GT7 & PSVR2

[roytheboy]

Man as a guy needing reading glasses now this is all worrying me I've spent 350 on something I'm not going to enjoy (going fast at the sharp end-ish)

In VR, everything has a fixed focus of about ten feet, I think it is, so if you don’t need glasses to see something ten foot away irl, you won’t need lens inserts in your PSVR2. What this also means, however, is that it’ll take your brain a few weeks of training before it stops trying to unnecessarily refocus your eyes every time you look at your virtual dashboard. Thus part of the reason that things start to look clearer (with less headaches) after a few weeks of use, is simply because your brain stops un-focussing your view of the fixed-focus VR world in front of you.

I got the Pro last Friday and here are my impressions for GT7 in VR:

The new reprojection method is amazing and basically erases 99% of the ghosting caused by reprojection. It literally feels like I'm playing iRacing on my Valve Index at 120Hz. Other cars and track-side objects seem more real and physical as a result of this. The resolution and lighting (and even color saturation) seem to also have been somewhat improved. I've previously had noticeable performance problems on the base PS5 with a full field of cars on tracks at night and in the rain, so I raced a Mazda 787B on Le Man's at midnight in torrential rain. Not 1 stutter. Consider me gobsmacked.

Fascinating...

With the daily race at High Speed Ring, which I am having fun in. Does anyone notice the first corner seems either low frame rate jerky or the barriers to the outside do something weird? Could be an optical illusion I am seeing. This is in qualifying practice on my own, too busy to notice in race.
Oh and I am doing well in the Hyundai Gr1. no HUD, it has some of its own lap and position HUD that stays on anyway. I think it does well as it doesnt crash and very easy to drive. So many others have accidents.

Yes. It also happens with the Honda and slightly with the MP4/4.

I'm thinking that such artifacts will be 'fixed' by PD down the track?

I'm not quite sure what to make of the new "reprojection" feature.

It does not appear to make any impact on captured footage (it's off in that video above), but it makes VR feel more comfortable to use to me. The colors feel a bit brighter, the image looks a bit more natural, and it feels like there is more depth to what I'm looking at. The added artifacts, however, are quite pronounced.

Do you think the new artifacts might be an issue that PD can fix in new patches?

Played the game last night on VR and the improvement for me was massive, Quite amazed at the negative comments on here.

It is crystal clear now when passing cars, like night and day difference. The sweet spot seems larger. The Hud is far far clearer. The LOD models are much better, Ive not played the game in about 6 months but my main gripe was with the LOD pop in models was awful before but brilliant now with barely any pop in at all.

All in all im well happy i sold my PS5 for a Pro as the difference for me is large enough!

So, what settings do you have on? Reprojection repositioning, and framerate, I'm assuming? I just bought the Pro today.

What I experienced yesterday was a first and probably due to loading the PS5P.

Price drop here as well. It’s $549 down from $880.

Believe it or not, I got one at this price, despite already having a VR2, lol. As insurance in case anything happens with my headset - I did have to return it initially, after scratching the lenses from wearing glasses, d'oh), and also as perhaps to sell my old one to a couple of mates who are sitting on the fence.
