Gran Turismo 7 releases tomorrow, 4th March, for PlayStation 5 and PS4, and the one-word descriptor for the game is "passion". As noted in our Gran Turismo 7 review, Polyphony Digital's love of automobiles and the culture surrounding them is palpable throughout the experience, and it all kicks off with an opening movie of epic proportions.
Sony has uploaded this eight-minute montage to YouTube for all to see, and it sure is something. Featuring real-world footage and eventually transitioning to gameplay, the movie takes us through major events in humanity's history since the introduction of cars, highlighting things like the Titanic disaster and the moon landing — between footage of the rising popularity of racing, of course. It's an indulgent and melodramatic introduction to the game, and it's hard to not love it.
If this doesn't sell you on the game's obsessive and charmingly nerdy direction, we doubt anything will. Are you excited to jump into the driver's seat with Gran Turismo 7? Buckle up in the comments section below.

But is the intro music by Feeder?
I thought not 😂
Already received my copy.
😎
Makes up for HFW being delayed by one day I guess!
First time I’ve ever preordered a racing game. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow 😁
👎S E V E N T Y Q U I D👎
I'll watch it at midnight!
I was going to buy Horizon Forbidden West, and wait on Elden Ring and GT7.
Then the reviews for Elden Ring started pouring in and I thought I'll just get HFW and Elden Ring, and wait on GT7.
Then the reviews for GT7 started pouring in and I though stuff it, lets just have the lot.
I'm going to leave Ghostwire: Tokyo though...
@hbkay for hundreds upon hundreds of hours of entertainment.
Bargain!
@Futureshark dude, same. I was hoping for at least one of those games to flop but it seems they're all wonderfull. Thank God I'm not interested in Dying Light 2 cause there's just not enough time for everything.
@Futureshark I'm in that same spiraling madness. I swore off either HFW or Elden Ring until I finished the other. I am currently playing both. I swore of GT7 as I am not a racing sim fan and because I have the other two to play, yet my PS APP on my phone is hovering over the pre-order button...
I promised myself I'd never pay over £50 for a PS5 game.
Starting to regret that now...
It doesn’t have Feeder though
@hbkay £38 from Turkish store. Better for you? It is for me. Pay £70 if you want though.

@MarkMarky so if i create a turkish account anx buy gt7, can i still play it on my uk account or do i have to play on the turkish account?
@hbkay what fer hecks a quid?
Murica
@Curbstomp12 Have fun with an arcade racer that can be beat in a day and you have to pay 3x the games cost over the next year in empty dlc…
I beat it day one for free on pc game pass, its about equal to a free iphone game…
@Curbstomp12 what an absolute plum 🤣.
@Yaycandy a quid is slang for a pound in the UK. Similar to how Americans could call dollars bucks.
@MarkMarky oooh that is more tempting? How do i do that????🤔
@MarkMarky anEG regular?
Edited: autocorrect got it autowrong
@Curbstomp12 Moronic take, but what can you expect from a fanboy.
Forza Horizon 5 is not the equivalent of GT7, that would be Forza Motorsport 7... And last time I checked, Forza Motorsport 7 had a metascore of 86 (with even less reviews that GT7).
@Kidfunkadelic83
Lol im just playin. I watch uk wheeler dealer shows all the time
@Yaycandy you got me 😂😂
@Curbstomp12 bit hard for GT 7 to win IGN GotY 2021 when it's released tomorrow.
😝
The rest of your post? More drivel.
@Yaycandy I personally would prefer the arcade racing from Forza although I would take a new Sonic Racing or Cruis'n USA over either game 🙂 regardless just cause he took a dump on your game doesn't mean you should take a dump on his, be the bigger person.

But.. It doesn't have "do do dodododododododoo"
@Curbstomp12 Curious.. Did you register on the site to just troll the GT thread?
If you did. Kudos. I wish I had that much free time in my life to waste.
@nicc83 I just report him and move on mate.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I really wish those Feeder songs were in GT7. Just a Day, Buck Rogers, etc were absolutely iconic and super nostalgic. As for this game, I’m really hoping that my wife gives me the green light for starters orders on this latest iteration on PS5. I’ve had a blast with Forza Horizon 5 these past few months, but I’m itching to get on the track with GT.
@Col_McCafferty My copy of HFW turned up on the Saturday, too. I’m guessing it was because of the storm. Haven’t preordered GT7, but I hope to get it this weekend… wife’s approval and personal finances permitting, of course 😉
@The_Pixel_King absolutely brother. GT3 intro is still my favorite. Hopefully the wife says yes to you. Ive taken tomorrow off work and told my wife to go out shopping for the day 😂. I will get my wheel out the loft, dust it down and he hitting the asphalt. Feel free to add me up if you like. Maybe we can have a race sometime 🏎️😁
BEAUTIFUL nothing else
@Kidfunkadelic83 Sounds like fun my man! Damn, I want a steering wheel, too! Is an expensive one necessary? I’ve seen one in GAME for around the £300 mark.
@The_Pixel_King i use a logitech g29 but ive modded mine. Ive built a box and inverted the pedals mounting them upside down so they travel more like a real cars pedals and changed out the stock spring in the brake and put that in the clutch so its more of a progressive feel instad ot the same friction throughout the brake pedal. Also put a magnetic ring around the collar of the wheel so the paddle shifters click and lock in to place. Makes shifting so much better. If i knew how to i would stick a picture up so you could see what i mean. The wheel and the mount does take up a fair bit of room tho and the wife doesn't like the "clutter" as she calls it 😂. By the sounds of it the the duelsense with the haptic may be the best way to play GT7. I personally wouldnt spend more than £300 on a wheel. Think mine is around the £200 mark now then the 6 speed shifter on top of that if require.
Add me up man. Always more than welcome. Tags in my bio 👍
