IMPORTANT THING that most GT7 VR players dont know is - for anyone wondering how to adjust the in game wheel to be higher or lower, or away from you (the driver), or closer to you, simply lower your head (while you have the psvr2 headset on) and keep pressed the option button if you want the wheel to be higher, raise the head+hold the option button if you want the wheel to be lower. Lean/move your body toward the wheel and keep pressed the option button if you want the in game wheel to be further from you, move away from the wheel+hold on the option button if you want the ingame wheel to be closer to you. So, play around a few times until you get the desired position.
I have VR for PC and its incredible for flight sims as well. Though to be honest, I play GT7 exclusively in cockpit view because if you don't, you're missing out on an insane amount of work developers have put into the car interiors. In VR you just get to see even more of it.
I never realized just how much elevation change there is on some of these tracks till I did some laps in vr. It’s incredible how the brain can be tricked into thinking it’s real to were you feel it in your stomach sometimes.
@@ForemanAuto it’s especially noticeable on the Nurburgring the whole track is insane with how much your constantly going up and down but the two slow speed banked corners were insane it looks cool in 2D but I didn’t appreciate just how banked it was till I did a lap in vr it truly blew my mind.
I'm so happy that VR reached the point where people other than us VR nutbags see the awesomeness it brings to gaming. I love VR soooooo much, and the adoption of VR was way slower than I ever thought.. But now it seems like we're finally at a point where VR is meeting and exceeding expectations. I hope tons and tons and tons of people join in, it's truly the most fun I've ever had in video games over the close to 40 years I've played.
Hey vgaportauthority9932 :) now 4 months later i reply to old massages haha lol.. i think you are right! Back in the day with phone vr many people did try it and thought: this is not vr it is gonna be a forgotten its a gimmick.. but those people need to try it these days with new tech... I see vr is the future in gaming but also in immitating life. Maybe the matrix movie is what is possible in the far future.. i love vr
Listen: Get in a Radical SR3, and drive the new Grand Valley circuit. When driving through the second or third tunnel, admire the front fender and tell me it's not 100% photorealistic. Simply stunning.
Your speechlessness at the end, says more than words could. Wait until you see the detail on the cars in the VR showroom in the garage. There is also a VR replay option that stand you along the side of the track and you can watch the car's speed by. I hope Polyphony add more scenic circuits like Eiger Nordwand, Matterhorn, El Capitan, Sierra and others (updated visuals of course). The race tracks are good, but there have been some very scenic circuits which would be breathtaking in VR. The new Grand Valley has been fun in VR, although I closed my eyes as I skidded towards the edge of the cliff (even knowing there's an invisible barrier). There are so many people watching these streams seeing people react to VR racing for the first time, and all they're seeing are these flat headtracked videos and people saying "This is amazing, this is unbelieveable, this is unreal, this is absolutely incredible". The sensations and feeling of PRESENCE do not translate to descriptive words or a video. The first time wearing a VR headset and being transported somewhere else is incredible. Equally, taking the VR headset off for the first time and being back in your room can be just as disorienting. Your brain is like "Oh, I'm in my room. Of course I'm in my room... but I was just somewhere else". The format needs more full AAA games, fingers crossed Sony (and all other VR manufacturers/developers) can break new ground. If one succeeds, they all do.
Welcome to the future! It was an absolute pleasure to watch this. It's always satisfying to watch someone inexperienced with VR, try the pinnacle of VR for the first time. PSVR2 is going to have a similar impact on most people as it did to you. I'm very excited about the fact that VR has finally hit a mainstream point where the tech and the whole experience is ready for prime time. People don't realise that VR (especially the quality of PSVR2 + GT7) literally transports you into the game. It's not like some fake looking 3D display. You truly feel like you are there, it looks like how you see real life. You finished this perfectly, because that absolutely sums it up. It truly changes the game, period. All the technology before this was leading up to VR. Sony should use this as an ad!
Glad that you had such a great first experience with GT7 on the PSVR2. Yes, Simulation games are just a natural for VR (flight sims are awesome too but can really induce motion sickness if you're not careful...LOL). BTW, when running GT7 in VR there is also an added mode in the settings menu that lets you view your race replays in VR mode (it puts you at specific points along the side of the track and you can watch the cars speed by,,,it's pretty amazing watching race replays in VR!)
@@russc5269 After you finish a race and get to the option screen where you can play the replay or retry the race, when you select "replay" there is a bottom option labeled "VR Replay". The option is also available when you go to the "Showcase" location and replay your saved race replays. It's pretty cool.
Wait what? I didn't know about this! Literally the only thing I dislike about GT7 is that the replays aren't VR.... Literally never noticed that option.
Thank you so so much for letting me know about this!! I couldn't understand why they didn't give you the replays in VR and I've just been missing it this whole time.
Couple tips for nausea in racing VR, tilt your head to stay perpendicular to embankments (following the tilt of the car, e.g. in the carrousel) and close your eyes when coming to a complete stop. The absence of the lurch if you're used to stopping in a real car will get ya. Also helps with crashes, depending on the type. When in doubt, just close your eyes and hold the brakes until you're completely stopped.
Yup, wise words. The lack of G-force is the biggest problem with any VR experience so we have to simulate it. Tilting head or even shaking it on straights helps with giving brain enough extra forces to deal with even if they are not comparable to real ones. Just let your brain work a little with gravity. Closing eyes works as well - tested. And with every race this will just go away by itself. I'd add from my own experience. In the beginning pick slow car and flattest track possible. Laguna Seca, Spa or Nordschleife are not the wisest choices to begin with. Even if you think you are a boss and everything will be great, cause rollercoasters and car rides have no impact on you, believe me, VR will mess everything and actually that experience with those rides can be the real culprit here. Also sequence of corners are the worst. Not single turn but fast chicanes. Brain will act by itself and give your body signals to counter incoming forces. You can deal with that with one turn but another one incoming right away just messes up everything and head spin is almost guaranteed. Give yourself a time. Couple of hours and days should set everything in its right place. And it is worth to win.
That speechless reaction after you took the headset off is the perfect advertisement for VR in my opinion. Watching trailers can only give you an idea, it's something you really have to experience.
It's impossible to really imagine a piece of tech tricking the brain as hard as VR does. Nothing else in the world tricks the brain like this, so we can't really compare it to anything.. It's one of those things that has to be experienced to be understood.
@@vgaportauthority9932 People might think you are OVER doing it after taking the headset off...but I felt exactly like you AND I played with a controller! It CANNOT be overstated how much VR2 changes the way people will want to play racing games...you cannot go back, impossible.
I tried Spa with 911 RSR with my friend's PSVR2, it is absolutely mind blowing. I am thinking of buying one...coming from a guy that always been MEGA skeptical about VR stuff. As you said, It's like we are racing for real...really. Poly did an amazing job here..
iv always thought vr is just a gimmick that will never catch on but im super tempted to pull the trigger just for the game. the immersion with the wheel must be insane.
I managed to get my Buttkicker working with GT7 and that makes this even more real. You can feel all bumps in the road, engine vibrations and collisions! just amazing!
@@alfredlille No. No possible with the PS5. I use the audio output from the monitor/TV that goes into a splitter box. One output to the speakers and the other to the Buttkicker. Works well.
@@PhiLikeFlying I've been thinking about adding one or an alternative to a racing rig that I bought but still haven't set it up and I was thinking that together with the PS VR2 it was going to be really insane and feel much more realistic. I just don't know which amp for the buttkicker/dayton audio bst-1/bst-2 I need and where to place it on the rig.
@@sonyx5332 I use the Buttkicker Gamer 2. Thats all you need. Attached to my Playseat with a slight mod. You can anything as long as you split the Audio.
Have all the GT7 you tubers never tried VR racing before. I find it amazing that they haven't. VR in sim racing has been amazing for a good few years now, you guys sure have been missing out. I so wish I could go back to my first ever race in VR, your reaction reminded me so much of that time. The problem is once you have tried VR, you just can't go back to pancake racing.
LOL. I've spent 40 years "Pancake racing" but never called it that. Time to exercise the leather of my wallet and get a headset to take GT7 to the next level.
I still can't believe you dived straight into a full lap of the ring and survived not falling out of your rig and or throwing up!! I had to cruse round for 30 mins before I dare floor it 1st try and felt a little funny after! Second go yesterday, it took me 10mins to get grounded then I was flying and felt fine after. So today i'm hoping I can stop looking everywhere but the task in hand(the track) and get practicing. Honestly I don't think I can go back to flat screen now. PSVR2 is stunning and IMHO more detailed than flat screen and a hell of a lot more fun! Well done mate!
I don't know if you've tried it before but the Bugatti Veyron is incredible in VR!! The dashboard behind the wheel is actually a curved LCD monitor that shows the rear view!!! The mirrors are already super useful in VR but this takes it to another level! Just ❤️ it!
I’ve used quest2 for ACC on PC, it was okay. I think this is the best setup currently. With all of GT7’s cars with fully detailed interiors it must be amazing. If only my simucube 2 worked on ps5 I would buy this right away. The best part is, just plug in one cable into the PS5 without the need to adjust VR settings in numerous control panels. Plug in and enjoy. Great video.
Your loss for words is understandable! While sitting here watching you drive the ‘Ring, I realized I could see the welding beads on the upright part of the rollcage by the A pillar. The depth of detail is staggering!
The detail on the cars in the VR showroom is unbelievable. Everything is rendering at the maximum resolution and there is so much attention to detail everywhere you look. You can tell the game was designed for VR from day one. I don't expect it'll be long before all the official GT Sport e-sport championships are all VR based.
@@anomalychasing5383 They've put lots of random little details and easter eggs in. If you do a time-trial on Daytona, you can watch SpaceX launch, and if you hang around a few minutes you can see the rocket boosters return to earth and land by the side of the track. Trial Mountain has the monkey and lake monster (if you wait) back and a couple of bears near the end of the long tunnel. Oh, and Mount Panorama has a UFO abducting a cow (if you wait 10 mins at the highest point of the track near the ArmorAll banners).
@@mattburkey I had no idea Matt, about these "anomalies". Seriously I heard about the UFO but shrugged it off as spam. Thats crazy. Do these happen on flatscreen or just VR?. Listen to me being lazy. Googling now - cheers for the heads up.
The exact reaction I had. My cousin brought over his PSVR2. I’ve always played racing games, thought I’d see how it was. First time ever with VR….it completely blew my mind. I had to go buy it the next week. I actually kind of like how exhausting it can get. I don’t need to play for hours on end.
Great vid Rory, pretty much the same reaction I had. I must admit I was sceptical about being able to use VR2 when I bought it as I didn’t get on with my daughters VR1 due to sickness. But I had to try it and was willing to sell if I could not get in with it. Initially I could manage about 15 mins. My other half told me about a few things you can do for VR sickness that she found online. Unfortunately I can’t remember all of them, but I did remember to turn down the screen brightness. This alone is enough for me to be able to play as long as I like. I now don’t get sickness unless I’m in a car that I can see the road going underneath like a go kart or on a track with big elevation changes. My use limit is now governed by when my head gets too sweaty. 😂 I thoroughly recommend VR2 for GT7 but my advice it to get used to it on level tracks like Goodwood.
Rory I've been watching here for a long time and I'm really happy watching this video. Just gave me a great mood to go and buy my own psvr headset in a while to enjoy a range of games, or even just to relax and watch your videos in the cinema mode which is also an amazing feature.
After buying the VR and a wheel I can confirm it really is an incredible experience and makes it impossible to go back to playing on a standard screen.
This is the right reaction to Gran Turismo in VR2. I was worried that the vr headset integration with gt7 was gonna be a let down; but I’m so impressed with it and happy that it is here now available
Just got my psvr2 a few days ago. And it’s honestly the best gaming experience I’ve had in my life. The level of immersion is unbelievable for a game, the attention to detail insane. It’s the little details like watching replays back in vr mode and seeing the little people on the side moving like they’re real people…like whaaat!! Who even thought of that. VR has a very bright future and I’m here for it
Hiya m8 I have been playing it in vr and resolution takes a small hit. I think I was expecting it to be 4k flat resolution. But the immersion makes up for it
Hopefully we see more gt7 vr at least in videos or maybe streaming if they add chat display in headset Loved the stream today. Happy birthday once again dude
Yeah VR is such a great experience. I have raced many many hours in VR on the PC. Love it. Want to buy a PS5 en PSVR 2 as well. The biggest wow factor for me is the scale of everything. You won’t experience this in pancake mode. Only in VR. With VR you’re in the game world. With pancake mode you’re looking at the game world. Huge difference. How is the smoothness? With my PC VR I get 90FPS. I’ve read that the PSVR2 only can produce 60fps.
Fantastic fun to see/hear your reaction. I got mine yesterday and this old bloke whined like a kid. Could hardly belive it. Transforms my simracing totally. I didnt use my glasses (-2.50 AND + in the nearfield) and it worked just fine. And I didnt get dizzy and ended up playing 5 hours straight. With a playseat and a T Gt II wheel/pedals, sitting in that 3D cockpit is unreal! And finally the elevation of a track like nordschleife finally comes to life. You can really see and feel the wast changes in elevation and the bending in the carousels are mind boggling. Better save up for PSVR2 guys. It will change your simracing. I will NEVER race flatscreen again.
Am loving VR, you are not only playing the game, you are in the game, to make it even better I have put 2 rubber bands in an oil fragrance burner so I get a slight smell of rubber that simulates scrubbing of the tyres. Am trying to simulate clutch wear smells, so far the closest I have got to that is by using some exhaust putty joint sealer in another oil burner.
The first game I booted up was castle Wolfenstein. It was on a Tandy 1000. It was a green monitor, floppy disk dual drive with a printer. I’ve never experienced any kind of vr. Not PlayStation, not android, not pc, nothing. I went to sony and put a ps5 in my cart. And the vr2. It’s still just sitting there. I’m about to pull the trigger.
Try the honda 1 seater in vr. Brand central, then asia, then honda, then the last car its 1 mil. It the best car to experiance VR. The sense of speed is crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Apart from a bit more definition, looks the same as GT Sport with the VR on PS4. Love driving a Cobra around Bathurst. Look behind to see the roll bar, electronic bits set into the radio in the middle of the dash.
the first time i have try VR in my life, i was alone whit my new ps4pro and psvr 1,,, and RESIDENT EVIL 7 ,,,,,, i have never expected to be tricked like this whit my brain and perspective ,,, that was FAR better experience then i expected ,,, this was a childhood dream coming true,,,, I HAVE CRY , and i have 40 years old,,, ,,,, resident evil 7 in VR was better then disney land for me.....
For anyone that gets a little motion sickness while racing in VR, I found that a buttkicker helped a lot. It tricked by brain into thinking I was driving/moving. I'm sure a motion rig would be even better but the buttkicker made the experience much more pleasant for me. I have Wind-Sim also, but a little constant speed fan I'm sure would assist too.
@@mosaicmonk4380 Yes you can you silly billy. it's not as flexible as PC of course as you can't use an external soundcard with say simhub. A quick Google will show various setups and their limitations. Dummy.
"That's just changed the game" This is what VR does. Not just to racing sims. To any game. Us very early VR adopters have been banging this drum to people for over 6 years now. It's just unfortunate that it'll take some time for it to get through to the majority who just insist on playing the same rehashed stuff on their TV's. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's just trite in comparison.
I race all the time in VR have Reverb G2 and love it, I tried PSVR2 recently on Gran Turismo it looked fairly decent the game is pretty good but it’s to easy, I tried Red Bull Ring and I could chuck the Maclaren about and it never lost grip just too easy, would like to try it on ACC
I totally agree with you. PS5 and VR2 are out of this world with GT7. It is so addicting. Also you get used to the motion sickness. It goes away the more you use it. PlayStation blowing away the competition is nice to see. 👏👏👏👏
Hi Rory glad you were as taken back as I was with first experience of vr2. I know you like to keep in touch with everyone on your live streams, I see a clip from an American streamer who had connected text to speak to his comments somehow so he could hear the chat. Hope that's an idea that helps when in VR. Keep up the great content 👍
my room feels a bit too small for virtual world.) iam a newcomer here with psvr2 and within 2 days i have managed to almost broke my arm playing pistal whip. so now I put pillows from the sofa around me and all sorts of cardboard partitions so as not to hit the wall, not to break the TV or controllers.))) my room looks so rediculous when its VR ready.... But VR is amazing. At this point i have bought and tried Horizon, RE8, kayak, pistol whip , runner, last clockwinder, no mans sky and moss..and each one is f###ng brilliant. But looks like i missed the best one here - so i Ordered gt7 today! will try tomorrow (but without wheel. its too much money for VR stuff in this month already...maybe in few month i will try some wheel). Also can't wait for Pavlov that will be available in my country on Friday.
Looks great Rory. Is it clear and smooth?? I have a Rift S for pc and love driving nords in RF2 and AMS2. It also works well in ACC and MSFS 2020. On pc, it tends to be a tradeoff between speed and graphical quality, plus I still suffer with a bit of motion sickness! Glad to see you're enjoying it though mate, it's a real eye opener :)
It's really your first time when the VR asks you to find your controller. And you don't fling know where you left it. Too bad VR is too dizzying for me. Good thing is that when you go back to flat screen you'll appreciate the clarity of the picture of 2D.
hi ive watched quite a few of peoples reactions to their first experience on the psvr2 yours being one of the most enjoyable after seeing these videos with people saying how clear the images were etc the clarity the crispness how the mountains look almost photorealistic !! i decided to purchase the psvr 2 head set only to find that yes the interiors look very detailed and clear and gives you the immersion of being inside the car is great but then when you go out on track well thats where my disappointment began as i have found the whole experience is tainted by blurry vision !! its almost like the same experience that i was unfortunate to find with the first psvr all the hype then the reality vr is still not clear !! i was expecting 4k visuals as thats what is stated on the box but its no where near 4k visuals ? its 2k at best but then blurry ? can anyone advise what im supposed to be seeing or any tips on how to find THE SO CALLED SWEET SPOT !! thanks
Got my psvr 2 but there is way too much mura(dirty screen effect) it destroys the picture completly and alot off reprojection in other games(double images)
I noticed this is your only GT7 VR2 video (unless I missed one). Can you provide us with a follow up review and thoughts? I would be very interested in what you have to say. I'm still on the fence about it, seems like most people who got the new PSVR2 have never used VR in the past, so...there's a lot of initial shock and awe from the rookies.
I would like to get one but im an acc player even if its on ps5 , wish they make acc work with it but i have little hope. I do have gt7 though… but at 900$ canadian dollar tax in, i dont play gt7 enough
Had someone try mine and they almost threw up lol I’d find a way to try it before spending the money just for GT7 haha I love it though it’s worth it if you can afford it.
What’s the headset feel like on, I had the previous generation and although it wasn’t particularly uncomfortable, it wasn’t exactly comfortable either and was a bit heavy to wear.
I race in vr all the time now since trying my wifes quest 2 last year since then I have upgraded my pc and just have not appetite to race on a flat screen anymore I race on acc and rf2 via lfm and have a right blast also ams2 is really good in vr
Was this your first VR experience? I am trying to figure out how much better this is than PCVR with Assetto Corsa. I have the HTC Vive (Gen1 2016 PCVR) and have spent around 400 hours in Assetto Corsa with it. Just trying to figure out the comparison. I don't own a PS5 but this is making me want to buy one.
IMPORTANT THING that most GT7 VR players dont know is - for anyone wondering how to adjust the in game wheel to be higher or lower, or away from you (the driver), or closer to you, simply lower your head (while you have the psvr2 headset on) and keep pressed the option button if you want the wheel to be higher, raise the head+hold the option button if you want the wheel to be lower.

I just played it in vr yesterday. First thing I've done was admiring the Giulia GTAM in the showroom. I started laughing hysterically almost crying
I tried Spa with 911 RSR with my friend's PSVR2, it is absolutely mind blowing. I am thinking of buying one...coming from a guy that always been MEGA skeptical about VR stuff. As you said, It's like we are racing for real...really. Poly did an amazing job here..
iv always thought vr is just a gimmick that will never catch on but im super tempted to pull the trigger just for the game. the immersion with the wheel must be insane.
@@AC-wl7ve Prepare to have your mind blown!
The way the game seamlessly transitioned from VR to flat without pausing or anything (your ghost was still going on). Good lord. That's amazing.
I managed to get my Buttkicker working with GT7 and that makes this even more real. You can feel all bumps in the road, engine vibrations and collisions! just amazing!
Sim Hub?
@@alfredlille No. No possible with the PS5. I use the audio output from the monitor/TV that goes into a splitter box. One output to the speakers and the other to the Buttkicker. Works well.
@@PhiLikeFlying I've been thinking about adding one or an alternative to a racing rig that I bought but still haven't set it up and I was thinking that together with the PS VR2 it was going to be really insane and feel much more realistic. I just don't know which amp for the buttkicker/dayton audio bst-1/bst-2 I need and where to place it on the rig.
@@sonyx5332 I use the Buttkicker Gamer 2. Thats all you need. Attached to my Playseat with a slight mod. You can anything as long as you split the Audio.
I use butt kicker with simhub on the pc with the ps5 it works just fine.
Have all the GT7 you tubers never tried VR racing before. I find it amazing that they haven't. VR in sim racing has been amazing for a good few years now, you guys sure have been missing out. I so wish I could go back to my first ever race in VR, your reaction reminded me so much of that time. The problem is once you have tried VR, you just can't go back to pancake racing.
LOL. I've spent 40 years "Pancake racing" but never called it that. Time to exercise the leather of my wallet and get a headset to take GT7 to the next level.
@@buchinsku 😁👍
Project cars 2 on my oculus rift cv2 then quest was amazing. It’s obviously better with the latter headsets.
Barrier to entry with PC is too high still, I think.
@@buchinsku If you haven't played your racing games in VR yet, prepare to have your mind blown.
I still can't believe you dived straight into a full lap of the ring and survived not falling out of your rig and or throwing up!! I had to cruse round for 30 mins before I dare floor it 1st try and felt a little funny after! Second go yesterday, it took me 10mins to get grounded then I was flying and felt fine after. So today i'm hoping I can stop looking everywhere but the task in hand(the track) and get practicing. Honestly I don't think I can go back to flat screen now. PSVR2 is stunning and IMHO more detailed than flat screen and a hell of a lot more fun! Well done mate!
I don't know if you've tried it before but the Bugatti Veyron is incredible in VR!! The dashboard behind the wheel is actually a curved LCD monitor that shows the rear view!!! The mirrors are already super useful in VR but this takes it to another level! Just ❤️ it!
I’ve used quest2 for ACC on PC, it was okay. I think this is the best setup currently. With all of GT7’s cars with fully detailed interiors it must be amazing. If only my simucube 2 worked on ps5 I would buy this right away. The best part is, just plug in one cable into the PS5 without the need to adjust VR settings in numerous control panels. Plug in and enjoy. Great video.
ACC in VR is horrible, try AMS2.
I think it's way better than ACC for VR, a lot better performance also.
Think most wheels can be used on ps5, you do need a device to pass it through though
As deadsnail says. You can buy a device that will make your simucube work with PS5
@@throttleblipper interesting I thought that only worked on ps4. I’ll have a look thanks.
@@floodedcarb7028 ACC is actually amazing in VR. Just takes a 4090/i9-13900 though.
Your loss for words is understandable! While sitting here watching you drive the ‘Ring, I realized I could see the welding beads on the upright part of the rollcage by the A pillar. The depth of detail is staggering!
Hahah I was checking out the welds as well.
The detail on the cars in the VR showroom is unbelievable. Everything is rendering at the maximum resolution and there is so much attention to detail everywhere you look. You can tell the game was designed for VR from day one. I don't expect it'll be long before all the official GT Sport e-sport championships are all VR based.
Im not kidding - yesterday whilst stopped I saw a guy running to the portaloo. Nuts.
@@anomalychasing5383 They've put lots of random little details and easter eggs in. If you do a time-trial on Daytona, you can watch SpaceX launch, and if you hang around a few minutes you can see the rocket boosters return to earth and land by the side of the track. Trial Mountain has the monkey and lake monster (if you wait) back and a couple of bears near the end of the long tunnel. Oh, and Mount Panorama has a UFO abducting a cow (if you wait 10 mins at the highest point of the track near the ArmorAll banners).
@@mattburkey I had no idea Matt, about these "anomalies". Seriously I heard about the UFO but shrugged it off as spam. Thats crazy. Do these happen on flatscreen or just VR?. Listen to me being lazy. Googling now - cheers for the heads up.
I watched your live stream last night NZ time and your reaction was similar to mine. Just an endless line of WoW and Unreal and Jaw Dropping.
The sense of up/down/angle even in 2d is pretty cool to watch. Can't wait to get my PSVR2 hardware tomorrow! Thanks for the great review.
The exact reaction I had. My cousin brought over his PSVR2. I’ve always played racing games, thought I’d see how it was. First time ever with VR….it completely blew my mind. I had to go buy it the next week. I actually kind of like how exhausting it can get. I don’t need to play for hours on end.
I'm sold!! Thanks Rory!! I'm getting one next week. Happy birthday!!
Mine arrives on Monday or Tuesday. I can't wait. Happy bday Rory!
After playing GT7 in vr I dont play it in flat screen anymore it truly is a game changer imo
Great vid Rory, pretty much the same reaction I had.
I must admit I was sceptical about being able to use VR2 when I bought it as I didn’t get on with my daughters VR1 due to sickness. But I had to try it and was willing to sell if I could not get in with it. Initially I could manage about 15 mins. My other half told me about a few things you can do for VR sickness that she found online. Unfortunately I can’t remember all of them, but I did remember to turn down the screen brightness. This alone is enough for me to be able to play as long as I like. I now don’t get sickness unless I’m in a car that I can see the road going underneath like a go kart or on a track with big elevation changes. My use limit is now governed by when my head gets too sweaty. 😂
I thoroughly recommend VR2 for GT7 but my advice it to get used to it on level tracks like Goodwood.
What car and track would you recommend for someone trying it the first time? 👀🙏🏼
@@sonyx5332 I would start with goodwood and brands hatch. But paddock hill up to druids can be a bit icky. The nascar type tracks are good too.
"That is...That is...That is...That is...That is...That is...That is..." - Rory Alexander, 2023
Rory I've been watching here for a long time and I'm really happy watching this video. Just gave me a great mood to go and buy my own psvr headset in a while to enjoy a range of games, or even just to relax and watch your videos in the cinema mode which is also an amazing feature.
After buying the VR and a wheel I can confirm it really is an incredible experience and makes it impossible to go back to playing on a standard screen.
This is the right reaction to Gran Turismo in VR2. I was worried that the vr headset integration with gt7 was gonna be a let down; but I’m so impressed with it and happy that it is here now available
The game can make you genuinely visceral and emotional. That’s the ultimate achievement
Just got my psvr2 a few days ago. And it’s honestly the best gaming experience I’ve had in my life. The level of immersion is unbelievable for a game, the attention to detail insane. It’s the little details like watching replays back in vr mode and seeing the little people on the side moving like they’re real people…like whaaat!! Who even thought of that. VR has a very bright future and I’m here for it
Your reaction in the end made me sub you, you felt real , more real than most other things on the tube. rock on. long live VR!
Love racing VR you can see the elevations, Brands Hatch going down hill Is unreal!
Hiya m8 I have been playing it in vr and resolution takes a small hit. I think I was expecting it to be 4k flat resolution. But the immersion makes up for it
Hopefully we see more gt7 vr at least in videos or maybe streaming if they add chat display in headset
Loved the stream today.
Happy birthday once again dude
Ma mans was speechless!
Yeah VR is such a great experience. I have raced many many hours in VR on the PC. Love it. Want to buy a PS5 en PSVR 2 as well. The biggest wow factor for me is the scale of everything. You won’t experience this in pancake mode. Only in VR. With VR you’re in the game world. With pancake mode you’re looking at the game world. Huge difference. How is the smoothness? With my PC VR I get 90FPS. I’ve read that the PSVR2 only can produce 60fps.
even GT Sport was already great in VR.
even before it launched i tested GT Sport in VR in a PR show and i even bought the PS VR just for it.
Fantastic fun to see/hear your reaction. I got mine yesterday and this old bloke whined like a kid. Could hardly belive it. Transforms my simracing totally. I didnt use my glasses (-2.50 AND + in the nearfield) and it worked just fine. And I didnt get dizzy and ended up playing 5 hours straight.
With a playseat and a T Gt II wheel/pedals, sitting in that 3D cockpit is unreal!
And finally the elevation of a track like nordschleife finally comes to life. You can really see and feel the wast changes in elevation and the bending in the carousels are mind boggling.
Better save up for PSVR2 guys. It will change your simracing. I will NEVER race flatscreen again.
Am loving VR, you are not only playing the game, you are in the game, to make it even better I have put 2 rubber bands in an oil fragrance burner so I get a slight smell of rubber that simulates scrubbing of the tyres. Am trying to simulate clutch wear smells, so far the closest I have got to that is by using some exhaust putty joint sealer in another oil burner.
Awesome. Tried RE7 candles once. Smellt like my dog farts - seriously.
I am not sure you used enough superlatives Rory. 😂
Keep up the good work!
I think he rather enjoyed the vr experience lol - he probably just “sold” a few vr2 rigs singlehandedly too!
The first game I booted up was castle Wolfenstein. It was on a Tandy 1000. It was a green monitor, floppy disk dual drive with a printer.
I’ve never experienced any kind of vr. Not PlayStation, not android, not pc, nothing.
I went to sony and put a ps5 in my cart. And the vr2. It’s still just sitting there.
I’m about to pull the trigger.
I also had a Tandy 1000! Played Tetris all the time 😅
@@TheStealthDawg oh wow. That’s awesome.
Once you get used to it the VR sickness goes away if it doesn't come back
Mind blown seeing you. :) Great video. Thanks.
It's fantastic it's the best thing to happen to PlayStation
Subscribed and definitely buying this now. Great vid.
Great stream a usual! You legend! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Rory Alexander! ;) :)
Thanks so much for your video. Just from your experience you had I brought playstation vr 2 headset today..
I think you nailed it at the end.
It has changed the game.....
Try the honda 1 seater in vr. Brand central, then asia, then honda, then the last car its 1 mil. It the best car to experiance VR. The sense of speed is crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Apart from a bit more definition, looks the same as GT Sport with the VR on PS4. Love driving a Cobra around Bathurst. Look behind to see the roll bar, electronic bits set into the radio in the middle of the dash.
the first time i have try VR in my life, i was alone whit my new ps4pro and psvr 1,,, and RESIDENT EVIL 7 ,,,,,, i have never expected to be tricked like this whit my brain and perspective ,,, that was FAR better experience then i expected ,,, this was a childhood dream coming true,,,, I HAVE CRY , and i have 40 years old,,, ,,,, resident evil 7 in VR was better then disney land for me.....
For anyone that gets a little motion sickness while racing in VR, I found that a buttkicker helped a lot. It tricked by brain into thinking I was driving/moving. I'm sure a motion rig would be even better but the buttkicker made the experience much more pleasant for me. I have Wind-Sim also, but a little constant speed fan I'm sure would assist too.
cant use buttkicker is ps5 dummy
@@mosaicmonk4380 Yes you can you silly billy. it's not as flexible as PC of course as you can't use an external soundcard with say simhub. A quick Google will show various setups and their limitations. Dummy.
Just ordered mine. Do you need a earphones or will the sound still play from my speaker ?
"That's just changed the game"
This is what VR does. Not just to racing sims. To any game. Us very early VR adopters have been banging this drum to people for over 6 years now. It's just unfortunate that it'll take some time for it to get through to the majority who just insist on playing the same rehashed stuff on their TV's. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's just trite in comparison.
I have and you just have to get use to the vr and you won't get dizzy at all. I can play hours and I feel great.
I race all the time in VR have Reverb G2 and love it, I tried PSVR2 recently on Gran Turismo it looked fairly decent the game is pretty good but it’s to easy, I tried Red Bull Ring and I could chuck the Maclaren about and it never lost grip just too easy, would like to try it on ACC
I totally agree with you. PS5 and VR2 are out of this world with GT7. It is so addicting. Also you get used to the motion sickness. It goes away the more you use it.
PlayStation blowing away the competition is nice to see. 👏👏👏👏
Happy birthday! I’m subbing your channel!!!
Great to watch your reaction to it this morning 👍 Happy Birthday too
Hi Rory glad you were as taken back as I was with first experience of vr2. I know you like to keep in touch with everyone on your live streams, I see a clip from an American streamer who had connected text to speak to his comments somehow so he could hear the chat. Hope that's an idea that helps when in VR. Keep up the great content 👍
That is a great way to get banned on twitch unless you have a good mod
So far, GT7 and RE: Village are the best looking games. But I feel the virtual world feels a bit too small. Anyone else think the same?
my room feels a bit too small for virtual world.) iam a newcomer here with psvr2 and within 2 days i have managed to almost broke my arm playing pistal whip. so now I put pillows from the sofa around me and all sorts of cardboard partitions so as not to hit the wall, not to break the TV or controllers.))) my room looks so rediculous when its VR ready....
But VR is amazing. At this point i have bought and tried Horizon, RE8, kayak, pistol whip , runner, last clockwinder, no mans sky and moss..and each one is f###ng brilliant.
But looks like i missed the best one here - so i Ordered gt7 today! will try tomorrow (but without wheel. its too much money for VR stuff in this month already...maybe in few month i will try some wheel). Also can't wait for Pavlov that will be available in my country on Friday.
Looks great Rory.
Is it clear and smooth??
I have a Rift S for pc and love driving nords in RF2 and AMS2.
It also works well in ACC and MSFS 2020.
On pc, it tends to be a tradeoff between speed and graphical quality, plus I still suffer with a bit of motion sickness!
Glad to see you're enjoying it though mate, it's a real eye opener :)
Hopefully this sets the precedent and ACC has an upgrade or the new AC will be PSVR2 compatible
Brilliant video mate. Happy cake day. 🎂
Skipped leg day comment. You got my subscribe mate!
We love to see it, can’t wait to see you on ACC!
It's really your first time when the VR asks you to find your controller. And you don't fling know where you left it.
Too bad VR is too dizzying for me. Good thing is that when you go back to flat screen you'll appreciate the clarity of the picture of 2D.
Well done. Great vid
Will you continue racing in vr or will you go back to flat screen
VR not always that great for streaming to be honest.
Talk about speechless! These VR worlds are going to be a dangerously fun place to spend aloooot of time.
Your speechlessness at the end made me subscribe. Amazing 100% heart felt reaction
I love your special racing socks :)
hi ive watched quite a few of peoples reactions to their first experience on the psvr2 yours being one of the most enjoyable after seeing these videos with people saying how clear the images were etc the clarity the crispness how the mountains look almost photorealistic !! i decided to purchase the psvr 2 head set only to find that yes the interiors look very detailed and clear and gives you the immersion of being inside the car is great but then when you go out on track well thats where my disappointment began as i have found the whole experience is tainted by blurry vision !! its almost like the same experience that i was unfortunate to find with the first psvr all the hype then the reality vr is still not clear !! i was expecting 4k visuals as thats what is stated on the box but its no where near 4k visuals ? its 2k at best but then blurry ? can anyone advise what im supposed to be seeing or any tips on how to find THE SO CALLED SWEET SPOT !! thanks
Got my psvr 2 but there is way too much mura(dirty screen effect) it destroys the picture completly and alot off reprojection in other games(double images)
Are 3 screen monitors dead now? Can't imagine beating the immersion of VR.
No he’ll be back on screens in a few days/weeks I’m sure. VR is a pain for streaming.
Apart from cockpit view rory what a the graphics out side of the vehicle are they sharp and goo resolution
I agree Rory, this version of the game is "That is"!
It's crazy that when you adjust your seat you'll be able to see the hood of the car.
INDEED, Rory Alexander! ;) :)
As PCVR before, This is not too much new experience. VR in F1 22 and Automobilista are incredible too.
I noticed this is your only GT7 VR2 video (unless I missed one). Can you provide us with a follow up review and thoughts? I would be very interested in what you have to say. I'm still on the fence about it, seems like most people who got the new PSVR2 have never used VR in the past, so...there's a lot of initial shock and awe from the rookies.
I would like to get one but im an acc player even if its on ps5 , wish they make acc work with it but i have little hope. I do have gt7 though… but at 900$ canadian dollar tax in, i dont play gt7 enough
Had someone try mine and they almost threw up lol I’d find a way to try it before spending the money just for GT7 haha I love it though it’s worth it if you can afford it.
top video :) how do you play with DD1 Fanatec compatible ?thanx
Played for the first time myself today. It is amazing, but try the slowest cars first if you feel sick
What’s the headset feel like on, I had the previous generation and although it wasn’t particularly uncomfortable, it wasn’t exactly comfortable either and was a bit heavy to wear.
The immersion is through the roof wow. I want to try this.
Could you see the pedals move too?
Yeah, if we look down, though they are a little bit laggy.
Floor it and the accelerator is gently squeezed
I race in vr all the time now since trying my wifes quest 2 last year since then I have upgraded my pc and just have not appetite to race on a flat screen anymore I race on acc and rf2 via lfm and have a right blast also ams2 is really good in vr
I walked around a bit today in that B n W camera view and it was really disorientating and felt like a had no balance what so ever.
No pedal vibration though for GT7
I'm glad your on it Rory resubed
Was this your first VR experience? I am trying to figure out how much better this is than PCVR with Assetto Corsa. I have the HTC Vive (Gen1 2016 PCVR) and have spent around 400 hours in Assetto Corsa with it. Just trying to figure out the comparison. I don't own a PS5 but this is making me want to buy one.
This is essentially a next gen leap from your HTC Vive + AC.
Double the resolution, HDR, significantly better graphics.
there's a vr specific replay mode...you watch your race from side of the track
How does it compare to assetto corsa on PC with a reverb g2 or Aero?
You enjoyed it then? The directional haptic feedback in the headset is a game changer
I got one and it's insane
Anyone knows how is the input lag/display lag (if any) on the PS VR2 compared to a monitor?
