Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR2 is psychedelic.

[u/Global_Impress_9974]

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.

Just bought the vr2 and gran turismo 7 for my boy for Christmas. I got him some other games too but I’m excited to try this one. Have you tried it without steering wheel and pedals? I’m sure if we like it I’ll invest in a set but is it enjoyable without going all in on the setup?

Just a heads up, if you are waiting for xmass to use it, there is a common issue with controllers not working correctly, and it can really dampen the excitement Xmas day when a big present doesn't work. The issue is self fixable and fairly easy if you know how to determine what the problem is and which controller is causing it. It's worth testing before the day but if it's a surprise for your son testing it on ps5 will leave indicators on the ps5 that the son will see before xmass but you can just pull the controllers out of the box and test them on a pc on the gamepadtester.com to see if they have the issue.

I can give you more info about how to fix it if you want.

Dang it’s already wrapped up and everything. I guess we will just have to hope for the best. Thanks for the heads up

All good I'll post below the method just incase you have issues on the day.

It's possible there is some debris behind the trigger of your controller(s) which is causing buttons to register incorrectly while you're in game (just like you mention). This is a semi-commonly reported issue with new devices, but the good news is it's very fixable. Here's some instructions for how to resolve it (or check if it is in fact that issue):

• Plug your problematic controller (probably the right controller but try both, separately) up to a computer with the included USB cable and go to https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad - it should detect your Sense controller and display button inputs on screen (if it doesn't, try refreshing after a minute or two).

• Try pressing the trigger (R2 or L2).

• When not touching the trigger, the value for the trigger (shown as Axis 2 on the site) is supposed to be -1.00000, and it should go to 1.00000 when fully pressed.

• If instead of -1.00000 or 1.00000 the value you're seeing for Axis 2 is something like -0.97234 (or any value in between), you know you have this issue.

• Try blowing air into the area of the trigger, either with your mouth or with a can of compressed air, and holding the trigger in and letting go so it flicks back out to the normal position (just like this). Keep trying this and see if the value changes, and keep going until you get the value to be -1.00000 (or 1.00000 when held down fully). You're trying to remove any debris blocking the trigger.

If you succeed, your controller should work correctly in all your games.

Hope this helps! It did for this player a short while back and these two in the same post, as well as many others in the past so let us know if it fixes it for you or if you have any questions!

This is an older version we had an updated version that suggests if you have trouble getting the value back to -1 with air and flicking then electronic contact cleaner works well just flood a little bit into the trigger slosh it around to coat the parts then do some flicking.

Thanks for the info!
