Hubers hype could sell me any game. But he doesn't need to, since i'm already convinced to play it.
 
but i hate cars

I could never enjoy playing full sim racers like this, but I did play GT3 and 4 a lot on PS2. I would just browse the dealerships, look at the cars, and in GT4, enjoy it via B-spec mode. But I have always admired the series for it's classiness, and commitment to authenticity, and I can be happy for people who like these types of games, ya'll look like ya'll in for a treat!

...Just in case I do something stupid with my money, do they still have B-spec mode? GT4 was my last game in the series I played.
 
Tbh I want to get this to learn about cars and also experience the dual sense with a racer, dirt was kind of disappointing to me.

I think it has all retro GT goodness and then some, so I guess tiers are there.

I would have voted for "Day one VR".

Added "VR Racing!".
 
Looking at the game you can easily feel how much love has been poured into it. Passion for cars, also it still feels so Japanese (menus, sound effects, etc). It feels like a remake or a reboot of the GT we grew up loving.

I haven't purchased a GT since GT5 mainly because they seemed to lose their way

GT7 looks like the perfect mix of the old car enthusiast/lover content with RPG elements/campaign and tons of elegant lore scattered throughout. Seems like they went all out to not rush out an incomplete product that gets patched over time which was absolutely the right choice

Day 1, but may not play it a whole lot until later since there's so much stuff releasing
 
Coming at a good time as FH5 has dried up a little and we all waiting for DLC1. With Forbidden West also dropping in the half term I'll probably have that finished or be close to/mopping up 100%.

I do like a traditional circuit racer with more grounded physics. Does GT have any sort of club mechanic for gaf like Drive Club/fh?
 
Never missed a main line Gran Turismo game but this one will have to wait until it either hits PC or in the case it doesn't this might be the first one I don't buy. I bought a PS1 mostly for GT, a PS2 mostly for GT3 and I bought a PS3 entirely for GT5. I won't be buying another console just for GT7.

Polyphony's car models will likely never be topped. While the heavy PC sims might better simulate all aspects of the cars mechanically even ACC's GT3 and GT4 cars are not near the incredible levels of detail the GT series has reached. The original Project Cars had some pretty insane detail and at the time stole the crown but that series never reached the level current scape cars in GT Sport hit and this game will have more of that. Should be a great game for people that can access it on Playstation.
 
Have it pre-ordered.
Gt7 and Elden Ring are most likely the only 2 games i pre-order this year.
The State of Play showing made me really hyped for GT7.
 
I'm not into sim games, but would've given it a chance down the road, if it wasn't for the online only requirement for the SP part.

I really hope so. The last GT I played and enjoyed was GT2.
 
I have been watching the 4k deep dive and other preview videos on YouTube every single day so I'm in. Day One! I am more hyped for GT7 than any other games releasing in this time frame

Already pre ordered Gran Turismo 7 25th Anniversary Edition months ago. Just wished there was a option to pre load it for people that pre ordered the disc version.
 
I was tenatively excited but after those previews and the showcase I'm so in for that GT Cafe thing, the real people coming out to tell you about the history/cars is fucking brilliant and a compelling reason to complete challenges.

I was hoping they physically came out from the back of the cafe as NPCs lol but its just text boxes and pictures of them right? Still awesome.
 
Pre ordered last month, was going to go digital as I know I'll play it all this gen but managed to get the disc for £58.
 
I'm welling over with nostalgia. I meant to play GT Sport and Forza, but I was never that into online racing, and I could never be bothered to assembling my pc, so I can't wait for GT7. My racing rig and PS5 is ready!
 
This is a start but I'm thinking like, each car manufacturer is personified by some waifu, and as you buy and upgrade their cars you build up affinity with that waifu. There could be a mini game where you wash & wax your car while the waifu makes facial expressions and squeaking noises at you.

It's so stupid and cringe that I'm certain it would be a hit among a certain demographic. Nerds would already be organizing into tribes ready to battle for the honor and prestige of their chosen manufacturer.
