Hey guys. It’s been a while. In the last 5 months or so I became a GT7 addict, thanks to the VR2 and making my DD wheel and pedals PS5 compatible. 3 weeks ago I bought a PS5 Pro without any expectations for VR. And to my surprise, it was worth it to me. Even on a screen, the ray tracing (not available in VR) really adds something to the game. When I first saw the ps5 pro gt7 announcement I thought what a cra.p. But it really is cool to see your own cars reflected on the other cars.
I am a PC VR Sim Racer since the first oculus came out as a dev kit. That must be almost 10 years. My current PC headset is a Reverb G2. Using super sampling at 150% for most games like iRacing, assetto Corsa, ams2 etc. I was used to a crystal clear image.
The first time I got my VR2 5 months ago I was so disappointed about how blurry and bad GT7 looks in VR. But the fun won and I got used to it. Now when I switch between PC and GT7, I don’t notice the difference that much. I switched to GT7 because of the lack of single player content in PC Sims.
I’ve purchased a Simagic DS-8x H pattern shifter last week. And it added so much more immersion to the game. Love this game so much in VR. Especially old cars with a H shifter.
Two days ago I discovered the custom races you can create. That adds so many endless possibilities.
What’s the point of this post? Just wanted to share how amazing GT7 in VR is. Often times it feels so realistic. 10 years into VR racing and it still amazes me every time I put on a headset. Can’t do a single proper lap on a flat screen lol
