The Gran Turismo series has had a lot of milestones over its 25-year history, but the anticipation surrounding Gran Turismo 7's free launch-day support for PSVR 2 is reaching hype levels not seen in quite some time, if ever. Kazunori Yamauchi feels it, too.

Psychological horror MADiSON VR from Bloodious Games and Perp Games is finally coming to PSVR 2 and PCVR this May.
yeah, we haven't heard this before :P
that being said, let's hope this time the release date finally sticks. Looking forward to playing this in VR.
From the devs regarding the last delay. 120 FPS native with high quality shadows.
"Our ambition is to create a realistic and daunting atmosphere with MADiSON VR. And we achieved this through realistic real-time lighting and shadows. These elements heavily utilise the CPU on all
platforms. To make this possible in VR, we use a technique called "Single-Pass Rendering" so that resource- heavy operations are only done once per frame. Unfortunately, our use of this previously precluded us from also using the eye-tracked dynamic foveated rendering (DFR) feature on PSVR 2, as the Unity PSVR 2 implementation had a known issue with this combination. Without DFR, it would have only been possible to release using the 60/120 (interpolation) mode, which worked adequately, however we always felt fell a little short of the quality we were striving for. As of 22nd March Unity's new SDK-now opens up DFR and by extension the possibility to hit the gohz mode. A last minute
improvement we simply can't ignore."
Unity fixing this issue is good news for PSVR2 in general.
The developer of Garry's Mod has announced it is in the process of removing all Nintendo-related content from Steam Workshop after receiving a takedown request from Nintendo.
"it’s pretty historically significant that a full-spec racing game is now playable in VR"
Project Cars 2 doesn't count?
indeed it is, 4k hdr, oled , ultra fast framerate, best racing game outhere , and literally full GT7 game in VR?, so yes it is an insta-WIN!, and the average consumer is in reach to get all this even thou with the PSVR2 price tag, no need to spend thousands and thousands of dlls to have such an awesome experience like in PC, and also hassle free from configurations.
This game in VR is a great experience.
I would say that the historical part is Sony finally giving ppl a true AAA VR experience from one of their top franchises and most importantly at launch.
Not a spin-off story
Not a game from the previous generation
Not a side project from an obscure IP
That's a win in my book.
Of course. Sony's biggest franchise delivering high fidelity VR to consoles. That's nothing but 💯 win. If they bring other Sony in-house franchises to VR, that's going to be sick.
Start the dreaming. Ape escape, Rachet and Clank, Siren, GOW, Killzone, Resistance.. I mean damn. Sony's got Sony many franchises that it could be amazing to see.
But good on Kaz and team bringing GT7 to the next level. Maybe it'll get other top racers to join the party.
