Gran Turismo 7 Was Built for PSVR 2 From Day One, Says Kazunori Yamauchi

GT Planet: After I had the opportunity to be one of the first people to play Gran Turismo 7 with PSVR 2 last week, I also had the chance to speak with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi for a one-on-one interview to discuss the new hardware.

that's some incredible news!, so glad to know this wasn't rushed, still wondering why they didn't announced this from day one for the PSVR2, a bundle with GT7 would it catapult the preorders imo.

Yeah. Sony knew to make GT7 at a certain level of detail so that VR can run and look buttery smooth. They could have easily did what Microsoft did and made GT7 only PS5. But everyone on PS4, Pro and PS5 get to enjoy GT7. And VR gamers get to enjoy the full game with weather, time of day, etc.

Just a glorious decision. Should have many gamers to face against online if that's what that gamer wants. And seeing the cars up close is going to be insane.

I suspect a lot of gamers talking about how awesome the game is in VR. Nothing like word of mouth to spread the word.

This is exactly what Sony needed to make PSVR2 an even bigger success than PSVR1! 3 juggernaut franchises that even non-VR gamers get excited about, and finally jump into the VR World: Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil 8 and Horizon Call of the Mountain.

There are tons of other fantastic VR games once they're in, but these are the billboard games that are going to draw them in!

You know, normally I'd pass this off as corporate speak.

But in this case, I think he's telling the truth. When GT Sport came out, only a small segment was playable in VR. But with GT 7 the full game is in VR.

when Shu and Yamauchi speak there's a lot of honesty behind it. Always has been. Remember when Shu listed off Journey as one of his favorite games on the PS3 he welled up, voice cracking as he recounted a tragic story involving a family who played it. There's passion in their wares. Dammit Yamauchi-san got me to buy VR2 AND a steering wheel!

Futureshark841d ago

Its going to be quite something to race all these amazing supercars in VR, especially taking in all the interior details.
What a fantastic game!!

PureBlood841d ago

I hope so, because I just splurged on a wheel!

PureBlood841d ago

Do you weld?

I'm eyeing up a good second-hand seat and frame at the moment. This is going to be amazing.

The best part is, if I decide I don't want it after all for any reason (I'm thinking this will EAT my time!), I know I'll be able to sell it on for a nice profit once PSVR2 is out, because there's going to be an increase in demand for these racing rigs! Get in quick before they go up in price, people!

@pureblood, wood works great, if you know how to build stable things out of wood. there are plenty of guides online.

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Interested to learn of Sonys full body tracking and force feedback suit. Reminds me of ready player one.

As for the mention of Quest 3 and 3S. They're nice but why mention them as 2025 and beyond. We already had the Q3S last year and the superior Q3 earlier.

What we need is Half Life Alyx. How did Sony drop the ball on that?

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Sony doesn't own the game. It's Valve's game. Valve made the game to get users to use Steam. Just like they made Steam Boxes or the Steam Deck or the Index to get users onto their PC platform.

What Sony should have done was get Insomniac to make Spider-Man for VR. Or, TLofU. Or some big franchise they own converted to VR. Sony should have been more concerned on how to sell the headset besides GT7. The best games on PSVR aren't even compatible with PS VR 2. Another huge mistake. So, games like Astrobot, Wipeout or Blood and Truth are stuck on PS4.

They made a huge amount of money this Gen and did nothing for VR but sit back and watch indie developers. No effort means no buy. Which is surprising coming from Sony.

The last of Us would work perfect! Horror, looking around with a flashlight, and guns and bows work really well in VR. Sneaking up and grabbing the infected by the neck and choking them out, or throwing bricks and things to distract them sound good too. Not making one is a missed opportunity.

They did make a big franchise VR game.

Horizon VR game launched with the system.

darthv721d 12h ago

Not making VR1 games work with VR2 is probably the biggest missed opportunity.

At least a few 3rd parties released patches for some games.

anast1d 7h ago

You can rent it on Steam.

That's the whole list? VR is doomed. One of the biggest development is more multiplatform releases, which I don't even think is even true. The other one is standalone headsets? Which has been there since 2018 and went mainstream 5 years ago?

Babadook722h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I use it a lot. I’m guessing you haven't. It’s the future sorry dude.

IMO, there's two that are better than all these (except maybe Beat Saber), Thrill of the Fight and AUDICA.
