As Timesplitters 2 is out this friday and looks an amazing game. When i played the demo and also when playin Medal Of Honor, i got headaches.

They are the only FPS i've played on PS2, and i wondered if anyone else felt funny or felt bad after playin em.

Is it anything to do with motion sickness?

It just seems wired that it only happens in FPS games.

Yeah, I get headaches when I play FPS's aswell. Its more of a migrane which leads to me being sick every time. It happened today actually. I was sick 3 times.

And I know you all wanted to know this sooo... it looked like porridge.

I get a form of motion sickness when I play MOH. I can sometimes keep it in check, but a couple of times I've literally had to go and lie down in the middle of a game. I guess it's a side effect of the 'walking' motion cos I don't feel ill in racing games and there is just as much on-screen movement in those.

I get what they call Cronic Motion sickness because my brain cant register what is real and what is not and you get a nausere feeling. Only when I play FPS mind.

I think i'm right in saying that headaches only occurs in games that "bob" around when walkin/running? that's true for me anyway.

I can play unreal 2003 demo (pc) for ages and not feel ill, but 30 mins on medal of honor (ps2) and i have't turn it off.

There should be an option where you can turn on/off bobbin runnin.
