My First Gran Turismo Available This Friday for Free on PS5, PS4

Any trophies? So it's simplified controls?

'My First Gran Turismo' sounds like the name for a preschool spin-off.

@HotGoomba Wonder if the cafe will do kids meals 😃

Just got a PSVR2 and wanted to try Gran Turismo and wasn't willing to pay full price just for a taste so this is perfect. The way things are going so far I'll likely buy it after 5 minutes but I still need to be sure.

I like driving games, but the sheer size of games like GT7 puts me off! A handful of races and time trials may scratch the itch for me...

Is this always online?

"Cars obtained by completing 'My First Gran Turismo' can be unlocked in 'Gran Turismo 7' if the same account for PlayStation™Network is used with both games."

And it's 15 GB on PS5

"My first Gran Turismo" is a terrible name. As noted already, it makes it sound like a game for babies. I wonder what normies who do not follow the press releases will think of it.

@LifeGirl @HotGoomba it sounds like a Gran Turismo playset manufactured by Fisher Price.

@Jrs1 🤣🤣

The games title was right infront of you, surely it had to be

Gran Turismo: Test Drive

I'm actually looking forward to this since I'm curious how well GT7 controls and uses the dual sense. That name is so patronizing though 😆

That's my Weekend sorted still life in the olde PS4....expecting an update on The Long Dark anytime soon too.

I was waiting for this - not a huge racing sim enthusiast but I wanted to check out the VR mode everyone's been raving about.
Will also check out the flat modes on PS5 Pro

Is it kneecapped by the same stupid ‘always online’ requirement forced into GT7?

@Alps_Stranger yeah I'm in the same position, been waiting for this to see how good the vr actually is.

Also, this would be a good time to release Gran Turismo 7 on PC, Sony. Hint... Hint... 👀

@Balaam_ they wouldn't would they?

This has a separate trophy list or it's aggregatted to the main game trophy list like a DLC?

The full game is too big for my appetite for this kind of racing game but this slice should serve me just right!

I miss SEGA’s racing games

@Alps_Stranger

GT7 is the best game for VR2, especially if you play it with a steering wheel and pedals, and I usually play Assetto Corsa-type simulators and not arcades, it feels more real with VR2.

I've gotten close to buying GT7 on a few occasions, but always convince myself not to due to its always-online nature. It's less about having to be online to play and more about if it'll become a shell of a game once the servers go down.

Shouldn't this have been launched prior to GT7, like the prologue games? It's essentially a prologue game with a different name.

A demo for free, what world are we living in?!

Good idea to try and get a little more 'funding' for the team by potentially poaching new customers with this demo.

I was a little worries by the fact that other car games constantly squeeze out new iterations whereas Polyphony seems to keep afloat supporting the very good GT7

Very annoying (with the main game) that I can't delete my progress and start the game again from scratch.

I played it alot when I first got it but then haven't touched it for a few years, i attempted to play it again recently but it was hard to get upto speed and remember where I was up to so ideally just wanted to start again from the beginning.

So frustrating that it's impossible to do this

I am not really interested in trying this now as I am buying the full game while it's on sale for £34.99 half price. I am glad I didn't buy it launch because it takes advantage of my PS5 Pro and a lot more has been added to the game. They should have done this sooner in my opinion. Also the always online doesn't put me off, if it was another publishers and developers I probably wouldn't buy it. When Polyphony makes GT8 I trust Sony and Polyphony to patch GT7 with the ability to play offline apart from multiplayer, like they've done before.

@Member_the_game i felt the same. Would have been nice to wipe and replay from scratch in VR. Its a rediculous idea to not allow you wipe your campaign data.

I'll take it. Probably buy it because the discversion is 30 euro's at the moment.

I've been sim racing for over decade now, and I don't think I've ever hooked my sim rig up to my PS4. I think this will be just the thing that gets me to do just that.

@Kidfunkadelic83

Absolutely crazy decision to make it like that... I don't recall ever having the same issue with any other games.

@Kidfunkadelic83

I believe there is some sort of loop hole where you can create another PSN account with a different email address but honestly, I just don't have time for all that.

It's inexcusable that I can't just delete my progress from both my console and the cloud and simply start again

@Member_the_game its ridiculous given that the option to do that has been around for almost 2 decades. The worst is when its a story game or something and I reboot it after a year or so and wanna start again to understand that story or controls. Nope you have to pick up where you left off and be confused for hours. No thanks.

Then enjoy "Your First Gran Tourismo"

@HotGoomba Sounds like a GT themed Kart racer to me.

Loved Gran Turismo, Loved Gran Turismo 2 even more and then fell out of love with it when I played 3 and that was that. 3 had no sense of speed at all but those first 2 games, brilliant. Do the new ones still have the ridiculous license tests and mad 99 laps endurance races? I remember being on one of those for 3 hours straight haha.

Get you addicted To The Grind and hopefully you'll spend all your money on micro transactions

@LifeGirl @Markatron84 have mentioned this before but there is a legacy of Sony using this naming convention - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_First_Sony

@Alps_Stranger Dude... you're in for a treat! Now, I must say that a decent racing rig is essential for the true driving experience. It's not cheap and takes a lot of space, but if you have any interest in cars, it's totally worth it.

I'm glad that more people will get to enjoy what I think is the very best gaming experience on the PS5. Sure, it's not for everyone but, for those on the fence, this is a great opportunity.
