Gran Turismo 7's Always Online Requirements are Unacceptable
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- For all those who love the experience of being inches away from the finish line on the final lap of a race in single player only to lose your connection to the server and get kicked back to the start screen, REJOICE! Daddy Sony has artificially contrived almost the entirety of Gran Turismo 7 to be held at gunpoint by your internet connection... HOW FUN! Sony just told everyone who cant access or afford a good internet connection that they can all hit the bricks! Doesn't it feel good to pay $70 for a racing game that is never truly yours and that a massive corporation can yank out of your hands at the drop of a hat? "PLAY HAS NO LIMITS" except for all the unnecessary and artificially-imposed limits...

People have already gotten a taste of just how bad GT7's always online DRM really is when the servers were down for more than 24 hours, rendering the game basically unplayable for more than a day!!! ruclips.net/video/6ixIMeIwAvs/видео.html
Also, what about Gran Turismo 7 not having Any New Cars! Other than the Newest car being a 2018 Camaro: and GT7 Released in 2022!!!!!!
Thank you for spreading the news. More people should know about this. We gain nothing from the always online DRM and lose everything once they shut the servers off.
Well put!
In this age of gaming “you’ll own nothing, just be happy” 🤦♂️
@@MrRtubers a sad state of affairs, to be sure
They usually leave the severs up for 3-4 months after the release of a new games so GTS will be gone very very soon
@@shorty808100 and proof if any more was even necessary that online DRM is the greatest blight on the entire videogame industry!
The fact that that gorgeous Porsche 917 concept car is gonna be held hostage by an online connection is the biggest tragedy of all
That is depressing, to be sure 😖
Welcome to the club. I remember when Sonyboys were laughing about Xbox getting online-only implemented after MS went back-and-forth about it. Sucks when the shoe’s on the other foot. Strap in. It’s going to be a long haul and there’s nothing you can do about it. This is about anti-cheating, and nothing else. They won’t backtrack on that.
Preordered GTSPORT back in 2016. Booted it up for the first time just to realise you always needed an internet connection for 90% of the content and to save progress. Wont be buying GT7 at any given price because I dont want to deal with that shit again.
I can already hear the sound of people furiously typing as their 4Hr endurance race was dropped to main menu right at the end because their internet connection dropped for a minute or so.
Reason # 342 why needless internet requirements are bs
thats their fault for having shit internet, ive played alot of GT sport and never been disconnected mid race, Dont listen to this xbox shill.
@@ConnorH2111 Don’t make me call Bill Gates!
@@ConnorH2111 While yes thats true. GTSPORT does do it differently and wont boot you out midrace
However that doesnt factor in the issues Gran turismo's own servers can have time to time like weekly maintenance or even sudden dropouts. You could have insane internet where you can download 1TB files in seconds but that wont save you from an issue from THEIR OWN SERVERS.
i had the same internet which was good when i had gt5 &6.gt6 i had a harder time keeping the game from crashing than a drunk chinese woman on a freeway in shanghai.
i do agree that having a constant internet requirement is a turn off
they killed the game before even launched. way to go to the GT franchise. -
SERIOUSLY?? I thought we seen the end of this bs after GT sport?!🤬😡 Thats the ONE thing i wanted for the game to be offline 100% for all content and yeah.. thanks for saving me 100$. Ill stick to Forza Horizon and motorsport. Those so far atleast have been fully offline. Sony SUCK when it comes to racing games.🤬😠
At this rate, GT should just go F2P. Like Genshin impact or fortnite etc. Thats the ONLY way ill accept online DRM for a game. If its Free to play. NOT for a premium game!!😡🤬
Couldn’t have expressed our personal contempt for this situation better ourselves. It’s an unforgivable sin to force players to connect to the internet for a $60 game, much less a $70 game! We don’t feel bad that we couldn’t get our hands on a PS5 anymore, that’s for sure...
y'all talkin like you've got no internet lol
@@spoonfat9628 whether or not we have internet is beside the point; requiring internet means that the player is always at the mercy of their connection and the persistence of the game’s servers. It means that nobody who buys the game will every truly own it, and THAT is the core issue at play.
It also has microtransactions
@@justanotherrandomontheyout4791 And I hate whenever they show up.
It's so sad to see how the GT community just ignores this, they go "Just play Arcade or GT6 lol".
So damn sad
Apathy is one of the greatest contributing factors to the gradual degradation of videogame ownership
That's just how pathetic Sony fanboys are and ALWAYS have been.
i didnt buy GT Sport because of the online only requirement. Now ,i wont be getting GT7 too unless they remove the dumb DRM decisionp
Glad to hear it, and hopefully your conviction is shared with the rest of the Gran Turismo fanbase!
Yup, I will laugh when GTsport servers shut down and how nobody is gonna be able to play it again
Is just stupid!!!
@@mewtwo.150 do not laugh at those who are robbed of GT Sport; pity them, for they have lost a racing experience that should have never been taken from them in the first place
You can play GT sport offline, GT7 will be the same, dont listen to this xbox shill.
@@ConnorH2111 how many times are you gonna keep posting the same comment? We get it: You are an unpaid corporate cheerleader and will defend Sony’s actions regardless of how egregious they are!
I bought this game the day it came out. I ranked it 8 out of 10 as I played for about an hour, then the PS Network went down for 10 minutes. It was then that I realized that they pulled the oki-doke on us. With only 1 area open, It immediately fell to a 5 out of 10. After noticing you cannot sell your cars or their upgrades... 3 out of 10. Now, I wish I saw this video before I bought it because I'd still have $60+ tax. Don't bother - even on sale. A patch can and will save this game, but don't expect it. They want too much control. Thanks for sharing, Dank!
I hope their servers go down for a week or two and people get pissed enough to demand an offline mode!
Honestly, for some people, something like that would need to happen for them to understand. Fortunately, reviews from Easy Allies, Dreamcastguy, Digital Foundry, and even IGN have brought up the DRM, resulting in a resurgence in backlash against the practice.
I won't be purchasing this until they patch in a offline playable mode for career.
hopefully this excellent video helps get the word out on this important issue. Most people don't tend to think of into the future which is why such a tactic exists. I'm mostly an xbox user but and the upcoming Halo Infinite and Horizon 5 has me just as concerned because devs refuse to say anything about these things. People definitely need to wake up to this practice
We hope so too and we thank you for your support. While people like AR15 have claimed the devs said Horizon 5 would not have online requirements, we aren’t gonna trust it until we have the game in our hands!
THEY'RE BOTH OFFLINE SONLY, PONY FANBOY, IF YOU WERE A REAL XBOX FAN, CLEARLY YOU WOULD KNOW THAT MS RESPECTS THEIR CUSTOMERS, THEY DON'T RIP THEM OFF, UNLIKE SCAM ARTISTS SONY DOES.
@@dsar8262 lol ok
Exactly on point. What happened to the good old days of offline play and LAN? These are must haves and they need to come back to allow you to truly own the game and have control.
Spread the word!
I would purchase GT7 if online wasn’t required. Shoot I would’ve been thrilled to purchase pre-order but I refuse to be tethered to online support. Internet isn’t always working/reliable. I’m not willing to “rent” this game from service provider
Neither are we!
As a Gran Turismo 1 to 6 and Gran Turismo for PSP, this is utterly pathetic by Polyphony. They take the fun out of it by forcing us to be like those GT Academy race driver wannabes in competitive online racing, other than playing single player modes.
What A Shame!
Your contempt for these anti-customer practices is appreciated and shared by all of us, though we would personally cast blame onto Sony as opposed to Polyphony. The developers are at the mercy of their publisher, and as history has taught us, it's the publisher who typically forces their developers to implement loot boxes, microtransactions, and always-online drm. This is probably the situation Polyphony finds themselves in with Sony, especially considering that Jim Ryan has more-or-less confessed his personal disdain for videogame preservation and thus has a clear motive for forcing GT7 to require a connection to a server that Sony could turn off whenever they want!
www.dualshockers.com/sonys-jim-ryan-backwards-compatibility-anybody-play/ - the quote is very telling
@@dankswank9088 Ah yes yes yes, the main culprit behind this is none other than Western Incompetent Sony and their leader Jim Rayn aka Don Mattrick in disguise. Especially how they advocate censorship to JP developers, killed off DriveClub and my favorite handheld, PS Vita.
You are right but sadly it will remain that way, what worked in 2013 in terms of backlash wont work these days since the younger audience wont mind this and dont have foresight, value things,etc
I hope you are wrong, for everyone's sake
The bad thing is that everyone doesn’t have psn! I’ve been a Gran Turismo fan since the third one, hopefully they change the online drm but keep the online requirement for sport mode and lobbies only.
If enough people put the pressure on Sony, there's nothing stopping us from achieving just that
@@dankswank9088 I think it's that way, so the cheaters can't get themselves unlimited amount of credits. Also, there are probably scoreboards too, and dont forget the game is always updating getting new tracks new cars new events ect ect and 100GB is not enough u need more than 3 discs to have all gt sport content, but i think is the FIA contract that is the problem
@@Ricardo29j that may be the justification used by sony's pr department, but even if it is true, we don't think it was worth inconveniencing the entire player base. Always-online infrastructure seems like punishing the majority of players for the actions of an incredibly small minority, and considering how likely it is that cheaters will find work-arounds for the drm, we can't help but feel that sony is sabotaging their premier racing series for nothing.
@@dankswank9088 good news arcade mode is offline
if they shut down the servers and no one can play is going to be bad image for polyphony digital and no one is going to buy any game from them ever
2013: sony makes fun of evil crash hungry microsoft for making Forza 5 always online
2017 - 2022 sony makes gran turismo always online, while you can play forza 5 - 7 and forza horizon 1 - 5 offline on Xbox One
How the mighty have fallen...
I remember that in the UK scene, at least in the preserving field, it was recommended not to buy any xbox console until the drm was removed to reactivate the licenses through online, that is, you have the game in physical and you do not need online to play but it You will need to reactivate the license something that they have not removed until today, although I have not followed the scene very closely
@@claudiomonteda8716 exactly this when MS did the DRM thing. I removed Forza 5 from my "games to buy list". They removed the DRM I put Forza 5 back on the list. It's ironic that I first removed GT Sport and now GT7 and will propably never put them back on the list again.
@@MAL9000. According to me they still continue with this DRM system on xbox consoles not including the 360, with DRM with a time limit for internet connection that is why I avoided everything related to the shit of license reactivation, steam, epic, microsoft, although I can be wrong
Edit: And investigated a bit and yes, they still have internet DRM for a limited time
@@MAL9000. Unfortunately, Forza 5 still had content carved out to be sold back to us as DLC 🤮
Its absolutely disgusting that this game requires an internet connection even for single player. Theres no reason for it, the developers can go to hell I'm not gonna buy something thats 100% guaranteed to stop working the second they shut the servers down (which Sony will absolutely do)
So basically it's renting the game until the server goes down.
Basically, yeah 😐
that awkward moment when EA of all companies we're actually having some courage to removing the always-online requirement in NFS Payback & Heat, unlike the supposed "pro-racing gamer" Polyphony Digital for whatever reason, shows how much of a joke the state of racing games and game companies we're nowadays
Forza Horizon and motorsport are also offline racing franchises that dont have stupid DRM crap.
Yeah it is pretty depressing when a PlayStation exclusive makes EA look good, but we’re willing to bet Sony bears the blame for this instead of Polyphony. Like loot boxes, DRM and always-online requirements tend to be the result of publisher interference.
@@coreymckee4844 It is much worse on xbox, since the DRM is linked to the console since it has a certain time limit to connect to the internet, that is why I have not bought any xbox from the 360
@@coreymckee4844 yeah, but they really f*ck up with forza 7 and horizon 3 and 4,
but the forza 7 got really to the point of almost no return. thats why horizon 5 can change things for better if they dont screw up so hard
EA has improved a lot in recent years, and become a pro consumer company, I feel just fine buying their games, they're not the ripoff artists they used to be.
GT7 GT mode will be 100% online
In other words, you won't be able to play it once the servers shuts down
Unlike GT4 (1-6 GTs) that you can play them whenever you want
Think wisely if buy it or not
I protest against it, and I do it don't buying it, till get this BS done right!!!!
As you should
As a life long Gran Turismo fan , i am DONE! with GT FOREVER! i was looking so forward to purchasing GT7 and I'm glad i found this out before buying it . i recently purchased Forza Motorsport 7 for my Xbox Series X and I am completely satisfied with it , it's simply Amazing even after all this time... loving it! and now I'm looking forward to Forza Motorsport 8 .
Yea Sony loves being anti-comsumer . I'm not surprised I'm getting sick of it for sure
It’s also a shame that their competition from Microsoft isn’t really any better
@@dankswank9088 well they have gamepass at least. But Sony sucks right now getting cocky like after ps2 days
There focus online makes zero sense given how small the online racing community is. By creating a better single player experience, your customer base is 50x larger.
Yeah it’s the single reason I won’t buy the game, studios need to stop forcing online nonsense on folks, and I’ll just continue not to buy their trash until they fix it, I won’t hold my breathe though.
It's anti consumer and plain stupid, if anything happens to PSN servers the game goes down too, it's not just GT7 servers (i had that problem with NFS 2015) and TDU 2 you can't even play it without modding the game and THAT ain't happening in a console, MAYBE a future PS4 emulator but at that point i'm not even going to bother with this game
Since Playstation moved their HQ they've been making one stupid decison after another, i wonder why...🤦♂️
We blame Jim Ryan
Watch SomeOrdinaryGamers' video on PS4 emulation.
In short: PS4 emulators do exist but its effectively in its baby steps and you're lucky to get into the main menu of any game (still, very impressive considering how long ago work has actually started on PS4 emulation).
PS3 emulators exist aswell, but they still need to be ironed out. A functioning PS4 emulator wont even be ready by the time the GT7 servers close down in the future, for example.
If you want the link, here it is: ruclips.net/video/LNrrj82h7vU/видео.html&ab_channel=SomeOrdinaryGamers
@@Lego___ i know, i follow emulation very closely
@@dankswank9088 Sony seriously need to move PS HQ back to Japan and put someone passionate in charge of them before Japanese devs just give up and move to PC/Switch completely, if I knew they would censor so many Japanese games I wouldn't have bothered with the PS4
No buy from me. If we allow them to do this then it will start creeping into other games.
Exactly!
Imagine completing a 24hr race and your internet cuts out on the last lap...
If Sony didn't insist upon forcing us to play online, we wouldn't need to!
Agreed, which is why I am keeping my $70 and skipping this entry. Such a shame, could be a great game and I'm sure they'd make plenty of $ with the game itself and reasonably priced DLC car/track packs or whatever. But instead, it's micro transactions which is why the game is always online so they can watch your every move and never lose a penny to some exploit. And the "always online" thing is NOT to stop cheaters and if u believe that, you're a sucker.
Thanks for talking about this, totally agree man it sucks. I'm not buying GT7 until offline career mode is available.
It's basically a mobile cloud game disguise as a retail triple a game. If a game had to rely on a server via the internet for you to be able to play whether single and multiplayer then it's a cloud game no questions ask. The disc or download is literally just a launcher.
This is why I'm not getting the game. It was a problem with Gran Turismo Sport and it's going to be a problem with this game. Won't be dealing with this franchise for the foreseeable future until they abandon always-online DRM. If they don't, I'll just play the old ones forever.
Gran Turismo 7 is now MMORG (Massively Multplayer Online Racing Game) this why is gaming is not the same anymore. What’s next is Nintendo gonna require internet to play Pokémon games, Zelda games, Metroid or Super Mario games? Or Square-Enix is gonna require internet to play Final Fantasy 16?! Or Microsoft gonna require Xbox Live to play Halo or Forza Horzion (Which I don’t even play Xbox at all.) And even Steam is gonna require players to sign into Steam account to play Steam games! Is it just me or Sony is trying to be like EA?!
For the sake of literally everyone who plays videogames, let's hope not
@@dankswank9088 And Arcade Mode in Gran Turismo 7? Oh, but guess what? INTERNET REQUIRED FOR THAT!
@@MusicaFullbuster "internet required for most functionality" is the statement on playstation's official website, which is a bit of an understatement considering that an internet connection is required to play *checks notes* THE ENTIRE GAME
I hope not. 110 percent.
In time it will become gt online and it will be a yearly subscription this is what there working towards you don’t own the game you just play the game so you don’t own shit
Why not create a petition against the DRM? And create a online bombardment of Anti DRM campaigns.
I hope there one going.
I was excited for this game for such a long time and then completely walked away from this series when I found out that it requires a permanent online connection to the servers. Bye Polyphony Digital.
Can’t blame you; we’re kinda on-the-fence with Forza Horizon after they made a similar decision (more on that in a later video)
Ill wait for it to be $20, due to its drm it has turned this game into a long rental and nothing more.
Exactly
*i miss older Gran Turismo games more right now, i have the GT4 but i really wish i had the GT2*
You can play GT2 without a PS1. Its possible to get an emulator for it.
@@Lego___ *screw emulators i want the real thing 😒*
Won’t buying any game that requires online.. I don’t rent the console, won’t rent the game.
Exactly!
a deciding factor for a game purchase turn off should be when a Solo mode requires internet to even play. why spend money on a game that can be yanked from you when a live service is all it is
Well put!
This aged too well.
Unfortunately, yes
I have a small hope that this is the straw that breaks the camel's back when it comes to single player games being always online. Sadly this probably won't change anything.
We can only hope it will
Well that sucks why can't Sony do what Microsoft are doing with the Forza Motorsport games and the Forza Horizon games? I know you have to connect to the internet to access some features like the auction house, downloading custom tunes, downloading custom paintjobs/liveries other than that All of them are playable without having to connect to the internet
Even Gran Turismo 5 on PS3 is playable without having to connect to the internet although the game will keep bugging you to sign in to PSN on every menu you click on 😂
The short answer is that they can do exactly what Forza is doing - Sony just chose not to with little care for how it would affect their players
Always Online, huh?! It should be free.
The cost of this DRM is so high, they should pay us to play their 'live service'.
That's a sentiment we can get behind! Like with loot boxes and microtransactions, DRM should only be in free-to-play games!
Omg I was hyped for GT7 but after this I'm angry. I'll be leaving a message on the latest Sony GT7 trailer video! They're deceptive making people feel the nostalgic vibes without telling the truth! 😡
Sony should be ashamed
Sad when they won't tell you it's online only
“They tell you it’s just in the fine print” - Sony fanboys
The drm plan for the xbox even thoe they never did it in the end is why I ditched microsoft for sony and remember the if you have no connection stay with the 360 thing they said well that was the second reason.
We can't blame you
As much as I loved the trailer, I think I'll be steering away from this title, hopefully this decision can be reversed. I'll stick to tdu and tdu2.
Wise decision
I'm with you guy i think sony have shot themselves in the foot with this game i no hundreds of people who will not going to buy this because of the online crap so sony can suck it in my books🤬 like your work Dan well said 👍🙂
Here's hoping the hundreds of people you know will be but a small sample of the millions of people who won't buy this game until Sony fixes it 🤞
Might elsewhale name it gran.turismo sport 2
1 less cars than gran.turismo 6
2 online connections for most things
:/
It would be more honest advertising, that's for sure!
You placed a deposit on this game...you didn't buy it. From the moment you start playing it, you're still paying, and paying and paying! This is an absolute disgrace. I've dumped Gran Turismo and I'm going to make certain that thousands of others learn about this, and hopefully do the same.
I can finally leave this behind. First disrespecting Moon Over the Castle/Knight's Song, now this.
PlayStation perhaps, need to remember where its roots should belong.
We miss when you could just plug in the console and play without having to worry about any of this nonsense
If it is online only I guess I won't be getting a ps5 then... I legit don't care about ps5 since I have a good pc. But for Granturismo I would 100% get one(granted its good ofc, but it seems like it won't be).
Smart decision, and the deceitful way Sony tried to sneak this past us is further proof that if you are buying a console for one game, make sure to wait until the game is released and you know what you're getting into before buying it!
I was thinking of getting a ps5 for this game but now knowing it’s coming to PS4: 1. I can just get it for a console I have, and 2. It means the game won’t actually be good enough to make a Ps5 worthwhile
Welp, guess I'll be playing Forza Horizon 5 instead.
Here's hoping Playground games hasn't had to make the same DRM decision as Polyphony...
@@dankswank9088 You can bet your ass they also did I mean how are the seasons changes etc. going to be controlled?
@@johnhowden4801 same as fh4, everything is online like the open world with real players but you can play completely offline with ai if you want to
Im glad someone is making this known, everything will require internet and be completely digital one day, unfortunately its inevitable... hopefully my ps3 lasts, stuck with gran turismo 6... or spring for an xbox one just to play forza...
While we agree that that's how the industry wants games to be in the future, we maintain hope that this future is not inevitable. The popularity and success of platforms like GOG, along with the continued backlash against these anti-customer practices, is proof positive that a better future is possible.
What a joke.
A cruel one, to be sure. ruclips.net/video/MzKlmNLTkXM/видео.html
Plus not a dam person who played this has even mentioned it
Fortunately, many prominent review outlets have! Easy Allies, Digital Foundry, and even IGN (YEAH, REALLY) have brought it up in their coverage and reviews of the game, leading to a resurgence in backlash against the game. It's unclear how much this affected sales, but it at the very least represents a pressure placed on Sony to do the right thing and at least patch offline functionality into the game.
Hackers? Get to work. There must be a work around…… I paid the scalper’s price for the console, full retail for the compatible wheel, shifter and stand. I preordered the 25th Anniversary disc thinking I had bought a game and system for many years. Turns out Sony/Poliphony is just renting it to me and the contract ends on a date of their choosing. I foolishly made my assumption as I still drive and enjoy gt5 & gt6 even though support ended years ago. I’m a fool. I’ll be looking for an unapproved work around solution to extend the life of my investment or should I cut my losses and sell the brand new, unused PS5 now. It’s seven days to the Polyphony’s gt7 release and after months of planning and dreaming of my next driving game I’ve just lost my enthusiasm.
We can’t blame you for feeling this way
I will never buy an always online game again i did tge mistake on destiny for ps3 and xbox one & for honor on ps4 and never was able to play 👍 But sadly to say its tge future... So no gaming for me in future
If it were free to play I'd be ok with it. For a game I am paying to not own? No thanks... Started with Forza because of GT Sport, guess will stick to it because of GT7...
I still boot up GT5 from time to time just for the good old memories. Same won't be possible for Sport and 7.
Didn't buy gran tourism sport either on PS4 won't be getting gran tourismo 7 either
That’s the plan!
Offline mode and you can't do shit! Anybody wanna buy a used gt7 ps4 launch edition. I don't have full-time wifi I have bills to pay
As you can probably tell from our video, we aren't exactly in the market for GT7 lol. That said, we have a follow-up video discussing people defending this awful DRM, so maybe you could find one of those people to buy it off of you!
They just lost my 70$
Annnnnnd deleted from ps wishlist
We can’t blame you!
@@dankswank9088
It was one of my most hyped games for next year.
I'm sick of games I can put on my shelf and then not be able to play it's Solo content in its entirety
I'm sick of this "online only is the future" bs people say too. There is no such thing as "this don't work unless it's online"
Game creators CREATE How a game works.
They choose how a game works and they choose to make it online only so I choose to not support DRM practices of any kind.
Unless a game is FREE or like half the price of a triple A game I'm never gunna support Online only. It does nothing for the solo gamer
Games cost toooo much for a games to have a life time that can expire
@@Free_Hugz that’s a commendable stance we can get behind! We’re really sick of the fallacious “online is future” argument as well; I mean, global warming/climate is the future too but that doesn’t mean it’s good or that we should just accept it! While polyphony did technically put in the always online, the decision to include drm, like the decision to include microtransactions and loot boxes, typically comes from the publisher, not the developer. With that in mind, Sony and Jim Ryan are far more deserving of our contempt than polyphony.
Sad to see GT7 needs DRM for single player stuff. Now we are going to see what will happen to Gran Turismo Sport since GT games servers goes out quickly when a new title is released. If they don't do like a last update for offline save, then all my time and energy spent on GTS will be gone. I pre ordered GT7 since I'm still hype for the game, but most likely will play for a little bit and collect dust since I don't want to put a lot of time and energy on a game that on the future will be gone.
Completely understandable; it makes no sense to invest progress in a game if that progress will be stripped away and impossible to recover after a certain point. That said, a final update to the game also won’t really undo the problem since the update is also dependent upon an internet connection. Sure, it will initially solve the problem, but considering PlayStation’s tenuous relationship with preservation (the potential shutdown of the psp and ps3 stores serving as the most recent example), we may still be in a “the game will someday be all but unplayable” situation. Unlike if the game was shipped with the offline functionality burned into the physical disk itself, the dependence on an offline patch means that all it takes is the patch being delisted from the psn for us to be back where we started, and anyone lucky enough to get the patch prior to the delisting have to hope they never absent-mindedly delete GT7 to make space or that their console never needs to hard-reset at any point in the future...
Sorry, i don't know about others but Polyphony has just absolutely destroyed what once was a great game. I played GT since GT1, 2, 3, 3-Aspec, 4, 5 prologue, 5, 6, so i've played pretty much every single one excluding GT Sport which was the first to do away with offline sinlge player campaign. To me, GT Sport wasn't even that good in terms of car physics compared to previous versions anyway, what was good about that one was the FIA approved races, thats it. This DRM bs, online only crap, paid subscription to play other portions of the game is killing the franchise off. This is just my own opinion, i may be just a few out of a small minority who think this, i don't really care what others think or say to be honest. I see this happening with NFS 2015, where they took off the servers for that game offline, so anyone who bought that game cannot even play it anymore, the reason why gamers buy games is to simply to enjoy them in their own free time whenever they feel like it, we paid for them in full price. The thing is, nowadays, we pay for games which have DRM's, are online only, but fact is we don't really own what we bought & paid for, this will slowly kill off this franchise, i see a lot of other companies like EA, who have done this with NFS 2015, and i know a lot of people who weren't very happy that EA decided to take NFS 2015 servers offline indefinately. Maybe i'm wrong about GT7, i hope i am for other gamers sake. If Polyphony & Sony entertainment go down the same route as EA in regards to their NFS 2015 game, then this franchise is as good as dead imo. I don't really see much of a future for Gran Turismo at this point.
The graphics look crappier too me, because it’s cross play it’s a PS4 game with PS5 slapped on the disc for ppl with PS5’s, ppl should have expected this from GTS duh, ya I lost 3k DR once because I had a brown out while I was in first place sucked, all you need is an internet connection to play, now to play all features you have to have PS Gold like GTS if you don’t have PS gold you can’t do dailies or FIA
The game still looks pretty breathtaking to us, but then again, maybe we lack an eye for the subtleties that separate PS4 and PS5 games
My servers are down are u telling me I won't b able to play the game on line no more?
I predict that Polyphony is gonna get sued over this!
Sony is doing all the wrong decisions this gen.
They certainly seem to be
WAS a HUGE gran turismo fan. But alas after watching this im afraid GT Sport might be the last (and frustratingly) final title for the Playstation console.
Time to grow up I guess 😔 🤔 😔
While we certainly share your grievances for the always-online nature of GT7, PlayStation did put out a firmware update that fixed the cmos battery issue after outcry, so we are maintaining hope that Polyphony will be allowed to fix this game to work offline prior to launch.
I did say that GT will lose a lot of offline player-base due to this but you have to realize, the only group PD listens to the top split drivers in GT; meaning from now on forwards, GT will be revolved around an online multiplayer game. Tbh the AI, licenses and career mode I may find boring if not challenging. Every new racing game coming out will end up requiring network connection let alone will probably have an online system that will be utilized.
MY issue with GT right now is since GT Sport was badly executed, my worry is that they learned nothing from the last game and they’ll butcher the absolute hell out of this game with the online. Still 16 player lobbies, we need ACTUAL DAILY RACES and not WEEKLY races, dynamic weather and time of day is on select-tracks (my thinking is world tracks will have that as the fictional won’t), and the graphics isn’t a big deal for me but looks nothing improved from the last game. Still lots to unfold but if people closely followed GTS instead of completely waiting till GT7 you’d know why lots of people was never on the hype train to begin with
Dude, is not about anything of what you say
Is way simple
If you are playing a 100% online game, and when the servers shut down (as GT5, GT6)
What are you left with?
That's where you realize you NEVER BOUGHT a game, you rent it
Is BS!!!
Theirs still time for them to change their minds and have an offline campaign mode at least they can do
Absolutely! That’s part of the reason we made this video; to spread the word and increase the backlash in order to pressure Sony to fix the game prior to launch
Oh dear!
drm and mtx, name a worse combo!
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein (microtransactions and DRM aren't that far off, tho)
Your worries became reality
Unfortunately
It was same as mortal Kombat 11 most of it is online which ruined the game on PS4 and PS5 mortal Kombat X was is so much better on PS4
Any time a series transitions into an always online game, the prior games retroactively become better by comparison!
I feel for the people with bad or no internet connection, they really suffer from this decision. But those who have solid connections i dont see what the problem is. Why is this bad? Im not trolling, i want to understand!
Eventually, it won’t matter how good their internet connection is because once Sony shuts the servers down the game will be rendered unplayable.
Awesome Video Babe! I know you're really irritated by the DRM for GT7 and all other games but I got us AT&T Fiber and a Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router for our apartment. Thanks for being such a supportive OnlyFans BF! Love ya!

I don't buy online games on PS4 or PS5
Won't buy it for £5
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Sony soyboys! Online-only isn’t so funny now, is it? Meanwhile MS is buying up every developer they can. Good luck in the coming generations!
To be honest, most players play the online part of the game... You only start the single player part to get free cars and money to start your collection, but as soon as you got the majority of Gr3 and Gr4 cars you can ditch it and focus on the online part... I only play single player if my internet is down, since you can't do that with GT7 its stupid beyond believe... Keep the pressure up, this is unacceptable bullshit
You had us in the first half, not gonna lie lol
Wanna know the difference between what you say and GT7
You can still playing GT4
But once the servers shuts down for GT7, you won't be able to play again
In other words you are renting a game
See the anger now?
bad fot gt7
I aleady preordered the game!I'm just a casual player i dont give a shit about when they close the servers and shit i just want to play the game for a few months and then move on to the next new game,but i get it this is not a good move!
Do what’s right by you, we suppose... at least you understand our contempt for these forced requirements...
Probs get rid of ps5 , GT7 , say online only . glad I didn't drop coin on GT7 .... Go Xbox now...
Why do that their lossing fans
I think always online can be a problem, but i am not to bothered with that, i am still hyped for gt7 and going to buy it day one👍
I'll only be playing the arcade-mode anyway, so I don't have a big probleme with that. But I can understand the possible frustration and anger of other people...
We appreciate your understanding given that a depressingly large number of people don’t move past the “it doesn’t affect me so who cares about anyone else” mindset
If they can make it offline for arcade then they can do the same for career mode.
Whinge whinge 😢 blah blah …
GT Sport on PS4 is always online too, so it's nothing new.
So? Loot boxes aren't anything new in Fifa, but that doesn't justify their existence either.
@@dankswank9088 Since when did GT have loot boxes?
@@VentilatorGaming in the same way that older FIFA games having loot boxes in the past does not make it ok for current FIFA games to have loot boxes, always online drm in prior GRAN TURISMO games doesn’t make it ok for new GRAN TURISMO games to have always online drm
@@dankswank9088 Yeah. Online DRM for Single Player is just stupid either way.
"Kingdom of Amalur" is a old single player only game, and had online DRM. The sales tanked for that reason and the developer went bankrupt. Why did people stop voting with their wallets in future games?...
Over 90% is against NFT, but that sadly don't stop UBI.
xbox fanboy doesnt have clue.
Petulant Sony Pony doesn’t have self-awareness
@@dankswank9088 Its already been confirmed you can play GT7 even if the servers get shut down, stick to forza the cod of racing games, same shit every year.
@@ConnorH2111 only arcade mode. That’s the equivalent of call of duty requiring internet for everything (the campaign, zombies, squads, multiplayer, etc) except tdm against bots; it’s only playable on a technicality. The core of Gran Turismo, it’s single playercareer mode, is always online, and that’s what matters.
@@dankswank9088 they will patch campaign mode for offline just like in Gt sport, stop spreading false news.
@@ConnorH2111 you’re writing a check that you can’t cash
I don't see an issue with requiring a constant connection, but I see an issue with it not being clearly stated as a requirement.
They implemented this for anti-cheat reasons, not DRM. It is to protect the save games from being modified. If they didn't do this, someone could and would modify the save game for unlimited in-game currency that they didn't earn or purchase. This could then be carried over into MP, which would be a huge problem for maintaining the integrity of competitive MP racing. If the game were only SP, then I would wonder why it needs an always on internet connection, but it isnt.
Also, it is a misconception that software is every actually "owned" by the consumer. Software has always been licensed for use, not ownership. It is stated in every terms and conditions agreement.
A few things here:
1. If Sony really had an issue with people artificially boosting the earnings of their save games, they wouldn’t have included in-game currency that can be bought with real money. Sony is perfectly fine with people getting an unfair advantage; they just want to make money off of it.
2. Just because something is written in a EULA doesn’t mean it is actually contractually binding or legal. In fact, many people have argued that the game industry’s purported assertion of players owning only a license infringes upon consumer protections and private property rights, along with other infringements based upon the captive nature of the game audience (you don’t have any option to buy an offline version of GT7).
Regardless of what Sony or Polyphony claim as the reason for it’s inclusion, it is DRM; it’s software that, intentionally or not, acts to inhibit manipulation and duplication of digital media by the end user.
@@dankswank9088 Thank you for your reply.
It always about making money. They are not alone in that. It seems that almost every game these days has an option to purchase in-game currency with real money, but that is another issue entirely. Yes, the need to maintain a connection to a server does effectively as a form of DRM. But isn't every console game already protected by nature of it being on a console?
If you don't like it, don't buy the game.
Don't worry; we won't
I won’t either.
Why would somebody support a game that require internet connection only for single player games?? Have you even ask yourself that question that's not good for the gaming industry for all gaming community by any means necessary.
GT7 is not that good no way and this game have heavily microtransaction in a single player game.
At the end of the day I will be playing better video games than just a boring racing game I don't support games that require DRM service only for single player games that shady business practice...
@@kenshijones7819 huh...?!!!!
GT7 25th anniversary pre ordered, bring it lol, who cares about the online issue, I have Internet, good Internet, never had issues on GTS, will be enjoying the game regardless.
To answer your rhetorical question, a lot of people care, and with good reason. We recommend that you re-watch our video to understand what those reasons might be, because your comment radiates an incredibly off-putting and short-sighted "fuck yours; got mine"-type-energy
@@dankswank9088 tbf, I went through all the comments and quite frankly all the comments are very negative and are like its the end of the world... yes i agree, I would prefer not needing constant Internet, but hey, I love the GT's and it didn't bother me in GTS so I don't see why it would bother me in GT7. Everyone has their own opinions and I have mine, its really not a big deal for me personally.
@@Gamer_Dan_79 well just keep in mind sir it will be a big deal for other gamers like me and the community who actually cares about this situation.
I don't want my single player games having DRM that is really bad what's the point of buying a video game if I'm not going to be able to play it within 10 years later once the service is shut down the game is totally useless that's what you need to look at and try to understand.
Its a competitive game! it needs online only to prevent cheaters and modders!
Yeah, cheaters and modders that will find ways around the always online requirements like they always do while honest players are punished for nothing... whatever temporary “benefits” are brought by requiring an internet connection are far outweighed by the inconvenience and long-term consequences of artificially forcing players to rely on Sony’s servers.
@@dankswank9088 are you serious? they havnt found a way around GT sport so they defo wont be finding a way around GT7.
@@ConnorH2111 oh I guess that makes it justified that the game will be wiped from the face of the planet someday and nobody will be able to enjoy it anymore 🙄
Lol looks like you've never played any games since that obviously won't work and has never worked. It is so thay in 3 years when they release the new one the game is literally unplayable.
