I think I remember reading this somewhere but I'm not 100% sure. Seeing as their are no games of interest to me coming out this summer, I am currently going through my games and beating the ones I haven't beat yet. I started playing The Orange Box again tonight and had to stop because I got extremely dizzy. Even now, an hour after, I am still feeling the effects. Anyone else have this problem?
No but on the instruction manual it says if you experience dizziness discontinue playing the game. Theres probably some lighting/flashing in the game that makes some people dizzy or worse it can cause seizures. I suggest you stay away from it.

Half Life..The first one on the list, episode one maybe
k well like i saied ur suppose to just take a little break if u feel it im not suprised u dont get dizzy with portal i kinda do just cuz that game is fricken insane.
Yep, the frame rate is not that good on that game, no wonder, it's a port from the PC so yes I noticed it especially through some repetitive boring missions to be completely honest. Portal is by far the better game on that disc.
Yea I have the same problem. I only get it from older FPS games like the original Doom. It's almost like a motion sickness from the cheesey animation. (Not that older FPS games are bad)
Yes I know exactly what you mean. It happened with me for the first Half-Life, which I couldn't beat because of it, so I bought the Orange Box hoping it wouldn't happen again. But whenever I play it, I feel extremely bad, like my head is swelling, and all I want to do is have a cold shower and cool down. I've looked into this, and it is due to the fact that the Field of View in the Half-Life games is 75 degrees instead of the usual 90 degrees. I don't know why the developers chose to do this, because even though it is very subtle, it is disorienting due to the fact that it causes a sort of tunnel vision.
yes, i get this to. its called motion sickness. i noticed this when i got my n64 i played golden eye. the halflife games have the angles at a different one then regular FPS games out there.
i played golden eye i didn't feel good then i through up and i kept on playing my mom thought it was funny. when i got the orange box my friend played it i lfet because i didn't feel good when i got hom i through up. it was funny my mom was talking to me. she said what did u buy at machaels (its a craft store, bought for art class) i said pens *barf* pencis aaahh mom i just through up, "yes i can hear that".
a couple days ago i got dizzy from playing cod4 at my friends house. this was wierd because i have teh game and never got dizzy at my house. maybe it was because he has a normal screen tv while i have a widescreen tv?
it doesn't make me dizzy but it has a different viewing angle than other games. i believe most games are 90 degrees whereas this one is 80 but don't quote me on that. something to the effect of covering a different amount of degrees from stretching/compressing the image on the sides. i don't know.
well this thread makes me feel good no game but guitar hero makes me dizzy and that's not dizzy, it's just that if i play too long and look at stuff in the room it goes up in my plane of vision. pretty crazy.

I got motion sick play through Morrowind on the original Xbox. It bummed me out, because I really wanted to play that game. The best advice is to either take more frequent breaks or just play another game. :(
Funny I did a thread like this long time ago about the orange box :D Here's the link to it with a poll if you're interested with what others said. I guess it's what the posters here mentioned that causes it...the "field view" or "motion blur" of the game. I know it's only with Orange box because I never felt it while playing GRAW, RSV, GoW and CoD4.
Half Life 2 (PC) makes me dizzy aswell as CoD4 on 360 sometimes. Some other games I can remember making me dizzy were Hitman (PC), Medal of Honour (PS1), and I think Perfect Dark (N64). I dunno why only some games make me dizzy and others I can play just fine.
