I still remember seeing a player commenting on the GT series in one place: "Simulation games, represented by Ace Combat and Need for Speed, are under the banner of simulation, but in essence they are still enjoyable games. When I drive miles in reality, After driving more than 100,000 kilometers, I naturally fell in love with the GT racing series. Just like the slogan of GT racing: If you have never driven a Ferrari, you will have driven it in a GT. "

can make people fall in love with driving. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the GT series has always had a large number of loyal fans. Thanks to the review code provided by Sony China this time, I can hold the handle, let go of everything, focus on the track in front of me with my car, and record some of my remarks after the smooth Mercedes-Benz.

*The platform for this experience is PS5. The content on the PS4 platform may be slightly different. The opening animation of

is very interesting to experience when you first get started with

GT7. When you click on the game, you can see pictures on old parchments slowly unfolding in front of you. Along the long river of time, human beings have developed from driving steam-driven cars to industrialized modern times. From Carl Benz riding the world's first car to today's large-scale stadiums with crowds of people, a strong sense of history comes over us. , this may be one of the reasons why car enthusiasts are immersed in the smell of engine oil and .

The father of automobiles - Carl Benz

After the opening animation, we come to the main interface of the game. The main interface of GT7 is consistent with the refreshing interface in GT4. It is simple and easy to understand. You can see the track, garage, dealer, cafe, etc. at a glance. The functions of each building are unique and non-overlapping, which is quite simple and beautiful. Especially when paired with the different weather conditions after the game, the addition of this small detail made it easier for me to immerse myself in this "camp".

Since I am not proficient in racing games, I noticed the "Driver's License Center" immediately after coming to "GT7". Although I was prepared to suffer before entering the game, I was surprised to find that the game has a complete and rigorous teaching system. "GT7" adopts the familiar concept of "driver's license". In the "National Class B" driver's license test, it starts with the most basic starting and braking, and then proceeds to seven consecutive cornering tutorials, taking new drivers step by step on the road. After the final assessment tests your learning results, you can apply for a higher-level exam. Every assessment in the final "Super Driver's License" is an extremely difficult and complete competition, and you will fail if you are not careful.

"Driver's License" is not compulsory to play. After obtaining the driver's license level, you will only get some more rewards. However, it has to be admitted that as a well-known "difficult to get started" racing game in the industry, it has such considerate basic tutorials. Perhaps the producer wants to express that although the game is professional and hard-core, the audience and original intention of the game are always all kinds of racing players, and the door of "GT7" will always be open to everyone.

"Driving School" will teach you to apply the brakes at the right time.

After practicing at the driver's license center, I was ready to go to the world circuit. The previous work "GT Sport" included 39 tracks including 17 locations, while GT7 includes 97 tracks in 34 locations, dividing the tracks into "America", "Europe", "Asia/ Oceania" ", these three areas range from the fictional arenas that players are familiar with to the actual arenas where major competitions are held in reality. In some competitions, only a part of the tracks will be used. The number of nearly a hundred tracks is enough to ensure that the game is playable. sex. Different tracks will also limit the performance points of participating vehicles that players can use to correspond to the characteristics of the track itself. For example, the world-famous drifting mecca Tsukuba Circuit, I believe everyone will want to have a drifting addiction here.

The charm on the track

Next, what everyone is most concerned about is the actual experience on the track. As a next-generation game, GT7 is not inferior to other similar works. In the game, you can choose frame rate, priority or picture priority. Players who choose picture priority will experience the next-generation light-tracing technology brought to this game. obvious changes.It is worth mentioning that even if you choose picture priority, the game will automatically switch to frame rate priority when entering a match, ensuring the player's gaming experience during intense and exciting matches.

GT7 is also the first in the series to add a physical calculation engine to control temperature and wind direction, faithfully restoring the impact of climate and weather in different seasons on racing conditions. The water and snow on the road will change during the player's game. For example, the ground will clear up after raining and the best route will become dry in advance due to the progress of the game. This not only enhances the player's sense of immersion, but also plays a vital role in pursuing the game. It is undoubtedly a new challenge for players to complete the track perfectly in complicated weather.

Of course, it does more than that for new players. Taking into account the window period during which players can transition to using this system proficiently, GT7 has added three different modes: fully assisted, semi-assisted and professional control. For a newbie like me, it is natural to choose full assistance. Whether it is the red braking area or the recommended braking indicator when cornering, it greatly helped me complete the race. Special mention should be made of this braking area. As long as you slow down enough to corner, the braking area will disappear in time to remind you that you can corner. In addition, the game also adds automatic braking, steering assistance, etc. for players who cannot drive at all. These additional functions will not affect the rewards for completing the game and can help players get started faster.

PS5 DualSense controller's excellent tactile feedback is also fully reflected in GT7. Every detail of the vehicle on the track will be transmitted to your hand through three-dimensional vibration. When you hold the controller, you can clearly feel the right side of your car pressing against Curb stones , or too much water on the road causing slippage. It is no exaggeration to say that you may not be able to avoid exiting the line with your eyes closed, but with your eyes closed, you can completely feel whether you have exited the line and drove onto a gravel road or a lawn. The brake button (LT) and the throttle button (RT) are also worth mentioning. The brake button simulates the blocking feeling of the brake very well. When the accelerator button is pressed, the damping is very comfortable. Both of them simulate well. Realistic driving feel. In comparison, the vibrations of the previous GTS pale in comparison.

In addition to the handle, we should also mention another good partner in driving games - the steering wheel. The steering wheel can bring a more extreme experience to the driving game. This time I used Logitech G923 for evaluation. Thanks to the latest force feedback simulation technology "TRUEFORCE" of Logitech and the excellent adaptation in GT7, the whole driving experience is very good, and I can clearly feel it at different speeds. As for the torque difference brought by the steering wheel, the vibration sensation caused by different road surfaces and steering is also very good.

This wave is a wonderful combination of hardware and software

Romance beyond driving

As early as four hundred years ago in Italy in the 17th century, European aristocratic young masters and buddies would spend huge sums of money on romantic trips that could just go away. This behavior was called "Gran Turismo" by later generations, which is also the origin of the name of the GT series. The Chinese translation of "GT7 Gran Turismo" is "Romantic Roadster 7". Although it may be a bit difficult to pronounce at first, it fully demonstrates the soul of GT7. Sports car, romance and travel, these three words run through GT from beginning to end.

has such a romantic beginning, and the corresponding features are naturally indispensable in the game. In GT7, you can't hear the blood-spraying rock , instead you can hear a variety of carefully arranged music. There is also a gameplay called "Music Rally" in the game. Under the countdown of the music you choose, you need to increase the duration through checkpoints to avoid running out of time. It can be regarded as an interesting gameplay to regulate stress.

Officially stated that the repertoire will be enriched in subsequent updates.

is not only romantic about music, but also about the coffee shop that players miss. The most common NPC that players see in the game, besides the beautiful assistant Sarah, is the cafe owner Luca. Luca conveys the tasks in the game in the form of a "catalog" and uses a task line to connect the core content of the entire game. Either collect designated vehicles or complete a certain race. After completion, players will unlock new vehicles and tracks.His goal is not to create problems for players, but to lead players to experience the game step by step.

Cafe is of course more than a system that is widely praised by players. Kazunori Yamauchi, the founder of the GT series, clearly does not want to make a simple "racing game". In previous interviews, he mentioned that he wanted to make a game that truly interprets car culture, as well as the idea of ​​a cafe that came from 25 years ago. Players will meet three masters in the cafe. By talking to them, they can learn about car history, design concepts, career achievements and many other interesting facts. These histories give emotion to these cold vehicle data. Absorbing car culture in this light-hearted and non-forced way may be the romance that Kazunori Yamauchi brings to players.

After relaxing after the game, you might as well come and chat with the master to learn more

In addition to music and cafes, there are many details in the game. I will not go into details here, but I will leave them as some little easter eggs for players to explore. .

It’s not just romance outside the vehicle, the “romance” inside the vehicle is not inferior at all. In addition to the track, the most discussed among players is the well-known complex driving interface and vehicle modification.

I believe that many players have the same idea as me when they see the actual driving interface. They are confused, what is this and what is that? To be honest, at first I could only recognize the accelerator, brake and gear. Bit. The word "professional" will be revealed to players for the first time here. However, although GT7 has a "professional" driving interface, it does not appear to be "repellent" in the game. On the contrary, during the journey of the game, players will follow the guidance step by step to mature, and finally experience this set of features that players are so excited about. Letao's interface brings a perfect racing experience.

The prestigious GT series driving interface

As for modifications, GT7 provides dazzling modification options. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough ink in my belly to comment on this complex system that I have never experienced in a game. Here it is I'll post a picture for all the players. If anyone has any advice, I'd be very grateful.

When I saw this, all I could think about was how to copy homework...

"Three generations of poor people with SLRs, playing with cars will ruin their lives"

Since the picture of this work is so good, how can such a beautiful scenery be without selfies. As a racing game, I didn't expect that GT7 would make the photography mode so detailed. Not only can you find your favorite angle through playback and pause, but you can also add exposure, aperture and lens filters to modify the picture and Style operations, these seemingly cumbersome things are very simple to use, and you can make homemade wallpapers with just a few adjustments.

In addition to the tracks in the game, you can also combine your car with more than 2,500 scenic spots in the world, from Spain to Mexico , from the Grand Canyon to the Akina Mountains. Through a few simple operations, You will get a beautiful photo of your car and the scenery. Through the in-game exhibition hall, you can share your own photos or view the wonderful designs of other riders, and any one of them will be a perfect desktop wallpaper.

Speaking of cars, there are many ways to obtain vehicles in the game. In addition to the vehicles given away after completing the coffee shop and driving license test tasks, players can also purchase vehicles through second-hand car dealers and brand halls. You can buy at will in the brand hall, but there is no discount on the price. In comparison, second-hand car dealers are much more friendly to the people, but you have to try your luck to see if you can get the vehicle you like. If you really get it but you don’t have enough money, you are not afraid. A sad thing.

is sold out

Currently, there are more than 400 GT7 vehicles installed, including the GR86 (his brother AE86 I believe everyone knows) that was released a few years ago, covering the needs of various car owners. Unfortunately, some car manufacturers still have the same vehicles, but the official promises to slowly add to this list in subsequent updates, so we are looking forward to it for the time being.

is a top-quality game, a world-class racing game.

GT7 is well-deserved to be the leader in car games due to its excellent quality. The professional and complex system and modifications have approachable guidance. The serious and rigorous game content has a romantic cultural output. GT7 is perfect. It balances the "professional", "realistic" and "difficult to use" mentioned at the beginning of this article, and satisfies the needs of high-end players while providing new players with an excellent gaming experience.

Although at this stage, the game still has a lot of minor problems, such as the logic of the computer UI may need to be adjusted (it was knocked out by them more than once...), but as the 25th anniversary of the series, there is no doubt that GT7 delivers It has produced a high-scoring answer sheet, which is responsible for the development of the GT series, and also represents the entire car culture in the gaming industry, looking back on history and looking forward to the future. As an otaku who doesn’t know much about cars in real life, I also learned about this time-honored culture through GT7, and I have to say that Kazunori Yamauchi’s methods are extraordinary.

GT7 may not be suitable for players who like to pursue a refreshing experience. Its complicated entry conditions and tracks that are not outstanding compared to the open world may disappoint you, but if you are a player interested in cars, you must not miss it. Such a unique game, in the simplest driving operation, you can find the original joy of driving accompanied by the roar of the engine on the track.
