At the Sony advertisemant for pCars2 you can see PSVR compatiblty Logo. But still not 100% confirmed by Ian.
Project Scorpio had VR on the headline when it was announced. Currently VR is not confirmed by Microsoft.
So SMS also cannot confirm VR for XBOX. Maybe we get updated bei MS at E3.

I can only hope the PS4.0 and standard XB1 versions aren't horrifically gimped performance wise.

Yep. Probably will be gimped with less visual quality and a lower performance.

PS4 std market share is way bigger. PS4 pro version will look off course better but the standard version will be Just fine and optimized for PS4 standard performances.

To clear any doubts, we will push all platforms to the max that the console-makers will allow us and to maintain 60fps while driving. We will not leave any computing power idle, except when you are in the menus we slow down the graphics intentionally to 30fps to preserve your machine's life. Don't really need 60 fps menus. I remember some players asking "why are my ps4 fans running so high?" when they first tried pCars1 because the game hit the systems so hard. We want everyone to have a great graphical experience.

Basically you'll need one of these

to go with one of these

 

[drivatar]

60fps replays, please.

 

[diesel97]

60fps replays, please.

not going to happen, dev choice so they can have more details

 

[drivatar]

PS4 Pro should be able to do it @1080p.

 

[Satco1066]

as you say. "Should".
Devs decissions are not made by "should", are made by "is" or "is not"

Can you please elaborate on the bolded? I'd have thought 60fps menus wouldn't have stressed the hardware much at all, and personally I do not like 30fps menus. They look and feel sluggish in a 60fps game and can be quite jarring.

Do you have examples of what games that had this setup that you didn't like? Just so people have something to compare it to

Well in Horizon they have the opposite setup with 30fps gameplay and 60fps menus. Looks good for the map screen. TBH can't see how scrolling through sliders would look bad at 30 in pCARS2's menus.

Regretfully, I suspect all the new games (PC2 and GTS) will be slotted for the PS Pro. PS4 gamers will be left holding the messy end of the stick. Assetto Corsa players may have to wait for PS5 to see Corsa 2.0 on console. Where it will release along side GT7 in mid 2019. PC users will have the full Monty and no real worries pertaining to PC2 and AC2.
As usual.

Horizon is fully optimized for the Pro, yet it also looks spectacular on PS4 vanilla at 1080p. I doubt games here on out will look worse on vanilla machines just because the Pro is available.

Same goes for Gravity Rush 2 (but not The Last Guardian ... Which isn't smooth on either the 2 consoles).
In the end, this is the developer's choice if they make a worse game (framerate-wise) on standard PS4 (or like some like to call it now: PS4 Amateur ;p), and that's the consumer's right not buying the game, if they want to penalized that choice.

GT7 mid 2019? Let's first see if GTS can make it before mid 2019.
