VR *without* motion controllers?

[Reb Militia]

I have a Valve Index for context. Can you play this in VR using controller or better yet mouse+keyboard, or do you have to use the motion controls? I ask because the motion controls are garbage in this, I'd rather just play it like an FPS game where I can move the camera like I'm moving my head and just use a controller/mkb to play the game.

i think you can play it with controller cause that's how the psvr version works

Couldn't find the option in game to even change controls let alone controller. Was wondering if I'm missing an option outside of game somewhere

I can walk around in game with mkb or my controller but if I look to my right I see 47's arm just outstretched and his hand hanging there. I can't aim or do anything of the sort no matter what I press so it seems it only allows motion controllers, I don't understand why. Unless I'm doing something wrong? My motion controllers are off, so I think it just doesn't work...

Yeah well that's because it's one of the worst shoehorned VR implemented mode i've ever come across. It's a shame since the concept sounds like so much fun. They just didn't invest enough time and money to ensure it worked correctly and I doubt they ever will.

I know it's awful with the motion controls but it could at least be fun if I could use my HMD to just look around in first person

True, I get where your coming from. It is surprising they didn't give an option in the settings to change controls considering they had it for the PS4 version. Maybe someone in the modding community made it work?

There must be something out there to allow it since I couldn't imagine it being that difficult. If they can mod Half Life Alyx to be an non vr game with controller support then they can most definitely mod Hitman to use alternate controls. It just depends if the demand is high enough.

Different engines, so what can be applied to one won't work for the other Alyx is still using source engine which has always been good with mods. Hitman 3 doesn't use the same engine unfortunatly

Ah yeah that's a good point, I didn't even think of that. Damn that's a shame then. If it can't be modded then it's pretty much at lost cause since I doubt IO are going to come back to patch and fix up a mode that hardly anyone uses.

It's these half baked last minute VR modes that risk turning away new users to VR since these titles grab their attention in the first place over indie games due to marketing and AAA name recognition alone.

Wish they just put a little more effort in since it runs the risk of damaging the already small market share of VR users as it is especially if this is someone's first introduction to VR.

What's weird is I can look left and right with the mouse and walk with the keyboard just fine, and for example in the tutorial mission, when I walk up behind that construction worker it tells me to choke him out using left and right mouse buttons, so it seems like it should work and just isn't working for me. Why would it have controls for the choking if I can't actually do it? I can't seem to find any way to move my arms so idk. Maybe it truly is half baked beyond just being poorly implemented; seems to not be FULLY implemented, too
