300 got worn out a bit and I couldn't drift on it normally. The fanatec was a lot quieter and smoother to use also.

Forza would be great if not for all the convoluted flashy bullshit and dialog. I don't want a story, I want a racing game.
Wait, are you talking about the GT7 story bullshit? Forza doesn't have much.

What are the legalities to changing your name to Thrust Master?

There is nothing quite like Gran Turismo with a wheel and pedal set (if you have the budget). It's a different kind of gaming.

Quote from leeterbike :
Good game, not great. Forza is better. I watched trailers and expected a 120fps masterpiece, my expectations were way too high.

Whoever engineered the audio did a terrible job. A gt350 sounds like a Carolla, tires all sound the same, interior noise in most cars is identical, and I've yet to find a vehicle that sounds like the actual car. When they said they walked the tracks, analyzed every turn, looked at environmental conditions as the sun set, I figured the audio engineer would youtube the vehicles exhaust note to somewhat get it correct.

Driving aids are annoying to have to change, the braking are is frustrating compared to the adaptive braking line on Forza 7. The lack of adjustments to stability/traction control/abs is frustrating.

Also, with a controller like the PS5s, no clutch? Seriously?
No brake fade, no clutch, exaggerated resistance on gas pedal. I expected a more polished experience. The cinematics are great, history is great, but side by side with Forza, it's more engaging playing Forza.

Hoping for updates and patches to add corrections. (Tons of little things are wrong)

Comparison. It's annoying how FM7 is that close at 5+years old.

Thanks for the comment. Don't know why so many haters are out there… they probably don't have an Xbox or PC

Seriously asking, not trying to be a smart ass, but have you actually played the game? They literally trickle content out to you as you play through the Cafe Menus (I'm personally on menu #24 I think) and increase your collector level. You unlock:
- Cars
- Tracks
- Pavilions (Missions, Scapes, GT Auto, Historic Car Seller, etc…)
- Helmets and racing suits
- Roulette Tickets (though the chances of hitting a better reward aren't that great)

Content:
- Cafe Menu Races & Activities
- License Tests
- Track Experience
- Missions
- Music Rally
- Online Races

The only aspect of GT7 that I'm actually truly disappointed in is the local split screen multiplayer. No access to your garage, just a set of like 10-15 pre-determined cars to choose from and the awful side-by-side screen instead of top/bottom. GT Sport also had side-by-side split screen, but at least they let me pick my garage cars.

Overall I'm happy with GT7. I go back and forth between wheel and controller depending on if I want to pull out the racing seat or not.
You can add cars for 2 player versus. Go to your garage and when you're selecting your car just favorite then all. Then they will pop up

Check out the fanatec. Their intro model is a LITTLE pricier but you get a direct drive wheel as opposed to a belt driven model shown here. https://youtu.be/hcDZ3zKfuvA

Gran Turismo 7's Microtransactions are Much More Expensive in the US than Japan:

I guess now's Japan's chance to get even with us in the US...

Would this work with Mario Kart 8 on switch? I just bought it and grabbed a couple of those cheap rocketfish plastic wheels for my wife and nephew, would be cool if I could bust this out and kick their assess

I wish these would work for playstation and xbox both.
It's really crappy that none of them do, with how expensive they are. I think there is some kind of 3rd party adapter thing I've heard of that let's you do it, but not sure how well it works.

Be aware of the always on line requirement of GT7 and the stupendously expensive microtransactions....
U srs? What a letdown. Sometimes when lucky I can stream a movie on Netflix so this isn't going to work. Waiting for my cyberlink to arrive.

I was going to buy PS5 specifically for this game. Thanks for saving me time and money!
