Can I play this without VR?

[Harry]

There is no orange warning telling me I need VR but I get the impression from screenshots its supposed to played in VR

[PrAyTeLLa]

Runs perfectly fine without VR. It's fantastic, grab it and jump in!

[Harry]

I see because at the bottom it says it requires A vive which I only just noticed and is incredibly easy to miss

So you can read. Really no need to post yet another silly "wahhh VR games dont work on outdated flat screens" post then is there.

Are you really that stupid? Considering all VR titles have an orange warning that they require VR at the top of the page and this game lacks that warning in in its entirely also what the ♥♥♥♥ does a flat screen have to do with VR you are a clueless moron.

Clueless moron? Says the guy who doesnt have a Vive. How about getting a clue and joining the revolution. Throw away your monitor man, it's the horse and buggy of the PC world.

You should consider the fact that he doesn't even own the game, has a private profile and makes sarcastic remarks, that he's probably trolling you.

The store page is missing the usual stuff one would expect with most VR games. I wouldn't blame the OP for asking the question.

It's really sad so many people don't have any intelligence. It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask if it can be played without VR glasses.

Plenty of games support VR and non VR. In fact, any game studio worth a damn would do so, because it's stupid to shut out 90% of the gaming market simply because you're too lazy to add on keyboard controls. (which is very easy to add by the way; and yes I have written my own game engine thank you very much).

Any developer who goes VR only won't last very long in the real world. Which is ironic since they are developing for VR, and have VR mentality. (for the slow that means they don't have reality-based expectations).

I think you must not have ever used VR for this analysis to be the result. While some games do support VR and non VR, they are traditional games with VR tacked on, and severely lacking in the experience. Project Cars and Elite Dangerous are great examples where the VR is great, but sub par when compared to true VR experiences.

Considering the number of developers who are having great success with their sales of VR games, and considering the number of games in the works, and the overwhelming support of VR by large and small publishers, I suspect you are incorrect in your assuptions.

I don't expect VR to change gaming, but the idea that every VR game should be able to be played without VR is missing the point completely, VR games are best when made FOR VR. There is no way to substitute it with a traditional monitor keyboard/mouse/controller experience.

WIll this game work on my Gameboy Colour? There's no orange warning saying it wont...

[bizon bandit]

So does this game work without VR? Sorry I can't tell if the first answer is truthful due to the amount of salty sarcasm in this thread.

is just as wrong. I own a Vive. Anyone who puts one on and utilizes the MRI demo in "The Lab" should know rather quickly that VR tech is inevitable once it becomes more affordable and compact. Telepresence is what will sell it, not hype nor video games.

As a vr developer, I really wish it were as easy as "adding keyboard controls". Come on dude.

Novel idea. However, it's a gimmick and as such it has a limited shelf life before going obsolete. This iteration of VR will die as soon as Augmented Reality headsets are released. Have a nice day.
