not this game no it has not. and whats wrong with wanting to play it anyway? its not like the VR is core to the gameplay experience, it can just have the exact same controls as the first game and be fine.

You're obviously a troll but I'll bite.

I own both version and the vr one even uses the same map as the original. The only difference is that it is in VR. That's it! There is no point playing superhot vr without vr since it would just be superhot...

Sadly its not as simple as just giving Superhot VR keyboard and mouse controls. It's differs considerably from the non-VR game. For example all the scenrios in the game are designed around standing in a small area (about one step in each direction) which totally changes the pathfinding and behavior requirements for the AI. Time moving in SH VR is based around head and hand movement as opposed to lateral movement, this changes the way the scenarios are designed in a big way. So unlikely it will ever be ported to non-VR. It is a shame you can't experience this game in VR as it's pretty awesome and given how much you say you liked the previous SH, you'd ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this one.

Your the one who lacks understanding of the term let's look at the definitions

A particular form of something differing in certain respects from an earlier form or other forms of the same type of thing. Yep qualifies under that definition as a version

A particular edition or translation of a book or other work. Yep qualifies it is the VR Edition.

An adaptation of a novel, piece of music, etc., into another medium or style. Yep it's been adapted into VR whether you want to consider that a medium or style doesn't matter.

A particular release of a piece of computer software. It's the VR release so yep counts.

An account of a matter from a particular person's point of view. Doesn't apply here

So out of 5 definitions one doesn't apply and the rest can safely fall under the term version. Saying this isn't a version of the game is like saying Axis and Allies: 1941 and Axis and Allies: Pacific 1940 are not different versions of Axis. Just because something has different maps or uses alternate mechanics doesn't disqualify it from being a version. So stop trying to get super technical on people about a term when you yourself are technically incorrect. Not only that but even if their term was not completely accurate that does not somehow counter the point they are trying to make and if that's the only counter you have then you have lost the argument.

What I don't understand is why all the people wanting non-VR versions of VR games (which happens every single time a prominent VR game is released) don't just get a VR headset themselves?

The whole point of games built specifically for VR is that they work best in VR. And especially with games designed around motion controls and allowing for interactions not possible with a mouse/keyboard or gamepad.

If one doesn't want to play VR games, there are already a boatload of non-VR games to choose from. Just play those.

I agree it's silly. I believe part of it is the human nature of wanting something you have been denied because you are denied it and not wanting to be left out. Also I think it's funny that they somehow all think that they can control three different entities with full axes simultaneously on a mouse and keyboard with any level of proficiency.

Well, you haven't played it - and I'm guessing you never will - so you'll never realize how preposterous your assumptions are. Just trust me that you're missing an incredible experience that the PC version doesn't come even close to replicating. SH VR is one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever had in VR.

So, yeah, very sad for you. :(

So can somebody explain why there are two seperate versions of Superhot? I would think you could just put VR capability into the original instead of selling it twice.

Essentially, SUPERHOT VR is not the same game as SUPERHOT. It has different mechanics and maps that are designed to work in VR specifically, which probably wouldn't work non-VR. At the same time, the maps on the non-VR version are probably not that good in VR.

superhot VR is the SEQUEL to superhot, they are seperate games. like most sequels, it plays very much the same, but with diffrent levels, and some other minor changes.

hense why, they should atleast allow a non VR verson...

It's actually more of a spin off than a sequel.

feel free to enlighten us on how to play on pc / non VR then, because even the dev's have stated you can't, even tho it would take only a super small mod to make it possible

You said that people can't actuall yplay the game. They can. With the required hardware. Like every other game in the market. If you don't have the hardware, get it or move on.
