Gran Turismo 7 VR Review - IGN

The same amazing simulation-focused racer elevated by VR in unexpected ways.

SullysCigar791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Okay, I gotta say, it's so nice to hear IGN say this. I always find their VR game appraisals stilted, even when they score them highly.

Not this time, clearly! It seems to me they might finally be ready to admit VR is a game changer and can be the best way to play a game. Certainly, with GT7 that has been my experience - it's mind blowing.

"Rearview mirrors and other reference points provide a strong sense of how your vehicle handles, and I imagine it’s even more grounding if you have a fancy steering wheel setup."

He was that impressed just playing with the DualSense.

Kurt Russell790d ago

I own a wheel. I quiet often still play this in VR with the pad. Their pad support is really good.

darthv72791d ago

I just need me a good wheel and my journey towards the dark side will be complete... lol

Bathyj791d ago

Only token whinges.
You can't play with every button on the dash. No hand brake animation.

This is the most I've loved GT since GT3.

UltimateOwnage791d ago

lol @ VR haters slamming disagree.

Mr_cheese791d ago

I don't think they're slamming because they hate VR, it's because its Obscurer which is a shame because he has a valid point

BehindTheRows790d ago

It definitely isn't the VR they're downvoting. :P

MaximusPrime_791d ago

I played this and Kayak VR. Both mind-blowing. Sony and Polyphony got it right. It seems Gran Turismo and VR is made for each other.

Aloymetal791d ago

Hell yes, Kayak is just incredible!

Leeroyw790d ago

If I buy it I'll want a game for my kids. Kayak that good you think?

Epicor790d ago

I wouldn't get my expectations too high. Kayak is absolutely beautiful and a nice showcase for PSVR2. But it's hardly a game that you come back to after the initial wow-moment wears off. It's easy to pick up but there is not that much content in it. It's not very game-like. Out of these two I would absolutely without a doubt get GT7. At least my 8 year old got bored with Kayak Miarage really quickly. But he loves Horizon COTM (which I personally find kinda boring). My favourite games by far are GT7 and Pistol Whip.

crazyCoconuts791d ago

I'm glad to be going through GT7 for the first time in VR. I'm amazed at the car centric culture of this game. Such an appreciation and love for the history of cars... I'm learning a lot along the way.
And with the license tests it's like you're becoming an actual better driver after playing the game.
Other games I've played I too often win by shunting AI cars off the track, bouncing off of them on my turns, etc. Here I am inclined to make it through a race without a single bump.

cheetah791d ago

PSVR2 gets better the longer I have it. I finally feel like the tech has reached the point where gaming on it feels like a whole new experience. Keep think about it during the day and how I am going to make time to use it in the evening.

Babadook7790d ago (Edited 790d ago )

It gets better each day for me too. There is already a lot of software that provides an extremely satisfying experience, (GT7 RE8, CotM). The ease of setup and ease of storage make it so much more accessible that gen 1.

The Aston Martin Vintage?

Does the senior product manager not proofread?

Wish they'd put a couple of endurance races in. Every time there's an update I have the cars and the events finished in 30 mins

"The next-generation racing AI agent, Gran Turismo Sophy has evolved into “GT Sophy 2.1” and is now available in ‘Custom Race’ (PS5 version only)

This should be fun to play with.
