Gran Turismo 7 Is 10x BETTER In VR!

[@hindey19]

VR has given GT7 life again for me. I hadn't played in a very long time because it felt tiring/repetitive, but VR is a whole new game. Absolutely love it. I just wish they had my car in the game, the one RX-7 they don't have - first gen (1979-1985).

[@murdock6450]

they have my mini coopper s in it :)

[@Uncle-Quinns-Garage]

I'm a Datsun man and it is lacking there. They have a 240Z or two but that's about it. Not even a 300zx or 240sx... just goes right to 350z.

Grab the FC, tho an SA would be nice to the addition. Brap brap

[@tonywrecks6574]

They should, eventually... I hope! If we go by the pattern of older GT games, they will keep updating the car list to the point of (again, I hope) 1000+ cars like GT5 for example by the time it was done. I think the game ended up with over 1400 if I remember correctly? Never played GT6 or Sport, but I have played every other GT game outside those 2, including GT7 now. p.s. just waiting for them to add the Spoon CRZ or even a regular CRZ as well, so I can (hopefully)K-swap it & voila, have my irl setup! 😎🚘

[@caseyrice768]

Per your request, PC Sim racer here sounding off. The plug and play/ease of setup on GT7 IS a big deal. I also like that there's a ton of single player content, even if it's not the 'campaign' that GT has had in the past. I specifically bought my ps5 for psvr2, and GT7, and stopped playing gt7 after about 10 hours almost a year ago originally to savor it for VR, and I'm so so glad I did.

The entire Gran Turismo series has always been credited as " The real driving simulator." With both the PSVR2 and the Logitech G923 steering controller, now it really FEELS like one! Every racing and FPS on the PS5 needs to have an optional 2D/VR mode like this game has. Does anyone else agree?

The beauty of playstation

[@daniel-san836]

I drive a 1993 Mazda Bravo b2600 ute that i've owned and maintained myself for the past 10yrs. She's nearing 430,000kms and still drives beautifully, alas, not without a lot of judgement from my peers telling me I have to get a newer car and for a 36yr old man with as many skills and stories to tell, maybe I should, but unless they're paying then this is the best I can do and I'm honestly quite happy with it. There's an art to driving a car like this, you're best to not stop at red lights, but rather approach them progressively slowly timing the green light so that you can use momentum to keep going again, you also must keep large spaces between you and cars in front of you and take off nice n slowly, also it's important to turn it off at red lights or wherever idle or else you'll stink out an area and burn a lot of fuel for nothing. For 8 of the 10yrs I owned her I had to climb through the passenger side door to access the drivers seat until I recently installed keyless entry which has been a huge game changer. I used to love Gran Turismo back when I was a kid on the PS1 and PS2 that my friends owned, can't wait to get a PS5 and try GT7 with a VR headset one day (only so much one can afford on a peasant wage - i've always worked tireless hard, but always only for minimum/below minimum wage). No other VR seems to have it together like this PSVR 2 unit does.. been waiting for this moment to come where the cost to entry is made accessible :D

Love this game and I’m playing it way too much. Only one small gripe I have is that the barrier grid around the car is a little too restricting and you can easily set it off and black out your screen for a second by moving your head around a little too much. Sometimes just turning around to look at the back seat of the car triggers it. I hope they eventually patch this and make it so you can lean way outside your car window if you want to.

[@ForexTrainingCamp]

I’ve discovered that if you set your play area to “Stand and move around” this fixes the problem. It will ask you to edit area, select play without editing, then the game will set a temporary area which allows for more movement without screen blacking out. Also helps to be in a brightly lit room.

What's interesting is, design-wise, it's the same experience as VR in GT Sport we've been playing for years (except for the VR replay mode), even including the same missing in-race data. It's an upgraded experience for sure, and both are brilliant, I'm just baffled by the design and data being inherently identical. It mattered less in GT Sport by nature, but it's an inescapable outlier in GT7 for online racing and racing leagues; our league still requires at least one person in chat to be outside of VR in order to collect the data for the points structure.

The sad part is there are some sim racers who don't play it in VR simply because they're refusing to adapt to it even though they know its better. With the massively improved depth perception VR gives you, your consistency as a racer is improved and your ability to judge corners is hugely improved BUT, if you're used to the highest levels of racing on a flat screen, there are some things that make it a little different. The thing is on flat screen, when you're going around a track, the drivers eyes are typically in the exact same position each lap which can make braking spots easier to line up and nail every lap. There's such a consistency of point of view that even though your actual view and perception of a corner is so much worse, these guys have already adapted and have spent thousands of hours honing that skill Racing in VR is slightly different enough that it will take them time to get just as comfortable with it (it took some time for me too, but I was faster very quickly) and I've seen a number of people give up so quickly because they can't bare to spend a week not performing as good as usual in online races I don't understand that. People who get a wheel go through the same process but don't give up because it's blatantly better. IMO VR is an even bigger improvement than that, and yet people aren't as willing. Probably because the rest of the time playing other games or watching stuff they're looking at their TV's, not sitting their with a headset on But objectively, PSVR2 makes GT7 and any racing sim a million times better on every level and it's sad to me that some players take the game so seriously that they refuse to spend any time to adapt to it even though they'll admit it's better Though these are almost all the same people who use totally unrealistic camera views like hood camera or bumper camera (let alone chase cam LMFAO) that are the most advantageous instead of the only view that has any semblance of realism (cockpit view) so immersion has never really been at the forefront for them . The visibility the driver has in certain types of cars is a huge factor in racing so I always found it weird that a supposed "sim" would let people use camera views that completely remove the difference of visibility in each car. It takes away a part of the fun of driving certain cars like the McLaren F1 which although are built like a typical supercar but have amazing visibility. Also go karts where basically none of your views is obstructed, plus the opposite with LMP prototypes where you have the least amount of visibility So especially if you like to use cockpit view in racing game, VR is mind blowing and it also removes its disadvantages because even though some of the screen is taken up by the cockpit, the depth perception and peripheral vision gained in VR alleviates that almost completely PSVR2 takes GT7 from just the best GT game to the best racing game of all time.

OMG... we have so much similarities... love the audi TT, drive one as well, mk2 3.2L and funny that i'm not a racing gamer myself as a matter of fact GT7 came bundled with my 1st ps5 package... didn't play it for months until i got a psvr2 and heard how good it is... down the rabbit hole i went from Hori RWA, to g923 with shifter and NLR stand lite, to TGT2 with sparco mod brake and th8a shifter with tlcm pedals to H8 rumble and Xrocker seat... now i'm into sim so much it's all i game...

[@Yewbzee]

I'm an Xboxer but Im seriously considering buying a PS5 and PSVR2 for this, it looks awesome. Why Microsoft is not entering this market is baffling.

[@kraenk12]

They’re all Games as a Service now.

[@Atzboy]

All my live xboxer, I still have the series x but I moved to PS5 and GT7, I am very dissapointed about new Forza Motorsport. Polyphony made this game with love, you can feel that.

[@mccloskey2112]

You know DAMN WELL the steering wheel of your personal car is on the WRONG side!

[@Blamkrotch]

Man, I’ve been subscribed for years but your videos are just getting better. It’s like you have a writer and shit. Great job.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Thanks so much mate! []-)

[@marcdonald2673]

I’ve gotta say I wasn’t prepared for how much better it is with the steering wheel WOW what a difference then when I added the VR2 it changed my life, once you have played it like this you just can’t go back, it really did affect my track times for the better of GT is your game then invest in the rest and play it how it was meant to be played

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

I know right. It’s still one of my fav VR experiences and I play as often as I can. Enjoy mate []-)

[@JoseGonzalez-t8q]

Love it in VR with a quality wheel and seat set up. Driving a 996 Turbo S & e46M3

[@jayireland561]

The intro when you described '98 was all me too. GT was life then. The hype has already gotten ahold of me now. Just got the NLR GT Elite cockpit(in the process of building it right now) and ordered a Logitech Pro Wheel and Pedals. Haven't gotten the PS5 or VR2 yet but it won't be long.

[@ForexTrainingCamp]

Totally agree that PS5+PSVR2+GT7 = AWESOME!!! I’ve never played any of the previous Gran Turismo games, so I’m new to the franchise. All I can say is if I have free time I’m playing GT7…totally addicted lol.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Same! I still play almost everyday! It’s so good []-)

[@Kazuya720]

3:20 Ah NO... the steering wheel is NOT on the wrong side, as basically the whole world drives on the right lane, with steering wheel on the left, so.. your steering wheel is on the wrong side!

[@2FastG]

I know it’s virtual but wiping the GT disc on the shirt killed me ☠️

[@delasse3178]

i had a mk1 tt as well, 225, may get another in the future. extremely underrated car. they need to add more older cars in this game, it's so corporate!!!

[@blaket81]

I can attest to this. I've never been a fan of racing games. I was always into vehicular combat games like Twisted Metal but just straight racing has always been boring to me. Plus I've always sucked at them. Even when I did like a racing game it was the arcade types, not the simulator types like GT. GT7 in VR with a wheel though is just plain awesome! I just have a G923 and pedals with no seat, frame or stand. So my setup is no where near as good as Mike's and I'm still having a blast.

[@Christofftheman]

The steering wheel being on the “wrong side” is an interesting opinion, given that Audi are German 🤔

[@ScottMoyse]

I've just got a Logitech G923 and the PSVR2... it blew my mind... then blew it even more when I got into the 2014 Polo Gti... I now have a 2020 Polo Gti, but previously had the 2014 model... it's incredible how well they have recreated the interior and feeling of actually driving the car. My only grip with PSVR2 is that other developers aren't supporting it... it truly SUCKS that WRC 23 won't support it and that F1 23 doesn't either. Hopefully we get more games in time. Fingers crossed.

[@DavideDavini]

My fave car is the Skyline R34. Upgraded and setup by yours truly. As for what I drive, my Grinch ain’t in GT7. Which is disgraceful. It’s a Fiesta ST.

[@kontrolfrkgaming3920]

vr is weird (but awesome) when i switched i was 2 seconds slower everything feels like its coming at you fast, and can be very overwhelming. but after about a week youll get really used to it and you can really tell when the cars about to lose grip and braking points are way easier to push. the feeling of speed is really cool in vr

[@VREmirate]

Great intro and video, hope it goes viral

[@kevint1719]

I totally agree about plug and play. I've had a PC VR headset and unless you are the sort of person who enjoys fiddling with settings, it is an absolute pain in the arse. On the other hand I've also had a Quest 2 and while I appreciate the simplicity, it is obviously very limited. The PSVR 2 is like a breath of fresh air. It's easy to use and it is as powerful as all most PC rigs and headsets. Gran Turismo 7 is hands down the best VR game I have ever played. I just hope Sony and other developers support the headset because the potential is huge. You should theoretically be able to convert just about any game to VR and the PSVR 2 could handle it. I'd personally love to have GTA V.

[@zwenkwiel816]

most games on PCVR I just launch like any other though. like I click on the icon on my desktop or launch trough steam and put on my headset. bit more complicated with virtual desktop or airlink cuz you have to turn on the headset first but it takes like 5 seconds. only real "hard" part is modding but that's usually no more complicated than dragging a few files around... like what exactly is the pain in the arse part?

[@ericchang3531]

100 percent my thoughts, this is the best VR game for playstation maybe across other platforms too.

[@Black11Fenix]

Cheers! I bought PSVR2 yesterday, late night. Have to work today so i went to bed for a sleep. I am very excited to the day of work ends and go right home to try VR2. GT7 takes me more then 180h of play without VR...now i will try it with VR and i supose i know what is the result :D More 180h of play :D for sure! Stay cool and thanks for the video, i related since the first seconds :) Even the Supra!

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Have fun mate! Just be sure to take it easy at first as playing in VR can be intense! Take plenty of breaks if you need them. Enjoy! []-)

[@Black11Fenix]

@@VirtualRealityOasis thanks for the advise!✌🏻 i am a huge fan since first VR😁i have many hours of RE7 and GT Sports. I am a lucky bastard with 0 motion sickness🙏🏻 but yes i still do breaks for a cigar or eat some snack!👌🏻

[@PhinneusPrune]

You are incorrect. The steering wheel on the Audi in VR is on the correct side of the car. Last I checked, in Germany. The Steering wheel is on the left and they drive on the right side of the road. So understand that in the UK. You are driving a heavily modified version of that car.

[@ReginaldStaples]

I'm a PC racing sim nerd and this looks very tempting (don't own a console). The collective experience is how these should be judged and clearly this is a winner. It should be mentioned the Fanatec wheel you have also works on PC. Another GREAT video! Happy racing all.

[@Nick1253]

just get a quest 2, they are 300 and all in one vr

[@wattouk]

Loving GT7. But my leccy Kia isn't in the game, sadly.

[@danieltissington4429]

Mike your a VR legend! I too loved the first GT, I could never get over sifting through all the cars in the second hand market as young teen! I too like your TT, even if it’s classed as a hairdressers car! Don’t tell anyone but I owned a MGF for a bit and loved it! Until the water pump went.😂

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Haha cheers mate []-)

[@andresinchausti3841]

ohh castrol supra what memories, also my favorite car in GT1, at that time I didn't even know what a memory card was, I played a whole day in a row to buy the castrol supra [R], and then play a race on the oval giant circuit, and that some tuned and drag cars made me bite the dust - I couldn't believe it, I remember very well the excitement of buying the supra after all day playing, it felt like driving a spaceship, it was an indescribable sensation and then that they beat me that way.... wow what fantastic memories

[@davidvega1978]

GT has the steering wheel on the correct side of the TT.

[@mikhailgregovszki7478]

VR is just so perfect for sitting down sims... racing, flying, mastur... no nevermind that last one. Seriously though this is awesome. I wish GT7 would be on PC since I already have a good setup and am invested in VR there.

[@albinkhan]

Foviated Display is just amazing, we can clearly see where he is looking at the moment.😃

[@aznpanda510x]

Not a racing guy at all but the most joy I have in a video game so far is DIRT road in VR is so freaking fun!

[@KraMelius.]

Man the way the VR opened the game was awesome. Brings back memories.

[@aznpanda510x]

I’m always impressed with people driving in VR because I’m like “ dang, This dude driving skill is pretty good.”

[@HTXatLarge]

I definitely had glow in the dark stars on my ceiling in 1998 playing GT & MGS 😎

[@x3ko777]

Wife bought me an xbox for xmas, wasnt much of a gamer, but fell in love with racing games so much i went and got a little simrig setup. Currently eagerly waiting fm8. But now gt7 vr has me salivating. I only enjoy racing games and nothing else (maybe some beat sabre vr on quest2) so who thinks its totally worth it to switch to ps5 + psvr2 + gt7?

[@Night-Tid3]

>worth it to switch to ps5 + psvr2 + gt7? Absolutely, worth it for GT7 alone if you have the money for it. Idk about Forza 8 but no flat screen game can't replicate a VR experience.

[@rudybertazzo]

I tried PCVR simracing (Assetto Corsa, iRacing, Automobilista 2 )with high-end PC (RTX 3090) and HTC Vive Pro 2, and I must say: GT7 on PSVR2 is actually better.

[@KBL1974]

You can change your car in a multiplayer lobby. Just quit and you'll be returned to the pre race screen where i says change car. When you change and go to race you'll re-emerge from the pit lane. Your session is still active and your friends won't have been booted. My friend and I changed cars to show off to each other 10-15 times seamlessly.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Ahhhhh Thanks for the tip mate! []-)

"The steering wheel is on the wrong side" wrong, it's on the freedom side 🇺🇸

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

I agree, this game is pretty much all i play on ps5 and it’s mind blowing in vr. It’s awesome for non-gamers too! I managed to sit my mom down and set her up with a time trial in one of her favorite cars. It’s so cool watching people experience it for the very first time! Sony did such a good job with this game from top to bottom, even without the PSVR2. I loved getting a very similar focus ST in the game that i own in reality, they did fantastic on all the small details and it’s really a trip driving a virtual version of your car lol. Still can’t wait for the new Forza motorsport though! Only a few days left!

[@vvoof2601]

Also the VR is 3D! I honestly didn't know that, and it surprised the shit out of me in the best way!

Start saving and you can try it out as much as you like later on!😉

[@chaosordeal294]

I'm sure you misspoke. Clearly the steering wheel in the virtual car is on the correct side, and your real life steering wheel is some kind of factory error.
