Not sure if this belongs here or in the Video Game thread, but the embargo on Gran Turismo 7 on the PSVR 2 lifted, and the impressions are making the 3 week wait a lot more painful.
A few outlets are reporting similar findings:
- Full game minus split screen
- No noticeable graphic drop (which is wild considering it's almost one of the nicest games I've seen)
- Very-little-to-no motion sickness (insane for a racing game)
- This guy in particular in the video below typically annoys me for how negative he is on most things.
Coming up for air after a day with the PSVR 2. If you had other headsets than the PSVR, this leap may not feel as big, but as somebody who's only ever used the original, this is pure bliss. They eye tracking is so good it's barely noticeable, the controllers track and feel amazing, and the single cable design is a vacation compared to the rat's nest that was PSVR.
Only downside I can really point to is that the movement in the games has increased along with the tech, so the motion sickness seems to still be a thing. I was hoping we could get further past that, but it seems to still be an issue. Starting to take the issue more seriously, as before I mostly blamed PSVR's lack of horsepower.
Gran Turismo is a masterpiece, and I'm excited to dig into horizon tonight.
I played GT7 yesterday, it was pretty good, but unfortunately, I could only do about 10 minutes before the motion sickness kicked in. This was my first racing VR experience, so I'm not sure if I can handle it TBH, which which is too bad as it's really fun.
I didn't have any motion sickness with other games thankfully. Call of the Mountain is visually a huge leap compared to PSVR1's games. I'm excited to try new puzzle games in the future.

Super dorky, but I would play the hell out of a "the room" type VR game
Had my Gran Turismo superfan buddy over last night to try it out and I legitimately had to boot him out once I had to go to bed. He felt motion sickness in other games, but for whatever reason, he could play GT7 for hours. His review was that it's the greatest GT experience he's had in 25 years.

I can't believe how fun Pavlov on PSVR 2 is. I know PCVR people have had it for years, but what a cool little game. To finally be able to shoot a sniper rifle in VR is one of my great joys.

Is that multiplayer only? I'm not much of a multiplayer fan even for non-VR stuff.

I'm in the same boat. There are offline modes, and they could be great, but they aren't.
Zombie mode is very cool, but the zombies are 28 Days Later zombies, so they run and it's equally terrifying and difficult (I've never gotten to wave 4).
You can play various modes against bots, but they're mostly just target practice. They putter around aimlessly and sometimes won't even shoot at you.
The target range is pretty cool as far as target ranges go. You can set up little mini games and stuff, but again it's pretty shallow.
So multiplayer is where it's at for this one. I'm like you, not a big multiplayer guy, but that said I'm having a blast.

Interested to see Apple's device which has been speculated to be unveiled this month...not sure if that will happen but hopefully!
Not the biggest apple fan, but have to admit that they are amazing at taking a concept and refining it superbly. Could really help more mainstream adoption too!
PSVR 2 is such a huge improvement on PSVR...it's crazy. I took advantage of the Gamestop trade in deals they had and it was worth it.
I've only tried Gran Turismo 7 and the Star Wars, Horizon, and NFL Pro Demos but they are great.
All the chatter was about Gran Turismo 7 but I actually thought Star Wars, and Horizon were the more "Woah" experiences for me.
Star Wars Demo especially really felt like you were using a Blaster and were in the Star Wars universe.
Also in NFL Pro Demo I fumbled the ball and panicked and tried to rush over to bend over to pick it up and crashed into my wall lol. Don't think the original PSVR ever felt that immersive.

I actually had to return my PSVR2. Had nothing but problems with it....blurry screen...controllers that wouldn't work. It seems some people got working models but I guess I wasn't so lucky. I've bought release day PS products for years so there being problems wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately they have made the return process fairly painful and ability to get a hold of them non-existent.
I may try it again but its going to be quite a ways down the road.
I’ve been tempted to jump in lately, but I think I’ll hold off on pulling the trigger until this upcoming PlayStation showcase. You have to think they will have some type of VR content to announce right?
The game selection just looks so arcadey to me save for a couple of the big hitters.
