Can the view-tilting while moving be turned off?

Prey sure did have some wacky motion-sickness moments with all the gravity-shifting and playing with sizes. The decor couldn't have helped either!

 

The word of the day is "orifice".

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

For some reason, the hour or so of Half Life 2 I played bothered me. Not sick, just... weird. First time ever in a game, and Descent never bothered me a bit (quite a thrill, actually). I think it may be the narrower FOV? Isn't HL2 something like 70 degrees instead of 90? I could be wrong.

 

Edit: Interesting, answered my own question. Yup:

You can tweak that so that it's more to your liking/won't make you sick. Bring down the console (ctrl-alt-shift-~), and adjust the cvars:

 

pm_bobroll

pm_bobpitch

pm_bobup

 

E.g., setting them all to zero will make the view coast along steady.

 

Thank you for posting this. This is truly an exceptional mod, and a very welcomed console fix for head-bob.

 

I gamed/lived for 25+ years without experiencing motion sickness, with the sole exception being a really terrible Jaws bargain-bin game. . . nothing that ejecting the disc and breaking it into pieces couldn't cure. But since then, I've been fighting with Multiple Scleroris, and my particular flavor of the disease has given me near-constant positional vertigo. It's a bit like being drunk. . . the room will start spinning and/or it feels like the ground is moving beneath me. It's a mild nuisance at worst, and generally doesn't have an effect on gaming, but I've noticed that head-bob, more than anything else, causes motion-sickness/nausea for me in FPS's. I tried to play the first Bad Company on the 360 when it released, but the game lacked the option to turn-off head-bob (or I simply didn't see it). It rendered the game unplayable for me. I saw Bioshock mentioned in the discussion above, but it didn't bother me for some reason. I don't mind missing out on some of the mindless crap EA shovels, but it would have been a shame to have been unable to experience Rapture.

 

Anyhow, I wanted to thank all of you for creating such a great mod, and for the ability to disable head-bob. It's allowing me to enjoy the Thief universe without worrying about how to clean vomit out of a keyboard.

 

Thanks again,

JS

Wow people asking questions that are already answered in previous posts. Read the thread!

 

I never got any motion sickness from games, but man oh man I had a sore neck from bending back and forward in Descent. Not that it made me see more of what the screen had to offer but that I was so into the game that my body was following movement angles of the ship!!

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
