Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR 2 is "Historically Significant", Says Kazunori Yamauchi

The Gran Turismo series has had a lot of milestones over its 25-year history, but the anticipation surrounding Gran Turismo 7's free launch-day support for PSVR 2 is reaching hype levels not seen in quite some time, if ever. Kazunori Yamauchi feels it, too.

"it’s pretty historically significant that a full-spec racing game is now playable in VR"
Project Cars 2 doesn't count?

Neonridr478d ago

or Project Cars 3, or Asetto Corsa, or Dirt Rally. Tons of choices when it comes to VR Racing games.

PureBlood478d ago

"It’s the first time in racing game history that we’re able to do this now, so I think that this really is a significant moment."

Sounds like he's referring to Polyphony, after the half-baked attempt to get GT Sport working in VR on PS4.

GT7 is the full thing finally!

Neonridr478d ago

@PureBlood - for sure, it's awesome that we are getting the full package here in VR. No cut corners or compromises.

masterfox478d ago

indeed it is, 4k hdr, oled , ultra fast framerate, best racing game outhere , and literally full GT7 game in VR?, so yes it is an insta-WIN!, and the average consumer is in reach to get all this even thou with the PSVR2 price tag, no need to spend thousands and thousands of dlls to have such an awesome experience like in PC, and also hassle free from configurations.

XiNatsuDragnel478d ago

This game in VR is a great experience.

Petebloodyonion478d ago

I would say that the historical part is Sony finally giving ppl a true AAA VR experience from one of their top franchises and most importantly at launch.
Not a spin-off story
Not a game from the previous generation
Not a side project from an obscure IP

That's a win in my book.

ApocalypseShadow478d ago

Of course. Sony's biggest franchise delivering high fidelity VR to consoles. That's nothing but 💯 win. If they bring other Sony in-house franchises to VR, that's going to be sick.

Start the dreaming. Ape escape, Rachet and Clank, Siren, GOW, Killzone, Resistance.. I mean damn. Sony's got Sony many franchises that it could be amazing to see.

But good on Kaz and team bringing GT7 to the next level. Maybe it'll get other top racers to join the party.

C-H-E-F476d ago

Killzone VR would be amazing. I know alot of people hated it but I loved Shadow Fall. I think it will also allow them to pivot the series as well and reintroduce it to this new gen of gamers.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218318h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan4h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin2h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla3h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5232h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin1h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-6443m ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

excaliburps4h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla3h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb4h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip43m ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

Sorry but PSVR2 is dead and double dead at any sale price. It was dead before it launched as the "premium" VR scene lost all the AAA developers and now it is all indie mobile phone crap quality software.
