Why Did Gran Turismo 7 ABANDON PSVR2?

100% spot on... literally did nothing for vr since the initial release. Not even quality of life features. Needs Vr only lobbies ( even if you have to wait to que) Needs to have fov adjustment. Many cars the seating positsion is wrong. So you have to sit in a certain position until vr kicks in. How they do not allough you to adjust your position blows my mind. 😂 Need more driver info like you said. Head tracking would be great. ( especially in vr lobbies) Update to the visuals to improve clarity would be great ( although this might require ps5 pro) I literally only use my psvr2 for gt7. As much as L love it when I use it, its getting more and more difficult to keep hold of it and not sell it. Especially as this vr implementation feels more like a alpha test rather than an actual retail product. Its a competitive game and they remove features to make it less competitive yet force you into lobbies where them drivers have more data than you. Its not right.

Clickbait vr2 takes the game to the next level.

What you talking about? I play GT7 on PSVR2 daily for my grind. It is glorious 🎉

I 100% agree with all these points [EDIT: minus the clickbaity title 😆]. I’d also add one little thing: Let us rev the engine in VR Showroom.

I absolutely love playing GT7 in VR, it’s actually the only way I play it now, but agree it makes Sport mode harder for sure, especially if the radar is way out of your peripheral vision. One main thing that’s always annoyed me with it is the sudden jump to VR after 3, 2, 1, race start. I wish they’d add a FULL VR UI for the game, like the main menu on a big flat screen just feels cheap; at the very least, let me sit in the car during auto drive at the start, and also in the pit lane, so the camera position doesn’t shift on pit lane exit if you’re not sitting perfectly centred. So much more potential, but I don’t wanna complain too hard, as it’s generally a fun experience. Made me buy a sim rig! Haha.

It's the only way I play these days. I think driving in VR with my Pro racing wheel set-up is so immersive and game-changing, so much so that I only play Gran turismo now, I can't remember the last time I played ACC or Assetto corsa, and this is 100% because they don't support VR on console. I don't care that I am most likely slower than I was when using my tv... I feel faster and more in control somehow 😅

VR is the only way I enjoy playing GT7....

Since I’m playing Gt7 with Psvr2 there’s no return to monitor mode for me! The feeling with all these different cockpits and the overall immersion in combination with a rig/wheel is absolutely fantastic - I hope PD are going to realize the massive potential and will continue improving… thanks for the report Kireth 👍

I love PSVR 2, but its really need an update.

Any source where they say they "abandon" PSVR2?

bro i hope they add all these ideas in gt7 if not then gt8

Also the view should bank with the car in the turns. When you go around a high banked turn, the VR view stays up and down and does not lean with the car, really takes you out of the experience.

They need to make VR only lobbies (get auto booted if unplugged) or add the data we need in VR view. I really dont understand why they don't just add this, sounds pretty minor given the other updates they do. PSVR2 in GT7 is a total game changer, I've had PSVR since launch and I no longer play GT7 2D, the VR is so good

100% VR for me was transformative. The initial GT7 VR experience was so strong that flat screen racing is just not appealing for me any longer. I invested in a top of the line PC and Pimax Crystal just to have more VR options. It's too bad too, because the initial VR release was strong. You got an incredible immersive experience without the sometimes tedious process on PC getting VR to work properly. Hell, you could take the headset off and shut it off mid race and have the game go seamlessly into 2D mode. But after over a year, no updates for the VR version of the game. Considering all the work PD did for the VR version, I think update to the HUD and all the numerous ideas you suggested should have been quite manageable. There was a real opportunity here, sim racing and flight sim are really the two best implementations for VR, and putting extra effort into the process is how VR gets elevated out of niche. If you make the experience something you aren't willing to ignore, more people get on board which makes it more accessible and more cost effective down the road. Let's hope even if Sony won't invest the time, others will. I know I can't go back. I just finally got my Crystal and AC dialed in last night, and spent 3 hours going around Bathurst in my 911 RSR night to day with variable weather. Could not stop smiling.

Bud... You have become a negative Nanny... Please go back to being happy and fun

Nice misleading click-bait thumbnail title. Well done, you got me. GREAT suggestions, but bogus subject. Do better.

Why can't we have an option to adjust the seat height and position in VR? Ok, there is a way to hack it, but it's really annoying how it resets after a pit stop

You can see your feet as much as you would in a real car if you want to look down and die. Just add a couple of bass shakers and SIM hub and you get all the feedback you need and its not expensive if you shop around.. i have 4 but one in the back of the seat on braking set up right gives you plenty of brake pressure feedback.. only thing we need is position/ timing to other cars in race, all the rest would on screen would ruin the emersion... In my opinion..

I totally agree with these points especially the lack of information during a race. That said, its been a game changer for me! I absolutely love it and hope that these small issues will be addressed in the not too distant future!

It would be sick if they would implement a pit crew that told you info about your car and the race as you go. So you would know when to pit and other valuable information. It would be incredible if they would add voice prompts so you could ask your pit crew this info at anytime during the race. GT7 is my favorite vr racer of all time. So much content right at your fingertips with no modding for tinkering.
