Took the plunge with vr 2 after it received fantastic reviews. Headset arrived within a few days, was nice and simple to set up, jumped on Gt7 to see what all the fuss was about, and I will say this. It is a level of immersion I was not prepared for in any way. I don't know what the hell I was expecting from vr, I had no idea. Figured I'd pick it up for a casual bit of fun with my son every now and then. I was dead, dead wrong.

I was sceptical at first as the headset is a lot of money but WOW was I impressed. MIND literally BLOWN. I have had some experience with vr on Assetto Corso with my friends set up and wasn't expecting the PSVR2 to be as good but how I was wrong. What an experience this offers. It's as close to real life racing you can get. I would say if you really love cars and driving games this is a must have. See you on the track!

I just got mine day before yesterday, and it's the first VR I've ever used. I make sure to acclimate myself by looking at a car in the showroom/garage in VR for a minute before going into a race. I haven't had any problems with motion sickness at all doing it that way. That being said, all the reviews and videos on GT7 in VR don't do it justice. I had no idea VR was as good as this is, or I wouldn't have waited this long to try it. GT7 on a controller/flat screen vs GT7 with a DD wheel and VR aren't even in the same galaxy as far as experiences go.

Has anyone ever tried GT7, with the PSVR2 while being pissed drunk? 🍺…. That would be epic!

Great review. I got psvr2 mainly for GT7 and its worth every penny to me. I've also got an Index for my pc and think the psvr2 compares really well and excels in so many ways. Driving in VR revolutionary. Like you say it's like a different game, your real driving instincts kick in, like having to check your mirrors with head or eye movements and using real 3d spatial awareness to overtake. Everything looks amazing inside the car in life size scale in full 3d and I love the way you can feel the change in elevation in the tracks. Being able to look into the corners is a game changer as well. As you can tell I'm in love with VR racing! There is hundreds of hours of entertainment in VR on this game. By the way having a fan blowing on you while you drive can be a great help with motion sickness. It also adds to the immersion in open cockpit cars. Enjoy and keep up the great videos.

Hi I said I would be back when I have psvr2. It amazing I can't believe my eyes when I came out of the pits and seen the vr for the first time it feels almost real. I think i spend more time now swapping cars just to look around inside. I am now alot faster on most tracks. Thank you so much for making my mind up on vr. My advice to anyone thinking of getting vr don't think anymore just get it. If I had to pay £1000 for vr I would it's the best thing since oxygen. Thanks again rob I will be watching all your reviews from now. All the best pal Ian westmoreland

The VR showroom feature is absolutely mind-blowing as well, I am not exaggerating when I say it sometimes feels like actually seeing a real car in front of you.

Just came here to say that's the best flipping sim rig I've ever seen ❤ OutRun

If you suffer from motion sickness try moving around as you play the game ie.lean to your left as you turn left and lean right as you turn right. This has helped some friends who suffer from it. I never thought i would be able to play vr as I suffered from bad motion sickness but now I can play VR for hours on end with no problems,longest session is 13 hours on firewall.

another good vid. lovely to see you play this.

Thanks for your review you have made my mind up I will let you know what I think i will buy and reply in the next few weeks

thanks man. such a good review

What the????.....YT algorithm brought me here and boy am i glad it did. I'm getting me 80/20 alu profile sim rig done really soon and i'd thought its the coolest sim rig out there....till i saw Honest Rob's rig. How he made me wished i had really paid attention during shop lessons back in school. Now my wish is i can find someone here with the skills to cover my upcoming rig to look like an arcade machine. Great work Honest Rob. Now excuse me while i go check out your other cool vids. 😁

hey a fan blowing at you while racing helps motion sickness and adds immersion 😅

Good genuine review

Welcome to high quality VR. Glad you are here..

The Blurriness on the outer edges of your peripheral is by design. Its a way to keep your FPS high on your focal point.

what is the wheel you using there?

To stave off motion sickness you need to be conscious of how much you are looking around. I find that I get motion sick when I move my head around an unnatural amount.

I've had quest2, quest pro, pico 4 and psvr2 (and dji avata headset which was terrible). I can not agree that quest 2 is clearer than psvr2...psvr2 WHEN SET CORRECTLY (!) is miles ahead clearer than quest 2. It is almost as clear as quest pro. So either you have a faulty unit or it is not set correctly on your forehead

@13.40 You seem to suggest that the viewpoint has to be in the cockpit. That is not true. In games like Project Cars 2 (pc) in VR you can use a chase camera view and it works exceptionally well. That is how I choose to play. I don`t really like the restricted view even if it is more realistic. In general 3rd person games are really good in VR , its just a different type of experience. Hellblade Senua Sacrifice is probably the best example.

I've been VR racing for about 2 years now with a pretty well built up PC rig. It has spoiled my experience in a good way as it's the only way I race now (with the exception of old arcade racers). I would agree, visuals are probably a generation or two behind if you directly compare it to a current gen console on a flat screen (Oled 4k HDR, etc). However, the immersion level of 3D makes up for it by giving you the true cockpit experience. I used to struggle using a cockpit view on a flat panel because your field of view of the actual road is consumed by the interior. Meanwhile in VR you can gauge road depth, see out all windshields naturally, and the side mirrors feel more functional since they're at scale as well. I haven't tried the PS5+VR2 yet but I'm curious with the foveated rendering (blurry on areas where your eyes aren't looking to help performance). I would consider a PS5 mainly for VR racing if its as good or better than what I can currently get on a PC.

You should always go into the VR settings Every time you use it, so it’s perfectly calibrated

Next we'll have to see a 24hr Le Mans race 😂 jk

i cant see much difference to it
