I'm going to have to try that. I've been putting off finishing the game, because I don't like the basic VR experience.Have you looked at the “VR Enhancements” mod? It pretty much cleared up any issues I had with the game.

This ^^^ is exactly how I feel.
Really good to hear it got picked up, finger's crossed for a clear answer.I can't say I'm entirely surprised by the annnouncement (at some level) and didn't necessarily want VR support for the walking component anyway. With the reveal that Odyssey is (apparently) going to include atmospheric landings tho' - at a very basic level what I want is to be able to fly my spaceship over the surface of a planet, in VR, with blue skies above me. I think the experience of that (with whatever other terrain improvements Odyssey brings ... perhaps even weather?) would be an absolutely sensational VR experience and something that will be hard to bear if it's not supported.
Initially this is how I interpreted FD's VR statement. I imagined a situation where there'd be a moment when you get out of the pilot seat (perhaps via a fade to black, perhaps via a 3rd person animation) and that that would be the moment when, at launch at least, it would say "sorry - VR no supported". I could live with that. It never occured to me that VR users might be excluded from the basic improvements to the graphics engine, the new terrain and the lighting and sky colours provided by atmospheric worlds. I assumed it was just a technical issue to do with the practicalities of locomotion and other "legs" related issues.
I'm currently still trying to get an answer from FD to the question I posted in the Odyssey announcement thread.
Will people in VR still be able to fly space ships around beneath a blue sky?
Right at the end of last night's livestream Zac spotted my request for clarification on this issue and I'm hoping that he's going to try and provide an answer if at all possible.
Eh?
Sure.I didn't realise Hellblade was available in VR, so thank you.
You even get it for free, if you have the regular version.But even if it works for you, you are probably aware, that you are a minority within a minority.Yes, the whole game and the DLCs. Enjoyed it immensely, in a wobbly-kneed fashion on occasion.
No nausea issues, but if that would worry you in EDO then it could be added to the massive caveat at the start
Interesting, I need to check Subnautica out eventually.
This is not a feature exclusive to the VR version. Binaural audio is present in the flat version. You need to play with headphones to notice it though.
If you have a cockpit game, your brain can use the cockpit as a frame of reference. Which it does it real life, too, subconsciously. It can still take some time of getting used to flying in a cockpit, because your inner ear senses you are static, while your eyes perceive movement. The big difference is head movement is still possible, while sitting in the cockpit. In described example of Alien Isolation head movement is completely locked or forced in certain directions in certain situations. And this is a huge difference, more than you might think, if you haven't experienced it yourself.
In all the comments I’ve read about the MotherVR mod, the only comfort issues I’ve seen mentioned are related to the 0.8 version which introduced a slight head position misalignment after crouching. From what I’ve seen, everyone who’s played it either loved it or noped right out of the headset because it was too scary
Maybe I tried a much older version, which had more forced head movement (for instance when you got thrown around or you entered vents.In all the comments I’ve read about the MotherVR mod, the only comfort issues I’ve seen mentioned are related to the 0.8 version which introduced a slight head position misalignment after crouching.

). The VR experience (unmodded) is definitely subpar, but I found that the game itself was rewarding enough to be able to ignore most of the issues.I’ve got Fallout 4 VR but never downloaded it. Maybe I should to see.
It's only the games that implemented full VR controller support that have implemented the point and click method of moving. Many others where mods or updates have added VR, the movement is still controller based (as are most other interactions). Alien: Isolation is a good example of that (and the only game that made me throw up - but that was due to the beer festival in the afternoon, rather than the VR!).Don't waste time modding UWP apps, it probably won't work as it is supposed to prevent exactly that.
Give it a try, though I suspect it is much more refined as even the latest unofficial mod for Alien Isolation. FO4 VR does not force any head movement on you, maybe only if you step on objects with enabled physics. But then that is only a very brief moment. If ED was on a level like FO4 or Skyrim, it would be great already.
When I tried the VR mod, I loaded the very last checkpoint from my previous play though in flat. To not spoil anything I will only say, there is a jump-scare shortly after that, which made me almost fall from my chair - holy sheet!
Virtually all head bobbing got removed in v0.6 and entering vents is a quick, smooth motion into a crouch. I’m hoping that the future plans for “reworked movement/comfort” and “controller relative aiming” mean a more ‘proper’ VR experience is on the horizon. Watching the Touch controller hand movements in Halo on their Twitter feed looks awesome, maybe Nibre can backport that experience into AI.
It’s well done IMO. I’ll never forget my first panicked mauling of a radroach.
Well as I said I do not think it is a monetary or resource issue as far as the short (less then 3 month) or medium (<1 year) term. I would be surprised if there was anything that could make that happen.
It's less than ideal, but personally I found it perfectly enjoyable. I much preferred the experience to my original 2D playthrough ("enjoyable" and "preferred" are probably the wrong words... it was horrific). I've played through it a couple of times in VR. Equally, NMS VR has its flaws but it's preferable to playing in 2D for me. I struggled a little more with Subnautica mostly due to the dire frame-rate in and around my base (it's actually worse on my RTX 2080 than it was on my old 1060 for some reason), and it's full of major bugs that should have been addressed.
