VR is not a gimmick!

LOL! Don't kid yourself! Have you ever driven a car?! It's no where close to a realistic experience!

Do you think companies spend tens of thousands of dollars creating realistic simulators for their race cars (that don't involve VR) for fun or something?

If you play with a decent wheel and VR it actually does. Try it out for yourself if you dont believe me or search for other people opinions.

 

Ohh that's so sweet that you think that comes anywhere close to the simulators these drivers actually train on. VR forces you to turn your head to look in the mirrors? So does the 180 degree+ displays that high end simulators have.

You seem to be completely unaware how much real life racing depends on the physical feedback the car is giving you as you drive in not just your hands and feet, but in your thighs, and back as well, nevermind the g-forces and physical load that racing forces you to bear. PSVR is utterly incapable of doing any of that aside from making the wheel rumble a bit.

You're honestly embarrassing yourself on this one.

Seriously, take some time and go out to your local karting track and see for yourself how physical it is, and how you can actually feel the changing grip the the tires as you go around the track or feel the back end step out on you if you try and accelerate too quickly coming out of a corner.

Let me know when such things are accomplished on VR and maybe then you'll have a point.
