Before you continue reading, this blog is based on my opinions and thoughts you can agree or disagree as much as you want but everyone has there own thoughts at end of the day.
Note: I did write a smiler article about Gran Turismo 6 a while ago but I think its time to do one about Gran Turismo 7.
If Gran Turismo 7 is going to be made for Playstation 4 then there are going to be serious changes and improvements to the game in order for it to became a great racing sim again.
The cars for Gran Turismo 7 all need to be re-done to "premium" standards, what I mean by this is full interior views, great detail both interior and exterior of the cars. There is no excuse for "standard" model cars anymore, considering the power of the PS4.
The sounds of the cars also need to be re-done, the sounds of some of the cars in the last few Gran Turismo's were disappointing to say the least, a lot of times lot of the cars sounded very smiler and the other times the engine sounds sounded weak. If I racing in a high performance car , lets say the Dodge Viper, I want it to sound like the Dodge Viper with its beefy engine sounds.
The damage of the cars also needs to be re-done, it's suppose to be a racing simulator, so why the lack of damage? It's time to have full damage models from the start. This bit may sound harsh but if you wreck your car trying to go to fast around a corner well frankly that's your own fault, like I said it's suppose to be a racing sim so treat the game like one.
The graphics could also be improved on, from everything like cars (like I mentioned earlier)to background scenery, the spectators and crowds of the races. The potential to really make the game graphics look amazing should be easier now thanks to the PS4.
Also why just have cars anymore, why not include more vehicles like motorbikes, midget cars, truck racing etc. Just think how many more types of races etc could be included with the addition of extra vehicles.
Improved AI, the AI should act more realistically, from things like trying to cut you off from overtaking during racing to things like the AI tuning up and modifying there cars so it matches your cars performance for that feeling of a challenge.
Improvements of certain races, the rally events and other certain events of Gran Turismo 5&6 were disappointing, if there going to support races like Rally and Nascar at least make them full races, instead of one lap things where you have to go though a stupid tutorial.
Weather and time improvements, lets have dynamic weather, that can change during mid race and full night/day cycle on all races, this would really work well on endurance races. This would also make it more realistic since you would have to pit mid race to change the tyres to the correct type for the weather.
More range of cars, yes I know that Gran Turismo has a wide range of cars but a lot of them are different types of skylines etc. It's time to add more variety of cars everything from the Ford-T, to the latest super cars like Ferrari M458-T and of course everything in between.
I used to love Gran Turismo but the last two have been disappointing to say the least. If Sony & Polyphony Digital want me to splash money out on a new Gran Turismo then the needs serious improvements.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
TSA go hands on with the beta for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, but how is the game transitioning to the post-stylus era?

You basically listed what every other game has in part in their game.
I think we need to take a step back on expectation. People are quick to call game X or Y a failure because they don't have feature A or B nailed down or as good as another title.
While everything you listed are what would make the game better i would rather set my expectation a little lower and enjoy the game, not just Gt7 but for any game.
If you have a PC right now i suggest you try R3e or Assetto they are keeping me very busy. that i am in no hurry for gt7 :P
Also you missed some feature that fanboy decided were important this gen. Auto vista, Open world , 1080p/60fps .. apparently these things are must now.
Morpheus would take this game to a whole different level, I would be surprised if thats not incorporated for Gran Turismo 7, in fact I'm sure I read somewhere that it was happening.
A revamped photo mode, it's absolutely got to have have that! More original tracks, reverse on all tracks.... Motorcycles!

i could definitely see certain features making it into the game for the season, especially features like dynamic weather, since it already has weather in Gt 6 and 5. The weather is actually becoming more of a thing with other racers as of recent, but Gt been there and done it. The premium and standard car issue is mainly because Polyphony wants to nonsensically stuff the game with cars whether people wants to drive them or not. If they trim down the car count, and focus on fleshing the game out, then I know they'll make GT 7 a beast
