The vehicles in Gran Turismo Sport already looked superb, so the improvements here are mostly down to how the lighting is handled, and the improved texture materials. On the roster front, Gran Turismo 7 features over 400 car models that have been stunningly recreated with the utmost attention to detail. " Gran Turismo 7 is by far the best entry the series has seen in years, if not one of the greatest racing simulation games of all time."
The Café mode is easily one of the biggest highlights of Gran Turismo 7, and it’s a bit shocking that something so simple can be so addicting. As you level up, you will unlock rewards like in-game credits, cosmetic items like helmet and attires, and even vehicles. As the name implies, your Collector Level will increase when you procure a new vehicle. All of this is backed by a solid yet simple progression system called Collector Level. It literally feels like you are a student in a school where you have undertaken this beautiful journey of learning the history behind the cars you collect and the people who made them. Once you complete a specific event, you will be treated with splendid visuals describing the manufacturer’s origins. From collecting cars from a specific vehicle manufacturer to competing in championships, the Café is an enthralling ride that never gets old. But as more Menus (which is what tasks in the mode are called) are completed, more complex racing scenarios start getting triggered. Literally taking place in a café, an NPC will initially take you through amateur activities, like how the in-game garage works, and tuning your rides. Gran Turismo 7 offers a number of single player modes, but chief among them is GT Café, which will ease players into the game’s various gameplay mechanics. And after having played it over the last several days, I am convinced that it is by far the best entry the series has seen in years, if not one of the greatest racing simulation games of all time. That alone should give you an idea about the scale that Polyphony Digital is aiming for with Gran Turismo 7.
In hindsight, in fact, Gran Turismo Sport was setting up the stage for Gran Turismo 7- a stage so big that Sport itself is just a mode within the series’ latest iteration. This is not to say that Sports was a bad game, and in the years following its release it received a ton of updates to its online modes, along with a decent chunk of single player content added in for good measure. It was an online-only title, and the lack of a focused single player component at launch kind of detached it from a series that was always known for its in-depth solo offerings. Granted, Gran Turismo 5 and 6 were both good games in their own right, but Gran Turismo Sport is where, in my opinion, the series started to drift away from its roots.
The Gran Turismo games have been on a downward trajectory ever since their PlayStation 3 days.
