To me - and I know this is gonna be annoying to some of you - GT7 is a VR game.

It finally all made sense when I put the headset on.

Before it was "just" GT Sport 1.5 to me.

VR makes GT7 my favorite GT of all time.

VR does NOT make all the legitimate complaints go away, but it does somehow change the perspective a bit.

Hope everyone gets to experience GT7 in VR at some point.

I'm a veteran GT player (since Jan/98 playing my Japanese copy of GT). I felt some old vibes in the GT7. But I don't care much about the online part of the game. On the other hand, I want to play GT7 in VR, due to the immersion it should provide. But now, there are almost no new offline races to play, and custom races are too expensive due to the in-game economy, and I don't want to grind. So while I want to play GT in VR, maybe it's a missed opportunity...

I think someone must feel the same way I do, so PD could breathe new life into the game by releasing a Spec-II DLC, addressing some of the issues, to give us interest in playing the game again (I know, just wishful thinking). We should probably wait (and hope) for GT 8.

Prob the best experience I have ever had with gaming in my 38 years… I wish I was a millionaire because I would buy everyone a PSVR2 on GTP GT7 is just something else… is it perfect… nope but by far the best racing game I’ve played.

@Ramosis I would definitely give online a try… I don’t do the sport races but the league racing on GTP is simply amazing… I just did a 55 lap race in the new Formula cars at Maggiore west… I took 9th and it was still a blast!!

I am not buying GT8 have ever other one released. Maybe pick up 8 when it’s been out for a while.

I've done around 40 races in Sport Races, but I'm more consistent than fast, so I've never been competitive in my ranking (B/S). So it gets boring over time... But maybe I'll check out the GTP racing league, thanks for the tip!

So you’re saying the flaws of GT7 are justified because it supports VR and does it well? That makes no sense, unless you can elaborate.

Kids aren't stupid. If they like something, they will stick with it. Most games today simply fail to make a good enough impression on younger audiences because all developers care about is money...

Honestly I think you're giving modern kids too much credit. You're right that they're not stupid, in fact they've got the opposite problem, they are surrounded by limitless information, instantly accessible anywhere they go. Simply grabbing their attention at all is hard enough but keeping it for any amount of time is virtually impossible without purposefully designing some addictive aspect into the game.

Back when I was playing GT2 and 3 all it took was a good game to create the addiction simply because there wasn't much else to occupy myself with. By the time GT4 came around the internet had matured and suddenly this here forum became the addictive aspect, and we got a taste of blending social media and video games. Nowadays, if it isn't competitive multiplayer then the kids don't want to play it.

For me, all it takes to keep me engaged is a boatload of nostalgia. Rewrap GT2 and make it pretty and you won't see me for months. GT7 has to solve the excellent problem of having to appeal to older naturally loyal audiences with nostaligic tastes and new audiences who aren't loyal fans yet and require completely new ways of engagement to become loyal. This forum has countless examples of how different generations of consumers butt heads and argue about how the game should be designed.

The thing is, the younger people are growing up with a completely different kind of car than we did. Where we had loud, raw-boned mechanical monsters that demanded a driver's full attention, they're growing up with disposable appliances that are designed to insulate the user from the outside world as much as possible. Even modern sports cars have so many electronic nannies in them that you're barely feeling what it's capable of when you drive them anymore.

Jeremy Clarkson has said more than once that car enthusiasts are a dying breed, and unfortunately he's right. But it's not so much a lack of interest as it is the global perspective and demand for what a car is has changed, and you can't just undo all that for the sake of "how it used to be was better".

These are all valid points but I'm not saying that we'll be able to undo what's been done. I wasn't suggesting that for one second. Cars have changed and their role within society is different, however there is still a passion and that really needs to be harnessed now more than ever.

This is very true and not something I considered in my other posts. Keeping the attention of young people in this day and age is very hard with so many forms of entertainment being available.

No? I made the line where I explicitly say that VR does not make the legitimate complaints go away bold.

What more can I do?

You know mate, after quickly (no choice given its "length"!) reading that review I realised I'm in the wrong industry.

Write a few sentences, jump straight to the conclusion, call it a review and get paid maybe?

Now that would be awesome! :gtpflag:
