Excellent review mate, and thanks for the shout out! You're welcome to borrow the PSVR2 again in the future sometime if you want to get that immersion back. Maybe you could ask for one as a Christmas present? :D
Holding "option" button to reset position is very useful. Neutral position is not always optimal. But you can achieve "adjusting seat position" by holding your head in different position and then hold to reset/recalibrate. By doing this you can move vertical/horizontal inside the car to find the best seat position for every different car.
I only bought Ps5 for Gt7 and PSVR2! Was playing on huge flat screen prior and I will NEVER go back to playing ANY game on flat screen let alone GT7. The immersion, sense of speed and distance are unmatched! All my lap times have DRASTICALLY improved as a result of spotting apexes better due to enhanced depth perception. I would say if you’re not playing in VR , you’re not playing the full GT7 experience. Track details and engine sounds in general are sublime. Well worth the quality of life investment and one of the best decisions of my life!
I've had my psvr2 for over a year now. The only time I don't use it is for sarthe 700 grinding. Otherwise its on. The experience is incredible and there is no reaction video on youtube that can really encapsulate what it feels like to be immersed in it
I totally agree Doughtinator! PSVR2 totally changes the GT7 experience. If I can share a few tips to improve the experience. 1) I have a small fan mounted to my rig so I can “Feel the breeze” when racing, plus helps keep you cool. 2) I always adjust my headset and lenses position in settings menu before I race. 3) I use a VR face mask to absorb any sweat for those endurance races. 4) motion sickness can be mitigated by turning down the brightness level. I absolutely love GT7 + PSVR2 ❤
I bought gt7 having already got my psvr2 and so it's all I'm used to now. I tried it in 2d and it's awful tbh. VR once your used to it becomes the only type of gaming you ever want to do. This is the pinnacle of gaming for me and I've been gaming since early 80s. The fact that you also get Resident evil games in VR makes the Psvr2 a must have. Sell everything you own and get one today!
I bought gt7 on a sale to try it out with my psvr2. After less than a hour playing i ordered a steering wheel and stand. Already looking to upgrade to a dd wheel. Absolutely love it. Absolute game changer.
Snap! Bought a PS5 and PSVR2 when the headset came out. GT7 blew my mind. Bought a wheel and pedals and within 2 months I had upgraded to a DD wheel and load cell pedals. I'm totally addicted to it. Wish my wallet could also buy me some driving skills
What a brilliant review Chris. I’ve had mine now for about three weeks and purchased it during Sony’s summer sale and I have to say it’s changed the way I play GT forever. My eyesight isn’t perfect and hasn’t been since childhood and that’s what’s been putting me off from buying one, especially at the full price. I couldn’t ignore the sale price and so pleased I didn’t. I’ve said for years that the biggest leap forward for me was the transition of graphics from GT2 to GT3 but PSVR2 beats anything I’ve ever experienced and I won’t ever go back to 2D racing. I felt a little motion sickness for the first two to three corners of my first race but after that it felt completely natural and the VR showroom…just WOW!! Finally, I’ve never been able to play 2D cockpit view, which was another worry about VR but in VR it’s a completely different experience and feels totally natural to the point that VR allows you to pin point braking areas and turning points, hitting your apexes almost for fun. I feel blown away every time I switch it on and race.
I play on a 4k oled. I rented a PSVR2 for a weekend, got sick, fought it, felt amazed, enjoyed various cars. Then I gave it back and needed 2 or 3h to adjust back to not feeling distances anymore. In VR lenght, depth feels so natural. Definitely getting my own. It s really hard to explain how good it feels... Great review man.
I had motion sickness the first time as well when I got it (on release of gt7). The very next morning I raced for around 3 hours straight and I completely acclimated. Never been sick since and I can’t play gt7 flat anymore.
To reset the neutral position of the headset, press and hold the option button on your controller/wheel. It will still pause the game, but it's faster than using the AR button on the headset. Do a night time race on Nurburgring!
FYI: TO RESET YOUR HEAD POSITION without leaving the game view in the headset (and see where your view will be in game): 1. Click the OPTION button to Pause the game. 2. Position your head to where you want the view to switch to. 3. While holding your head in that position, click and HOLD the OPTION button. 4. Now you can select continue and get back to driving. > You will see the view snap to the new position on screen and SEE where your head placement will be when you continue. I figured this process out because some of the cars don't have the head position placed even close to where I want it. So, to fix it, I find myself pushing my head forward and craning my head upward or crouching down while resetting in order to get the view correct. Note: This is the most frustrating part about PSVR2 in GT7 for me. But I feel like it's a small price to pay for such a great, immersive experience. I would never go back. They do need to give us a better option though. They should add the ability to be able to reset the view with a button "while driving".
NEVER going back, have xbox series x, PC and PS5. Got the PSVR2 for xmas and its a total wrap for me. Its soooo damn amazing. I can see all around my car now. No more blind spots. Love it!!
The VR is worth every penny. I feel like the price is nothing because it feels like you are really in the car. So it's essentially like having real cars and tracks. If you went racing for real, it would probably cost you twice as much for just 1 day. Here it feels basically the same as racing for real, except you can do it anytime you want, forever.
To me, I love PSVR2 on GT7, but it's one of the few games I enjoy that deeply in VR for PS. I haven't gotten to own one yet, but I used my buddies time to time when we hang out on weekends.
That's right, my first experience on GT7 was also less pleasant. At the first turn I felt my stomach turn like a washing machine. Stopped playing, waited an hour and tried again. Repeated this a few times and the motion sickness was gone. Never had any problems since then. I now only play GT7 with the PSVR2.
Wow, your review is most in depth. Thank you for covering the good and bad parts. You are very aware of immersion in for a VR. Glad you covered stuff like oval banking tracks.
I have to agree with you that VR changed the game. It’s absolutely amazing to play in VR. It’s become the only way for me to race now. I love it that much.
Thank you! I feel the same way. GT7 on PSVR2 feels like an evolution in gaming to me. Some races feel so real that by the end, I'm pouring sweat from so much adrenaline! Truly breathtaking. Next, I'm adding a 5 channel tactile bass shaker system to my rig. Can't wait!
Great video, I watched as I thought you were going to trash it, glad you didn't. I'm terrible with motion sickness and GT7 now no issue. I've compiled for motion sickness below for other suffers. Wear light clothing e.g. T-shirt Have a fan pointed at or near you Try to look mainly forwards and try not to look around too much or at things in the car. Bend you body a little into bends and your head etc. Not so much that the wire car appears but enough that your body feels like it's cornering in a car. If you lose the car and it's starts to spin then briefly avert your vision or even close your eyes. When the finish banner comes up, concentrate on it and not around in the car or side windows. Stay away as much as possible from dirt, snow or tracks with steep left right slopes e.g. the ovals. Keep you sessions short (15-30 mins) and take long breaks of at least 30 mins. First sign of feeling sick then stop, do not try to push through or you will feel unwell for hours and it will put you off on keep trying. After some time, you will be able to play for longer (I can now do hours) without issue and then you'll be free to look around more etc. I still stay away from dirt or snow tracks or if I do them then I don't do them for very long.
Those are great tips. One other recommendation I've heard is to pick cars where you're more enclosed when you're starting out. Convertibles or the open wheel racers are a more intense experience that could be too much when you're new to VR.
Good hint for gt7 for even better immersion is go to settings and turn off all the info on the screen in game and turn off driver names too. So much more realistic.
I know this video was from a while ago. But the comment made about being off centre when switching from flat screen to VR if you are not looking ahead. Can you not just hold the options button to recalibrate? You get of centre issues all of the time though far less than the original PSVR. Always fixed with holding options down. Switching to pass through mode etc seems to be unnecessary?
I think you could. But if you were in an online race it might not be to easy. But it’s not really a problem once you know when it ‘sets’ neutral and you just learn to look forwards. 👍🏻👍🏻
I lost my left eye to an injury as a child and therefore have little memory of stereoscopic vision and depth perception. The field of vision is pretty good for me in VR2. Immersion is impressive. It felt like the arms holding the wheel were my arms. Hard to explain the sensation. A big plus is being able to look into corners. I've started playing in cockpit view outside of VR to try and get used to driving with restricted vision as its much harder to see the braking points with all the obstructions.
Sorry to hear about your injury man. I know exactly the feeling you are taking about. Looking down I really believe that the virtual driver is me. It’s very immersive.
@ That’s ok, mate. Life deals us all a hand and we have to play the cards we’re dealt. I'm pretty new to racing, so appreciate all your good work. Thanks!
I bought a high end 65 inch Samsung TV for my PS5 and don't even use it. I only play two games on the PS5 right now which are GT7 and Resident Evil 4 Remake and I play them both in VR. I attempted to go back to flat screen on GT7 and was disappointed. I couldn't believe how different the game felt in VR vs Flat. I couldn't corner at all with the flat screen. I now have my PS5, Sim Rig, and VR headset in a different room from my TV. I did however, mount a computer monitor to my rig so I can take a brake from the headset on those long sessions while grinding for money.
I play on an old TV, 1080p without HDR, about 32 inches. In VR would you say the resolution is a little better? Apart from the resolution, when you look at a sign from 100 or 150 meters, what does the image look like?
I think you’d be in a similar position to me. I found it easier to spot the braking boards in VR. Thinking about LeMan especially picking the boards out of the trees on the mulsanne straight is easier in VR 👍🏻
PSVR 2 is about the equivalent of a 2K resolution, maybe a bit higher. It has two 2000 x 2040 screens (one per eye), but the overall effect isn't double that resolution (which would be close to 4K), since your brain overlaps the images to give you the 3D visuals. Hope this helps.
Currently wants with the PSVR2 and GT7: - leaderboard - custom tachometers as either a HUD or in car thing. This is more for engine swaps… when my car’s stock tachometer goes up to 8k, but my motor revs to 9, it’s not too useful. Even modded cars rev well past their tachs too. - the banking effect on banked tracks - units… I mainly drive with MPH, if the car had the option for that, switch it. - higher resolution. Maybe PS5 Pro will be capable of this. - fine adjustment of driver height could be useful for some elements that are hidden behind the rim of the steering wheel. Granted it is probably like that in real life. I do love that I can use the native gauges. It’s fantastic to have and use. Though they aren’t the most legible. One note, you can see deltas to your fastest lap in your MFD. but it will only do the current lap you’re on as well as the last lap run. Also gives optimal lap too. Oh, and holding the pause button will also reset center; I hate being ever so slightly off center.
Great video, makes me want to get a VR headset for the ps5. What wheel and pedals do you use with the playstation? I’m confused to go for simagic or moza
I notice that your driving in Offset mode for either your screen or the PSVR2, my question is can you use the offset mode on the PSVR2? Offset is far more realistic. its a real pain as you have ensure your behind the onscreen wheel but so much better.
Its very good but i find it too blurry still. Even after watching countless youtube videos on best settings for the clearest picture. And yea i wear glasses when playing games and ive tried with and without. But still all on all its a great experience. Would definitely recommend getting the extra padding and over head strap for more comfort and takes more weight off the front. I would recommend it for sure.
Glad to hear how much you liked it. VR really is incredible and racing games are absolutely the best use of VR. The added depth perception is invaluable, the way you can understand elevation changes on the track in a way that's simply impossible on a flat screen. Plus it really lets you appreciate the work PD puts into their car models.
GT in PSVR2 is the best gaming experience I’ve ever had period. I could never go back to flat screen now. The depth perception and being able to look into your turns. It just simply feels natural and how all sims should be experienced. This has been a dream of mine since I was a child.
Good review. I have been using the VR2 since it first came out and when it works properly it’s damn amazing. But, I finally disconnected it after constant frustrations with intermittent glitches. Recently I went to use it and there’s no sounds at all when I put it on. It even kills my monitor sounds. Last time is used it everything was ok. Then, the rubber face cushions partially came off and it’s very difficult to reattach properly. In the end, because of the VR I found myself not desiring to play the game as much. I’m an older guy so I have very little patience for this expensive nonsense. I’m back to just my large monitor , which works perfect everytime. 22:25
I bought gt7 and vr2 for ps5 last week. I hadn't played it on flat screen and having tried in VR, I never will! It is amazing. Motion sickness stopped after around 10 hours of play. I was really sick to begin with, but can play for hours now. You can switch the weather radar to other displays such as car radar or track map etc with the d pad.
Great review and I purchased PSVR2 today and set up as instructed but being a glasses wearer it is not to easy to find the clear focus spot and my question is when you filmed this while wearing the headset did you see the outline of the both lens while viewing the VR, sorry hard to explain and cannot capture a picture showing this effect. Your VR was very clear and crisp compared to mine and I have watch many videos on how to cure this.
Great video, I agree with everything you said with the negatives, especially the race position info. For your best lap and section timings, one of the options in the HUD which includes the weather and tyres/fuel is a fastest lap and delta for up to the last 3 section splits. They really need to get the race position timings in there. But I can't go back to the flat screen!! Assetto need to get VR into the PS5 version too. NEXT try with the PVR2 and a compatible 3D headset, like the JBL Quantum 800 with active noise cancelling......
I'm starting to wonder if this is good enough for me to switch from iracing. I think it might well be. Almost all of my pc stuff is old. Still rocking my 5 year old rift s. Everything needs changing. Vidja card aside. Oh and my wheel base, got the CSW 2.5 and I understand it won't work on a playstation, but my McLaren wheel should I think. So that's something..
Yeah the jitters only appear when watching back. Those jitters are micro corrections that the VR is making to compensate for my head movements when I’m talking. It looks and feels solid when actually looking into the VR
Psvr2 + GT7 + cockpit simrig + simhub app + buttkiker + or BASS shaker = you get the really true sim experience !! (Gt7 is Also compatible with motion rig but it is way more expensive)
It is sad that no updates have come to psvr for gt7... Racing info,(position and timing of other drivers) like they have on a flat screen. This has been asked for since it came out. A simple button touch to turn on and off would be awesome. There is an option for adjusting the seat height and distance to the wheel but it is greyed out. Even Drive Club had this option for the first psvr.🤔🤔 All that said I love psvr on gt7. I find sometimes while driving it just brings a smile to my face. If you like racing, do yourself a favour and pick up a psvr for gt7.
great review - nicely balanced. I bought a PS5 + PSVR2 + G923 for GT7 a year ago... well worth it, never regretted it, it's an incredible experience, and I never play GT7 without it - despite the negatives you mention (which I fully agree with) - its just such a natural experience, going down Eau Rouge in a Gr3 (or a radical!) for the first time, wow. I cannot get enough of the Spa 24 hour with the rain ! its hard to describe... perhaps best example though is awareness, if you are going into a corner and you have someone on the inside but not sure where they are, you just glance over..you'll also find yourself naturally looking to the apex - .its so natural, no looking at radars or trying to shift your view with a joystick. a couple of notes: - if you wear glasses, its best to buy some prescription lens for vr2 which simply clip in. (worth it even for a mild prescription) - you can reset the centre point using the reset button, you dont need to come out (but still its crazy , PD need to fix this) - after a year, I did want to play other driving games (only on flat) , esp WRC - and similar to you, GT7/VR2 made playing flat a bit 'meh'. but after a few weeks, I noticed, I could switch between vr n' flat and enjoy both again.. - have you tried the vr replay - thats quite cool too... can't wait to see what comes next... (gt8?) wouldn't it be great if vr showroom and replay were merged, so you could. walk out of the garage onto the pitwall, and watch the race :) anyway, hope you get one, spoil yourself, you've worked hard to make a great channel.... you deserve a treat ;)
My problem isn’t so much blur but instead it’s the weird jiggery textures, draw distance looks really bad like you see car parts pop in as you get closer to cars on tracks with long straits, flat textures and mura effect that’s a problem with the psvr2 itself. The 3d makes it worth it though just have to get used to it. Also I noticed some tracks looks really good but others like laguna seca look horrid. Same with certain weather and time of day.
curious to know how many people are running faster lap times now after using VR2? i'm not the fastest racer by any means, so if this can potentially give me faster laps from the enhanced depth immersion/seeing apexes etc then i could be convinced to buy one
about the offset issue you can also map a button from the will to fix it. So everyt time you leave pitstop while the car is in auto mode, then push the button while make sure you look straight ahead.
Probably looks good for a console but to my eyes psvr2 mura affect is pretty horrible and i did not find gt7 ultra amazing or anything but i am probably biased usually on pc with 4090 using bigscreen beyond. I am interested to test psvr2 on PC if that adapter they are working on ever comes out.
PSVR2 is very underated, imho. I own a PS5 and a PC and play PSVR2 on both. Though my PC is more powerful than my 5, the PS5 puts out some great VR performance. GT in VR is such a great wat to play the game, its visually stunning, smooth and the immersion is unreal, especially when coupled with a wheel. Though expensive, the PSVR2 coupled with a PS5 gives people a great hands on experience with VR, not all too far than that of PC which is fantastic for a £700 to £800 set up. Resident Evil, Arizona Sunshine, Pavlov, Walking Dead, GT7, to name a few, with a pretty great and growing catalogue.
$1,000 is worth the price for GT7 VR alone. I already had a sim wheel setup so the decision was easy. Have not touched a PC racing game since I bought it a year ago. Sony already said this game would be impossible to port to a PC. Kind of like how it took the Matrix Awakens Unreal 5 Demo 2 full years to get ported to a PC they kept running into roadblocks. A friend was on the Unreal 5 demo project.
Great video, i wish more of the regular streamers would use it, they have all tried it, love it but find it hard to communicate with there community.. I just can't go back to flat screen it feels so lifeless. On your first negative you actually learn to use that as a tool thats why it is as it is. Sometimes you will find the stock position is to close, far high or low. So all you do is position yourself opposite eg if you want to be closer you push right back in the chair, hold options button down only, once it resets move back forward. Once you know that position you just put yourself there before you restart it only takes a couple of times practice on each car. The slight blurriness is mostly down to it being 60hz reprojected. This also can add to the motion sickness for some. Thats interesting as there is 120 hz mode in gt7 so it must be the ps5 can't cope. 🤞For ps5 to sort that out. Red matter 2 is probably as clear as i have seen it can be. Id agree it is a bit expensive just for gt7, there are some other great experiences out there on it and always sales making most games quite cheap if you hang on. The lack of race info is biggest ine for me and can be very frustrating. The lock with horizon/ lock with car should be an option not changed, as if you were lucky enough to have a motion sim you would want it as it is. Nice work mate, hope you end up getting it and thanks for getting some feedback out there, as you say no footage can show how it really is until you are in there.
in fairness, I think vr is a 'personal experience'... its not as good for viewers, as they don't get the immersion etc, just a shakey image - some vr games now support a different view for the social/streamed view to aid this. that said, for TH-camrs, I quite like JammyHero's new approach, he combines flatscreen footage with VR views mixed in - its a bit like how in F1 these days, we see a regular tv image, mixed with a bit of helmet cam. so used sparingly, just like in is in F1, it gives an interesting additional viewpoint.
I just got one today. I've found only one issue so far. I get nothing but a flat tv view in lobby mode. No vr in multiplayer? That's a bite in the ass and very unexpected…. Update: it was a simple mistake of not leaving the pits. In the pits, you have a flat screen view, but if you hit the accelerator you will go out of the pits and into virtual reality. I have no idea why they did something so stupid but I guess they needed to.
Also about the blurriness, the sweet spot of the PSVR2 lenses is quite small. Getting the headset in the right position is paramount for a clear view. Also, the game uses foveated rendering. So it only detail renders the part of the screen you are looking at. The eye tracking sorts the rest out. And you can't trick it to try to see outside the detail render area. The eye tracking always knows where you are looking. Just a shame about the small lens sweet spot. Especially when compared to the Quest 3, which has a huge sweet spot.
I will never go back to pancake gaming . I recently got the shifter for my set up and it's so good to drive a stick again one hand on the wheel the other resting on the stick it felt so right. To help with motion sickness i find moving around as you play helps so for gt lean to the left and right as you turn. For the best comparison of cockpits try the Honda nsx concept gr2 car everytime I get in that car in vr I'm totally blown away the flat version is just meh Another cool thing when driving in vr if you look over at the driver of the car you overtake occasionally they look back!.I suffered from motion sickness most of my life but never in vr.The tip you gave about driving slowly around the track is spot on also the weirdness when driving on a bank was intentional apparently during testing everyone threw up so they made it that way shame they cant implement a toggle so we can try it.
Oh I just love seeing newcomers to VR, glad you're enjoying it :). PSVR2 is just revolutionary for GT7. BTW make sure to check the settings, there might be ways to modify some of those motion issues you note, sometimes things are by default off for comfort. It's a bit different, but back on psvr1 we also had the unbelievable Wipeout in VR. I'd never been into Wipeout, but you know I played all three games back to back. I lost my mind, it was just so excellent.
I bought PSVR2 for the sake of VR in general. I play loots of other VR titles that I love, but GT7 is one i play constantly, usually daily. I can't even drive on a flatscreen anymore, I guess I'm spoiled. 😂
I only drive in GT7 in PSVR2. Yes, there are competitive disadvantages, but immersion is more important to me. Only time I don't use it is when I'm working on car liveries (which unsurprisingly accounts for majority of my GT7 time because my design style requires tedious multiple steps and the high number of liveries Im requested to make)
Dope video man! I purchased the psvr2 the day it released, that then made me get GT7, it is now my only and perfered way to play. I'd like second his statement! when he says what you see on his video vs what you see in the head you is alot different, he %100 you have to play it yourself to truely understand!
I don't play gt7 in VR because it's my relaxed game that I play with a controller but my pc sims, I always use VR.. Once I tried it, I won't play without it
Excellent video. I don't think I could ever go back to flat screen again. I feel kinda bad for the guys that get motion sickness in VR and can't enjoy it. And I think the guys that just don't want to try it, are doing themselves a disservice by not experiencing the immersion. If you're on the fence whether to buy..just pull the damn trigger!
1) you do not need the VR controllers at all, you can calibrate VR with the PS5 controller 2) you picked the worst VR showroom for the video review ;) 3) there is no going back to flat screen racing
I found gt7 a game changer in vr. I saved for it as it was cheaper than pc and a head set, yes it would be nice cheaper but with the library and quality of the games it’s worth every penny in my opinion. I have hundreds of hours in this bit of hardware and why should I look at a game when I can be in it. Thanks for the amazing content 👍
I really love the vr2, that is fantastic! I think these are the things have to be improved and fixed. First chromatic abberation, this can be improved (now is much better since its launch) Dashboards don’t provide all of the informations that they show. Like tcs, tyre heat etc. Lastly driving position can be set automatically. I hope polyphony sole these. For the rest of the game that is phenomenal, you can feel that the sunlight heats your arms and face. That is mind blowing 🔥
It’s a lot of an initial outlay but it’s worth it. I can’t imagine going back to flat screen. Never once had motion sickness on GT7 Only negative is that you can’t see the times of the lead driver or players in front or behind you so can’t tell if your gaining or losing time to those players.
Excellent review mate, and thanks for the shout out! You're welcome to borrow the PSVR2 again in the future sometime if you want to get that immersion back. Maybe you could ask for one as a Christmas present? :D
I’m looking for things to sell to fund the PSVR2 acquisition 🤣🤣
A child's kidney, perhaps?😊
🤣🤣
Since I have the PSVR2 I cannot imagine playing without it.
It’s like sitting in a car vs staring at a screen.
Exactly. I tried playing GT7 on flat. It sucked...couldn't judge distance. Put it back on...instant awesomeness!!
@@williamsaloka9043 yeah flatscreen is now Retro for you 😂
Holding "option" button to reset position is very useful. Neutral position is not always optimal. But you can achieve "adjusting seat position" by holding your head in different position and then hold to reset/recalibrate. By doing this you can move vertical/horizontal inside the car to find the best seat position for every different car.
I only bought Ps5 for Gt7 and PSVR2! Was playing on huge flat screen prior and I will NEVER go back to playing ANY game on flat screen let alone GT7. The immersion, sense of speed and distance are unmatched! All my lap times have DRASTICALLY improved as a result of spotting apexes better due to enhanced depth perception. I would say if you’re not playing in VR , you’re not playing the full GT7 experience. Track details and engine sounds in general are sublime. Well worth the quality of life investment and one of the best decisions of my life!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏻👍🏻
how much did it cost?
Same here. I will never go back to flat screen. 👍🏁
@@Gdad-20 yeah just buy buy buyyyy,,, performance is not good, they need better performance, better gyro, imu
I love GT7, FH4 and FH5. I hope GT8 will be open world.
I loved T-GT II best wheel ever with shifter TH8A
I've had my psvr2 for over a year now. The only time I don't use it is for sarthe 700 grinding. Otherwise its on. The experience is incredible and there is no reaction video on youtube that can really encapsulate what it feels like to be immersed in it
I totally agree Doughtinator! PSVR2 totally changes the GT7 experience. If I can share a few tips to improve the experience. 1) I have a small fan mounted to my rig so I can “Feel the breeze” when racing, plus helps keep you cool. 2) I always adjust my headset and lenses position in settings menu before I race. 3) I use a VR face mask to absorb any sweat for those endurance races. 4) motion sickness can be mitigated by turning down the brightness level. I absolutely love GT7 + PSVR2 ❤
I bought gt7 having already got my psvr2 and so it's all I'm used to now. I tried it in 2d and it's awful tbh. VR once your used to it becomes the only type of gaming you ever want to do. This is the pinnacle of gaming for me and I've been gaming since early 80s. The fact that you also get Resident evil games in VR makes the Psvr2 a must have. Sell everything you own and get one today!
I agree.
Quick tip : you can just hold the options button on your wheel to reset neutral position. You don't have to touch the helmet. Also.. FIRST!
That’s right. However, I have to agree it shouldn’t be necessary. The game should keep the neutral position since the opening of the game.
@@Gato-Laranja-Mts Agreed
I find do the reset twice and the focus gets better. Also lighting in the room makes the motion blur clearer
It doesn't happen very often.
Lol oh wow. You guys get drift in VR2 too?
In my VR1 I'm always holding Options button to reset the screen whenever it's a long race
I have the VR2 about a month and I'm already quicker. A fan blowing on you helps
Behind you and it'll be pushing you asking. You're losing speed!
I bought gt7 on a sale to try it out with my psvr2. After less than a hour playing i ordered a steering wheel and stand. Already looking to upgrade to a dd wheel. Absolutely love it. Absolute game changer.
You're going to be in heaven.
Snap! Bought a PS5 and PSVR2 when the headset came out. GT7 blew my mind. Bought a wheel and pedals and within 2 months I had upgraded to a DD wheel and load cell pedals. I'm totally addicted to it. Wish my wallet could also buy me some driving skills
I can't play flat screen after VR it's amazing
What a brilliant review Chris. I’ve had mine now for about three weeks and purchased it during Sony’s summer sale and I have to say it’s changed the way I play GT forever.
My eyesight isn’t perfect and hasn’t been since childhood and that’s what’s been putting me off from buying one, especially at the full price. I couldn’t ignore the sale price and so pleased I didn’t. I’ve said for years that the biggest leap forward for me was the transition of graphics from GT2 to GT3 but PSVR2 beats anything I’ve ever experienced and I won’t ever go back to 2D racing.
I felt a little motion sickness for the first two to three corners of my first race but after that it felt completely natural and the VR showroom…just WOW!!
Finally, I’ve never been able to play 2D cockpit view, which was another worry about VR but in VR it’s a completely different experience and feels totally natural to the point that VR allows you to pin point braking areas and turning points, hitting your apexes almost for fun. I feel blown away every time I switch it on and race.
Before I watch this video, I would like to say, the PS VR2 made GT7 very hard to play without the immersive experience the VR gives.
I play on a 4k oled. I rented a PSVR2 for a weekend, got sick, fought it, felt amazed, enjoyed various cars. Then I gave it back and needed 2 or 3h to adjust back to not feeling distances anymore. In VR lenght, depth feels so natural. Definitely getting my own. It s really hard to explain how good it feels... Great review man.
I had motion sickness the first time as well when I got it (on release of gt7). The very next morning I raced for around 3 hours straight and I completely acclimated. Never been sick since and I can’t play gt7 flat anymore.
@@esvignettes7592 Got mine 2 weeks ago. Already addicted. Just like you I can't play flat anymore :D
If you run a fan and blow air around your face it helps with the motion sickness to
To reset the neutral position of the headset, press and hold the option button on your controller/wheel. It will still pause the game, but it's faster than using the AR button on the headset.
Do a night time race on Nurburgring!
Spa 1 hour race does day>night"day cycle WITH rain. Amazing.
FYI: TO RESET YOUR HEAD POSITION without leaving the game view in the headset (and see where your view will be in game):
1. Click the OPTION button to Pause the game.
2. Position your head to where you want the view to switch to.
3. While holding your head in that position, click and HOLD the OPTION button.
4. Now you can select continue and get back to driving.
> You will see the view snap to the new position on screen and SEE where your head placement will be when you continue.
I figured this process out because some of the cars don't have the head position placed even close to where I want it. So, to fix it, I find myself pushing my head forward and craning my head upward or crouching down while resetting in order to get the view correct.
Note: This is the most frustrating part about PSVR2 in GT7 for me. But I feel like it's a small price to pay for such a great, immersive experience. I would never go back. They do need to give us a better option though. They should add the ability to be able to reset the view with a button "while driving".
Every GT7 player should own PSVR2, no exceptions.
NEVER going back, have xbox series x, PC and PS5. Got the PSVR2 for xmas and its a total wrap for me. Its soooo damn amazing. I can see all around my car now. No more blind spots. Love it!!
It’s very impressive! 👍🏻👍🏻
GT7 in VR is the most defining and game changing moment in my 40 years of gaming! A true masterpiece.
Yeah it’s very impressive!!
The VR is worth every penny. I feel like the price is nothing because it feels like you are really in the car. So it's essentially like having real cars and tracks. If you went racing for real, it would probably cost you twice as much for just 1 day. Here it feels basically the same as racing for real, except you can do it anytime you want, forever.
To me, I love PSVR2 on GT7, but it's one of the few games I enjoy that deeply in VR for PS. I haven't gotten to own one yet, but I used my buddies time to time when we hang out on weekends.
Is there any way to keep it from being so shaky?
It’s only shaking watching it back. You don’t see this while using it.
That's right, my first experience on GT7 was also less pleasant. At the first turn I felt my stomach turn like a washing machine. Stopped playing, waited an hour and tried again. Repeated this a few times and the motion sickness was gone. Never had any problems since then. I now only play GT7 with the PSVR2.
20:53 you can also reset the camera by Holding the options Button on the wheel. It's a bit faster.
Wow, your review is most in depth. Thank you for covering the good and bad parts. You are very aware of immersion in for a VR. Glad you covered stuff like oval banking tracks.
I have to agree with you that VR changed the game. It’s absolutely amazing to play in VR. It’s become the only way for me to race now. I love it that much.
Thank you! I feel the same way. GT7 on PSVR2 feels like an evolution in gaming to me. Some races feel so real that by the end, I'm pouring sweat from so much adrenaline! Truly breathtaking.
Next, I'm adding a 5 channel tactile bass shaker system to my rig. Can't wait!
Great video, I watched as I thought you were going to trash it, glad you didn't. I'm terrible with motion sickness and GT7 now no issue. I've compiled for motion sickness below for other suffers.
Wear light clothing e.g. T-shirt
Have a fan pointed at or near you
Try to look mainly forwards and try not to look around too much or at things in the car.
Bend you body a little into bends and your head etc. Not so much that the wire car appears but enough that your body feels like it's cornering in a car.
If you lose the car and it's starts to spin then briefly avert your vision or even close your eyes.
When the finish banner comes up, concentrate on it and not around in the car or side windows.
Stay away as much as possible from dirt, snow or tracks with steep left right slopes e.g. the ovals.
Keep you sessions short (15-30 mins) and take long breaks of at least 30 mins.
First sign of feeling sick then stop, do not try to push through or you will feel unwell for hours and it will put you off on keep trying.
After some time, you will be able to play for longer (I can now do hours) without issue and then you'll be free to look around more etc. I still stay away from dirt or snow tracks or if I do them then I don't do them for very long.
Yeah I think it’s brilliant. Would be nice if it was a bit cheaper but it’s a pretty cool bit of kit.
Thanks for sharing your tips to help in VR 👍🏻👍🏻
Those are great tips. One other recommendation I've heard is to pick cars where you're more enclosed when you're starting out. Convertibles or the open wheel racers are a more intense experience that could be too much when you're new to VR.
Hope you turn on impact vibration on the VR headset too
Yes. I think it’s in by default 👍🏻
I'm a non-racing fan who picked up GT7 with my PSVR2 and now I'm absolutely hooked. Racing was MEANT for VR.
Good hint for gt7 for even better immersion is go to settings and turn off all the info on the screen in game and turn off driver names too. So much more realistic.
Good suggestion 👍🏻👍🏻
I know this video was from a while ago. But the comment made about being off centre when switching from flat screen to VR if you are not looking ahead. Can you not just hold the options button to recalibrate? You get of centre issues all of the time though far less than the original PSVR. Always fixed with holding options down. Switching to pass through mode etc seems to be unnecessary?
I think you could. But if you were in an online race it might not be to easy.
But it’s not really a problem once you know when it ‘sets’ neutral and you just learn to look forwards. 👍🏻👍🏻
I lost my left eye to an injury as a child and therefore have little memory of stereoscopic vision and depth perception. The field of vision is pretty good for me in VR2. Immersion is impressive. It felt like the arms holding the wheel were my arms. Hard to explain the sensation.
A big plus is being able to look into corners.
I've started playing in cockpit view outside of VR to try and get used to driving with restricted vision as its much harder to see the braking points with all the obstructions.
Sorry to hear about your injury man.
I know exactly the feeling you are taking about. Looking down I really believe that the virtual driver is me. It’s very immersive.
@ That’s ok, mate. Life deals us all a hand and we have to play the cards we’re dealt.
I'm pretty new to racing, so appreciate all your good work. Thanks!
I bought a high end 65 inch Samsung TV for my PS5 and don't even use it. I only play two games on the PS5 right now which are GT7 and Resident Evil 4 Remake and I play them both in VR. I attempted to go back to flat screen on GT7 and was disappointed. I couldn't believe how different the game felt in VR vs Flat. I couldn't corner at all with the flat screen. I now have my PS5, Sim Rig, and VR headset in a different room from my TV. I did however, mount a computer monitor to my rig so I can take a brake from the headset on those long sessions while grinding for money.
Hoping that the next gt game will have race engineers “spotters” to give us race info, position, delta etc.
I play on an old TV, 1080p without HDR, about 32 inches.
In VR would you say the resolution is a little better?
Apart from the resolution, when you look at a sign from 100 or 150 meters, what does the image look like?
I think you’d be in a similar position to me. I found it easier to spot the braking boards in VR. Thinking about LeMan especially picking the boards out of the trees on the mulsanne straight is easier in VR 👍🏻
@@Doughtinator wow thanks MT friend!
PSVR 2 is about the equivalent of a 2K resolution, maybe a bit higher. It has two 2000 x 2040 screens (one per eye), but the overall effect isn't double that resolution (which would be close to 4K), since your brain overlaps the images to give you the 3D visuals. Hope this helps.
Currently wants with the PSVR2 and GT7:
- leaderboard
- custom tachometers as either a HUD or in car thing. This is more for engine swaps… when my car’s stock tachometer goes up to 8k, but my motor revs to 9, it’s not too useful. Even modded cars rev well past their tachs too.
- the banking effect on banked tracks
- units… I mainly drive with MPH, if the car had the option for that, switch it.
- higher resolution. Maybe PS5 Pro will be capable of this.
- fine adjustment of driver height could be useful for some elements that are hidden behind the rim of the steering wheel. Granted it is probably like that in real life.
I do love that I can use the native gauges. It’s fantastic to have and use. Though they aren’t the most legible.
One note, you can see deltas to your fastest lap in your MFD. but it will only do the current lap you’re on as well as the last lap run. Also gives optimal lap too. Oh, and holding the pause button will also reset center; I hate being ever so slightly off center.
Great video, makes me want to get a VR headset for the ps5.
What wheel and pedals do you use with the playstation? I’m confused to go for simagic or moza
awesome video i am thinking about purchasing it but i have one question, can the vr be used in every game mode such as online or only certain ones?
Sorry for the delay. Yes all modes are playable in VR except I think split screen on same console.
I notice that your driving in Offset mode for either your screen or the PSVR2, my question is can you use the offset mode on the PSVR2? Offset is far more realistic. its a real pain as you have ensure your behind the onscreen wheel but so much better.
Push and hold the options button to instantly reset your view. No need to go into any menus 😉
Its very good but i find it too blurry still. Even after watching countless youtube videos on best settings for the clearest picture. And yea i wear glasses when playing games and ive tried with and without. But still all on all its a great experience. Would definitely recommend getting the extra padding and over head strap for more comfort and takes more weight off the front. I would recommend it for sure.
Yeah there is always that little bit of blur. Some people have said on PS5 Pro it’s improved. But I’ve not tried it.
Glad to hear how much you liked it. VR really is incredible and racing games are absolutely the best use of VR. The added depth perception is invaluable, the way you can understand elevation changes on the track in a way that's simply impossible on a flat screen. Plus it really lets you appreciate the work PD puts into their car models.
Is it any good when you wear varifocal glasses??
It’s hard to say. It does fit with smaller glasses but I’ve heard other people have problems with bigger glasses.
GT in PSVR2 is the best gaming experience I’ve ever had period. I could never go back to flat screen now. The depth perception and being able to look into your turns. It just simply feels natural and how all sims should be experienced. This has been a dream of mine since I was a child.
Might sound silly, but to deal with the weight of the VR head unit, I pretend that I'm wearing a helmet.
Yeah man. I get that 100% 👍🏻👍🏻
That gives more immersion
Same. I rode motorbikes, a lot, so it doesn't feel all that odd to me.
I can't drive GT7 without v.r. It feels "right" sitting in my rig. Awesome experience!!
How does the graphics fidelity compare to a good 4K monitor. I know it's not gonna be the same, but is it noticably worse?
It’s hard to know really. Probably a lot worse. I don’t use 4K when I play on flat. Just 1080p 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Doughtinator Thanks for the reply. You mention that in the video. I was hoping somebody else would know in the comments section.
Good review. I have been using the VR2 since it first came out and when it works properly it’s damn amazing. But, I finally disconnected it after constant frustrations with intermittent glitches. Recently I went to use it and there’s no sounds at all when I put it on. It even kills my monitor sounds. Last time is used it everything was ok. Then, the rubber face cushions partially came off and it’s very difficult to reattach properly. In the end, because of the VR I found myself not desiring to play the game as much. I’m an older guy so I have very little patience for this expensive nonsense. I’m back to just my large monitor , which works perfect everytime. 22:25
Only issue for me is having to adjust head position every race,
Yeah I agree on this. 👍🏻👍🏻
Always loved racing with interior view, so I know once I get the PSVR2 it’ll be a game changer 🔥
aye I know you! Glad to see my fellow BRZ/86 guy out here.
what steering wheel are you using?
Just a Logitech G29 👍🏻
I bought gt7 and vr2 for ps5 last week. I hadn't played it on flat screen and having tried in VR, I never will! It is amazing.
Motion sickness stopped after around 10 hours of play. I was really sick to begin with, but can play for hours now.
You can switch the weather radar to other displays such as car radar or track map etc with the d pad.
You can put the reset view button on the wheel it only pauses the game it doesn't go black and white
Great review and I purchased PSVR2 today and set up as instructed but being a glasses wearer it is not to easy to find the clear focus spot and my question is when you filmed this while wearing the headset did you see the outline of the both lens while viewing the VR, sorry hard to explain and cannot capture a picture showing this effect.
Your VR was very clear and crisp compared to mine and I have watch many videos on how to cure this.
Lense inserts mate
Life changer
@@BOGZLR I have purchased HONS VR lenses and what a difference it makes for comfort.
I‘m a first day buyer and never played without it. i love this thing.
Great video, I agree with everything you said with the negatives, especially the race position info. For your best lap and section timings, one of the options in the HUD which includes the weather and tyres/fuel is a fastest lap and delta for up to the last 3 section splits. They really need to get the race position timings in there. But I can't go back to the flat screen!! Assetto need to get VR into the PS5 version too.
NEXT try with the PVR2 and a compatible 3D headset, like the JBL Quantum 800 with active noise cancelling......
I'm starting to wonder if this is good enough for me to switch from iracing. I think it might well be. Almost all of my pc stuff is old. Still rocking my 5 year old rift s. Everything needs changing. Vidja card aside. Oh and my wheel base, got the CSW 2.5 and I understand it won't work on a playstation, but my McLaren wheel should I think. So that's something..
I hope it's less jittery in your view than it is in ours. Holy crap.
That being said, I'm still super excited to try it.
Yeah the jitters only appear when watching back. Those jitters are micro corrections that the VR is making to compensate for my head movements when I’m talking. It looks and feels solid when actually looking into the VR
@@Doughtinator Ahhh good! That settles a very large potential downside for me. I'll more than likely be getting one soon, now. 😁
Psvr2 + GT7 + cockpit simrig + simhub app + buttkiker + or BASS shaker = you get the really true sim experience !! (Gt7 is Also compatible with motion rig but it is way more expensive)
Morion sickness always happens to someone new. Even i had it and i never been dizzy. You gotta get used to it
It is sad that no updates have come to psvr for gt7...
Racing info,(position and timing of other drivers) like they have on a flat screen. This has been asked for since it came out. A simple button touch to turn on and off would be awesome.
There is an option for adjusting the seat height and distance to the wheel but it is greyed out. Even Drive Club had this option for the first psvr.🤔🤔
All that said I love psvr on gt7. I find sometimes while driving it just brings a smile to my face.
If you like racing, do yourself a favour and pick up a psvr for gt7.
My only gripe is lack of leaderboard/timing information when in VR. Therefore i play online/Sport on tv
Also when the car is at an angle, in a real car with the g's you would need to be pulling your head to the side. IMO it makes it feel more natural.
I have tried 3 monitors on pc, a 65 inch TV and now PSVR2. There is no way going back to flat screen for racing games!
It’s a literal game changer.
@@Doughtinator Indeed!
Great video!
Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻
great review - nicely balanced.
I bought a PS5 + PSVR2 + G923 for GT7 a year ago... well worth it, never regretted it, it's an incredible experience, and I never play GT7 without it - despite the negatives you mention (which I fully agree with) - its just such a natural experience, going down Eau Rouge in a Gr3 (or a radical!) for the first time, wow. I cannot get enough of the Spa 24 hour with the rain !
its hard to describe... perhaps best example though is awareness, if you are going into a corner and you have someone on the inside but not sure where they are, you just glance over..you'll also find yourself naturally looking to the apex - .its so natural, no looking at radars or trying to shift your view with a joystick.
a couple of notes:
- if you wear glasses, its best to buy some prescription lens for vr2 which simply clip in. (worth it even for a mild prescription)
- you can reset the centre point using the reset button, you dont need to come out (but still its crazy , PD need to fix this)
- after a year, I did want to play other driving games (only on flat) , esp WRC - and similar to you, GT7/VR2 made playing flat a bit 'meh'.
but after a few weeks, I noticed, I could switch between vr n' flat and enjoy both again..
- have you tried the vr replay - thats quite cool too...
can't wait to see what comes next... (gt8?)
wouldn't it be great if vr showroom and replay were merged, so you could. walk out of the garage onto the pitwall, and watch the race :)
anyway, hope you get one, spoil yourself, you've worked hard to make a great channel.... you deserve a treat ;)
My problem isn’t so much blur but instead it’s the weird jiggery textures, draw distance looks really bad like you see car parts pop in as you get closer to cars on tracks with long straits, flat textures and mura effect that’s a problem with the psvr2 itself. The 3d makes it worth it though just have to get used to it. Also I noticed some tracks looks really good but others like laguna seca look horrid. Same with certain weather and time of day.
Here’s my thoughts and review: REVVING UP REALITY | Gran Turismo 7 PSVR2 Review
th-cam.com/video/kD9ebUJQqg4/w-d-xo.html 😊
I never play in flat screen after I bought the PSVR2 can you imagine?
I only play GT7 in VR and it is the best. Only wish the track would lean in the headset when banking.
100% agree!!
curious to know how many people are running faster lap times now after using VR2? i'm not the fastest racer by any means, so if this can potentially give me faster laps from the enhanced depth immersion/seeing apexes etc then i could be convinced to buy one
Which is Fastest? PSVR2 or Flat Screen?
th-cam.com/video/V6HnAJLByn8/w-d-xo.html
about the offset issue you can also map a button from the will to fix it. So everyt time you leave pitstop while the car is in auto mode, then push the button while make sure you look straight ahead.
How do you do this?
@@TheHotstepper76 I will send you later tomorrow screen cap before reset and after reset. That help to customise your FOV.
@@denisgoria270 hi - did you send this ? 👍
Probably looks good for a console but to my eyes psvr2 mura affect is pretty horrible and i did not find gt7 ultra amazing or anything but i am probably biased usually on pc with 4090 using bigscreen beyond. I am interested to test psvr2 on PC if that adapter they are working on ever comes out.
Yeah I guess when you compare to a good PC setup then PSVR2 may not look so good.
I have tried GT Sport VR on original VR headset and only found it quite lacking and claustrophobic in cockpit view. Does PSVR2 feel much better?
PSVR2 is very underated, imho. I own a PS5 and a PC and play PSVR2 on both. Though my PC is more powerful than my 5, the PS5 puts out some great VR performance. GT in VR is such a great wat to play the game, its visually stunning, smooth and the immersion is unreal, especially when coupled with a wheel. Though expensive, the PSVR2 coupled with a PS5 gives people a great hands on experience with VR, not all too far than that of PC which is fantastic for a £700 to £800 set up. Resident Evil, Arizona Sunshine, Pavlov, Walking Dead, GT7, to name a few, with a pretty great and growing catalogue.
Why are going out of game to reset the screen when you can just press the options button
$1,000 is worth the price for GT7 VR alone. I already had a sim wheel setup so the decision was easy. Have not touched a PC racing game since I bought it a year ago.
Sony already said this game would be impossible to port to a PC. Kind of like how it took the Matrix Awakens Unreal 5 Demo 2 full years to get ported to a PC they kept running into roadblocks.
A friend was on the Unreal 5 demo project.
Great video, i wish more of the regular streamers would use it, they have all tried it, love it but find it hard to communicate with there community.. I just can't go back to flat screen it feels so lifeless. On your first negative you actually learn to use that as a tool thats why it is as it is. Sometimes you will find the stock position is to close, far high or low. So all you do is position yourself opposite eg if you want to be closer you push right back in the chair, hold options button down only, once it resets move back forward. Once you know that position you just put yourself there before you restart it only takes a couple of times practice on each car.
The slight blurriness is mostly down to it being 60hz reprojected. This also can add to the motion sickness for some. Thats interesting as there is 120 hz mode in gt7 so it must be the ps5 can't cope. 🤞For ps5 to sort that out. Red matter 2 is probably as clear as i have seen it can be.
Id agree it is a bit expensive just for gt7, there are some other great experiences out there on it and always sales making most games quite cheap if you hang on.
The lack of race info is biggest ine for me and can be very frustrating.
The lock with horizon/ lock with car should be an option not changed, as if you were lucky enough to have a motion sim you would want it as it is.
Nice work mate, hope you end up getting it and thanks for getting some feedback out there, as you say no footage can show how it really is until you are in there.
in fairness, I think vr is a 'personal experience'... its not as good for viewers, as they don't get the immersion etc, just a shakey image - some vr games now support a different view for the social/streamed view to aid this.
that said, for TH-camrs, I quite like JammyHero's new approach, he combines flatscreen footage with VR views mixed in - its a bit like how in F1 these days, we see a regular tv image, mixed with a bit of helmet cam. so used sparingly, just like in is in F1, it gives an interesting additional viewpoint.
I just got one today. I've found only one issue so far. I get nothing but a flat tv view in lobby mode. No vr in multiplayer? That's a bite in the ass and very unexpected…. Update: it was a simple mistake of not leaving the pits. In the pits, you have a flat screen view, but if you hit the accelerator you will go out of the pits and into virtual reality. I have no idea why they did something so stupid but I guess they needed to.
Do you mean the race lobby or the hangout ones?
Also about the blurriness, the sweet spot of the PSVR2 lenses is quite small. Getting the headset in the right position is paramount for a clear view. Also, the game uses foveated rendering. So it only detail renders the part of the screen you are looking at. The eye tracking sorts the rest out. And you can't trick it to try to see outside the detail render area. The eye tracking always knows where you are looking. Just a shame about the small lens sweet spot. Especially when compared to the Quest 3, which has a huge sweet spot.
I will never go back to pancake gaming . I recently got the shifter for my set up and it's so good to drive a stick again one hand on the wheel the other resting on the stick it felt so right. To help with motion sickness i find moving around as you play helps so for gt lean to the left and right as you turn. For the best comparison of cockpits try the Honda nsx concept gr2 car everytime I get in that car in vr I'm totally blown away the flat version is just meh Another cool thing when driving in vr if you look over at the driver of the car you overtake occasionally they look back!.I suffered from motion sickness most of my life but never in vr.The tip you gave about driving slowly around the track is spot on also the weirdness when driving on a bank was intentional apparently during testing everyone threw up so they made it that way shame they cant implement a toggle so we can try it.
TIP. Just hold down start button for head position reset
Oh I just love seeing newcomers to VR, glad you're enjoying it :). PSVR2 is just revolutionary for GT7. BTW make sure to check the settings, there might be ways to modify some of those motion issues you note, sometimes things are by default off for comfort.
It's a bit different, but back on psvr1 we also had the unbelievable Wipeout in VR. I'd never been into Wipeout, but you know I played all three games back to back. I lost my mind, it was just so excellent.
Great video Chris, hope you get one for yourself, I mean if you got passed the motion sickness and can enjoy it, I think it makes it worth it
I bought PSVR2 for the sake of VR in general. I play loots of other VR titles that I love, but GT7 is one i play constantly, usually daily. I can't even drive on a flatscreen anymore, I guess I'm spoiled. 😂
I only drive in GT7 in PSVR2. Yes, there are competitive disadvantages, but immersion is more important to me. Only time I don't use it is when I'm working on car liveries (which unsurprisingly accounts for majority of my GT7 time because my design style requires tedious multiple steps and the high number of liveries Im requested to make)
It's the greatest thing to happen to a great game.
Dope video man! I purchased the psvr2 the day it released, that then made me get GT7, it is now my only and perfered way to play.
I'd like second his statement! when he says what you see on his video vs what you see in the head you is alot different, he %100 you have to play it yourself to truely understand!
Playstation needs to put the headset into a racing helmet, next generation step up! Then coyld custom ones helmet, be the best takeover ever!
Yeah a full VR helmet would be epic!
2 things for me, It makes me dizzy after having it on for a while and also the price is to high...🎉🎉🎉
There were something that cannot be described by words, you must feel it
I can never go back to flat screen PSVR2 is amazing. I actually restarted GT7 just to do everything in PSVR2
Debating making a new profile to do exact same!
I don't play gt7 in VR because it's my relaxed game that I play with a controller but my pc sims, I always use VR.. Once I tried it, I won't play without it
Excellent video. I don't think I could ever go back to flat screen again. I feel kinda bad for the guys that get motion sickness in VR and can't enjoy it. And I think the guys that just don't want to try it, are doing themselves a disservice by not experiencing the immersion. If you're on the fence whether to buy..just pull the damn trigger!
1) you do not need the VR controllers at all, you can calibrate VR with the PS5 controller 2) you picked the worst VR showroom for the video review ;)
3) there is no going back to flat screen racing
I found gt7 a game changer in vr. I saved for it as it was cheaper than pc and a head set, yes it would be nice cheaper but with the library and quality of the games it’s worth every penny in my opinion. I have hundreds of hours in this bit of hardware and why should I look at a game when I can be in it. Thanks for the amazing content 👍
I really love the vr2, that is fantastic! I think these are the things have to be improved and fixed. First chromatic abberation, this can be improved (now is much better since its launch) Dashboards don’t provide all of the informations that they show. Like tcs, tyre heat etc. Lastly driving position can be set automatically. I hope polyphony sole these. For the rest of the game that is phenomenal, you can feel that the sunlight heats your arms and face. That is mind blowing 🔥
It’s a lot of an initial outlay but it’s worth it.
I can’t imagine going back to flat screen.
Never once had motion sickness on GT7
Only negative is that you can’t see the times of the lead driver or players in front or behind you so can’t tell if your gaining or losing time to those players.
