That sucks, do you ever get motion sickness from a fast moving fps or racing games?


I don't think I've ever experienced it in racing games, but it's definitely come up in shooters with a lot of quick aiming and quick turns. I remember having issues with it after long stretches with The Last of Us. It's minimized if I'm playing in a well-lit room so subconsciously I'm always aware of it being a flat screen, but with VR that's the opposite of what I want lol

Oh weird. I never tried it, but thought it was the DS controls here you go. What's even weirder was Lord of the Fallen/Surge changing the dodge button. Like that's an explicit clone that changed a thing for reasons?!?
What did they change it to? I don't remember. Maybe they were fans of the Japanese versions of the Souls games if it was on X...

I’ve got the same motion sickness with cars and books/phones and I’ve never gotten motion sick in a game but I’ve also managed to never put on a VR headset.

Its was on X. They provided a controller scheme with it on O though.

Motion sickness chat. Of you are on a boat you are told to "look at the horozon" this world because it let's your brain see how you are moving with regards to the earth. You know what else works? Look at a glass of water! You see the water tilt in the glass and your brain can reconcile your inner ear movement with the world movement:science:

In a car look out the window and think about how the movement of the car is affecting you. It might help

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


The other question to ask about motion sickness is "how old are you?"

Yeah, didn't happen at all to me in my teens and early 20s. Everything starts to go to poo poo in your 30s though.

The basic premise for most motion sickness is that you have a sense of how your body is positioned in space (proprioception) which is mainly sensed by crystals in your inner ear. For people with motion sickness, rides like the Rotor shake up those crystals and confuse the body so nausea results.

It's the same with VR, if the visual information your eyes are taking in conflicts with what the inner ear is telling you, that conflict can make people sick. I have it pretty bad and cannot even read in a moving car because staring at a static page while moving is enough to affect me

This is my mom for most of her life, she couldn't even sit in the back of a car without insta barfing as soon as it started moving. About 10 years ago that went away, so you may ultimately age out of it.

Regular PS4 doesn’t support HDR so there’s no point in having it turned on probably

Motion sickness chat, I suffer from terrible travel sickness in cars, absolutely cannot read anything in a car. Just the journey alone is bad enough. Except when I was on a road trip through Idaho and it completely went away. Came back when I got home to England. ???

I feel incredibly lucky when it comes to motion sickness, I get zero. Worst I got was some crazy butterflies when I accidentally shouted myself off a cliff by hitting the wrong button in Skyrim. :v:

Doesn’t really surprise me though. I used to be able to :nms:play the Virtual Boy:nms: in the car so I think my brain’s just broken.

The only time I've ever felt any kind of queasiness was when I pushed a button playing that tank game you get with the system. I didn't realise it would fire a rocket thruster and then flip me to attach to a roof. Really got the stomach lurching.

I was able to get my Spider-Man Black Friday bundle today at Walmart. Originally they were telling me that it would not be available until Black Friday but thank God that turned out to be wrong. I was not wanting to go there on Black Friday itself for sure.

Same. A couple of games made me feel so zapped of energy I'd have to lay down for like 20 minutes after playing them for 10. Here they Lie is still to this day the most barf inducing PSVR game. I actually tried to play it recently and it still made me kind of sick despite being totally acclimated to VR. It's like a checklist of things not to do in a VR game.

As someone who has never been a fan of Tetris, I must say Tetris Effect is fantastic. $40 is steep but I used my $15 credit to soften the blow. I’m also a big fan of Rez and Lumines so I might be a bit biased but I love it. I’ve been playing on PSVR but I’m sure it’s great regular too. For a Tetris fan I’d say it’s must own, but for anyone with an interest I don’t regret it one bit. Just throwing that out there if anyone is on the fence about it.

I bought two Playstation Plus codes last year on Black Friday. Redeemed the first one last year, I go to put the second one in and it says thank you for redeeming your code, but it doesn't actually activate plus. What happened?

E- my username on PlayStation's website shows the plus indicator next to it. :iiam:

Doctor Zero posted:

I don’t mean this smug, but I don’t get motion sickness at all. Like at an amusement park my friend and I were the only ones on the Rotor (just a big spinning cylinder that sticks you to the inside wall and the bottom drops out) for literally 40 minutes because the guy said he’d keep it going until someone else showed up and that’s how long it took. I didn’t get sick or even feel queasy.

So what is it about VR in particular that makes people motion sick? I’m just curious since I don’t get it.

I'm the same way. I've had friends get all sorts of sick from VR. And I'm kinda jealous that I feel nothing. I also never feel fully "immersed" either, though.

Granted, sometimes, I get the weird stomach drop with heights in games. Crackdown was the first time that happened.

I hope that it is a bell curve because my track record has been: in my teens it would trigger from extreme theme park rides, in college I could get it just from riding in cars, and in my twenties sometimes it just happened when I was literally sitting down and just tilted my head weirdly

I bought the Division on sale and played it for like an hour before I decided to wait to continue until I finish Red Dead, and playing a game with normal controls for a bit felt like taking a huge satisfying dump after a month of RDR . That said, I think I've finally gotten used to RDR and they don't bother me anymore. Just about every other game has better controls though.

I have both RDR2 and persona 5 installed and guess which one is far more immediately welcoming and doesn't give me the "ughh" feeling that starting a 40 hour game does
