[Released today] The latest work of the "Gran Turismo" series!Review "Gran Turismo 7", which pursues a more realistic car life!

On Friday, March 4, 2022, the real driving simulator "Gran Turismo 7" was released by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).This work is the latest work of the "Gran Turismo" series, and is the culmination of the technology that the work has cultivated in 25 years.This time, I would like to deliver the reviews I played just before the release of this work.In the review, I played the "cafe", which is in the campaign mode of this work, to the end.

The base where various facilities gather is the axis of the game

In this work, we will proceed with the game based on the base where several facilities gathered."World Circuit" containing courses around the world, "cafe", which is a campaign mode, "used" that sells used cars, "brand central" that can purchase cars after 2001, and car parts.There are various types, such as.

Immediately after the game starts, most facilities are locked, so you need to proceed with the cafe first.In the cafe, the theme of the "Menu Book" is cleared, and as a reward, the functions of the facility are released or a car is presented.Most of the tasks are collected by specific cars, and it is basically to participate in a race where you can get a car for the top prize or purchase at a store in the base.Although it is easier to buy, it is to use the "credit" of the in -game currency instead of hot water.If you buy it every time, you tend to lose money to customize, so I personally recommend racing for driving practice.

Although there is a liberation of the facility, the appeal of the cafe is that you can learn the knowledge of the car.Luka can hear the topics common to cars collected by players, such as "Nissan Sports Car" and "Mustang", as they can get rewards by doing issues.

It summarizes topical stories, such as the year when the car was released, the achievements in the race, the number of units sold, and the impact of them, so even people like the writer who are familiar with cars are interested.I can have it.In addition to specific stories, photos of the present and early 20th century are also included, and there is a response.Rather than simply emphasizing car lovers, it was thought to be able to convey more attractiveness to more people, and I felt the enthusiasm of the developers.

The car you get can be confirmed in the "picture book".History and characteristics are written in detail, and it seems to be valuable as a material.

The cafe is a mode like teaching materials, so to speak, where you can learn the history of driving and car through games.As a racing driver, it does not change around the world, so if you are expecting a crunchy race, you may feel a bit of a shoulder.However, it teaches the knowledge of car gently and deeply, and in that sense, the "cafe" mode of "Gran Turismo 7" can be accepted by car lovers and beginners.

Real image quality and immersion in driving

"Gran Turismo 7", which has a real driving simulation, allows you to enjoy a thoroughly comparable race.With the help of many advisors, including the legendary F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, the behavior of cars during racing and the effects of climate and wind direction are reproduced in the game.

Because the weather changes in real time, the rain that has fallen on the course may stop on the way, and depending on the location, the puddle is dry, so it is tremendous to reproduce the reality.The movement of the raindrops remaining in the body and the movement of the instruments placed in the car was also confirmed.This time I played the PS4 version, so I couldn't see the "Late Racing" (technology that reflects light reflections, etc.), but the image quality and texture of this work still have high quality.I could fully understand.

There are 34 types of courses from real ones to "Gran Turismo" originals.

In other words, driving requires the same technique in reality, and a rough operation is fatal in racing.The author, who had been a full -fledged racing game for a long time, had to fix the habit of turning the curve from the maximum speed.It decelerates in front of the curve and accelerates just before the turn.At first glance, such technologies are noticeable, but in fact delicate movements are required.

If you make a mistake in the brake and handle handle according to the angle of the corner, you will immediately get out of the course.If you step on the accelerator to regain the late time, this time it is not a bend because of the sudden acceleration.If there is a right angle or more sharp corner, you will have to move on the alley of the residential area with a slow slowness.In addition, even if it is a gentle curve, if you are too fast, the body may lose balance and spin it as it is.During the race, I can't be careless for a while.

Nürburgring, one of the world's leading difficulties.One of the two types "North Course" has a total length of about 20 km

As I repeated trial and error, I was going to do the same movement with other AIs who wanted to pull out as much as possible.It was not a compromise or a good idea for AI to run at a fixed angle and speed, but rather a necessary technique to reduce the time.There is no point in changing the running strangely, and the foundation is the strongest.It seems that this work has arrived at this result because it is not a game deformed as a game, but is pursuing driving realistically.

As a result of being put on the opponent's pace or nervous about the air of the place, it is described as "drink" that the original power cannot be demonstrated, but in this work you will feel the tension of being swallowed.I can do that.If you catch up with the leading group in the latter half of the final lap, if you want to pull it out at the corner, you will not win anymore.As soon as it accelerated, the balance that had been kept until then collapsed in an instant, the car spinning, and the pace in myself was disturbed.It is hard to rebuild the rhythm once broken, and from the point of view, if you do it with the final lap, it will be done immediately.

If you are conscious of the first place, you will not be the first place.I realized in this work the importance of protecting my pace.In the latter half of the tasks that can be obtained in the cafe, the number of powerful cars increased, and the burdock made in the early stages became difficult, and the above mistakes tended to increase.

In a dirt race, run on an unpaved road.Unlike the circuit, it is slippery and difficult to control the body.It is also attractive to be able to drift and jump depending on the speed.

When it rains and runs on a "wet" course, the tension increases even more.It is difficult to accelerate and decelerate because the road surface is slippery.When you run on a dry tires for racing, the body shakes left and right even in a loose corner.The grip power is increased just by replacing it with a wet tire, and the operability can be considerably easier, but it is still difficult because the splash of the first car is blocked by the splash of the first car.

However, the fact that they keep running in such a state, that is, their ability is considerable, and they are happy to feel the growth.Whether the reality pursued to create a real race is given to the immersion or stress, but at least for me, it was a good element that I could immerse in the world.

Enhanced modes and functions for beginners

The delicacy required for driving is required, but this work also includes many elements for those who are not good at lace games.

In the license, one of the bases, racing is performed according to various goals.There are a lot of modes for those who are starting a race, from the basics of the basics, such as stopping from the start, to how to bend in different corners, and how to run in dirt.

Each goal is quite short, and it is quite easy because it can be completed in one minute at a time.It is divided into five stages from domestic B -class to super license, and will be cleared in order from class B.To be promoted, you have to pass all the goals of that class and pass the graduation exam.

In other words, if you have the skills to do the graduation exam, you can surely go for the next license.It is possible to challenge the higher level little by little while checking the feeling of your skills rising.Each goal includes gold, silver, and bronze badges for each clear time, and if you conquer each class license with bronze or gold, you can get a car as a reward.If you are a beginner, you should also try car collection and training.

In "Mission", the presented conditions are cleared.It is similar to a license, but this is more for actual battles.Just right for skills

There are many assist functions running.There are "for beginners", "for intermediate -level", and "for advanced", each of which is a different item for assistance.For beginners, it automatically helps to cut out the brakes and handles in the right position.In addition, you can display the location where you perform the brake and the marker indicating the position to run.If you are not confident, you should use assists for beginners first.

However, there is a limit to AI correction, so if you start to worry about driving time, I want to turn off the brakes and handle assistance at least.The assist function can be set individually for each item, so it is recommended to decide according to your play style.In the case of the writer, the brakes and handle corrections were erased quickly, leaving only markers indicating the location of the car and the location of the brake.

Customize the body by combining various parts

The tuning shop at the base has more than 60 kinds of parts.There are five categories: "Sports", "Club Sports", "Semi Racing", "Racing", and "Extreme", which basically sell more performance parts in this order.At first you can only buy sports, but if you collect cars and raise the "collector's level", you will be released little by little.

If you change the parts, the "PP" of the car will go up and down.PP stands for performance points and indicates the performance of the car.Basically, the higher the car, the faster.There are small items such as total displacement, maximum torque, and power weight ratio, but at least when the last task of the cafe was cleared, there was no problem if the PP was given priority.

"GT Auto" can adjust the body.You can replace the deteriorated engine oil and the body

In "Car Setting", you can replace the parts you get and make more detailed adjustments.The suspension can be replaced, the vehicle height can be changed in one memory, and the position of the aerodynamic parts attached to the front and back of the vehicle can be changed.These adjustments affect the PP and also change the feel of driving.In order to reduce driving time or fight the world in online play, you will need a precise tuning that matches your car or your style.However, at this point, it is an area of excitement, so I want to get used to the large part of customization of parts.

Nevertheless, there are participation conditions in this race, and some of them have the upper limit of PP.A car caught in PP cannot be used in that race.However, you can lower the PP by using the "ballast" and "power restrictors" sold at the tuning shop to increase the weight and narrow down the engine output.Players who want to go with one reinforced car are also safe.

"Skapus" allows you to take photos of cars.In addition to selecting more than 2,500 shooting spots, you can adjust the production and effects in detail.

As a simulator, this series has a 25 -year history as a racing game, but without its history, "Gran Turismo 7" has also considered consideration for those who do not know the operation of the car.Thanks to assist functions and licenses, it is easy for beginners to play, and there is a tuning that can be played with real driving elements and numbers.Please play this work made as the culmination of the series.
