SWAP is the better version , at 700PP it's a very good car. With stock engine the car is not so good at 600PP, a lot of wheel spin due to power curve and not performant .
One thing that helps me understand the TV vs VR issue with Praiano is that he has 24 years of experience playing Gran Turismo without VR. I too played racing games since the 90s, but not regularly, and not Gran Turismo. I was never very good at using joysticks to steer and never had a wheel. So there were large multiple-year gaps between the times I tried out different racing games. The PSVR2 and motion steering on the controller were a massive game changer for me and the key ingredients to finally see what I have been missing for all these years. Whenever I try to race outside of VR it takes me back to that feeling of amateur-level gameplay. Outside of VR, the only way I drive even halfway decent is to use Chase Cam. I'm hoping Sony doesn't continue on this path of failure with PSVR2, because I can't imagine life any other way but VR Cockpit view.I totally get you on the lack of information in VR. It's my biggest gripe. I haven't really done the online racing thing so I don't know how much of a deal breaker that would be for me.
But, also, I think I'm faster in VR than on flat screen. I feel I can judge things better, and my times definitely improved after I got VR... but maybe that's just getting better in general. I guess I'd have to go back to flat screen and do a comparison, but there would be a big learning curve to re-adjust to the different angles and views in 2D before a valid comparison could be made.
But, I'm like @KipDog, once I got the PSVR2, I never looked back and have been racing only in VR ever since
Hi, thanks for the reply... yes I understand what you are saying about the machine. You're talking about a 550 setup that you have. Would you be kind enough to pass it on to me so I can try to see if it improves at least a little? I am going crazy. He wears out tires in 3 laps and drinks like a sponge.
Okay, y’all gotta stop with this nonsense. To use the ‘Bird anywhere other than the Daytona oval proper (NOT THE ROAD COURSE despite what some weekly challenges would have you believe), is blasphemy.*
I saw a comment where someone said they hoped Motegi would be added to the next update. I Googled it, saw a straight Oval race, and immediately thought "I hope they don't add that." I find oval race tracks and that style of racing quite boring. The only thing that keeps the non-road course version of Daytona from being a snooze fest for me is the awkward viewpoint in VR and my need to tilt my head to compensate.
You do know it's called Twin Ring,right? It has a road track. We had it in GT4,5 and 6. I enjoyed Motegi on past GT's.
I did notice that. It doesn't change the fact that adding that track would include some more events in just the oval part of the track. I'm still very new to GT and caring about racing at all. Hearing that it was in the last 3 GT games does give me some assurance that the road course part of the track must be good if people were enjoying it and hoping for its return. Because the video I saw was from IRacing and after 2 minutes I was convinced it would easily be my least favorite track if it appeared in the game.
Oh, I feel you. I lived as a kid in the South for a time, and was the weirdo because my racing heroes had names like Aryton, Alain, Lauda, and Elio. Real racers had names like Dale, Jimmie, Rusty, and Bobby!
Wow! I immensely enjoyed running this tune around the Ring. Just felt perfectly connected to the course. A great car with a fantastic setup @praiano63!
