And I went to start the training level. About 30 seconds in I got nauseous. I had forgotten how badly computer FPS make me sick.

I haven't had a decent computer capable of running a good FPS since the late 90s. I have been mainly a console gamer (except for strategy games).

Never really had a problem with Halo, or Perfect Dark, or any of the other FPS console games. I mean sometimes, but that was usually at 3 in the morning after 7 straight hours of gaming. That just meant it was time to go to bed. I figured games had gotten better with framerates and such that they didn't bother me much.

But it came back last night. So am I screwed? Just going to have to fight thru it? I can't believe there is such a difference playing a FPS on a big TV screen and playing one on my monitor.

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else have this big of a difference in reaction to consoles vs. computers?

Never heard of anyone getting sick from a FPS. How close do you sit to the monitor?

Where you been? It has been discussed for years, decades even.

TecmoBowl,

You are not the only one - I have the same problem with 99% of FP shooters.

Ok, missed that groundbreaking study courtesy of the US military. Seems a bit of a stretch to compare military sims with the very wide view they offer, like 270 degrees or something to a FPS which is watched on a 15, 17, 19 or whatever computer monitor.

Nah, this has been around a long while. I remember when i first had quake with the original voodoo card. My wife could not sit there and watch it. Also a few friends suffer from this same problem with games like half life.

I've never heard of people getting sick from playing a FPS before, guess you do learn something new everyday.
