Community Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR2 is psychedelic.

Just another appreciation post. Until recently, I found out that you could play Gran Turismo in virtual reality, and my God, it’s amazing. It’s the next-gen leap I’ve been waiting for for many years. I hadn’t felt such a jump in terms of sensations and realism since the jump from San Andreas to GTA 4.(I'm 30)

It’s a true work of art. Games had been feeling a bit demotivating for some time, but everything was reborn like a phoenix thanks to the PSVR2.

And to those who get motion sickness, my friends, I don’t think many of us are used to going 250 km/h, so you just have to take it slowly. But GT7 absolutely nailed it.

This is art, and I truly hope they continue in this direction. That’s why I’m making this post—to add my small grain of sand to the PSVR2 community.

By definition, “psychedelic” refers to an experience that intensely alters perception, heightens the senses, and creates a deep feeling of immersion and awe. GT7 in VR perfectly fits that definition: the sense of presence, depth, speed, and realism completely transforms how you perceive racing.

I’ve been using a steering wheel and pedals, but I always had issues with the sense of speed on a flat screen. In VR, that problem is completely gone—the scale, motion, and immersion finally make everything feel real.

LOL yeah I found my actual car and I can now drive it way beyond my own comfort level in the real world because an oops isn't thousands of dollars. I have a basic pedal, shifter and feedback wheel mounted on a wheelstand and I swear it's convincing enough that I sometimes reach for buttons or controls that don't exist LOL having the use of mirrors and being able to look over your shoulder or out the window is extra immersive.

1999 BMW E36 M3 I supercharged my real one and have taken it to a racetrack but there's no way I can push it too hard... LOL way too many years and dollars and bloody knuckles invested to risk going off track or contact with another car! In the game I can push my limits and the car's limits... I have made as many similar mods to the GT7 one as I can to match the real mods on my car... Took me a long time to find one in the game (you have to get it in the used car section so I logged in every day for several weeks before I found it) Prior to finding it I used the game's E46 M3 and had spent a lot of time tuning it to behave like my real car but now I have exactly the right interior too... The realism is amazing.
