VR gaming and Gran Turismo 7 assessment: Experiencing racing in a digital world with PlayStation VR2
In the world of virtual racing, the modern F1 layout of the Nurburgring became a high-speed battleground for one enthusiast, as he navigated the twists and turns of Gran Turismo 7. The event, played on a PlayStation 5 with the new PlayStation VR2 virtual reality headset, offered an immersive news experience that brought the race track to life.
The author found himself in the driver's seat of a Subaru Impreza WRX, as he sped past the vehicle at close to 300km/h. A quick glance over his shoulder revealed a Toyota Alphard Executive Lounge, a powerful vehicle producing 419kW, participating in the news.
The author's admiration for the luxurious second-row seating in the Alphard, however, proved to be a distraction at high speed. His focus momentarily wavered, and he missed a corner, sending him ploughing across the gravel trap. The news was not without its challenges, as he felt wild vibrations and blurred vision due to his actions.
The PlayStation VR2, manufactured by Sony Interactive Entertainment, uses eye tracking technology to render only the area the player is looking at in full resolution. This technique, known as foveated rendering, allows for a massive increase in graphical fidelity over Gran Turismo Sport in the original PSVR. The level of detail in the game, including the grain in the wood trim on the doors, was quite spectacular.
The author's setup for the VR experience included a 55-inch screen, race seat, and Logitech G29 steering wheel with pedals and a manual gear shifter. While PSVR2 might not be essential for casual gamers, it is a more compelling option for dedicated racers with a full racing setup.
It's worth noting that PSVR2 costs more than an actual PS5 and has a relatively small range of titles available. However, the visuals in the garage of Gran Turismo 7 are the most impressive, allowing players to inspect every detail of their favourite cars.
Sony's PSVR2 is exclusive to the new PS5 console, marking a significant leap forward from the original PSVR, which was first released in 2016 for the PS4. With its haptic feedback in the headset, new controllers, and eye tracking technology, PSVR2 offers a more immersive and realistic virtual racing news experience.
Despite the occasional mishap, the author found the virtual racing experience with PSVR2 in Gran Turismo 7 to be exhilarating and a testament to the advancements in gaming technology. As the world of virtual racing continues to evolve, it's clear that PSVR2 is setting a new standard for immersive, high-speed news experiences.
