Gran Turismo 7
Reddit take
AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote
Gran Turismo 7 (GT7) is highly regarded as a premier console racing title that balances accessibility with high-fidelity simulation. It is most frequently praised for its transformative PSVR2 support and consistent post-launch updates from Polyphony Digital. While it is considered a 'sim' by most console players, the hardcore sim-racing community notes it trades some realism and customization (like FOV adjustments) for a more polished, curated experience. The game's economy and UI are points of contention, with some users finding the interface tedious while others appreciate its presentation.
Pros
- Exceptional PSVR2 implementation that is described as a 'coolest gaming experience' level of immersion.
- Strong post-launch support with frequent content updates and improvements.
- High level of visual detail in car interiors and overall graphics.
- More accessible and cost-effective entry point into sim racing compared to subscription-based PC titles.
- Excellent career mode and car collection mechanics that appeal to both hardcore and casual fans.
Cons
- Polarizing UI that some users find 'super tedious and slow.'
- Lack of Field of View (FOV) adjustment options, which can be a drawback for serious rig setups.
- Physics can occasionally feel 'hand-holdy,' such as the game automatically bouncing cars off walls.
- VR mode can be nausea-inducing for players who haven't built up their 'VR legs.'
Caveats
- While it is a simulation, it is often positioned as a step below 'hardcore' PC sims like iRacing in terms of pure realism.
- Opinions on the user interface are mixed; while some find it slow, others describe it as pleasant to use.
- Microtransactions exist, though users suggest they are not necessary to enjoy the core game.
Best for
- PSVR2 owners looking for a flagship virtual reality experience.
- Car enthusiasts who enjoy detailed car collecting and 'car culture' presentation.
- Console players who want a polished, standardized racing career.
Avoid if
- You require the extreme physics realism and deep customization of hardcore PC simulators.
- You are highly sensitive to motion sickness in VR.
- You require specific FOV adjustments for a multi-monitor or specialized rig setup.

The UI in GT7 is quite literally one of the worst parts of the game imo, super tedious and slow
I mean they suck, but you don’t need to spend any extra money to enjoy the game.
Absolutely yes, I’m doing GT7 on PSVR2, and it’s a beautiful thing
i am playing GT7 with VR
For christmas my parents got me a G29 to play GT7 more seriously and me and my father has been having a blast with it.
Just a warning, GT7 will likely be nausea inducing as a first VR game. You’ll likely want to build up to it with some stationary games first.
That's an impressive number. Helps that they have continuously updated the game. Always a reason to come back.
I not saying that someone should pay hundreds of dollars to get a PSVR2 JUST to play GT7, but it’s literally one of the coolest gaming experiences I’ve ever had…and I’m not even a hardcore racing game person.
He's at 85 percent of races done on gt7 and it's only the harder ones left.
Typical GT7 post. Says its the best sim out there (extra points if you mention VR is the best ever) then proceed to show some of the worst driving out there.
