GT7 is classic modern GT. It's a much better game now than when it launched, but it's a terrible way to treat fans etc. My 2022 highlight was the GT live events, the racing was mad and the whole events really felt special. I bet we're still waiting waiting for iRacing rain in Jan 24.
iRacing doesn't have rain? The fucking price of it lol thats mad
@@ofrenic I think when it comes it'll be amazingly detailed. There's been mentions of modelling water flow through the drains in the scans and how the surface water flows through the tread pattern for grip changes.
the only thing I didn't like is this gt cafe, I preferred the main campaign the same as in the old ones
Gt7 is hands down the biggest disappointment I've ever had in the 20 years I have gamed.
It's still disappointing to this day. They haven't added any of the promised content still to this day.
@@LG1ikLx Why was it disappointing
in my honest opinion, GT7 is great. Overall I rate it 8/10 after the updates kicked in. At launch, more like a 6.5/10. The others are nice as well. Though for me GT7 and NFS unbound were the highlights of 2022 !
WRC G as well to some extent.
I’m pretty new to the scene and for me the affordable DD options that dropped in 2022 really were the big headline for me. Although I’ve enjoyed my Logitech setup I’ve reached the point in the learning curve that I would like to upgrade and having multiple options in my budget is very exciting.
Automobilista 2 got amazing updates. By far the sim that I had the most fun in 2022. It’s a shame more ppl are not giving it a shot (and sadly I believe the bad multiplayer is at fault)
Bad multiplayer and unfortunately, the madness engine. People just don’t like it.
Singleplayer is pretty broken too, especially long races. Tried to do an indy 500 and the AI broke itself apart. I end up using ams2 as a quick race and hotlap game
2022 saw the huge growth of LFM and I think it was one of iRacing's best years (if we forget Indycar!).
I got GT Sport in 2020 along with PS4 pro, liked it and bought GT7 at launch, liked it even more than GT sport, and it got better with every update!
This just seems completely asinine. Clamouring for new titles every year just leads to mediocrity, which you allude to yourself in this video then completely disregard. Forza taking longer is a good thing but I don't see what relevance that will have to sim racing. ACC, iRacing and AMS2 (perhaps more not on my radar) have had stellar upgrades this year, with excellent additions and improvements and the community side of sim racing, whether modding or online organised competition is going from strength to strength.
In sim racing and all entertainment software we are continually subjected to an unending slew of titles full of only compromise and omission, a year of consolidation and improvement has been a god send and summations of the tone delivered here are exactly why it will ultimately be ruined.
The hardware scene is finally becoming a competitive environment and allowing access to fantastic gear at different levels of entry.
So much of this is genuinely positive for the long term health of the genre, and it's very shortsighted to try and paint otherwise.
Well said. This reviewer just sounds unhappy about EVERYTHING.
Completely agree, love or hate iRacing it's labeled as a stagnant sim but they were running at a loss for years pouring resources into development and now it's the top online sim for pc. It's impossible to make a sim like this in one year. As and rfactor2 fan it would be great to see more light put on Low fuel Motorsport for what they are doing to keep kunos and Reza alive and further development.
POV: Where is BeamNG?????? They had some really cool Updates!!!!😕🧐
As a racing game fan, my most played games in 2022 were American Truck Simulator, Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon 5, and two non-racing games that rounded out my top five on my Steam Recap. That reflects the holding pattern we were in during 2022. I also played non-Steam racing games like NFS Heat and Payback, since I bought them dirt cheap years after launch. The main thing that kept me playing these titles (barring FH5) was mods. But as far as sims & simcade new releases went, GT7 aside, it was pretty desolate. I even went back and played the now de-listed Project Cars 1 & 2, that also had new life brought to them due to, you guessed it, the stockpile of mods available over the years. Here's hoping 2023, sees some truly noteworthy releases in the genre.
Lol my most played games are basically the same as yours with Asetto Corsa Competizione and beam.ng thrown in.
I havent revisited GT7 in a long time, them fixing it is great but it really lowered my opinion of the franchise. Its probably the best simcade franchise out there though, does so many things better than forza motorsport.
@@ofrenic i disagree it doesn't take much for someone to make a better simcade than gt7 and fm or project cars if still existing would not have a problem
gt game design is inherently flawed with 90s menus, boring cafe mode, boring chase the rabbit and dead online lobbies, not talking about sport mode that is supposed to be side content in gt7
@RaikkonenGoat23 the online in GT is the main draw for me. The rest of the simcade scene need to take a page out of the GT book.
As i said, i dropped gt because of 7, they fucked the fan base over for some easy money.
I do my racing in AC or ACC pretty much exclusively these days. AC is by far the best game for hotlaps or trying different cars out. Ive like 150+ added cars and don't know how many tracks added over the years
As hardware goes, I picked up my Moza R9 and my triples (Samsung G7-5) well happy
Sim - iracing not let me down yet
LFM for rfactor2 is my highlight for 2022. The rookie class is quite healthy with completely free content to race. If numbers stay the same and gradually improve my iRacing subscription will stay expired.
As an avid GT:S player GT7 was a flop for me in terms of expectations. Thankfully that led me to ACC which brings us to LFM. I'm not sure when LFM started but it has changed everything for me in the last few months.
As being a 13-year veteran of iRacing I know one thing with them, something like rain does not get released until all of the variables are settled. It took years before dirt racing was introduced to iRacing. Why? Simple, they worked on all of the variables in a dirt track race. How much water was in the track after five laps and how much was there after 50 laps. The same thing is being done with water on the track. Give them time, they will come through.
They didn't even get dirt racing right, even road racing on dry still has serious flaws, so I unfortunately lowkey don't even want rain to come. It's gonna be a project cars 2 on the wet level disaster
Need a GT7 PC port badly.. I recently upgraded my PC. Can't justify buying a PS5 just for Gran Turismo 7.
Don´t mind me having the greatest fun I have had with simracing in the last couple of years playing GTR2 and rFactor1 with all the mods I can possibly dream of.
Gt7 is pretty decent but it's a big shame thst it's only available on console players, I think they'd generate a huge player base if they added pc support. ACC I think takes the year. Very much looking forward to FM8 this spring.
My highlight this yr in sim racing was ams2 how good it become after the 1.4 update
ams2 is awesome! Hard to find decent multiplayer races on it though.
@@martymet yeah ams2 for me ticks all the boxes .
It keeps getting better I’m a single player mainly due to bad internet so multiplayer doesn’t worry me.
@@sim_racing_pops1675 thats understandable.
@@martymet can’t wait for the classic Bathurst 😀
@@sim_racing_pops1675 im so bad at bathurst 😂
I don’t know why he thought that the new Forza Motorsport would release in 2022. There was no indication at all it would happen in 2022. GT7 was a let down with the whole micro transaction saga
Dakar Desert was quite the disappointment, WRC Generations was more of the same, F1 22 still didn't manage to top the 2020 iteration imo. Nothing on the motocross scenario (MXGP and Monster Energy Supercross), and MotoGP '22 showing very little improvements. Let's see what the next year brings.
So, what are the games to get for PS4? I have GT7, ACC, F1 22, and dirt 5. I only stated this year and don't see the hate for GT7 and F1, because of never played past installments.
Tell me you're not a real sim racer, without telling me you're not a real sim racer.
I think you highlighted a key factor in GT7 being disappointing and still is in my view in that it had and still hasn't any competition on console, the Sport mode which is basically copy n paste from GT Sport is why it's mainly gone wrong, they carried over all the same GT Cars with the same crap penalty system and a far worse BOP, its like PD don't care or got complacent without competition to react to, well a lot of sim racers have either stopped playing GT7 and / or moved to ACC on PC and especially as PCs are not as expensive these days I think PD need to get their finger out !
Finally got my hands on a PS5 a few months back and started playing GT Sport after picking it up on sale for $10 (yes!) and waited for Xmas for GT7-what a disappointment it has been! By the way, I’m not playing online, just single player and play with a controller. GT7 has NO career mode, the cars you want to buy and race are never a available, or if they are, they’re waaaay too expensive (microtransaction anyone?) and almost impossible to acquire. At best, it is a 60% complete game. Hoping Forza Motorsports 8 comes out soon and is not a flop like GT7-hopefully picking up a series x wont be a problem later this year-might end up selling the PS5.
By the way, they could do expansion packs like ACC does to add a career section, or additional groups of cars that are badly needed. I’m not interested in racing a Porsche 917k against some fictional group of cars on some fantasy track-I’d like to race it against other 917s and some period correct Ferrari 512S and 512M’s. It would also be nice to set up a single player race, where you can pick cars that are not currently in your garage, as well as assigning them specific liveries saved to one’s profile.
I don’t get all the hate for GT7. It’s a classic GT. It’s what everyone asked for. But there’s always something to complain about. Can never please em all.
your wrong, its nothing like gt1-gt4, game was marketed to blinded nostalgia fans, you didnt know gt sport had more offline single player races than gt7
6:32 El Risitas' laugh never fails to entertain me :D
What about LFM? It has made ACC a great place to do some close and clean racing.
What about LFM for rF2? It's even better than ACC because they have the practice servers running like in iRacing. I rather prefer the hotlap competition to the racing.
@@Leynad778 personally I’ve struggled to get into RF2. The graphics and physics just don’t seem to be there yet. Maybe I need to give it another chance but when I try it I can’t help but compare to ACC and GT7 in terms of graphics and it is no where near. When I race I like it to look as realistic as possible. I will keep trying RF2 (I’ve paid for it after all) but at the moment I’m kind of disappointed with it.
@@allanwallace9375 really? I feel like Rf2 has the best physics of all. Graphic-wise they are right behind ACC for me. Some tracks have too bright greens & blues and the lighting at night on other cars is also not the best imo. Other than that the graphics are really good though. Have you tried a recent track? Zandvoort or something?
@@mdm.trackshots As I said, I’ve struggled to get into it, so maybe I’m not qualified to say what I said, but when I have driven BTCC or open wheel it just felt a bit arcade. Need to keep and open mind and try it some more.
GT is awesome dude, don't understand the hate. It's not perfect, no game is. You want realism , then get on a real car 🚙 and on a real track. They do need to work on the lobbies and bring other cars. PD keep updating and making it better. No car sim is close to the real thing, get real.
you never played any racing game other than gt your a ps fanboy
Tbf, 2022 was a bad year for sim racing in general..... But, the only good part about 2022 is how iRacing had purchased Monster Games, and made the World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing game. In-which, I seriously praise them for making such a great game! I absolutely loved the World of Outlaws game, I played it a whole lot... Multiplayer is fun, but it's more fun when you're league racing with friends on there. But, 2023 I know will be better.... Hopefully.
Goodbye 2022, hello 2023... 2023 shall be a good year, we'll get new things coming... I just know it, 2023 DLC for the World of Outlaws game, possibly a 2023 DLC for SRX: The Game, rain in iRacing?? We'll have to see what 2023 brings.
I'm genuinely trying to help here when I say you might want a native English speaker to look over your scripts before uploading them. "How could a verdict look like?" Is not a sentence that makes sense in English.
Also, there are many times where you use euphemisms in the improper context or in a slightly incorrect way which just makes it sound weird and detracts from the point you're trying to make. Good luck, thanks for the otherwise great content.
Ams2 had some good updates, Raceroom also. Two games that deserve are time. Grid Legends is fun to play (as a simcade). So, i think it was a good year.
Pleasantly surprised to hear OT taking a critical stance like this for which I agree wholeheartedly. I am so not having any fun with any video games as of late, and this certainly includes sim racing titles. It's a tremendous disappointment. There's just no innovation going on. it's like we're just rehashing the same assets using the same graphics engines. GPU innovation makes it seem like game/sim titles are improving/innovating, when in fact at the software level, nothing new is being done. Devs are taking short cuts and lying to us about their "innovation". We need a rebel developer who Loves racing, to take a stand on principle, putting the status quo profit and development models aside, taking a financial hit/risk, and doing something different. Rennsport promised this, but their alpha was a joke - it was the same old rehashed crap.
I build love for ams2 love it and it runs great.
don't get me wrong, I LOVE gt7, I bought an entire console to play it lmao, but it really does feel a whole lot less than past iterations. furthermore, this lottery ticket system is an absolute greed based trainwreck, obviously geared towards making me want to buy in game currency, i don't think it's ever given me anything but the least valuable pick more than a handful of times, and that's probably being generous.
Same here, I was so pumped being a huge fan of GT1 and 2 from back in the day, grabbed a second hand PS4 just to play it. Only played about 8 hours and now it just sits collecting dust, the whole gt7 experience just fell flat for me.
Gt7 adding online only even for local makes it dead to me. It’s even worse than f1
when are they fixing split screen on gt7??? It is like they fed you a literall piece of sh%@ and we bought that piece of sh%@ and we ate that piece of sh@$.
Well at least 2023 FM and 2024 possibly the new AC. So yeah, 2022 was sad but with new patches...GT7 can improve and I hope FM would be as good as it seems, with more sim features and a proper "pro" league so you don't meet the shadow realm at the first corner every time. BTW, GT7 looked always weird to me, like the environment is moving and the car stays there and not vice versa ...
GT7 is good ,but honestly a whole dissappointmet and it can be seen everywhere on CZcams on how its greed and total idiocy and other stuff during launch soured people's palette and it did mine . Wanted to get a PS5 for gt7 only but having played it on my friend's ps5 it's not worth getting a whole system over thats for sure so I held out on it ( tho I am jealous of its amazing replays) I will be sticking to PC and am excited for forza tho I will definitely not pre order it seeing how GT7 played with its fan base i hope forza doesn't do the same
I do like gt7 but I don't like 2022
I got a good amount of enjoyment, along with the numerous disappointments, out of GT7 - and did some league racing... until they ruined the physics for me towards the end of twenty twenty poo 💩 I've got my fingers crossed for Forza Motorsports on PC. 22 was a bad year for gaming in general. 23 looks better
Woo dirt racing is a GREAT game everyone loves acting like it doesn't exist......I get dirt racing is a niche in a niche but still NOBODY gives it the respect it deserves.....at least us dirt guys appreciate it and finally got what we/I always wanted a good late model/sprint car game
Gt7 is boring and there’s not many career races. The career mode in gt7 is lacking badly. Newest Forza title is better than gt7 tbh
2022 is the year I found out about OverTake_gg. So, for me, it is not that bad after all 😉
Another video with completely undeserving hate towards GT7....the truth is, there is literally no other racing sim out there that as much single player content as GT7 and it also has the best implementation of multi-player....If you call that a disappointment then I don't know what is considered a good racing game
ACC? - it was garbage at launch, and it's still garbage on consoles, the only reason why it's alive on PC is LFM
iRacing?? - if you like iRacing with its subscription driven economy, then don't complain about GT7 economy
AC??? - below average game without mods
Seriously, what is the standard on which you guys are hating GT7 on? I want to know
Marvin with the FAX!
I didn't like the way GT7 treated me when I played like a professional at its been cutting me deep like razor blade but I hope 2023 will make the disaster of 2022 I'm hoping for the best you'll never know.
Still playing Assetto Corsa career mode. It's taking 2 years hahaha
it was nice end for simracing in 2022 when MSG killed indycar in iRacing
Forza Motorsport never ever had a Release Date, ever!
And, still doesn't!
Forza Motorsport will get its 1st Release Date on January 25th @3pm Easter Standard Time.
Gt7 was great from launch. Crazy how these youtube sites can manipulate sheeple so easily.
Come on, these games aren't really that bad.
Dude why is GT7 the worst game to you? It’s good so what in the world are you thinking?
So, Simcades sucked (as they almost always do) and thankfully bombed (bliss!), we lost useless casual sim racers that followed the ephimeral trend during 2021, eSport "Yo bro" simming took a wonderful hit (GT7-kinda-of-MOBA-kiddie-crap, I'm looking at you, for example, but F1 2022 as well - more like wreckfest BS), actual sims got evolutionary positive steps forward, LFM helped save ACC online gaming and DD wheelbase got more affordable? I call it a mighty positive year.
Only thing missing to make 2022 a spectacular year was Motorsports Games bankruptcy and their CEO arrested for fraud (damn, that would have been the icing on the cake!).
Get sim racing in leagues or ladder system, that's the thing.
The rest is just journo rambling to make views.
Goodmorning 😁
Watched the video and still have no idea what you’re trying to say. Take a breath, work on a script. Get to the point.
