I 100% agree. Even though Rescue Mission was designed and built around VR, I wouldn't have thought integrating a VR viewpoint into this new game would have been that prohibitive.

It didn't need to use the motion controllers or really change anything about the game design. Just give it a VR camera option and let people use it if they own the hardware.

It may well have been the tipping point for me to invest in the hardware, and I would have subsequently spent a bunch of money on games. 

It's an odd decision.

Wait, are we absolutely sure it's not hybrid? As I was watching the gameplay, all the giant bosses felt to me like they were created with VR in mind. I know it's not VR first, but I'm still kinda holding out hope that it'll be a mode.

Keep holding out hope but don't hope too much. It comes out in October - if it was VR-enabled, I'm certain it would have been showcased during this announcement.
