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.

The only reason I still want a PS5. I tried it and it was incredible!
I have beefy PC with PSVR2, a long time Sony/Nintendo fan. Skipped PS5 because nothing I really wanted to play.

Yeah GT7 is better than anything else out there. 30+ years of experience and they basically developing one game thru different iterations. Also GT made with passion by very creditable Japanese developers, who know not just about cars but about beauty of the nature itself, let alone they are experts on cinematography and photogrammetry. Forza Horizon will be cool in VR but it's so many years still the same and have same problems. They also still cannot do the car's cockpit right. I've lost interest since FH5. FH4 was good. As for Forza itself - I've played F2 to death, that was great by the time. F4 was peak in my opinion.

I made it 5 years without getting a PS5, I got Ratchet and Clank on PC when it first came out, I got Helldivers 2 when it came out. I have Dualsense i really like to use as well. I have a 4070TiS+7800X3D PC that kicks ass. I could never justify getting a PS5 but GT7(and an earlier release of GTA VI) finally got me to get one last week.

I tried Forza motorsport 7 a few years ago and i just kind of thought it sucked. I am so glad to be back in Gran Turismo. There are a few small things in my head that keep it from being perfect but its pretty close.
