Launch GT7 << GT5 and GT6

Current GT7 >> GT5 and GT6

Don't care about car quantity, otherwise GT3 would be the worst. And as stated, GT5 and GT6's car lists were mostly filled with filler cars. GT7 at least has all of them with the propper attention to detail they deserve.

GT7 was, and still is, the most disappointing Gran Turismo to date though. But objectively speaking, its better than GT5 and GT6.

All of this taking into consideration the time all of the games were released on. GT1 now is clearly a dated game, but for the time, it was a masterpiece and a revolution in racing games, the first of its kind. GT2 was a massive improvement over it though.
Same with GT3 and GT4 which worked out in the same way GT1 and GT2 did.


GT7 is still massively lacking on car varitation events. And the way they are laid out is for me the worst to date. Choosing to display the events at the TRACKS instead of the EVENTS themselves like even GT Sport did, was a terribly foolish decision. It's hard to not get a bit annoyed at this. And the game doesn't feel at all like it has a career... Just races all over the place, the License Tests don't even mean crap anymore for whatever reason.
For me even though Gran Turismo 7 has amazing graphics, sad to say that even in 2026 Gran Turismo 7 still is overrated. Plus online only for even single player killed all the fun of it.

Probably this, but still wouldn't fault anyone for thinking the opposite. GT7 trades blows with GT5, but as said many times before, neither ever comes remotely close to GT4 and GT3. I still can't help but feel completely empty whenever I launch GT7. Sure, I have my moments when I happen to be into online, and Power Pack was a step in the right direction, but the unrealized potential still remains frustrating.
 
Beside the career mode, which I don't really care about, gt7 is on an another planet honestly, GT5 and 6 weren't built from scratch but deep down they were just a GT4 HD version but worse

I have better things to do.
Like writing such comments?
 
The way GT7 has evolved, I'd choose GT7 any day over GT5/6.

In 4 years I recall two occasions where it affected me having to have an internet connection… the fun may have been wounded on days the server was down, but certainly did not kill it off for me

Absolutely not. It's just more advanced technically.

In the same way my washing machine is more technically advanced than my car, it doesn't bring me more joy.
