Last time, whenever I play first person shooter (FPS) games on PC or old consoles eg. saturn, playstation, etc., I always feel dizzy and nausea.

Knowing most popular games on PS3 and XBOX360 are FPS kind, would I still be dizzy? Or is the graphics/motion better now, I won't have to worry? Anyone who has my dizzy problem before and gotten new consoles?

ahhh, this problem.

there is a way to overcome this.
its like practice your brain. play FPS games
daily and when it starts to get a bit dizzy stop
for 5 minutes and stare away from the screen.
go focus on green grass or something else.
alot of people force themselves playing FPS
will lessen and eventually will not get
headaches anymore

first, you must understand what causes the headache.
it is caused by the brain. when you're playing FPS games
your eyes telling that you are moving. while your other
sense telling that you are in a static position. so the brain
is confused which cause the headache. practicing will overcome
this problem. or you could just disable the "weapon bobbing"
to lessen the effect.

a fine example i can take is by big bro.
he suffer headaches when playing FPS games.
because of Gears of War, he force himself to play
and adopt until the headache is gone

Gears Of War is not fps, it's TPS....

dude...you studying to be a psychologist or something?

but still using a FPS style setup,no?

lolz...
play FPS till headache..
i prefer TPS... prince os persia, lost planet, metal gear solid..
don like FPS game..

usually it's because of the natural, realistic view of FPSes. especially over the years, when motion in games have become more realistic.

just have to get used to it gradually, ie turning off weapon bob and all that jazz, and slowly increasing it.

those who have been playing FPSes for a very long time will not feel anything, but those new to FPSes are prone to motion sickness. some, at least.

Nope...you never play it right....kesian...

dont forget seating position.
sitting too near the tv=

doesnt it use the left analog stick to move,and right analog stick to look around?

Hmmm.... looking at some top rated games from gamespot, looks like xbox has more FPS or shooter games than ps3.

ps3 : http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?type=to...all&sortdir=asc

TS, i'm a person who don't play FPS mainly due to past episodes of motion sickness. however, on the 360 and ps3, they do offer playable game demos - e.g condemned, FEAR, darkness, bioshock, jericho, etc. i did try those short demos and feel fine for most of them. i tried playing xbox halo2 but started feel dizzy around the 2nd hour. xbox half-life 2 was fine though - i clocked 3 hours non-stop before.

i think motion sickness sometime occur due to the FOV (field of vision) and the smoothness of the game while in motion. so if u get ps360, u can try out those demos to see the effect on you.

hmm... any businesses out there for playing PS3/360 games on hourly charge or free demos? Maybe can try.

I think Singapore has such places with free demos .... saw before but no time to try at TRU, department stores and electronic stores.

I have the same problem when playing FPS games too. But for Gears Of War, I would force myself playing more than 1 hour, coz that game really shiok, I can hardly put down my control....., cheers....

Hohoho...presenting Dr. Shiney

whn i get dizzy i get after effects meaning even whn i stop playin. it really makes me feel like throwing up. real bad.. only happen whns there is noticeable lags in the game.. haha

If u've have experienced this type of symptom while playing FPS, chances are that u are allergic to the Xbox360. So, its better to buy the PS3.

P.S: I'm just kidding bro.
