here's a tip before reviewers review a ps3 game:

1. remove the hate in your mind.
2. don't look at the cheque signed by microsoft.
3. immersed and review the ps3 exclusive.

Convas4953d ago (Edited 4953d ago )

LOL @ Number Two. You mean to tell me that MS sent a check to them so they could take points off of the review?

Oi. I'm not sure it gets anymore ridiculous than this.

Game-ur4953d ago

MS was buying the media LOOOOONG before the original Xbox, you will understand more of the world as you grow up.

Shaman4953d ago

Yea Im sure they do,same like they did with AW :S

You guys are paranoid fanboys,thats new sort...

GrandTheftZamboni4953d ago

It's no secret MS had $500 million for Kinect marketing alone. If you want a piece of that you better be in their good book. No?

DigitalAnalog4953d ago

And takes in to details extra features and most of all.

DAMAGE!

-End of Line

Longrod_Von_Hugendon4953d ago

So the majority of the reviews that have been coming out lately are scoring GT5 at 9 or above. So the only question I have, is where are all the haters now? lol

Acquiescence4953d ago

will be delighted to see this review.

the only racing game I really got into before GT5 was Burnout:Paradise. GT5 feels like such a complete package, it looks beautiful, and the gameplay is so addictive, I love the license tests. So if anyone is on the fence about GT5, I say jump the fuck off of the fence and get the game.

I do want to comment on the conspiracy theories surrounding the reviews, take off the in foil hats. No one likes it when folks play the victim, not everyone is going to love this game, and if you have any proof of some MS conspiracy provide the evidence and start a lawsuit.

ThisPlaceSucksBye4953d ago

It's not a 10!
They must have been bought by MS!

Between Sophy and PSVR 2, Polyphony is REALLY pushing videogames forward into a whole new era.

crazyCoconuts231d ago

"Gran Turismo has to run on the PlayStation 5, and that means Sophy cannot consume all the computing resources of the machine."
Interesting - I thought at first Sophy was controlled from their server farms. Seems like they've got it running locally.

Yamauchi on Why Gran Turismo Works in VR Without Making You Sick

Remon: "I didn't expect Gran Turismo 7 to be the most relaxing and soothing game on Playstation VR2 . Yes, it's a high speed racing game with extremely realistic physics. But for me, next to Tetris Effect Connected, it's become the most meditative PSVR 2 experience. What's even more surprising is that Gran Turismo 7 in PSVR 2 doesn't make me sick despite its high speeds.

Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi spoke to me via video chat to discuss why the GT7 feels so enjoyable to drive and what inspired his design choices."

I was very careful not to push myself when i first popped GT7 in VR, by limiting myself to 30 min sessions. I got sick from Drive Club VR. Surprisingly, even after hours of playing on a Gr 3 race, I don’t get sick now.

SullysCigar424d ago

Yamauchi has suggested in the past that choosing a slower car that's a convertible is a good choice for your first drive, because it makes you feel less enclosed, but you still have the frame of reference of the car itself.

When I put friends or family into GT7 on PSVR2, I sit them in front of my wheel, put them in a Mazda MX-5 / Miata, roof off and tuned to remove body roll, improved brakes, slick soft racing tyres and a turbo. This seems perfect, as they spin out less and can get started again more easily if they do. It's not too fast, but fast enough for a first timer. Set up a fan facing them too - that certainly helps.

But people quickly adjust and you just want more variation, speed and handling as you get better at the game. It's the most hooked I've been for years.

XiNatsuDragnel424d ago (Edited 424d ago )

Congratulations Yamauchi

Viljong424d ago

Is vr sickness even a thing. 30 fps games are worse

mandf424d ago

Nothing to do with frames although that has a part. Walking and then saddening stopping messes with your brain for some people. Me included

Viljong424d ago

Switchback is the only game which give me slight nausea same as irl rollercoaster. When it go highspeed and steep downhill comes it feel like my stomach is moving up and im falling off my stool. Interesting that i get the same effect than irl coaster without movement. But i dont call it vr sickness its just very immersive. Other games i play with freemovement and all vignette effects off.

Have GT7 too and playing it without nausea. Its superb in vr mode. Wish i could get the logitech g923 for it. But dualsense is very good aswell and feel right at home after playing forza on series x. Ofc with better haptics that dual sense offer. Only bad thing about gt7 is the unskipable movie when you play it first time. I was getting frustrated after all the motor history it start showing ingame racing i think the whole thingh lasted like 20-30min. Then you get the coffeeshop things and tutorials going on and finally when you get to race you have 120hp hybrid family car.

lucian229424d ago

Any artificial movement can cause motion sickness. Certain games I can't play in vr be cause of it. That's why I prefer games like superhot thst move only when your body moves

kneon424d ago

It's the discrepancy between what you are seeing and feeling and what your brain expects to be seeing and feeling that causes issues in VR. That's why latency is a killer. if you turn your head and the image lags behind it messes you up.

mandf423d ago

Kneon
You're right about that. Gt7 gave me motion sickness in the beginning but went away. I play for 12 hours a day on the weekend with no problems now. Pavlov still gets me. Resident evil is awesome but when I walk it gets me. It gets less over time.

RPGer424d ago

Because the nature of GT games. The game and the camera is static as ever, and it very usable and a prefect way to play racing game with long sessions in VR.

Einhander1971424d ago

I must say I'm still feeling sick when playing Turismo.

Babadook7424d ago (Edited 424d ago )

That’s too bad. Take it slow. Don’t push through uncomfortable feelings. Just play within your limit and build your VR legs over the course of a month or two. Eventually you’ll be able to play much more and with faster cars. It’s worth it, trust me.

Keep up the good work and bring more free updates. More cars and circuits!

Knushwood Butt546d ago

And PSVR2 support.

I recently got back into this and am really enjoying it. Working mainly on Circuit Experience to save up enough cash for the Porsche 917K. Should be there after another five or six sessions.

darkrider546d ago

Damn, that should be very cool

CobraKai546d ago

I remember my mind being blown at the reflective cars for the PS1.

HeliosHex546d ago

Wow 25 yrs just like that. Feels like only yesterday I was amazed by the first one.

darthv72546d ago

90 million units sold for the series... pretty damn impressive.
