The wording suggested that it was coming only for PC… since they deleted this on steam page… maybe announcment is coming? Maybe psvr2 also?

I doubt they ditched vr entirely since they switched to giants engine specifically for better vr support.
Hopefully it runs better in VR than Farming Sim.
Likeliest situation is probably like GT, VR support added post-release. With a multi platform release it's probably a bit down the priority list at the moment.
 
Just watched the trailer and the fact they kept saying "I'd you can afford it" sent alarm bells ringing for micro transactions.
Sure, but you'd need to have missed all the previous stuff about the "authentic motorsport economy": picking your financial background, base of operations, travel costs, repair costs, race entry costs, sponsorships...
" In-game purchases optional"
There's clearly car passes/packs coming: there's a pre-order GTE pack and a Year 1 Season Pass.
Sounds like a money hole.
As far as I can tell, all GIANTS mods are free...
What are our chances of finishing well if we don't do mods?
Likely pretty high because... the game?
 
Looks really, really good!! Is there realism options to make racing a bit less demanding? I'm not good at racing games in heavy racing traffic and damage costs might destroy me along with the probably heavy penalties from a collision.
There is a difficulty setting shown in the menus, and the website says you can disable Authentic/Hardcore mode, but the damage avoidance seems to be a main focus of the career. There is a specific sponsor that just pays your damage costs, so you could use that one (but then you'd need good race results & prize money).

Hopefully there's some way they can extend that philosophy to the online racing and dissuade the rammers, but I'm not sure how the financial penalties would work if you were an innocent bystander.
 
Ok, now we know a bit more about the fundamentals of career mode, I'm starting to get a little more hype up for this game, sounds like it will have a good amount of depth to the career mode which is something a lot of racing games have lacked recently. Day 1 mod support across all platforms is a massive, massive plus, hopefully someone does a nice super touring mod.
 
It does look interesting. All I'll say is that for me there's already almost THE perfect GT-focused game in ACC out there, so this will have to do something a bit different or really offer something brilliant to make me get really excited about it. What was great about PCars 1&2 was the 'every type of motorsport' sandbox experience and this does look a bit narrower in scope so far. I'll follow it with interest, and I'm happy that it's out so soon too.

Neat!! WILL get the game! Oh and Modding Support???

Time for a meme smile!!

Pretty certain that Sebring is in the game, but maybe not officially (yet). One of the screenshots shows a “Lake Jackson Raceway”.

Along with the “Northampton” track, they’re not being very subtle.

This career actually sounds quite interesting. Regional selection makes a difference - less travel costs, more/less prize money depending on where/what you race, ability to do the rich kid playthrough and jump straight into a good car/series, etc.

Hypercars are not my thing so I like that there's no pressure to do those races, I can just be a gentleman racer in GT3/GT4/historics.
It does seem a lot like a single player iRacing on console, which is a good thing in my book.
The whole sponsorship play reminds me of the Grid games back then. But now it seems that they're playing a bigger role than only just being a minor sticker on the car. Kinda bummed about seeing the Year 1 bundle pricing, which I should be getting used to TBH. Yet, it hasn't deterred my enthusiasm on the game yet.

Reminds me of rFactor, that had 'Northamptonshire', 'Brianza', 'Jiading' and 'Nueburg'. Instead of Silverstone, Monza, Shanghai and Nurburgring.
 
Yes I understood it has an economy but if the economy is anything like GT7 which makes it mind numbingly boring to earn credits unless you pay real money then that is what I want to avoid. The rest looks fab.

There's no indication that there's any microtransactions at all - and GT7 hasn't been as described in almost two years.

The economy doesn't seem anything like GT7, much like the game itself. It's not a car collector, you're not supposed to get loads of credits and buy all the cars. Not a driving sim, a "racing team" sim, you get small race payouts and larger sponsorship deals to fund each season and continue your career.

This isn't the same as that nonsense economy. Plus you can just race all the cars anyways like any other sim. The economy is only in the career mode progress.
 
I’ll be up for this for the platinum.

Let’s see what the online offering is and if it’s going to rival GT

Nothing wrong with a bit of competition 😁
 
Question how many racing games on PS5 support PSVR2? Cause I only ever see is just GT7.

GT7
My First Gran Turismo
Grand Rush VR Highway Car Traffic Racing Simulator
EXOcars

There’s also a motorcycle racer and a couple of truck sims on the way. You can see why VR2 owners are a bit eager for something new.
 
Its neat they've kept the game open with everything available from the get go like PCars did. Cautiously optimistic it plays well, cant pre-order though, need to know more / have a drive of it. Im assuming it will have time trial / quick race options, purely so that I dont have to engage with career mode (really just want to drive about). Fingers crossed, looks decent.

So other then GT7 nothing major I just don't see any major racing game like this supporting PSVR2 didn't F1 25 just come out and it didn't support psvr2?

PSvr2 just doesn't have the sales for 3rd party to support it which is why I don't think this game will either. I could be wrong but will see.

On the in game economy, the fact you can start the game rich if you so choose, suggests the game isn't going to push buying in game currency at you. There will no doubt be DLC that you can choose to buy, but the last thing a game developer will do if they want to encourage players to buy in game cash is allow them to choose to start the game well off instead of poor.
