Why Control Resonant can trigger motion sickness
Fast movement is the main trigger in a melee action game, and Shift is the fast move here. Remedy says Shift Tunneling is there if you are sensitive to motion, and Can I Play That? describes it as an adjustable vignette that appears while you Shift. The image effects matter too. Remedy says the graphics options let you adjust the presentation to make the image more comfortable to play with.
- Rapid movement when using Shift
- Motion blur and depth of field on the image
- Lens distortion, film grain and vignetting, which Remedy lets you switch off
