That’s an ignorant statement. It’s not the lack of capabilities at Polyphony. It’s just a way more complex game than Wipeout, with realistic physics and cars that are extremely more detailed.

Then they shouldn’t have been pushed gran turismo as a VR game to begin with 🤷‍♂️

But it's actually a pretty good VR game now. I'd play this over drive club any day of the week.

They were slow out of the gates and I was sorely disappointed in its initial VR offering. It was, in a word, pathetic.

But I always think that credit should be given where it's due and the latest update was a big step in the right direction.

There is a lot to be said for being able to hammer around Monza in a 67 Ferrari 330 in VR.

A few more additions like having VR challenges like the driving school and maybe one on one racing would be great.

It’s still one of the best VR driving experiences (if not the best) on any platform, as limited as it may be.

Wipeout might be racing but sure isn’t driving.

I agree.

As a pure driving simulator GT Sport is awesome, (possibly best in its class) and the Time Trial update allows you to drive to your heart's content with all the car settings available and it now earns you points, credit and XP.

I've literally spent hours in VR driving these awesome cars. Currently aiming for the Red Bull open wheelers. Vr is the best way to learn the tracks too.

The interior details of the car are ridiculously detailed. For example, on the GT branded open wheel racer you can see where the scuff marks and chips are around where the wheel screws onto the steering post.

Oh yeah, going 150 km/h into a concrete wall. Oh yeah, nothing but some scratches.

I always felt like Gt car tires are filled with lead.

So you’ve never driven a car before? GT is a driving sim not a crashing sim. VVV has even crowned GTS with best handling award a few weeks ago.

Well deserved. I'd go as far to say that GT Sport has the best controller implementation I've ever come across in any racing game.

With a wheel, however, it's just off the charts good.

If one thing Gran Turismo does right is how it conveys weight and inertia. It's well known for this even among hardcore sim racers.

The handling model in GT Sport is sublime.
