Looking forward to seeing that new game, Rushy!
Maybe throw in a VR mode too while you guys are at it. Would be amazing.

Wow, that is fantastic. Really cool from Codemasters that allowed this to happen.

Anyone know what kind of steering wheel they are using in the video?
I'm sure there's more than good will involved.

So have you gone from "no interest in VR at all" to being interested? lol
Also, you can calm down about the new tracks since they are coming to vanilla Driveclub for free.
Eurogamer posted their hands-on impressions. Sounds like a must-get: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-hands-on-with-driveclub-vr

Wow, that's high praise! Good job Evolution! my VR killer app.
I hope motion control with Dual shock translate the immersion well enough, wheels are expensive.

Sadly I don't have a wheel, and I don't like to play in cockpit view.
So DC:VR is no use for me...

I never play in cockpit view with normal racing games but in VR? It feels amazing. On a TV it just feels like your viewpoint of the track is limited whereas the scale in VR gives you the impression of being inside a car.
DCVR does have third person views and a bumper cam, though, which feel pretty awesome too.

Don't know about that until now. That's awesome!
Nah, VR is still something I'm not going for. Rez is playable on a normal screen so I have no incentive to go for it.
But after all the talk about how the game would have to be downgraded to get to the requited fps, this looks damn good.
Never expected a free update for these tracks in the original, so yeah, I'm very happy with it. Had no idea this was happening.

Great write up! You didn't happen to crash did you? Curious to know how crashes will be handled in VR.
Do you drive a car in real life? Imagine doing that with supercars on stunning tracks around the world. On your PS4, at home. Dash cam is sort of an entirely different thing when you're IN the car like you would be in real life. Try out VR if you get a chance to.

The bike crashes would be a mind-fuck

They initially said it would, but there hasn't been any updates on that for a very long time as far as I can recall. VR support isn't mentioned on the PS Store pages for the game either.
Perhaps it's still coming, but I wouldn't be surprised if it came some time after launch.

Or become a standalone game.

Great to see DC VR get finished, its looking awesome, day one buy.
Looking forward to the new IP too, really hoping for something similar to MotorStorm but I'm sure it will be great whatever it is.
Ha, I actually did try crashing once and, yeah, there is kind of a lurching sensation in your stomach when that happens. Nothing too severe but you do feel it, which I thought was kind of cool in this instance. Might be worse in third person or bumper cam mode, though.
At least the bumper cam includes a small wire-frame model of the front of the car floating just in front of your view. It helps give your brain something to anchor to which ultimately aids in the prevention of motion sickness.
Awesome. Really looking forward to the new project.

I also think that DC is a masterpiece <3I'm thrilled that the team continue to work on VR version and is now on another project !!!

Ah that's interesting about bumper cam as that's what I currently use and didn't expect them to support alternative camera positions. I'm hoping the in car view will be the way I play it though, just can't use it on TV as it feels to restricted.
Are those screens from the VR version? I thought they'd had to cut all the weather effects.
They're from the new tracks on the regular games, likely.

This is the game that would have sold me on getting a PSVR, but after trying it out twice at Best Buy, I can't get over how bad the quality of the screen is. Going from a crystal clean 1080p 55" OLED tv to the PSVR's somewhat blurry, pixelated text, poor looking resolution screen really seems like a step backwards and sucks you out of the illusion of vr.
Sucks that you had such a poor experience. Seems like it was misadjusted or not clean well enough? There is a downgrade going from tv to headset.. but nothing as bad as what you make it sound.

Nah, those are old tracks. The first and last screen are from the Atlantic Road in Norway, while the two in the middle are presumably from Nilgiri Hills in India.

It was clean and adjusted correctly. The screen quality is just not that good. And to say the downgrade from tv to headset is only minimal is just not true. The whole time I was demoing it, I kept thinking this would be amazing if the screen was sharper/had better resolution.
Not going to happen until the next generation of headsets & the inclusion of Foveated rendering to enable multiple resolution display techniques to save on computing power.
The text thing is a bad design choice though - IIRC Carmack mentioned that there needs to be work done on creating VR friendly fonts as its a common problem.
I think what it comes down to it, if you're hugely into IQ you're not using a headset for at least one, possible two more generations of display. To get a VR HMD to the clarity you expect will take a 16k screen.

I wouldn't be surprised if Codemasters let it happen for the learning experience alone. Now they can take what they learned in Driveclub and expand upon on it for whatever game they're working on now.

Where does the T500Rs fit into this?
Also I highly recommend a Playseat Evolution racing chair. It's expensive but you get what you pay for. It's comfortable and easily adjusted for different people.

I had a similar experience, and I really don't feel like I'm hugely into IQ, but I still thought it was really jarring how much the downgrade was. I was really surprised at the quality and I've used an Oculus DK2 several times and felt it was worse than that.
