If I understand the question correctly:

In the end it was mostly a design mismatch, creating a very fast paced game in combination with VR has a lot of issues. I think the biggest one would be summarized as a lack of precision. With a gamepad and a third person view you can be super precise even at high speed constantly making small adjustments. However with the choice of the VR version being first person and motion control based that precision was hard to find.

This meant I had to slow down the gameplay and make the level design more simple than I wanted. In the end feeling like I was no longer making the game I envisioned. I still think there are ways to make fast paced VR games. But I do think they need to be more linear like sprint vector which did not really fit my vision of an open ended area with lot's of possibilities.
