I honestly think PSVR2 takes GT7 from a great racing game to something completely different. The sense of presence is what changes everything. You’re no longer looking AT a car on a track — you’re sitting IN the cockpit, judging corners with real depth perception, feeling elevation changes and camber in a way that a flat screen just can’t convey.
Cars themselves become works of art. In VR I notice stitching on the seats, reflections on the dash, the way the mirrors actually feel usable. The VR showrooms make my garage feel alive — suddenly I want to revisit cars I’d forgotten about just to sit in them. I swivel around to view the whole interior, and “fly” around the outside, peering into the engine bays of cars which expose them. Even the humble MX5 becomes a delight -
The Miura is sublime:-
First thing I do when a new offering appears in the Legends shop or the Used Car place is to "walk" around it, "fly" over it, peer into it, peer under it, sit in it, study the gauges, swivel around and peer at the doors, roof, back seat (if it has one). I have bought expensive cars simply based on such inspections.
Tracks are reborn too. Night races feel atmospheric, weather shifts are dramatic, even grandstands and trees give a real sense of scale. Everything feels bigger and more convincing. Tracks which were previously “meh” have gained “personality” for me, and I no longer avoid them. Despite learning to drive on dirt roads, some of which were as bad as Fisherman's Ranch, I just could NOT get to like dirt driving ... until PSVR2! Now I can feel where the car is in space and anticipate its dynamic impacts with the terrain
The immersion is so strong it’s tough to ever go back to flat TV. In fact, since switching to PSVR2 for GT7 about a year ago, I find I rarely play any other games. I'm neglecting Tamriel and Japan
Thanks for sharing my joy.
