I was wowed by the visuals in half life 2, but almost threw up after 20 minutes. So, any ideas? I've heard turning the lights up in the room can help, and eating ginger let me know! Didn't Mirror's Edge have a reticule at the centre of the screen in which you focused on that to stop the motion sickness everyone was having? Why not try that on the crosshairs in any FPS? I wouldn't know what's it like since I don't get it.
Why does that even happen? Is there any science behind why some people have the problem while others don't? Are you playing these games on the PC?
I get a little motion sickness from time to time, and I find that it happens when I play on a PC rather than consoles. I found that playing up close to a screen was my problem. So if you find yourself really staring at the screen, just take a step back to relax your eyes.
I don't get it with games, but I used to get ill when in the car until I got some ginger flavoured chews with real ginger. Never ever got motion sickness after that. I used to get this playing Guitar Hero on the PS2. I don't know what to tell you, other than play less FPS games.
Not a great solution, but I would give it a shot. Look at that, the forum comes through with some answers. Thanks guys! I'll try some of these out when fallout 3 arrives this week. Hopefully I can sort it out, I hear that there's a lot to see in that one : Just to be clear, this affects me on both console and PC shooters. I heard that it may have something to do with the field of vision that the game uses.
On PC there is sometimes a line in the ini file that you can adjust to widen this, which has helped on a couple of occasions, but on console there are limited options for that. I remember when Marathon came out on XBL and even people who had never been motion sick while playing a game were affected. They patched it and widened the FOV and it solved a lot of the problems. I think it was just the graphics, but it was absolutely sickening to play.
Can't offer any solutions though.. I just didn't play it. Maybe it's not the same thing, but I wonder if it's anything like sea-sickness? When I was younger I used to suffer horribly from sea-sickness. I would be flattened the entire time on the boat and then for hours afterwards.
My grandparents had a small boat though and I was too young to stay at home alone when they went out. So, I suffered through it. But, after a while, the nausea lessened. I had acquired my "sea-legs", as sailors say. Now, I am fine even on rough seas when being knocked about in small crafts. Perhaps the answer is to simply work through it long enough for your brain to readjust to the motion sensations. If you persist, eventually, your body will get used to it and you'll get over the sickness.
Of course, maybe virtual motion sickness is nothing like sea-sickness and everything I've said is wrong. Seasickness and Motion sickness from gaming is the exact same thing and yes, like seasickness your body should adjust over time but it can be a very uncomfortable experience Chances are that not all games will make you sick, so find ones you can play and avoid those that make you sick.
If you decide to play a game that makes you sick, play for short periods of time and take frequent breaks. Go out and get some fresh air. You also can try sitting farther back from the screen. If the action isn't the only thing your eyes see, and you can see some stillness around the screen or focus on a stationary point, your brain may not be as confused. Wear acupressure wristbands while playing video games to see if that helps.
Here are some games that might cause motion sickness, and why:. Other games can make you sick from just watching. You don't need to be involved in the gameplay. These are usually games with player-controlled cameras. When you watch someone else play and the camera doesn't react and move the way your head thinks it should, you may feel motion sickness. If you feel any symptoms of motion sickness, stop playing immediately. Open a window, or go outside, and get some fresh air.
If you do experience motion sickness from video games, you can do a few things to prevent it in the future:. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
