GT7 & PSVR2

[GlamFM]

Here´s hoping Kunos are currently building AC2 as a multi platform title from scratch.

I´m hopeful, almost positive that they are.

Sounds good.
As for proper new info, I think it's only that we will have 11 full 3d environments for VR showroom

Hopefully this will appease those who were pointing out the lack of marketing and previews. Sony ramp things up in the weeks before release. Just need to be patient.

A bit on how the HUD works:

Where is the Radar in Gran Turismo 7 when using PSVR?​

When racing, look right. Yes, each time you need to check the positional radar, weather radar, traction control level or brake bias, simply look to your right and the mini-UI will be there.


This is one element of the on-screen information which does take some adapting to, but you’ll get used to it with time.


Items like your speed, revs and gears – well, that’s up to you to look around your car’s interior and use the real-world instruments!

Yeah im super excited with this I may not play GT with a flatscreen again at this rate. Also sounds like they got to try with the wheel and VR.

 

[BigSarj]

I watched on mute because I don't want to be a nuisance on the bus but the footage looks great. What's this about different VR showrooms? Will we have outdoor ones?

A bit on how the HUD works:

Thank goodness the MFD is there. I was honestly terrified that PD would leave it out of VR, rendering VR mode unusable in many races.

 

[MroczMR]

I did write my impressions from the first video in other thread... but I will post it here again... This looks absolutely incredible <3 so hyped!

Yes, you can visit the Cafe and listen to the birds whilst you walk around your car.
Maybe Luca and Sarah will be there.

GT7 PS VR2 previoews are droping folks!

Gran Turismo 7 in PSVR2: New Footage and Hands-On First Impressions​

I just got back from a trip to PlayStation’s North American headquarters where I had the chance to be one of the first people to play Gran Turismo 7 on the PSVR2, and I’m here to tell you all about it...

 

[Fezzik]

Damn it, I'm actually going to have to buy one now.

 

[Pfei]

Hype!

 

[Dibs]

It looks so good, but 600€... would anyone be happy to make a generous donation? A little philanthropy doesn't hurt, does it?

 

[JeffKill]

Looks good in the previews. Really curious to see how the clarity is compared to the HP Reverb G2 running on a 4090/i9-13900. The clips showing what is on your screen while in VR are always a much sharper image.

 

[AlexOnTheFly]

Sorry for my profane language but I think I'm going to have a giant boner driving the Nordschleife in VR😁

 

[TheNormsk]

I'm curious as to how you find your buttons and dials on your wheel when you have the headset on? Do you just have to remember where they are? That could be an issue for me as I sometimes loose track of the paddle shifters when turning the wheel, lol, so finding buttons....

You can compare the flatscreen output of other games on YT with the new footage today for an apples to apples. I think it easily beats all the other ones by a wide margin. Not to mention that PSVR2 does 120 hz (gt7 also is at 120, with reprojection robably) compared to 90 on G2 and PSVR2 OLED panels will have slightly better color contrast and blacks (the night races will be great). Although, here the limitation is some of the G2 specs along with the PC software themselves. The vanilla version of most PC games doesn't look as good as GT7 even maxed out IMO.

There's a black & white "passthrough" camera that shows your surroundings - I believe you can pause and switch to that view to check things, but mostly yes it is muscle memory. I was always forgetting the button placements on the Moves for PSVR1 at first (and also the Dualshock for Atrobot) and having to raise the visor to check.

 

[Papiculo64]

Damn!!!!! I will watch all of this right now!!! 🤤🤤
Hype level max!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

As noted by @Fezzik, you can just press a button on the headset. It automatically pauses the game and allows you to see all of your surroundings in real-time through the PSVR2's built-in cameras.

You'll probably only have to do this a few times, though, and your muscle memory will take it from there.

Great video Jordan. I have watched a couple of other videos and they say the same thing. This looks great and if I had the money freed up I would certainly get this. I love how you can view that cars in VR

GTPlanet's hands-on video:

Pre-ordered my PSVR2 last week and am super pumped after seeing this video - looks absolutely amazing 😍

 

[GlamFM]

This is gonna consume me.

 

[Galvston]

its dancing time in the gt lands

 

[platocplx]

Man just gonna be cool you dont even need to have a multi screen setup to race since you are just there. That alone just makes this tech amazing.

I cant wait to look at an opponents cars on sport mode, tilting my head just above the window to see their rims and stuff

 

[Fezzik]

In the replies he confirms you are locked to cockpit view - which makes sense but some of the cars don't have one, and others (VGTs I'm looking at you) are a bit pants.
