Gran Turismo 7's Glitzy Free PSVR2 Upgrade Adds VR Showroom Mode

This will be pretty cool to get an up close and personal look of cars I'm never going to be near in real life. I've been watching some of the previews on YouTube the last day or so and the game looks absolutely stunning in VR.

@get2sammyb are you guys getting a review unit?

Anyone know if this can be played in 3rd person view in VR ??

I doubt many players will spend much time using this but it sounds like a cool "attraction mode" for demo kiosks or just introducing friends and family to VR in a relatable, accessible way, just to kick some tires, literally, without strapping them in for 100mph motion and getting the buckets ready.

@Dobbos I'm pretty sure you could in both Driveclub and GT Sport in VR, so I'd imagine so

These next few weeks are going to be brutal. Haha. I can’t wait to jump into this. It all sounds amazing.

Thanks sure hope so as I think it might help with my motion sickness.

I always like to check out the interior of newly acquired cars in the game now, so this will be a really nice feature.

This is exactly what I was hoping for and half expecting actually. Good news.

@Dobbos
I'm not sure about the 3rd person view, can't remember if it was there in GT Sport but in a recent interview on Famitsu with the creator of GT, Kaz Yamauchi he mentions how GT7 was developed from the start with VR in mind, and not just a conversion from the flat game and how they have tried to reduce motion sickness (though the site translation refers to it as the 'drunk' feeling!)
Some of the relevant parts quoted below:
"The resolution of the original PS VR machine was low, so even if it was properly rendered, we couldn't solve the problems of motion sickness caused by the resolution and the unnaturalness of distant objects being unclear.

　This time, the resolution of the head-mounted display panel and the power of the PS5 have improved the drawing ability, and it has become possible to solve it. In addition to being able to output 60fps at normal times, panning and tilting can also be rendered at 120fps with reprojection, greatly improving image quality.

　Also, I no longer get drunk. Driving continuously for 30 minutes or an hour was unthinkable before, but with the combination of PS VR2 and " GT7 ", such play is now possible."

@Gooseman42 thanks for that. Looks like I might get psvr2. I hope it comes with a sick bucket 😉😉

@Dobbos There's loads of advice on reducing it, which appreciate you may have tried. Main one is though if the feeling starts to come on then step away and not try to push through it! Take sessions gradually and work up to longer sessions.
Oh and eat ginger nuts beforehand, I call them VR biscuits!

Great will read . I never tried VR except for about 30 seconds in a Samsung phone shop about 3 years ago. A mobile phone strapped to my face. I found it impressive.

@Dobbos if you found that impressive, actual VR will blow your our mind. Even boring mundane tasks are fun in VR. Haha.

@MrSwitch sorry dude but s.h.i.t. on that 50bucks tbh. Only one life left

@Dobbos I'm pretty sure it's cockpit view only. Which makes perfect sense, if you ask me.

My hype for GT7 VR is stratospheric

Hi all. Breathe air in. (God created all things. His son, Jesus, died to forgive us of all wrong doing via his unbreakable red blood. He rose to life 3 days later.)
