I'm worried about the eye tracking/foveated rendering, especially having watched that GT7 hands on. Is there anything out there yet that explains how it works or if eye tracking can be turned off?
For context, I'm blind in one eye and over the years it's got more and more out of line with the one that works. It's not massively cross-eyed, but it's definitely not the same either.

Your experience should be similar to how you experience life day to day. If you think about it, you will interpret what is presented to you in the way that you normally would.
I use VR a lot without issue (I wasn't born blind, and know how big stuff is so it works for me), I'm just bothered the eye tracking might get in a pickle if both eyes are looking in different places. Do you think it'll be OK? How accurate is it?
It is positioning the area with the highest detail in front of your pupil/fovea, which you will interpret in your normal way. It will be fine
I see (well I literally don't), thanks! It's obvious now you've explained it.
Holy shit
Seems like everyone is enjoying this thing!
Have to admit, that video gave me fomo for the first time about VR.
The controllers look fecking huge. Beat Saber will be fun, smashing them together.
Maybe not a PSVR2 but I'm definitely getting one this year after waiting on them for a few years. A few months back I want to one of those indoor, warehouse VR events where you and some mates get swarmed by zombies. Completely sold me on VR as a concept at that point.
I'm hoping you guys who are eager to play GT7 VR also have wheels for it!
Not seen one of these for a few years 
Yes dude, bought one epsecially. You?
Hype!
We should be getting some impressions of this tomorrow. Let's hope it's not shite!
Not long to go now fellow sonygamers
Gotta be inclusive mate, XBox and Nintendo people are welcome if they have the cash! I reckon it will get good reviews but I'm not sure how it translates to sales.
Do I care? Nope I cant fecking wait!
Good to hear. I have a very strong feeling my dad is going to pick one up so no doubt I'll get a chance to try it at some point. I did like the original PSVR, minus the annoying wires, and this sounds like a huge upgrade.
That's like saying you could already have better if you have the cash to buy a PC
Looks promising although i usually find myself quickly bored with vr games , alyx was cool though.
You'd still need the scratch for a headset on top! The more the merrier, come along for the rideThat's like saying you could already have better if you have the cash to buy a PC

You also need to buy a PS5 + headset.
But anyway, no point preaching to the choir mate
Fair point. There's a lot VR still needs to do to win people over in that regard.
The PSVR2 has a lot to deal with at the moment. Price, cable, and most important of it all content.
Does GT7 have FFB for kerbs and collisions etc., or am I buying a new wheel? I've got a T300RS from years ago which steers the car but there's literally zero FFB outside of turning tension. .
I'm still not convinced as to the feasibility of VR to be anything more than a gimmick to diversify your gaming routine but I'm sure there are a lot of very creative people out there working to change that so we'll see.You also need to buy a PS5 + headset.

Yes mate. It rumbles all over the place! Great fun.
Yeah but whether or not it’s worth spunking out for a new wheel just to feel rumble strips is another matter though.Well this is super, but thanks
Tbh, until I started messing about with settings I was initially underwhelmed with mine.
What i noticed about using a wheel is how intuitive it is. Immediately cuts down on inconsistency of lap times.
I love it mate, been using wheels for over a decade. Currently got the t150 and it's fine tbh!
Absolutely, and the first time I went from pad to wheel speeds increased massively. Being able to look into the corners is a massive help in VR too of course, but its importance is magnified by using a wheel.
I probably won't buy a new one (so, in two more posts I will have because I'm a hopeless consumer).
@afrocentricity are you getting proper FFB on the T150?
What I found amazing is that taking a Honda Civic Type R round Suzuka using the wheel and pedals setup is incredibly accurate. I have one in real life and flinging it around was so intuitive and lifelike. Genuinely the same liberties can be taken with the virtual version as the real one. GT7 is very lifelike.
Genuinely excited about online VR racing. Imagine how exciting that will be.
I wonder if mine is broken or if I need to do something on PS5. I'll hook it back up to PC tomorrow and see if that's working then go from there. Ta
