DonD81 Gran Turismo 7 Review

The game misses quite a lot of basic features. For example, a virtual rear view mirror in all camera modes. I like to race in cockpit view, but am really missing this simple feature that you find in all other racing sims... And after you finish a race there is no overview on who drove the fastest lap!! Then there are no standing starts. Now I don't mind rolling starts, but some variety would be nice and unfortunately the rolling starts in GT7 are implemented poorly as well. You start too far apart from each other. The way ACC or now even Forza Motorsport has done it, is how it should be. This game feels unfinished and after all these years they haven't added any of these basic features yet. It's like they don't wanna bother, because they've already made most of their sales and are probably focusing on the next installment. What a shame and it's enough reason for me to kinda say farewell to GT and mostly focus on ACC, LMU and the upcoming ACE (which has an open world). Another thing that I don't enjoy is that sport mode only has weekly races. Why just 3 races and why for a whole week? I much prefer Forza's system in that regard; every 20 mins or so a new track can be raced. GT7 could learn a lot from Forza Motorsport when it comes to online multiplayer (can't believe I'm saying this). Also, you barely get any credits for online races in GT7, resulting in having to do stupid races vs AI. I'm honestly really disappointed in GT7...
