Why Red Dead Redemption (2010) can trigger motion sickness
The game is played from a third-person view, and much of the open world is crossed on horseback, so the view keeps moving. No source we opened lists a way to widen the view or reduce camera shake. On PC, motion blur can be switched off, which keeps the picture sharper while the camera pans.
- Long rides on horseback across the open world, where the view pans continuously
- Motion blur while the camera moves, which PC players can disable
- A fixed field of view, since no setting is listed
