GT7 on PS5 PRO: FULL REVIEW + PSVR2 Testing

[@user-fb5bt6jd7v]

Pro was worth it. I cannot go back to playing on a standard PS5.

[@newbielives]

This makes me wish we had a car traffic mode in GT7, especially in the City tracks

[@mrjohnnyk]

I feel like track day challenges would be amazing, like trying to do a time trial with a bunch of random cars on the track, or with them having some light traffic in Tokyo

[@MartinSchmuckVR]

For me the visual upgrade in GT7 for PSVR2 alone was worth getting the PS5 Pro.

[@Particle67]

Yep. To me hardcore GT7 PSVR2 users need to go for the pro version. Night and Day

[@Mcfigg]

[@Bruceman17]

@@Particle67 WOW I had know idea! I cannot play the game without the psvr2 with all its flaws its hands down the best way to experience the game. Ordering a PS5 Pro STAT!!! lol

[@neilhogg3297]

Ive been playing since gt7 got support and with the pro is clearly better in headset and the option to remove blur is much better

[@Particle67]

Agreed. Same Boat. I tried yesterday Le mans with the Porsche Gr1 under heavy rain. The rain is now so realistic in VR.

[@Particle67]

Because i'm VR user and spending lot of time everyday on GT7. I bought the pro version of the PS5. No regret at all. As Said in that video i'll never go back to the standard version. With the pro the gameplay is so comfortable, the global quality is better. Less retroprojection is better experience. I'm like a kid and want to try every track now. I've also noticed the enhancement of the rain. Take a Gr1 on Le Mans, grab a R08 Heavy Rain and enjoy. This look now awesome and realistic. On the standard PS5 the rain effect is poor and garbage compared to the new rain. Differences are subtiles on KZbin videos. If you have the money and want better immersive sensations Grab the Ps5 pro.

[@Zocker2022]

Thx for this Video, I buy me today only for GT7 and PSVR2 the Pro Version. With Settings you prefer in GT7 with PSVR? With or without Raytracing?

[@ndi5670]

What I do mot appreciate is the fact that I purchased my ps 5 and psvr2 about 4 months ago because I had no idea a “Pro” model was coming out. I was told by the “experts” at Best Buy that it would be at least 2027 before any new models come out. Any updates for the psvr2 should have been brought to the ps 5 also.

[@walshja81]

I had zero intention of buying a pro. I told myself that if they could eliminate all or at least most of the ghosting then Id buy one. After Sony dropped the Pro with no mention of VR support and PD not making a noise about VR support I decided to accept the blur until PS6 and thats hoping VR is still supported. After seeing these reviews I just bit the bullet because its worth it for the extra immersion

[@neilhogg3297]

great review, thanks guys ✌️

[@lukenukem85]

Does quality mode or performance mode make a difference in psvr2 with the new reprojection setting?

[@emilybaxterthecartoonywitc1805]

If you're sensitive to reprojection then absolutely it makes a difference. Ray tracing isn't in the vr gameplay, but the ghosting is practically gone now

[@matthorn2198]

The second the pro was announced i knew i was trading my launch ps5 for it , had to put 250 out of pocket but man what a difference in vr2 the pro is just better everything looks/plays better

[@mrjohnnyk]

Very underwhelmed by PS5 vs PS5 Pro footage. PS4 vs PS5 GT7 footage was literally the entire reason I bought a PS5 in the first place, definitely notable, but the difference between the PS5 and Pro just looks so minor I would struggle to notice any difference. The ray tracing seems kind of cool for interior lighting effects, but that's about it, not something that will motivate me to buy a Pro.

[@rwest1966]

Key word footage. You can't see the difference unless you have a 4k 120hz vrr almm tv. It's actually a noticeable improvement

[@davidcupra4913]

It’s way better. And not just interior lighting. It’s so good. 😊

[@BleedForTheWorld]

@@davidcupra4913 tree and smoke artifacts in abundance. The RT while looking at cars in galleries is a mess. The whole thing is a scam.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

@@rwest1966 yeah keyword footage, that's why the proper upgrade was PS4 vs PS5, not this latest scam by Sony. I'm a fanboy and I really wanted it to be good but you gotta call it what it is.

[@rwest1966]

@BleedForTheWorld it is entirely dependent on your monitor and the reviewer probably has a crap one. I play in 120 fidelity mode, I don't care about Ray traced interiors since I don't drive from that view. Look at digital foundrys review.

[@xxczerxx]

I would buy a PS5 Pro for GT7 in PSVR2 (which is hilarious, because I literally bought the PSVR 2 for GT7 alone)..... BUT Polyphony needs to put the cart before the horse and start taking the Daily Races configuration seriously. I mean, good god -- they have such an amazing 'platform' to work with in GT7, and for most regular players at this stage, the Daily Races is the main thing the game has to offer.... personally, it's the only thing I really use on GT7 because I just want to race online in a streamlined manner. Duh. Yet PD put zero interest in even making what's there interesting or varied (night time, dynamic weather, cool cars config races) , let alone overhauling the thing which is long, long overdue. It beggars belief.

[@Evilkingus]

What they really need is giving us the ability to play multiplayer with bots, so I can do private matches with friends, having an AI grid, so we don't have to play with randoms, wait in lobbies etc- THAT is what is needed.

[@davidtsmith33]

Very informative.

[@eSKAone-]

My Thrustmaster T300 + Wheel Stand Pro V2 + IKEA Poäng are very happy with this.🌌💟 Already got slap-on subscribtion lenses at an VR Optician so I don't have to wear glasses or contacts. Amazing times we live in!

[@lukek1000]

I have ps4 pro now and this video has convinced me to buy ps5 pro. I'd been waiting for the pro since last year but once it came out I wasn't convinced due to the price and lack of physical drive. Hower, I plan to buy ps vr2 as well, mostly for gt7. So, it's a no brainer now. Thanks!

[@emilybaxterthecartoonywitc1805]

If it's your first ps5 and you're getting psvr2, then yes, it's absolutely worth it. It's hard to explain the difference between Gt7 on the base ps5 and the pro, but there's definitely a difference. Coming from the ps4 pro like you are, then you're in for a treat. Also, Sony is working on bringing pssr to psvr2, so it will only get better. Hopefully when they do bring pssr into the headset, then it will free up some of the rendering to bring ray tracing into the vr gameplay. But let's be honest, when you're in the heat of a race, you don't have time to actually slow down to admire it

[@njevansYT]

While any improvements are welcome, I wouldn't call having a bit more of a lit interior as "nothing short of remarkable" differences.

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Appreciate this honest review !

[@gulewamkulu87]

Wait a minute, so the draw distance hasn’t really improved!? Look at the Focus ST interior disappear at around the 6:00 minute mark

[@eSKAone-]

Very nice comparison. Best is 3rd person no PSSR. Very best of course is the new PSVR2 experience.

[@emilybaxterthecartoonywitc1805]

I wasn't intending on buying the pro, but my cat had other ideas when it crashed my ps5 off of my dresser in the bedroom. I figure if I had to spend 100+ dollars to fix the hdmi port, then I may as well get the pro. I still have a base ps5 in the living room. If you play strictly on a flat screen and don't have a 120hrz capable tv, then just stick to the base ps5. Both my tvs are 65" LG C2 oleds and have vrr, and there definitely is a difference. Anyone saying it doesn't are flat out lying or just haven't bought one and are throwing shade out of envy. Also, with vr2, the ghosting that some notice is mainly eliminated with the new reprojection system and it will get even better when Sony brings pssr into the headset. If you're an advid GT7 player in vr, is it worth the upgrade? Hell yes. Is it absolutely necessary? No. These are consols folks and are for entertainment. Food, water, and air are necessary. I'm retired, don't have a lot of bills, so I have the disposable money to throw at my entertainment. If you don't, that's cool because many dont. Especially in this economic climate. But don't shit on something because you don't

6:06 is that framerate real or is it just my eyes playing tricks? No way it runs WORSE on Pro lol holy smokes dude.

[@sdilizio]

Yep. Can't believe more people haven't noticed. Pro framerate has issues, perhaps due to whatever the devs have chosen to do to get that absolutely minor fidelity increase.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

@@sdilizio yeah it's the ray tracing which is really expensive even on the most modern hardware. Remember my words here because we're going to be seeing more of this when PS6 arrives. Still, everything else should be better if they improve CPU and GPU power because like the guy in the video said, there's no free lunch and the best thing to do is to improve these two components for a true generational leap in graphics and performance.

[@Channel567-7]

If you had the financial choice of PS5 plus PSVR2, or just PS5 pro, I wwould pick first option. Currently, you can buy the basic PS5 plus VR headset for price of Pro, how mad is that? PSVR 2 is awesome in this game.

[@supergooglelee]

The coping of non-pro users is real. Night and day difference on my 83” OLED. Have fun saying no difference after watching 1080p on a phone.

[@Robbe1984]

If you are racing competitively you'll always want higher framerate.

[@IceKoldKilla]

Wait, that first comparison of PS5 Pro (PSSR off) vs PS5 is bad! It looks kinda like 30fps on Pro while PS5 is 60fps. Wtf? Am I tripping?

[@mrjohnnyk]

Yeah I noticed that as well. PS5 footage looks smoother than the Pro footage.

[@neomaxmlc]

Bad captures. Its a rock solid 60fps on Pro.

[@mubblemann]

Anybody who bought a Pro is no doubt secretly feeling robbed right now. They'll try hard to justify it to themselves in the comments but the reality is, they just got robbed.

[@KaanArli]

Thanks for the video! I have a question and a comment Question: Which capture card did you use for these footage and are these lossless captures? Comment: I got PS5, PS5 Pro and PSVR2 and Xbox Series X. I can tell, PS5 Pro experience is a lot better in real life and to naked eyes. The PSSR part still needs serious improvements tho. Not only at GT7 but also some other games are suffering from PSSR. I have 4K - 144 Hz TV so I have maximized the potential of PS5 Pro and I can clearly tell PS5 Pro has improvements. The question is, is it worth having it now? To me, since I am making videos on YT and a hardcore PS fan, it was inevitable not to buy it. For guys who have doubts about buying or switching to PS5 Pro, a 4K - 120 Hz screen is a must. Otherwise, what you can see is only a smooth-ish 4K - 60 FPS experience.
