GT7 & PSVR2

[GBO Possum]

So forgive me, I'm late to the PSVR2 party, though a veteran of the original PSVR.

I'm still accidentally discovering things...

Was sitting inside my Alpine beside the Cafe, looking out a side window and long-pressed the wrong button to take a screen shot. Chose the Options button by mistake.

Suddenly it became possible to look to the rear without life-threatening contortions. (Small things give me great joy.)

As Nebuc pointed out to me it sets your position relative to the direction it thinks you are facing and the option hold recalibrates this. (this also applies to horizontal and vertical depth) I often have to hold Option at the beginning of a race to get the proportions visually correct but you can do cool stuff with it like you've found out

I was today days old when I learned about this.

(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!
