Bulletstorm HEAD BOB Option, how many FPS Nausea sufferers want it?

[ur_unholyness]

I'm not sure if this is already available but I would love to have an option to disable the head bobbing in Bulletstorm. FPS games make me nauseated almost instantly and I know that I'm not the only one with this problem. Adding the option to disable this option would help people like me a lot. Others might complain the game loses realism but hey, I'm not asking to get rid of, just an option to turn it off if I need to. What do you guys think?

It took a year before unreal3 stopped making me feel sick after half an hour. If I enable Bloom/DepthOfFeild I still get it (for unreal3, it seems ok in bioshock etc). Head bobing along with motion blurring better be disable damn it.

Head bobbing doesn't make me sick. It just annoys me.

Nah, skrew it. I want to see people QQ'ing about how they threw up over the monitor whilst playing Bulletstorm.

I'm not saying it should be gotten rid of completely, just available as an option to disable/turn off. You still can hear stories of people puking if they suffer from simulation sickness and played it without disabling head bobbing.

Are there enough people to even warrant the need for this?

I never had this particular problem in UT3, only the red flashing was causing a great strain to the eyes.

From the Wikipedia link provided by azurescorch, some reporting sickness are Air Force pilots

Simulation sickness
Simulation sickness, or simulator sickness, is a condition where a person exhibits symptoms similar to motion sickness caused by playing computer/simulation/video games.[1]
...
The symptoms are often described as quite similar to that of motion sickness. Some can range from headache, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, vomiting and sweating. Research done at the University of Minnesota had students play Halo for less than an hour, and found that up to 50 percent felt sick afterwards.[11]

In a study conducted by U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in a report published May 1995 titled "Technical Report 1027 - Simulator Sickness in Virtual Environments", out of 742 pilot exposures from 11 military flight simulators, "approximately half of the pilots (334) reported post-effects of some kind: 250 (34%) reported that symptoms dissipated in less than 1 hour, 44 (6%) reported that symptoms lasted longer than 4 hours, and 28 (4%) reported that symptoms lasted longer than 6 hours. There were also 4 (1%) reported cases of spontaneously occurring flashbacks."

There are quite a few, this forum is just a big disappointment in terms of number of users, since I've seen multiple posts about this issue with FPSs in general on other forums.

Oh ya that's stupid.

They should just not have it in the game period.

[EpicGames4Life]

No. It doesn't bother me.

Oh you mean like in Borderlands when you're sprinting? That didn't effect me at all but it would be nice to have an option to turn it off for the people that can't handle it.

It's like the turn off Gore option for Gears of War. It's there for those that need it. The rest of us can forget it even exists.

I say put it in for the ones that want it (That's what she said :D)

[Moloko]

Yes -Maybe, hmm nice options -how about; no- it's annoying and unrealistic as it's just a fixed view moving , like someone shaking your monitor?

[ur_unholyness]

Is Epic Games even looking at these forums? I hope they consider this request and maybe even let people know about it to help out there own sales. If people like me who don't even give a second glance to a FPS may actually consider this awesome looking game if they are aware that it does in fact support the option to turn off the nausea inducing camera/headbobbing.......
