GT7 on PSVR2 has Changed my Sim Racing Life! // My Two Month Review

It’s awesome but does make me nauseous

If you’re a car enthusiast, then the cafe is something you will highly enjoy. How could you ever get annoyed at it and not appreciate just how much history and information they put into it? Forza and other games don’t give a damn.

So hooked I bought a rig 😂

I have a question does the Vr2 now that the steering wheel is centered?

So I believe Ive been a good boy all year and Santa might get me a PSVR2, believe there will be a lot to learn. My question to you is should I get an extended 2 year warranty?

The cars ghost more so in lower driver rating lobbies. But less so when you’re are AS or A+S

Exactly

hello I noticed in a lot of videos with the headset that on screen video seams to be shaky is it the same way with the headset on ?

There’s no age for gaming! Over 50, I still love the immersion of gaming! Playing with the VR2 has changed the game:
Pluses:
You get a feeling of your surroundings. It’s so strong I got sea sickness the first days and had to take breaks feeling nausea. Play on flat tracks to get used to it.
You feel the slopes either going up or down, you can finally view it, making your driving even better!
The details of the cockpit are just unreal!
You can look around with a 360 view from your cockpit
Minuses:
There is a bit of noise in the image and with sweating and wearing glasses, I need to clean them often. Surprisingly, I see better wearing them than without, although I need them for farsightedness.
I had some trouble adjusting the headset at first. You need to be very careful keeping your eyes centered in the settings, position the VR perfectly then tighten it on your head.
Overall, it’s magic! Bit pricy but considering the time I play well worth it!

The boys and i had a lobby the other day with five vr2 and 5 sim wheels it was incredible experience. Best vibes and party chat in years

Very repetitive talking

The story mode is great because it educates you on so many aspects of racing, car mechanics, and the automotive industry and history. Not to mention the challenge, which is what great games provide. People watching in the room are instantly engaged, even old heads that grew up racing on the streets for real cant believe what they are seeing. And if someone can't handle VR, GT7 plays amazing on a TV. A+ Title. Other VR2 titles to checkout..Switchback, Ghostbusters, Kayak, and the upcoming FNAF Help Wanted 2 should be great. FNAF Help Wanted 1 on PSVR1 was awesome, so was Rush of Blood, SportsBar, & RE Village.

I really wish sony would bring this to pc as well.

I really love GT7 in VR I now only race in VR since releasing but there is one big issue I think mentioned in the last rating video the horizon lock on special rout X and especially on Daytona really hope they can fix this

Please respond to this if Sony is holding you hostage 😂

I don’t have psvr or a wheel; I wish I could afford it, but the headset being 550 and the fanatec wheel being 700 leaves it a dream yet.
I want to know how it must feel doing the hour spa race that cycles through a 24 hr cycle with rain at night, or Le Mans that starts sunny and can end up with a downpour. In a dark room with a decent headset on my 4k HDR1000 monitor, it is already immersive.

I still remember playing GT back in the 90s. Was it the Viper that was the only 7 speed car? Been a long time fan, wishing they had a lot of the 90s sports cars still like AW11 MR2 or a 2G Eclipse GSX for example.
Loved Tokyo extreme racer as well.

Now it’s time to go watch something on the dd pro wheel and wish I could get it, and prob have the creator make me want the booster to 8Nm and the fancy extra clutch pedal and any other accessories to immerse myself better. Going to end up wanting 3 grand for a racing sim setup :’(

Glad you are enjoying yourself and loved the fact that your opinion more so evolved than changed.

Keep having fun, maybe one day I’ll do the online races instead of doing my daily miles, pretending I won’t get the least valuable to me prize, and collecting that money for expanding the car collection.
Spa = 1.5 mil clean race for 1 hour, Le Mans is around 825k for 30 mins, sardejna is around 720k for less than 25 minutes if you are looking for more funds outside the time trials in the online section.

Best wishes

Nice review i fell the screen a little bad, so much mura effect doenst even appear to be a full oled. Its very good buy i was over expetations and get a little dissapoint for the quality, but a very good headset, easy plug and play etc

I love it, I have a PSVR2/PS5/GT7 and I play nothing else - it's just so good, I wish there weren't so many talentless punting twats, but as your sportsmanship rating improves it does get better, and the good races outnumber the bad. I'm just a casual gamer and can only put in 5 to 10 hours a week, but it's such good fun on a (relative) budget. I have recently bought a cockpit and the GT DD Pro and the SRS wind-sim kit, I fancy the SlipAngle shakers next - it's a slippery slope haha.

How much did they pay you to say this?

I bought JUST the headset alone on ebay. Did i make the mistake of not having the controllers as well in regards to setting it up? Will I still be able to set up the headset without the controllers?

I started my simrace adventure from first Project Cars. Now GT7 in psvr2 is the best on the market and theres no game that even close to it. See you on track 👍

totally agree, I've completely left my PC VR setup behind.

It was insane how nauseating, vertigo inducing the effect the game gave me. I think it relates to sport cars because i just started GT7 and that´s all i got for now and the car suspension travels to much and the movement sensation just kills me. I feel like i am on a roller coaster! its bananas!! I will power through it because its absolutely worth it.

I bought gt7 for the psvr2, but can't seem to get it to work on the psvr2. It works fine on the regular ps5 version, but IDK how to get it to the VR mode. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It’s fantastic I love it, but now that I have a wheel (have had it for a month now) I do wonder if any other racing games will be on the PSVR2.

Ireland 💚

This is the review I needed to see. We have similar pc vr setups. I ordered PSVR2 after watching this.

Great video. I'm in love with my VR2 and GT7. It's all I play. Super analyzation. I enjoyed the cafe menu's / story mode. My only complaint is the micro-transactions. I don't have time to grind to get 30 million credit, and won't spend $300 dollars on a car. And hey, I'm from Jersey. so your accent is refreshing.

GT7 conline championships are the best by far.adictive

I wonder if there's a way to take off all those stats on each car

I came from a need for speed most wanted era of racing, was never into racing Sims till I got this game for psvr2 and like everyone else, I'm hooked. Looking into what wheel and pedal to buy . Not sure what I want but open minded to it

Awsome review or whatever that was. pretty authentic. pretty much down to the ground. Maybe others feel different, but for me this means that i gotta subscribe.

I’m disappointed,quality of graphics is nothing I was expecting

Theres just something about nailing a heel-toe when approaching a corner that really makes vr2 worth it. Every car i get into gt7 i immedietely convert into a stick shift so i can always have that feeling. That plus the little details during a race like headlights from the car on your takl illuminating your cockpit at night or seeing fighter jets fly directly above you as a race starts. They should have marketed gt7 for psvr 2 more. I feel a lot of casual gamers have no idea what theyre missing.

I thought u need to at least finish the coffee shop before u can go race online.. (isn't the coffee shop the story mode?)

It’s soooo crazy how what you’ve said in your review mirrors my experience! First I bought the PSVR2 to replace my PSVR which honestly I didn’t use that much. Secondly I bought GT7 because I heard it was a good game (never played any Gran Turismo titles before). The experience of GT7 + PSVR2 was so awesome I ended up spending $2K on a sim rig (never even owned a racing wheel before lol). And now I’m totally hooked on sim racing! I don’t even care when I’m not the fastest racer because the game is so fun I’m just happy to be racing! Great video and analysis 👍🏽

I’ve noticed that my usb cable for my racing wheel is getting very hot after I play vr along with other cables connected to my PlayStation, do you have this problem? Don’t want my stuff to break haha

Excellent review. Thanks

You should experience GT7 and psvr2 with a motion simulator. I have the DOF reality p3 motion rig with a Logitech G pro direct-drive wheel and pro pedals and it's mind blowing. It took a while to dial in the motion but when you do OMFG it is absolutely 1 to 1 with real racing apart from not having the fear of getting hurt or dying. That's the ONLY thing it's missing IMO. I guess it would be better on the p6 because it has few more directions of freedom than the p3 but I am planning on upgrading buying 1 motor at a time. I am renting it out for people for money because once it's paid for itself I will have gotten it for nothing.

PSVR2 has a "sweet spot" of clarity. I take a few moments when i put it on to find the swee spot and after that its fantatic, far superior to the Quest 2. As a long time GT fan PSVR2 has fundamentally changed GT for me, and i mean that in the best way possible. GT7 on PSVR2 justified the purchase alone, everything else is just gravy.

Great video! I got VR2 on launch and have not been able to go back and play any other sims on flatscreen since.

I actually got into GT7 originally to learn to drive IRL, in my mid 30s and never liked driving, or the racing genre, but decided to just give it a shot and pick up a cheap-ish Logitech G29 + stand setup. I ended up liking the game so much, as soon as VR2 support was announced, I pre-ordered my headset immediately, and then bought a full DD wheel + cockpit rig. Haven't looked back since, it's about the only game I play nowadays. The depth perception and immersion from VR has given me the confidence to actually learn to race online, which has been a blast. I can't think of the last gaming experience I've had that I've been so engrossed in, and don't see myself getting tired of it at all anytime soon.

I think the screens themselves are pretty sharp. It's GT7 that's pretty low res. Try red matter 2 this game runs at super high res and it looks very sharp and clear in psvr2. I still think gt7 looks good enough.

Hi, what wheel driving are you using?

The problem is not the screen here.. screens are good, but the lenses in front of them are not ! 😉

I think you're missing out a little bit and not playing the AI in VR it's like they race you different from 2d I can't explain it but the races are good even of course online is better most times lol

I feel the same way, gt7 with psvr2 is something special.

would be cool if they add a top down view of the maps for vr as if youre racing remote control cars

your hardcore but you state your casual.... you bought this just for the headset just for GT7!? You never touched the handsets!???

im not saying youre wrong or telling you how to enjoy or what to play lol i just found a lot of whats the word... you know what i mean.... and you only oval race!!!??? holy heck!!! isnt that hardcore of the hardest core of racers!!???

well im in the uk ive never heard of people only dedicated to oval racing and never coming across circuit racing??? again im just stating my surprise...

Anyway enjoy!!!! I also watch Rory Alexander playing GT7..... if you need tips strategies of pit etc hes the go to guy, hes very informative in his commentary...

Try Kayak VR if you do fancy trying other VR experiences
