The game barely runs in pancake mode and their response to that was "get a better computer". I'd hate to see what they would expect to even try to run Starfield in VR.
Also, their VR versions are, frankly, not very good. You absolutely have to tweak and mod them to get them to run well and be enjoyable.
I updated my rig 4 years ago, and not to the top of the line. Starfield ran beautifully for me on release. I don't really understand all the people acting like it required cutting edge builds to operate.
I felt the response was valid. How often do consoles get upgrades? PCs require them less frequently, but if you are using a 10 year old rig, it's like trying to play PS5 games on a PS3.
Too many treated it like their statement had "get good" energy. =/
Keep in mind, they released in the 10X0 era. Also, I found Skyrim needed ini tweaking to bring back the view distance. Even still, compared to most native VR games, I found the interactions lackluster without mods.
That sucks. I was really looking forward to more VR games from bethesda. I know a lot of people work on flat screen to VR mods that are often better then what the studios would do so i might still be able to play it in VR someday.
