Why Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus can trigger motion sickness
First person ties the camera to B.J. Blazkowicz's body, so every step, strafe and sprint moves the view. Bethesda's PC post lists three image effects that blur or smear the picture: motion blur, chromatic aberration and depth of field. The Field of View slider is the other main lever. None of the developer sources opened list a head bob switch.
- Head bob and weapon movement in a first-person shooter
- Motion blur, chromatic aberration and depth of field
- A field of view you can raise to 120 on PC, with no slider listed for console
