Excellent review mate, and thanks for the shout out! You're welcome to borrow the PSVR2 again in the future sometime if you want to get that immersion back. Maybe you could ask for one as a Christmas present? :D

Since I have the PSVR2 I cannot imagine playing without it.
It’s like sitting in a car vs staring at a screen.

[derrickscott]

I only bought Ps5 for Gt7 and PSVR2! Was playing on huge flat screen prior and I will NEVER go back to playing ANY game on flat screen let alone GT7. The immersion, sense of speed and distance are unmatched! All my lap times have DRASTICALLY improved as a result of spotting apexes better due to enhanced depth perception. I would say if you’re not playing in VR, you’re not playing the full GT7 experience. Track details and engine sounds in general are sublime. Well worth the quality of life investment and one of the best decisions of my life!

Holding "option" button to reset position is very useful. Neutral position is not always optimal. But you can achieve "adjusting seat position" by holding your head in different position and then hold to reset/recalibrate. By doing this you can move vertical/horizontal inside the car to find the best seat position for every different car.

I totally agree Doughtinator! PSVR2 totally changes the GT7 experience. If I can share a few tips to improve the experience. 1) I have a small fan mounted to my rig so I can “Feel the breeze” when racing, plus helps keep you cool. 2) I always adjust my headset and lenses position in settings menu before I race. 3) I use a VR face mask to absorb any sweat for those endurance races. 4) motion sickness can be mitigated by turning down the brightness level. I absolutely love GT7 + PSVR2 ❤

Quick tip : you can just hold the options button on your wheel to reset neutral position. You don't have to touch the helmet. Also.. FIRST!

I bought gt7 having already got my psvr2 and so it's all I'm used to now. I tried it in 2d and it's awful tbh. VR once your used to it becomes the only type of gaming you ever want to do. This is the pinnacle of gaming for me and I've been gaming since early 80s. The fact that you also get Resident evil games in VR makes the Psvr2 a must have. Sell everything you own and get one today!

I've had my psvr2 for over a year now. The only time I don't use it is for sarthe 700 grinding. Otherwise its on. The experience is incredible and there is no reaction video on youtube that can really encapsulate what it feels like to be immersed in it

[dublindave_]

I have the VR2 about a month and I'm already quicker. A fan blowing on you helps

[Realbraw]

I bought gt7 on a sale to try it out with my psvr2. After less than a hour playing i ordered a steering wheel and stand. Already looking to upgrade to a dd wheel. Absolutely love it. Absolute game changer.

I can't play flat screen after VR it's amazing

[YoannVn]

I play on a 4k oled. I rented a PSVR2 for a weekend, got sick, fought it, felt amazed, enjoyed various cars. Then I gave it back and needed 2 or 3h to adjust back to not feeling distances anymore. In VR lenght, depth feels so natural. Definitely getting my own. It s really hard to explain how good it feels... Great review man.

[rafibros]

Before I watch this video, I would like to say, the PS VR2 made GT7 very hard to play without the immersive experience the VR gives.

[redroverthefngamecat]

FYI: TO RESET YOUR HEAD POSITION without leaving the game view in the headset (and see where your view will be in game):
1. Click the OPTION button to Pause the game.
2. Position your head to where you want the view to switch to.
3. While holding your head in that position, click and HOLD the OPTION button.
4. Now you can select continue and get back to driving.

> You will see the view snap to the new position on screen and SEE where your head placement will be when you continue.

I figured this process out because some of the cars don't have the head position placed even close to where I want it. So, to fix it, I find myself pushing my head forward and craning my head upward or crouching down while resetting in order to get the view correct.

Note: This is the most frustrating part about PSVR2 in GT7 for me. But I feel like it's a small price to pay for such a great, immersive experience. I would never go back. They do need to give us a better option though. They should add the ability to be able to reset the view with a button "while driving".

[DOCable]

If you run a fan and blow air around your face it helps with the motion sickness to

[Nelson_.A]

To reset the neutral position of the headset, press and hold the option button on your controller/wheel. It will still pause the game, but it's faster than using the AR button on the headset.
Do a night time race on Nurburgring!

To me, I love PSVR2 on GT7, but it's one of the few games I enjoy that deeply in VR for PS. I haven't gotten to own one yet, but I used my buddies time to time when we hang out on weekends.

[davidupton]

I have to agree with you that VR changed the game. It’s absolutely amazing to play in VR. It’s become the only way for me to race now. I love it that much.

[ryanwilson]

Might sound silly, but to deal with the weight of the VR head unit, I pretend that I'm wearing a helmet.

[kevinlei]

GT7 in VR is the most defining and game changing moment in my 40 years of gaming! A true masterpiece.
