GT7 & PSVR2

[Hurball]

My 2 cents on this - if GT7 didn’t have VR I wouldn’t have bought a PS5 and GT7

To me VR is game changing. I don’t know if it’s faster than triple monitors but I don’t care - it’s more fun and it’s the first gaming experience I’ve had for years that has blown me away

If Sony moves away from VR and future GT titles no longer support it (which I doubt) I won’t buy those GT’s - basically I won’t go back to flat screen racing games

I started playing GT on controllers, because that's how I was playing car games since forever...

When I got my first steering wheel, I didn't see the need to continue playing with the controller, unless I had no other options .... Or if I play Mario Kart....

Been enjoying GT on a screen since forever, and upgrading to a few over the years, cathode, LCD, 1080p, plasma, 4K, 75inch, LED, OLED next ?

But a total game changer is VR...

I can always go back playing on a screen, but now that I have PSVR2, I really don't see the need to go back to 2D flat no matter how smart the screen is....

Video Game racing is meant to be with VR and a rig....

It may sound elitist, but there is just no going back...
Once you have tried it, it would be hard to go back...

The immersion will get you..

I'm the same every game since I was about 9/10 was controller only and we are talking NES era

When I got more in to racing skip a decade or two

(I'd been using a wheel on a PC earlier than this by about 10 years, GTR2) but once you are playing a driving game with a wheel it's game changing.

Roll on a little more

But that isn't enough once the bug bites, you're invested at this point!

The G25, G27, G29 and the TGT2 have new homes hopefully enjoying them as much as I did.

And now VR, I regret so badly not getting it sooner and I mean that with a very heavy heart, but it's mixed I got fast (well faster on flat) but VR has really brought both my skills on but also my awe. The game was definitely designed to play this way. The cars handle better, throttle/breaking better and that might be a mind trick or genuinely how it feels.

If I was desperate the DD would go on the ironing board again, but I have done 3 laps in flat in nearly 2 months because I just can't drive a virtual car like that anymore.

It's not eliteism it's more about what makes the most sense for the game. Is it cost prohibitive, yes and for most people I can understand that I feel it to, but as my only hobby is racing and this is cheaper/safer I could save/justify the investment.

I am an addict and my name is Glen....racing is VR is all I can do!

Are any of you able to use the PSVR2 without a connected tvscreen/monitor yet.
I always imagined a compact setup without a screen. It's still needed tot connect somekind of screen to make the PSVR2 work right?

Gonna try booting it up without a screen attached. Normally it gave me the connect a screen prompt.

This is me. I play GT7 in the basement (make all the jokes) without a TV or Monitor attached to the PS5. The room is lit (again, jokes I'm sure) to full brightness.

I have absolutely zero issues.

I moved my PS5 from the living room upstairs where it was initially attached to a large TV. I was pretty much plug-n-play as I recall.

1) Boot up the PS5.
2) Boot up my PS Elite headset.
3) Grab a stick of gum #ThankYouGTPlanet!
4) Turn on the PSVR2.

The delay does help. After I boot up the headset I get the normal "make sure you have your controller" and off I go.

Hope this helps.

Well Glen, I hate to break it to you but once you go Pro you really know.
It's already a different VR game as is but with further optimizations, ohw yeah...
Let's see what this weeks update brings in terms of VR.

I would not advice having any hope on the matter.
