If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.

Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.

Polyphony Digital have officially previewed their PS VR2 update that is scheduled for released next week.

Preview:

Free PS VR2 Upgrade Coming to GT7! Experience a Whole New Level of Immersive Gameplay

We are pleased to announce that the PlayStation®5 version of ‘Gran Turismo 7’ will receive full PlayStation®VR2 support through Update 1.29, releasing on 21 February. With this free upgrade, players will be able to experience all the races and game modes (excluding ‘2P Split Screen’ mode) with a whole new level of realism. PS VR2 players will also be able to access an exclusive ‘VR Showroom’ area from their ‘Garage’ or the in-game car dealerships where they can admire all the stunning details of the ultra high-definition car models in a variety of locations and lighting settings.

GT7 takes full advantage of PS VR2’s next-gen features. Utilising specially optimised HDR tone mapping, as well as foveated rendering from the eye-tracking feature (a technology that renders areas of the screen that the player is directly looking at in high definition), and dynamic 3D audio support, players will experience a whole new dimension of highly immersive gameplay.

Take your Gran Turismo 7 experience to new heights with PS VR2.

A new level of driving immersion

PS VR2 adds a whole new level of realism to the driving experience. Enjoy taking part in races driving vehicles that now feel truly real.

Admire your car collection in the VR Showroom

Admire the stunning details of your vehicles in ultra-high definition with 12 selectable backgrounds. Vehicles can be viewed from a variety of angles, and you can even move inside the car with a single button press. Players can enjoy exploring every single car inside and out.

Bit miffed about this, I tried to place a pre-order several times on the Sony site only for it to continually fail. After several discussions with their support I was advised to wait and buy it from a shop.

I've little doubt that GT7 will be quite special in VR, but I am now feeling a little like the moment has passed and my desire to spend £530 to play one game (which was of course insane from the start), has waned.

I think I know you well enough to know that you'll eventually want to make the purchase anyway. :)
But yeah, I'm the same with moments being passed.
