The same amazing simulation-focused racer elevated by VR in unexpected ways.
Fanatec just released a steering wheel inspired by a concept car that should be familiar to fans of Gran Turismo 7, the Porsche Vision GT.
With the Spec II update released on November 2, a new version of the remarkable AI (Artificial Intelligence) racing technology, Gran Turismo Sophy, has officially become available to play on Gran Turismo 7 (PS5 console only). The innovative next-gen race program, called Gran Turismo Sophy 2.0, was developed by Polyphony Digital, in collaboration with Sony AI.
Featuring three new cars, extra Café Menu, World Circuit Events, GT Sophy AI update, and more.
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)
‘GT Sophy’ can now be selected as the rival AI in Custom Race on all GT Sophy supported tracks and layouts in World Circuits."
This should be fun to play with.
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.
Essential Upgrade
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.
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.
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.
