Gran Turismo 7 VR Is Incredible

We played an hour of Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR2 and were amazed by how it elevates an already great game. We tell you about it in this conversation video between IGN's Max Scoville and Ryan McCaffrey.

@@nonentity2574 It should be worth it since the PS5 and the PS VR2 is future proofed to last throughout this whole decade before it will start to show it's age. Most likely it will be supported into 2030 before it will be replaced by a potential PS VR3 on the PS6. The PS VR2 is far ahead of times in terms of price point, technology and software. You won't see such a high budget racing game as GT7 on PC VR for instance since the Triple A VR market on PC simply isn't large enough for any investors to earn their money back

I'm very happy to see a positive video on PS VR2 from IGN. Happy to subscribe again.

[@kayokayo7917]

Sony needs to focus on bringing as many hybrid games (or "hybridize" them) like this to VR. Indies are great but pretty much everyone's favorite VR games are those big AAA projects made for flat screens and adapted to VR. Those are whats going to sell headsets and they're the cheapest most efficient way to get games on the platform. GT7 and Village are the most anticipated games coming to PSVR2. They will likely be among the most played games too, just like Skyrim and Borderlands 2 we're on the first one.

[@magicolmos]

Dead Space remake in VR would be amazing

Not all games can easily be converted to VR tho. Games like GT7 is a no brainer but other games would need alot of changes.

Racing in VR is so different - like the track far in front of you isn’t just “small” - it really feels “far away” - because of the way the 2 different screens in each eye trick your brains depth perception.
