Yes, VR can make any game feel like new. For me, it's so hard to play racing games on 2D screens anymore.

Nice! Hope you enjoy it. There is a lot of fun to be had here.

It's a great video by the casual racer. I've got a valve index for my gaming pc and the psvr2. All headsets have their downsides. The psvr2 is a great headset though which compares really well with pcvr headsets. Racing in VR on psvr2 or pcvr is just a pleasure and so much better than flat screen.

Yeah man. It's definitely a full experience that VR takes it to over the top.

What about using the radar for the cars close to you. It's one press of the dpad to the right..... dunno if that's good enough for some of you guys.

Thanks. Chech out my latest vid. It's an online race.

Oh man, you need to find some room for a wheel and pedals.

Thank a lot. Hope you enjoy the headset when you get it.

Interesting take saying it gives you a more realistic experience. Curious what you mean by that.

I've also got an index but it's in storage after moving house. I got ps5 and psvr2 for a more convenient set up. Have to agree, the psvr2 compares extremely well. I think the Oled screens make a huge difference to games. I'm not sure what it is but I suspect it's the enhanced contrast, colours and HDR that makes it feel more realistic. It's hard to put my figure on what exactly it is.

I am enjoying GT7 VR but definitely I am hoping for different flavours of racing like WipEout Omega Collection, Dirt Rally 2 to make it over.

@@BrokenOpus They were fantastic on the original psvr1

@@pmulherin9414 Have to agree that the Oled screens having a wider contrast does make things look more realistic, especially sunlight and car headlights etc

It's a big game in the sense there is a lot to do if you are looking for that type of racing experience.

🤣 I was probably just saying the wrong word but we can blame it on my accent. I'm used to calling it asynchronous warp but I would of botched that one up even worse trying to say it on the fly.

I think a wheel and pedals would be the first best thing for a racing game but that's just me.

💯

Yup, you nailed it. It's just fun!

Thanks

Same game. Not a separate version for PSVR2.

@@thecasualracinggamer Thanks for the info. I am about to get the whole bundle and that information is 5 stars.

I'm bought a Thrustmaster T150 a few years back for my son and at the time had no intention of using it. Fast forward and he doesn't use it and I got into sim racing. 🤣 So I am still using that wheel but have upgraded the pedals to the Thrustmaster T-LCM Load Cells. Will probably upgrade the wheel eventually to a T300 or direct drive but have not really looked into them that much yet.

I tried turning it down but actually prefer the brighter screen and just dealing with other stuff.

​@@thecasualracinggamer did you turn it back up the game? About 75-80% on the headset and exposure and saturation at 100% in the game is a pretty sweet spot 👌glad you are enjoying it. I have kept away from online racing since I have had vr whilst adjusting. As a general rule I get to around 2secs off the fastest qualifying times in around 5laps instead of 20 in 2d now and so much more consistent. So that's great when working full time and trying to compete with people playing this full time for a living. BUT! Shaving 10ths from there is much more difficult in VR so far. I think it's purely down to the realism and natural instinct not wanting to die tbh 🤣 . In 2d you almost go past the limit without a care and work backwards until you can hold on to a corner. I was on the brink of A* rating and you really need to be qualifying top 5 minimum to progress in there and compete with a majority of full timers. Keep up the great work.

Definitely

👍

If they can give us ACC that looks good on PSVR2 that would be amazing. For PC, the VR implementation is terrible.

I think it would definitely improve the game if they got rid of the reprojection and gave us solid frames at a lower Hz.

@@thecasualracinggamer You guys must be playing a different version of GT7 on PSVR2 than I am, as I have yet to see noticeable reprojection issues. Nothing more than PC fanboys gaslighting.

@TravisFury You realize I have nothing to gain by being a PC fanboy. I spent $600 on a PSVR2 headset like anyone else who purchased one. Why would I than make stuff up. Like seriously, it's quite obvious to see when it happens. You see kind of a double image. I am not going to pretend it's not that there. That would just make me a Sony fanboy.

Yup. I have unlocked online now and it's been where I have been racing the most.

@@thecasualracinggamer It’s by far and away the most fun gaming experience I’ve had. The VR is amazing. Can’t wait to see where it all goes in the next few years.

That would be sweet to get F1 2023 on PSVR2!

@@thecasualracinggamer Yeah. Fingers crossed

Yup

That stinks. I have never dealt with motion sickness in VR. I know people say to do small sessions and work your up, stopping each time you feel yourself getting sick but 30 seconds isn't much time to work your way up to anything.

It's unfortunate that thr headset can't do 72Hz. I agree with you thinking they would have a hard time pulling off 90Hz with this game and a PS5. Maybe they will surprise us one day, who knows.

So it's hard for me to tell you if you will get bored or not but this is not a game you would buy just because you want to drive a Lambo around the track. You are going to be racing a huge amount of cars around multiple tracks. There is a lot to keep people engaged. Do you own the game yet? If not, maybe try playing it in 2D first. Then maybe purchase just the headset next or a wheel and pedals next. Go step by step before going all in. Purchase items where you can return in case it's just not for you. For me, driving in VR is next level and I enjoy it years later just as much as I did the first day I tried it.

The best thing about these games are they always get updates that add content. They will be adding new cars and tracks probably for a least 4 or 5 years.

I would hope so in order to give a reason to upgrade. The bad, you will need to spend more money.

@@thecasualracinggamer that's true, love you content, I wish your channel continues to grow 👍

Thank you. 🙏

A lot of things I say here are my opinion and can be subjective but one thing that's fact is, there is a dirty screen look on PSVR2. This is not just me thinking I see something. It's there. As for it being better then the Quest 2, most people making this statement are talking about the Quest 2 as a stand alone headset and not being used with a link cable hooked up to a powerful PC.

@@thecasualracinggamer yes it’s your opinion but there are also a lot of people who disagree with your opinion. The quality of GT7 is top quality. The wording of a dirty screen is very unjustified. But hey that’s my opinion.

And my opinion from someone that has meta quest 2 and plays Iracing. I also have a PSVR2 and GT7 and enjoy both. But I agree with what he is saying,I do get the screen door effect which is what he is calling dirty screen. It isn’t bad enough for me to not use the headset but he is correct and it is there. At least for me, remember we all have different vision…. This headset is expensive and people need to have unbiased views on experience people are having. It is a really good headset but yes it has flaws just as the quest 2 does.

@@thecasualracinggamer List a game on quest 2 tethered to a PC that is better than PSVR2. You can't.

​@@SargeantMorse As someone with a Metaquest 2, a HP Reverb G2 and a pretty decent PC, i think that we need to be clear here and say that PSVR2 "screen door effect" is something that you have to be absolutely looking for in order to spot. The average player is not going to see it in the same way someone who is looking for it is. I have tried almost every VR headset available with the exception of some of the more exotic and expensive headsets (Pico 4 doesn't ship to the US and Best Buy doesn't carry the Pimax headset displays anymore) and every single one of them have the screen door effect if you are looking for it. So the question is not whether the headset or any consumer level headset has it, the question is to what degree is it intrusive enough to affect image quality and that is where I think alot of PSVR2 only people are coming from when they say that "there isn't a dirty screen or screen door effect". For example, on the Metaquest 2 the screen door effect is noticeable.... even if you have it hooked up to a 3090, its noticeable. You don't see it as pronounced as it is in the standalone mode but it is there. My Reverb G2 (the upgrade i got for my PC VR setup) has it, not as bad as the Metaquest 2, but I would put it on par with the PSVR2. When we get into the Metaquest Pro, the HTC ViVe and the Index....they have it but the effect is drastically minimized and these are 1500.00 just for the headset alone. So when we talk about these things in the spectrum of VR we need to be aware that if you are spending 500.00 pr 550.00 for a VR headset.....you are likely going to get a bit of screen door. Is it enough to be unplayable.....NO! Is it enough to be a huge negative.....probably for someone coming from a much more expensive headset.....but if you are on a Metaquest 2 headset..... perhaps not so much....I have seen the Metaquest 2 hooked up to a 4090 and the image quality is not what I would call at the level of my PS5 + PSVR2 on the same games, and without mods there isn't a sim racing game on PC that looks as good as GT7 (my subjective opinion). While I wouldn't say that PC + Metaquest 2 is a bad experience, we have to acknowledge that the Metaquest 2 maximum resolution output is 1832x1920 per eye and the PC (no matter how powerful) is just downscaling to that screen. The clarity between that and the 2000x 2040 per eye is noticeable especially when we discuss the screen door effect which is caused by not having enough pixels to completely fill in the screen when the image is projected into 3d.

🙏

I just pound the X button a lot as fast as I can. 😂

Try not to switch it on and then immediately start looking for the negatives, you'll start overthinking and ruin your first session. I've now tried 4 PSVR2 headsets and only 1 had a serious Mura effect that was hard to ignore.

Bad? The image isn't bad at all ... don't fall for mura hype ... it isn't that bad. After a few sessions you won't even notice it anymore. Especially when speeding down Spa in heavy downpour :) . You'll love it, you'll see. I know, I do

The image definitely isn't bad and I think anyone using the headset with GT7 is going to have a great racing experience. As someone reviewing the headset, I like to make sure I cover everything good or bad that I see. It doesn't mean the product is bad overall but I also don't want to pretend it's perfect. I would still recommend the headset but also wanted to make it clear for those who already use good PCVR headsets that they would not be blown away by it like some reviewers would make you believe.

@@thecasualracinggamer oh, I wasn’t implying that you said it looks bad. Just my own experience with psvr2 has not been great. Main downside 1 incredible motion sickness that comes on, within minutes. I’m instantly hot, sweaty, dizzy and feel very sick and it’s making me not want to even put headset on. 2 disappointing image quality I played a little of resident evil village, this afternoon and I had to keep stoping, every 5-10mins because motion sickness and I just feel bummed out and I didn’t even bother setting up my g29 wheel and brand new copy of gt7. I mean when I do set it up, if I get motion sickness, within minutes, it won’t even be worth playing. I must have played 1 hour total, today and I just DO NOT want to feel like shit and will leave it, for now. Although, I keep trying to push through, go through hell and then literally am too anxious to put the thing back on and go 2-4 days without play and I’m just unsure if doing this, will make my motion sickness, stay with me because I keep taking a few days break. Like, I really wanted to buy this DJ controller that plugs into laptop, a small pair of speakers, cheap laptop and an amp. All this would cost around £800 and I spent over £700 on psvr2 and games and I just feel like an idiot. Because I can’t use the damn thing for more then few mins. Anyway, I’m just rambling now. 😩

That stinks! Hope you can get through it and be able to enjoy what VR brings to the table. I would definitely do shorter sessions and quite before you start feeling sick. Then try and work you way up. I also think games where you stand and move around might be worse then games where you would be seated.

Whatcha got?

Oh...be careful with that. 🤣

No stupid questions here. A spotter would be telling you where other cars around you are. For example they would say, car on the inside so you would know not to go down.

@@thecasualracinggamer ahh right. Thank you🙂

Yeh had no idea what spotter meant either and instead of explaining what this was it was repeated many times lol

👍

I've tried it. I personally like to have the info viewable.

Yup. I can't really play any 2D racers anymore since switching to VR.

I don't think you get the immersion from the wheel as much as it helps complete the immersion. A great wheel on a flat screen will never make you feel like your in the actual car.

IMHO, immersion isn't just what you see; it's also what you feel. PSVR2 changes the game from a visual standpoint, but upgrading the wheel will change the "feeling" of fidelity in the game. Feeling the road surface, the engine , the tires slide, the curbs, the grass, the rwd vs. fwd of the cars is just as important to me.

Have to disagree. Vr is truly next level in terms of realism. You are actually sat in the car in full stereoscopic 3d. Everything is to full life scale. You can only see the inside of the car and the track around you, not your living room. VR is a game changer.

LOL

I'm not telling people to go to PS5 over PC and even though on paper PSVR2 is a higher spec headset the Quest 2 often can look better in sharpness and clarity. My point here is if you like GT7 as a racing game and own a PS5 already, the headset is worth it to play the game in VR. You will get use of the headset for the next few years just for GT7 alone. If you want a true hardcore sim, then yes a PC is the way to go but be prepared to spend twice the amount of the money. Not everyone can afford that.

Yup, thanks. I created my own word for the tech. 😁

@@thecasualracinggamer good video though!👍

Sony fanboys: psvr2 output @4k, clarity better than varjo aero, HDR, perfect black, Foveated rendering to 120fps butter smooth, better optimization on PS5 easy to beat PCVR with 4090, plus haptic feedback, blurry? you must be wearing it wrong, ghosting? wait for day one patch, restore ps5 to default and reinstall the game again, If your faith is strong enough you'll see perfect image😂😂😂

LOL. All kidding aside, I don't need to justify the purchase to my wife. Also, this assumes people can actual afford the headset. Without a doubt I think a single good racing game justifies the purchase of a VR headset over 15 VR games of other genres that once you beat them you won't ever play it again. GT7 has a replay value that will keep you coming back for a long time. To me, the bottom line is will this 1 game give you enough gameplay to keep you using the headset for the next year or so. That is more important then if there are 30 other VR games available that you will never play.

So if i don't have a PC.....the price of admission to PC VR is at least 1500.00 for a decent VR capable PC and then another 400.00 for a Quest 2 and i haven't even gotten into taxes and we are talking well over 2000.00 to play racing games that don't look as good as GT7, and play these games on a headset that isn't as good as the PSVR2..... Sounds to me like someone is trying to justify why they don't have a PS5 and PSVR2 just for GT7.

@@corey_massey Exactly

@Corey Massey Sounds to me like you're trying to justify the ps5 vr... but a PC will always give you more for your dollar, not to mention there's so much more available on pc vr. Buy whatever you want. Just know with psvr2 you're locked into a system that can never be updated. I have the original psvr, it sits and gathers dust because the PC far surpassed it years ago and there is no way to upgrade it. Same will happen for the psvr2.

@@tensix5481 Not like this bruh...not like this. Please tell me how you intend to upgrade a Metaquest 2 1832x1920 per eye resolution? When a device is no longer supported its usefulness is done, the funny thing is....there were games releasing on PSVR1 all the way upto PSVR2 release so all that talk of a headset collecting dust is either you upgraded (meaning that you brought a newer better headset) or you don't follow or play VR games like that and your headset is collecting dust from lack of use. If you brought a newer headset then your point about upgrading on PC VR is stupid because thats the exact same thing people are going to do when a PSVR3 comes....they are just going to buy the newer, better headset. If your PSVR1 headset is collecting dust because you don't follow or play VR games like that then sounds like you shouldn't be out here talking about PC VR is better, you should be investing in a newer better headset because there much better headsets out there than a PSVR1.

Can't argue with your opinion but can you give more detailed info on your experience with the game and PSVR2 and why you say this.
