Motion Sickness & XBOX360

Aydah76 · 29-08-2005, 02:25 AM

Okay as all of you may or may not have experienced but some games make you nauseous as hell and a good example is half-life 2 and a lot of people were saying due to how realistic the graphics quality is. Another example is Halo. I know some of you are thinking "This never happened to me" but I am pretty sure it happened to a lot of other people. Do you think MS addressed this issue at all (that is if there is an issue to begin with) maybe we who experience this are just wimps? I dont know. What do you think?

I wouldn’t say wimps, most hard core gamers, really don’t get noshes because when their playing, there really focusing on one target and not looking at the screen as a whole.
I’m shore every one of us got noshes once in our lives, but then we got used to the games.

When I first play half life 2, I played for 6 hour striate, when I stopped playing and went about my own business, that’s when it hit me, but that was the last time, maybe the reassign it effected me like that was because I play console game primarily, so I was used to playing farther away form the screen, and the fist time I rally played a PC game my face was, what 2 feet from the screen. Wile I was playing a very detailed game.

To answer your question, NO I don’t think it’s a big problem, people do adapt.

i get it in most FPS on Ps2 and Gamecube. never had the problem on xbox though.

The only thing I can put it down to is bad frame rate on ps2 and GC.

First time i've heard of motion sickness when gaming, never had sickness before.

co_ray · 29-08-2005, 07:40 AM

yeah, i guess that in a game like halo you could get motion sickness from the way the game plays...never had it myself....

Romper Stomper · 29-08-2005, 08:15 AM

That only happens to me because sometimes I get glued to the TV and haven't eaten for like two meals :/

daniel.isaac.h · 31-08-2005, 02:20 PM

Get glasses... helped me.

Jeet · 31-08-2005, 02:22 PM

used to get it when i played goldeneye 64

It probably won't happen on 360 from the graphics because it happened with Half Life 2 with the first person driving, that combined with the physics, and the fact your rocking on a boat in near-perfect physics of the water, made some people sick. Don't exactly know why Halo would do it, maybe from the upbeat gameplay for too long. But graphics don't really have much to do with it.

Nah, Xbox games wouldn't do that. But some GameCube And PS2 Games may, such as Resident Evil.

I get sick playing games in the car (while in motion). Though, I also get sick if I'm in the car when the suns comming up (while I'm looking at it or driving into it.).

BTW-I'm 18

i have played straitly 83 hours on Final Fantasy XI only then when i got some sort of sickness but i dont play that long any more cuz i have other things to do lol

SMZY · 06-09-2005, 08:45 AM

Never really had this problem or heard of it so even if there are people that this happens to its not a big problem so microsoft wouldnt dare spend the time or money fixing it

Arqentus · 06-09-2005, 05:25 PM

Motion Sickness comes from 2 things, atleased what i have noticed.

1. Games who hover or dip below 30fps. The image isent as smooth to your eyes, as it shocks, and this in term makes people feel bad.

2. The monitor choice is also a factor. With a CRT i had motion sickness very fast ( and red eyes / headpain ). When i switched to a LCD, it was gone. I can do hours on end, and dont have any problem more with motion sickness ( unless point 1 heapons ofcourse

).

Arqentus · 06-09-2005, 05:34 PM

Also, almost forgot. Light that keeps changing a lot between dark & bright, is also a nice trigger for motion sickness ( or worse, attacks if you are proune to it ).

xxxHedpexxx · 07-09-2005, 01:20 PM

I've never gotten sick from playing games. Don't know anybody that has either. For all those people who have I've got a question for you. Do you ever get sick on rides?

Arqentus · 07-09-2005, 07:47 PM

Sometimes xxHeppexxx. All depends on the ride

It's not like we are all puking our guts out after 10min playing, but in the old days on my crt monitor, after a hour playing tfc or other fast action games, combined with sometimes low fps, you start to feel your stumach turn. And thats the sign to stop playing, or it gets worse & worse from there.

Note: like i said, sinds i have a TFT, it's all gone this motion sickness feeling. Just to show how bad CRT's can be with there lightflashes.
