That's good news, as I also use my PSVR2 on PC. Cool !

You can use PSVR2 on PC?
Click to expand...
Yes, but there are some caveats:
1. You need to buy an expensive adapter from Sony
2. Not all features are supported:
PS VR2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5 – so you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC.

Where was that stated ?
I was hoping for that too, as it's the sole system seller for me (i.e. every future racing game, to be interesting even, needs to fully support VR...), but did not see it confirmed for AC Evo...

Stated by the devs and listed on the Steam page

Good news then, making it an immediate purchase too. Bit sick of PDs random treatment of VR & wheel ffb in generals, and fullforce implementation specifically...

Yes, because for a long while there will only be the PC version. Console release is way in the distance so there are no details.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't like it though, I would prefer them to not announce a console version at all before they have at least an estimated date.

BTW: Does anyone know if Early Access/Beta or whatever we call it would be possible on the PS Store? I mean, of course it would be possible technically but does Sony allow it?

Apparently Sony dont allow early access on PS5. The only thing you can do is change your time zone and unlock it a bit faster.

You can have demo or a global release.

You're thinking of unlocking a game early on release, like the Xbox NZ trick. Early Access is the devs letting people pay to play an unfinished build of the game for testing/feedback. More of a PC thing, like the several years of Baldur's Gate 3 or Star Citizen.

In most of my posts you will see me praise gran turismo, you are proably only reading my most recent ones, i put 2000 hours into gt7 and i would not do that if i didint love it,
When i refer to sim titles i was more refering to full simulators gt7 is more of a simcade.

I have enjoyed most of my time with it,
But its closing in on 3 years since launch , and it has got a bit sterile, pd and Sony are not adding enough content to make it feel fresh and new, i am not just talking about cars and tracks here, the single player is basicly still the same, all they do is adding a couble of sprint races each update, no words on endurance races, championchips or other good single player races, if a new gt would be revealed it could generate a lot of hype for me back again, or if they actully did something big for gt7 like an expansion, because i feel thats is needed at this point,

For some reason people often suspect sinister intent when someone doesn’t praise something repeatedly. It’s maddening to be honest.

Closest thing you'll get is Closed or Open Beta and even then it appears to be extremely rare.

I don't think Sony would allow something like that Early Access/Beta at the store, and I haven't seen anything that mentions about it on their website. We don't know when gt8 will be released, maybe 2026 or 2027. Who knows.

There was a public beta for GT Sport in 2017. It was only available in the PS Store.

Update: Sony Confirms Four-Day Demo for Gran Turismo Sport

Polyphony Digital studio head Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed a limited-time GT Sport demo, in a post on the PlayStation Blog. The demo will be available as a free download from the PlayStation Store, from 0900 GMT/UTC on October 9, with a pre-download available 48 hours earlier. The demo will ru

That came after a four-month closed beta.

2024 was quite a lackluster year for gt7 updates with only 1-2 decent updates, its getting weaker and weaker for each year,

Its sad for me as huge gt fan to see pd and Sony only doing the bare minimum to keep the game new and fresh.

I dont deny everything good gt7 has brought to the table like much better car sounds, customize options, very in depth sound changes for engine upgrades, vr, good wheather system, exellent graphics and car details,

But where it falls extreamly flat is the horrible single player career and ai,
Lack of cars for some brands is also a bit dissapointing,

I dont see 2025 getting any stronger than 2024 i hope i am wrong through,
If its just the same lackluster updates i might play it very little to almost nothing.
And in that case i will just play ac evo and not look back.

PD are likely prioritizing gt8 development right now, gt7 updates are secondary at this point.

Facts. Old style A-Spec career with Sophy plus PP limitations and less or not required prize cars would make it great

PP limitations in single player must be optional!

The other thing about a game set around modern race cars is, outside of IMSA who do license out LMDhs/GTPs like candy (PD should really talk to them, it'd be a good PR win), licensors are increasingly preferring their own standalone games and/or iRacing these days. A few examples:
  • The only 2 2020s F1 cars I can think of outside of the licensed F1 games are the 2020 Mercedes in iRacing and the Red Bull in The Crew.
  • The only 2 LMHs outside of officially licensed LMU are the GR010 here and the 499P that just got added to iRacing.
  • The cars in GT5/6 might still be the most modern rally cars outside of the official WRC series, modern versions of these don't really show up at all.
  • The current Indycar is iRacing-exclusive.
  • NASCAR's current generation of cars is only iRacing and Forza.
  • Super Formula is GT7 and iRacing exclusive.
  • Super GT GT500 doesn't exist in modern form anywhere, The only GT300s are the BRZ GT300 and Lexus GT3 livery we have here.
  • DTM may as well be RaceRoom exclusive, except for the RS5 we have here.
  • Current-gen V8 Supercars is iRacing-exclusive (Forza just got the old generation models back; claiming that is like claiming PD have modern Super GT GT500 from the 2016 models)
  • Basically every GT3 model that's been added to anything other than officially licensed ACC in the past couple of years has come in a factory base livery (or a custom livery like we got the '18 GT-R in) rather than a racing team livery.
I don't profess to know the reasons at all, but it's clear most racing series licensors are either being more picky with where they license or aren't being approached by many places for their licenses.

There should absolutely be no license/patents for content in video games whatsoever! Make racing games legally free for all cars and brands and trademarks.

Why shouldn't car brands be able to monetise their brand in games when it's literally how Sony make money from Gran Turismo?
Click to expand...
The problem isn't monetizing it's the patents which is monopoly rents which is a legislated [partial] market failure or markets behaving dysfunctional. Also fictional cars like the most VGT cars in GT should also not be patented or use-rights exclusive to Sony & Polyphony digital. Most of the profits/sales is because many enough game players across console/pc think a game is entertaining enough to buy. Which is not mostly because of new real world cars which are still produced and sold in the real world.

Intellectual property is the mechanism that allows the monetisation. If you don't own the design rights and trade marks for your brand, people can use them to generate money for themselves without you having any say in it.
Click to expand...
The righteous & ethical law would be that even if you don't own the design rights & trade marks for the brand, it should be unlawful to put it behind a paywall or to charge money for it otherwise. But indirectly generating advertising income should be allowed. I think Creative Commons is the correct law&rule for what I support for all digital stuff in movies&books&video games. And in video games and movies we pay for the game and the movie we don't pay for the brands in the games & movies. And the fun isn't in the brands themselves.
