Motion sickness when playing first person games (mini train)

Lol! I have the exact same reaction to those games T-T
Bump :3

Talos Principle gives me motion sickness after ~10 mins of gameplay. I heard it's better if You switch to third person mode, haven't tried it out yet.

at least you dont need VR :)))

The only time I've got motion sickness from a game was with the slightly older Sherlock Holmes games by Frogware (The Awakened and Nemesis), because they were too smooth, giving them a very unnatural feel. This was apparently so common that they added a 3rd person mode in Nemesis just because so many had issues with The Awakened. The re-release of The Awakened that is on steam now is supposed to have fixed these issues.

Apart from that, I've never had any issues with motion sickness in games.

edit Scratch that, thought of another one, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Here it was the FoV that was the culprit. It was even more narrow than what you would expect from a console FPS, and it made the game completely unplayable for me.

I also have it with first-person games but not with all of them. I get really sick when the movement is flat and does not simulate real-life movement and when there's no point of reference in the screen (eg. a gun or something). I've abandoned so far Mirror's Edge (very low FOV is the main issue with that), Half-life 2, Mind Path to Thalamus and I have serious issues with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter which is a really good game otherwise...

On the other hand, I never had issues with racing games though I do have serious issues with nausea when travelling with cars...

oh yes, alien resurecction after a few minutes, :(
Battleborn I only can play four missions a day and Borderlands pre-sequel.
But I have never the problem with Borderlands1 and 2.

Back in the day, Quake III Arena gave me the most heinous case of motion sickness going.

I get motion sick pretty easily in first person games. For me, I need to get the FOV up around 90, I need a point of referrence/cross hairs, and most of the time I wear sea-bands (wrist bands to help with nausea) when I have to play first-person games. Even then, an hour or two tops is as much as I can stand before I have to stop. Sucks because most of my favorite games are all first-person only.

Luckily i don't have motion sickness.. :)
Bump..

up

have a bump

I only have problems with FPS games which involves a lot of jumping and head bobbing. It was particularly bad with HL1 during the entire Xen part of the game (especially the Nihilanth fight). Haven't played HL2 yet, but I suspect it'll be the same. I suspect it's probably because I'm really susceptible to motion sickness. Taking a 30 minute break when you feel nauseous helped though.

The only time this happened to me was when I was playing Dead Island... turns out it was a combo of things like field of view, weapon sway, and motion blur

I got the same
But I have it also when watching a 3d movie or turn the 3d mode on, on the 3DS

I find I get really dizzy when first person games have that up and down head bob, I can't think of any off the top of my head though.

I never had any problems with motion sickness until I tried out the Oculus Rift. My cousin got the DK2 and I tried it out. After 15 minutes I was puking my guts out in his living room. After that, I've been leery of VR games.

I've had a similar problem with Gemini: Heroes Reborn. There's a level in which you are in a really high place and you have to jump from one tube to another (I'm kind of afraid of heights). I managed to pass it without dying but I was so tense I ended up sweating quite a bit.

Try to put your FOV to 90+

Doesn't happen to me. Anyway take a bump!

Thank You and Bump

Thanks!
Bump!

The only game that caused this for me was antichamber.

Weird.

Not at all for me but I knew a guy who couldn't play Tomb Raider because he was getting dizzy.
