Incredible!
Also new screenshot
I see big downgrade, but I can live with it as a trade off for a fuil game playable in vr

It'll be less noticeable in VR I think - it looks like what the player is looking towards is in a higher resolution than the things in their peripheral.

The right side edge of the car looks rough, but if they're looking towards the apex in this photo they won't be seeing that much of a drop in quality. These pillars for example are a night and day difference.

Track textures and details will certainly be downgraded though, but I don't think anyone expected otherwise.

Yeah don’t expect the graphics to be as good as playing on a 4k display. But the immersion more than makes up for it. Really excited for this. Finally got a seat for my wheel stand. Always threw me off in iRacing playing in VR while sitting in a dining room chair.

That’s because it uses eye tracking for foveated rendering meaning it only fully renders in where your eyes are looking. So it won’t show across well in screenshots

Ah, I thought as much but didn't want to overexplain something I wasn't actually too sure about. It'll definitely look fine in action then.
 
Weeell…I finally got a solid amount of money from work, call it a bonus, so I finally got myself a PS5. And even though I could afford PSVR2 and want it. I’m not gonna get it. Not yet anyway. The price just isn’t worth it. I’d buy the Quest first if anything. We’ll see, maybe in a year. :P still exciting!
 
Need to test psvr2 then, didn't work for me with the first one...
What was your problem with the first one?

I know $150 is nothing to scoff at. But if you already have a PS5, you are getting a serious downgrade with the Quest 2. The spec difference and most importantly, the software support are well worth the $150. Seeing as the PSVR2 pre-orders are still up, I expect you can find a barely used headset on Ebay or something for about $50-100 off rather quickly.

Well, they called my bluff. Just pre-ordered it now.

AC with my Rift is immersive enough, the graphical quality in GT7 combined with the PSVR2's resolution and such is going to be seriously impressive!

I had already given up hope (for whatever reason) - but this is great news! VR2 is pre ordered.

I've never tried VR before so the first time will be rough for me as I fully expect motion sickness to hit me hard
Little and often, do not try to push through it if you start to feel a bit unwell, that'll set you back further.

It doesn't take too long, some things are harder than others, for example even after several weeks I'd still find rolling backwards and pressing the brakes to stop, I'd get a weird "huh" sensation in my head as I was expecting to feel the jolt but didn't, eventually it all just goes away as you get your VR legs :)
 
GRAN turismo 7 will be FULL game in PSVR2!!!!!! the only thing that won't be is split screen, but of course that's a given as, well, you need to both be playing on the TV to play split screen..... on-line races, sport mode, single player, etc, will be FULLY PLAYABLE in psvr2, from launch day.....

So...to all those that said I didn't know what I was taking about...that I was wrong, that I didn't have a clue what it would take to do so........SUCK IT!!!! I TOLD you lol...

Joking lol....anyhow, what's everyone think???? Can people not wait??? Or can people not wait??? 😂😂😊😊👌👌👌
 
Silly question, I'm sure, but will the controllers be utilized at all if we have a wheel?

Conversely, will the controllers be an option to use as sort of a 'motion wheel' for those that don't own one?

I've (obviously) never tried a racing game in VR, and only owned the original Oculus Rift Development Kit from 2013. I am in for quite the upgrade from the screen door effect and low resolution from back then!

The motion wheel is already implemented very well in GT7 with the dualsense. It will probably be there in the VR version too but we don't have the details yet.

To be honest, I completely forgot that you can do it with the dualsense....I'll have to give it a go and see what its like...just for sake of it....

And yeah, if it's a feature of the dualsense, then it's possible they might bring it over to the new controllers too.....it would be really cool if you can use one hand to grab the shifter and change gear, or grab the paddle behind the wheel to change gear....it would be possible...

Anyhow...yeah, as I said, I don't know that far yet...if I hear anymore, I'll make sure to let you know 😊👌
