With well over a hundred hours in the PS5 racing sim, I thought I’d seen pretty much everything Gran Turismo 7 had to offer. But the new (and entirely free) PSVR 2 update has breathed new life into the game. And now that I’ve been sitting, literally, in the driver’s seat, I’m plenty eager to strap back in for one of the best VR experiences I’ve ever had.
PSVR 2 highlights Gran Turismo 7’s lighting. Rainy night time races are a real treat, particularly the numerous tunnels of Tokyo Expressway. Thanks to PSVR 2’s wide 110-degree field of view, you’ll actually witness these lights accurately whip past your peripheral vision, just as they would in real life.
Here is a list of ten VR Games either hoped for or coming out in 2024 or shortly afterwards. Some of them look to be top notch releases.
The next game update for Gran Turismo 7 looks set to land on our consoles this coming Thursday, May 30, with series creator Kazunori Yamauchi posting his traditional pre-update teaser on Twitter.
It's a date we've been expecting for a little while, with content updates coming far more commonly on
Cars, and more cars... Yet, they rarely add new locations where we can drive all those cars... smh.
We may get a new track this update. The teaser never hints at anything more than the cars, gotta wait for the trailer to know more.
There's over 110 layouts in the game, you raced em all? I know I haven't and I have 900 hours playtime
yes it is!, however I do hope they have a GT8 ready soon, because 7 its a cross gen, so there's more to be extracted for sure,
Following on from its Meta Quest launch, adventure-mystery Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye is out now for PSVR 2.
Yeah. It's impossible to go back. It's a big step up
Honestly, it's the same for any game. I tried to play Resident Evil 7 on TV after completing in VR, but just got bored. The atmosphere, sound, fear, depth all plummet. The graphics were better on TV, but it just didn't matter.
I went back to VR and played it twice more, unlocking new weapons, loved it!
Once you go VR you, uh… never go—ah, hell you get the point.
It’s sort of like that for me with RE8 now. Although I do like third person mode, but I’m gonna be a buck fitty with ya, I’ve never seen anything as immersive as RE8 in VR, granted I haven’t done Horizon or GT7 yet.
I just started playing GT7 again after briefly having tried it around release. Briefly because I just couldn’t get into it. I know my opinion won’t be popular here, but the racing felt sterile and lifeless, and I was very put off by the horrendous UI/convoluted menus.
Now the UI still frustrates me but I put up with it because the racing is so immersive in VR. It really has transformed what I considered a boring game into something exciting.
For me the VR mode is great. Undoubtedly. I have two situations that I can only do maybe once or twice before needing a break. The NASCAR tracks that are on a straight up 45° angle & the off road races. I gotta have a coke on deck because those two can make me nauseated as hell. Outside of that, phenomenal. I think menus are fine. Maybe they could add a little depth so it’ll be more lively than a regular menu, but I appreciate the simplicity. Give me VR in the pre-Race countdown. Hopefully there’s an option for no shaking off the screen which sucks because it’s fine in regular races.
