Motion sickness awareness thread

I have only gotten motion sickness a few times when I have played games. The one I remember most recently was from, of all games, Freedom Planet. Most of that game is absolutely no problem for me. But there is this giant laser in one level that leaves some after-tremors. For whatever reason, those tremors screw with my brain the wrong way, and I feel sickened at seeing them. I can't even imagine many people having a problem with it, so it's very strange to me.

I guess I'm lucky and never felt ill from a videogame. And I used to get really sick in a bus.

I get motion sickness from A LOT of games, the only ones I don't seem to suffer in are RTS/MOBA and weirdly enough, CSS.

I don't have any motion sickness probs. But lately I've noticed a higher feeling of unease if the fov is at about 60, i.e console crap.
Made me stop playing RE4 which was free on xbox live once. It just feels too claustrophobic.
Maybe I'm getting old :(

yeah the shakey cam in TR2013 was really bad, i was able to finish the game in short sessions and am glad, it was totally worth it. i think Rise isnt that bad, fortunately. i heard using triple buffered vsync helps, though i doubt.

some fov in games like life is strange/Metro makes me sick too, although most FPS games do haha.

For me, this started around a year ago when I first played minecraft, then it spread to almost every other 3D games. I don't know why, but I think it's somehow related to my old pc can't handle the graphics of those new games, which usually can only run them at 20fps.

Never from games, while travelling though.. if I am not looking out the window (I deducted this later) I will start feeling sick soon :x

Dead Space = motion sick
Prolonged play of Dead Island = motion sick

I sometimes have motion sickness in games which require you to drive in first person (that could be based mostly on psychological fears, rather than actual motion sickness effect, because I have once managed to get "car sick" even in a pixel graphics game). Usually, in other type of games, I can edit settings (movement speed, FOV, motion blur, etc) enough to prevent it from arising.

For most games, I have to turn off a bunch of settings in games to get rid of the motion sickness.

Stuff like motion blur, Film Grain, Bloom, Death of Field I turn off.

FOV I turn it to 120. There are a few games that try to change your FOV when you start running, if you can make the FOV while walking and sprinting the game, it will help ease motion sickness.

Other stuff to turn off if you can is weapon bob and head bob. Sometimes you have to go into the ini files to edit these out as there is no where in the settings to do that.

Resident Evil games (especially RE2) and Call of Duty games (not even trolling). I can't watch people play them because I get intense migraines after about 20 minutes. I think it has something to do with the movement of the characters and not being in actual control of them (and thus not being able to anticipate their actions).

I've never had an issues with motion sickness, but for some weird reason Metro 2033 Redux and The Talos Principle, hurt my eyes and cause headaches.

Half-life 2 is terrible for me. I never got motion sickness with third person games. Never happened with unreal tournament for me back in the day. Also No one Lives Forever (?) was probably the worst ever. Dianatrix is that the original tomb raider or the 2013 version?

I get motion sickness in real life, too, but almost always if I am in a car with someone else driving. Racing games, however, don't cause it.
First person shooters are the biggest culprit, and for some I fix it by changing the FOV or sitting further back from my monitor (there's about 12 inches of space behind my monitor to slide it back).
Games with extreme motion blur and depth-of-field give me issues as well, so I usually turn those features off in games. :X

The only game that ever gave me motion sickness was Sonic 3D Blast.
Newer Sonic games makes me wanna puke, but for other reasons...

I've had this problem going back to my early console days. Medal Of Honor: Frontline & Rising Sun on Xbox. Absolutely loved the games but it took me forever to complete them because I could only play them in small, 1/2 hour doses. Any longer than that I would have to go lie down for 4 hours with the room spinning. Awful feeling. Third person games don't seem to bother me.

I didnt buy some games because of that. Come to think of it, I had same problem with Deus Ex HR Directors cut. At least for a while, Im pretty sure I changed some settings and it became a bit better, but still....

Well yes its quite odd in my case cause for example i can play Borderlands with no issues at all but Borderlands 2 make me sweat etc.Some games i had similar issues are Half Life 2,Portal and Portal 2 (i really wanted to play and finish them :(),Perfect Dark Zero (it was really bad and possibly heaviest seizures among them!) Fallout NV and some others i cant remember...I am pretty sure there some games which can possibly make me feel sick but im yet to play them.I really wanted to play some of those games but yeah:(

I got motion sickness playing Dead Island - the sway and the field of view was too much for me (first time I ever experienced it)

Crysis 2, motion blur was horrible; but after i disabled it I had no problems.

I get motionsick quite often, the latest game I can remember is Creativerse, making me nauseous after 30 minutes and well Talos principle as well. The ship is also one of those games :D

I've learned to deal with it and stop when needed, usually high fps and high fov help :D
