PSVR2's Arrival On Gran Turismo 7 Changes Everything...

[@saimir77]

IMPORTANT THING that most GT7 VR players dont know is - for anyone wondering how to adjust the in game wheel to be higher or lower, or away from you (the driver), or closer to you, simply lower your head (while you have the psvr2 headset on) and keep pressed the option button if you want the wheel to be higher, raise the head+hold the option button if you want the wheel to be lower. Lean/move your body toward the wheel and keep pressed the option button if you want the in game wheel to be further from you, move away from the wheel+hold on the option button if you want the ingame wheel to be closer to you. So, play around a few times until you get the desired position.

[@MasDouc]

It's really annoying you have to do this every time

[@McSniffle]

I have VR for PC and its incredible for flight sims as well. Though to be honest, I play GT7 exclusively in cockpit view because if you don't, you're missing out on an insane amount of work developers have put into the car interiors. In VR you just get to see even more of it.

[@iHecta]

So true, the small layout at grand valley is insane in VR

[@vgaportauthority9932]

Yeah, some of these tracks feel like rollercoasters in VR. It's so hard to represent "steepness" on 2d screens.

[@dbzcollector9963]

I'm so happy that VR reached the point where people other than us VR nutbags see the awesomeness it brings to gaming. I love VR soooooo much, and the adoption of VR was way slower than I ever thought.. But now it seems like we're finally at a point where VR is meeting and exceeding expectations. I hope tons and tons and tons of people join in, it's truly the most fun I've ever had in video games over the close to 40 years I've played.

Hey vgaportauthority9932 :) now 4 months later i reply to old massages haha lol.. i think you are right! Back in the day with phone vr many people did try it and thought: this is not vr it is gonna be a forgotten its a gimmick.. but those people need to try it these days with new tech... I see vr is the future in gaming but also in immitating life. Maybe the matrix movie is what is possible in the far future.. i love vr

[@mattburkey]

Your speechlessness at the end, says more than words could. Wait until you see the detail on the cars in the VR showroom in the garage. There is also a VR replay option that stand you along the side of the track and you can watch the car's speed by. I hope Polyphony add more scenic circuits like Eiger Nordwand, Matterhorn, El Capitan, Sierra and others (updated visuals of course). The race tracks are good, but there have been some very scenic circuits which would be breathtaking in VR. The new Grand Valley has been fun in VR, although I closed my eyes as I skidded towards the edge of the cliff (even knowing there's an invisible barrier). There are so many people watching these streams seeing people react to VR racing for the first time, and all they're seeing are these flat headtracked videos and people saying "This is amazing, this is unbelieveable, this is unreal, this is absolutely incredible". The sensations and feeling of PRESENCE do not translate to descriptive words or a video. The first time wearing a VR headset and being transported somewhere else is incredible. Equally, taking the VR headset off for the first time and being back in your room can be just as disorienting. Your brain is like "Oh, I'm in my room. Of course I'm in my room... but I was just somewhere else". The format needs more full AAA games, fingers crossed Sony (and all other VR manufacturers/developers) can break new ground. If one succeeds, they all do.

[@georgesanchez8051]

Hope you’re enjoying the shit out of Eiger Nordwand now. You called its addition over a year in advance lmao

[@fj06carnone]

Listen: Get in a Radical SR3, and drive the new Grand Valley circuit. When driving through the second or third tunnel, admire the front fender and tell me it's not 100% photorealistic. Simply stunning.

Will try that as I have just added my bike trainer blower fan to the rig (helps me with motion sickness) will feel the wind rushing too hehe 😅

[@Mikey48ish]

Glad that you had such a great first experience with GT7 on the PSVR2. Yes, Simulation games are just a natural for VR (flight sims are awesome too but can really induce motion sickness if you're not careful...LOL). BTW, when running GT7 in VR there is also an added mode in the settings menu that lets you view your race replays in VR mode (it puts you at specific points along the side of the track and you can watch the cars speed by,,,it's pretty amazing watching race replays in VR!)

[@russc5269]

Oh where's that option ?

[@Mikey48ish]

@@russc5269 After you finish a race and get to the option screen where you can play the replay or retry the race, when you select "replay" there is a bottom option labeled "VR Replay". The option is also available when you go to the "Showcase" location and replay your saved race replays. It's pretty cool.

[@vgaportauthority9932]

Wait what? I didn't know about this! Literally the only thing I dislike about GT7 is that the replays aren't VR.... Literally never noticed that option.

Now I just need them to give us an in car view for all the VGT cars because I can’t drive those in VR with that top of the car view. 😂

[@zackmac5917]

Welcome to the future! It was an absolute pleasure to watch this. It's always satisfying to watch someone inexperienced with VR, try the pinnacle of VR for the first time. PSVR2 is going to have a similar impact on most people as it did to you. I'm very excited about the fact that VR has finally hit a mainstream point where the tech and the whole experience is ready for prime time. People don't realise that VR (especially the quality of PSVR2 + GT7) literally transports you into the game. It's not like some fake looking 3D display. You truly feel like you are there, it looks like how you see real life. You finished this perfectly, because that absolutely sums it up. It truly changes the game, period. All the technology before this was leading up to VR. Sony should use this as an ad!

[@casefc3s]

Couple tips for nausea in racing VR, tilt your head to stay perpendicular to embankments (following the tilt of the car, e.g. in the carrousel) and close your eyes when coming to a complete stop. The absence of the lurch if you're used to stopping in a real car will get ya. Also helps with crashes, depending on the type. When in doubt, just close your eyes and hold the brakes until you're completely stopped.

[@misiopuchatek152]

Yup, wise words. The lack of G-force is the biggest problem with any VR experience so we have to simulate it. Tilting head or even shaking it on straights helps with giving brain enough extra forces to deal with even if they are not comparable to real ones. Just let your brain work a little with gravity. Closing eyes works as well - tested. And with every race this will just go away by itself. I'd add from my own experience. In the beginning pick slow car and flattest track possible. Laguna Seca, Spa or Nordschleife are not the wisest choices to begin with. Even if you think you are a boss and everything will be great, cause rollercoasters and car rides have no impact on you, believe me, VR will mess everything and actually that experience with those rides can be the real culprit here. Also sequence of corners are the worst. Not single turn but fast chicanes. Brain will act by itself and give your body signals to counter incoming forces. You can deal with that with one turn but another one incoming right away just messes up everything and head spin is almost guaranteed. Give yourself a time. Couple of hours and days should set everything in its right place. And it is worth to win.

[@damiresq]

not the only one, but the best reason for me to not have a driving license :))

[@grimmcrag8715]

That speechless reaction after you took the headset off is the perfect advertisement for VR in my opinion. Watching trailers can only give you an idea, it's something you really have to experience.

[@vgaportauthority9932]

It's impossible to really imagine a piece of tech tricking the brain as hard as VR does. Nothing else in the world tricks the brain like this, so we can't really compare it to anything.. It's one of those things that has to be experienced to be understood.

[@donnajones1075]

You cant go back to flat screen once you have played in vr. It's so life like.

The detail on the cars in the VR showroom is unbelievable. Everything is rendering at the maximum resolution and there is so much attention to detail everywhere you look.

Great vid Rory, pretty much the same reaction I had. I must admit I was sceptical about being able to use VR2 when I bought it as I didn’t get on with my daughters VR1 due to sickness. But I had to try it and was willing to sell if I could not get in with it. Initially I could manage about 15 mins. My other half told me about a few things you can do for VR sickness that she found online. Unfortunately I can’t remember all of them, but I did remember to turn down the screen brightness. This alone is enough for me to be able to play as long as I like. I now don’t get sickness unless I’m in a car that I can see the road going underneath like a go kart or on a track with big elevation changes. My use limit is now governed by when my head gets too sweaty. 😂 I thoroughly recommend VR2 for GT7 but my advice it to get used to it on level tracks like Goodwood.

You did very well to make it round the berg for your first in time in VR without needing to stop and fill a bucket. I'd love this but I just can't handle the motion sickness

[@covkiller8653]

I did 2 hours in vr round the berg was the first thing I loaded up with psvr2 just could not stop. I felt abit sick on the rally track but was able to carry on for another hour or so lol

Can’t wait to try it someday.

top video :) how do you play with DD1 Fanatec compatible ?thanx

[@andylupton9096]

What’s the headset feel like on, I had the previous generation and although it wasn’t particularly uncomfortable, it wasn’t exactly comfortable either and was a bit heavy to wear.

[@tonechaser7174]

I got one and it's insane

[@mbwoods2001]

At least u can see sideways on vr instead of guessing where your opponents are!

[@ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣΓΟΥΖΟΥΑΣΗΣ]

can't imagine the immersion playing with a ps vr 2 and a motion simulator racing seat!!!

[@Random_4U]

I got that same reactie when i saw my new legs in vr, skipped leg day 😄

[@outoutmtb1949]

Apart from cockpit view rory what a the graphics out side of the vehicle are they sharp and goo resolution

[@Phantom096]

I can’t wait for the F1 game and ACC to switch over to VR2.

[@cpaek72]

Are 3 screen monitors dead now? Can't imagine beating the immersion of VR.

[@bobfunk5055]

No he’ll be back on screens in a few days/weeks I’m sure. VR is a pain for streaming.

[@ivanfojan8859]

Looks great Rory. Is it clear and smooth?? I have a Rift S for pc and love driving nords in RF2 and AMS2. It also works well in ACC and MSFS 2020. On pc, it tends to be a tradeoff between speed and graphical quality, plus I still suffer with a bit of motion sickness! Glad to see you're enjoying it though mate, it's a real eye opener :)

[@Tom--Ace]

How does it compare to assetto corsa on PC with a reverb g2 or Aero?

[@truderides2243]

I race in vr all the time now since trying my wifes quest 2 last year since then I have upgraded my pc and just have not appetite to race on a flat screen anymore I race on acc and rf2 via lfm and have a right blast also ams2 is really good in vr

[@dribrom]

I walked around a bit today in that B n W camera view and it was really disorientating and felt like a had no balance what so ever.

[@mr.chilll5179]

Will you continue racing in vr or will you go back to flat screen

[@Daz555Daz]

VR not always that great for streaming to be honest.

[@justinvanmerkesteyn9935]

Bathurst is bloody wild in vr2

[@markhorsburgh76]

VR is cool and I enjoy it. Shame the PSVR2 won't work on PC, as it seems well suited to VR racing.

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

Doy. It’s for PS5.
