The Game-Sickness

[seperot]

I have a sickness....i cant stop buying games...i buy one a week its weird
but i dont buy one if i dident finish the last one 3 or 4 times on different modes

and yet i am never in debet O_o

Interesting. Never heard of it. From anyone. I guess I\'m just un/lucky.

And I\'d never worry about FPSs. Almost nothing to miss. And if you\'re in 3rd view you see more and can admire you char(especially when equiped items will be seen).

What?  Is this not a discussion on Planeshift?

Or is Mogura bent on confusing me?

well... not really
rather people troubles with FPS\'s

[Kiern]

Yeah, I guess so, all the post moving makes me dizzy though...it\'s not like it really matters :O

The only time I got queasy playing FPS was when I played Wolfenstein 3d after 2 hours of Unreal Tournament 2003 (on Turbo + intagib mode). Maybe it has to do with problems adjusting to the new graphics or tiredness.

I occasionally get the queasy feeling too....and i only ever play in third person because i like to be able to see \"behind\" me as well as in front - useful for ambush situations etc etc.  I believe it is still the motion-sickness thing tho because it only happens when i\'ve done a lot of running and jumping and stopping my character stops the queasiness.

Any one rember hertic
that game had a record of making ppl puke !!! ( i did  and i dont feel good about it  )

your nausea its something to do with the way we percive things some how it screws your mind (dont worry no harmful side effects )
if you keep playing (usually for some time) itll go away as you\'ll fraging

Kiern, to me the forum is a garden, and I\'m the gardener. I have to keep the garden looking pretty.


On Topic: I found this interesting post on a forum somewhere. Sounds promising.

Luckily, there\'s a new solution coming out. A headset that sends
electrical signals from behind your ears, which affects your sense
of balance. One reason is to prevent motion sickness or
vertigo. Also it\'s intended for some VR aspects.

But if you\'re a person who gets motion sick from the movement, it\'d
be possible to have some API that counters that effect in you \"

Better get one of those headsets, then..  Thanks for all advice ^^

*thinks about being on DC*   ?(  Wouldn\'t it make you worse?

[Xalthar]

if this hasn\'t been tried, try turning up the frequensy of the screen or game to 75hz... that might help..

Savion\'s father can\'t play FPS or Racing games without feeling somewhat queazy after  1/2 an hour or so.

It\'s the same reason for car-sickness.  It\'s caused by conflicting signals from your eyes (which tell you you are moving) and your inner ear (which tells you you are stationary).  In some people this conflicting information to your brain causes nausea.  Any first person game can do it, and some are more prone to it than others.

Games solve this by bobbing, letting the camera go up and down, in some cases (bad frames) it can make things worse

solution: go buy barf bags

I felt the Game-Sickness too. I felt it with Duke Nukem 3D and another jet flier game, don\'t remember the name. I had to quit it was getting so bad. I don\'t experience it anymore thankfully.
