Does anyone know if the new Observer fixes the motion sickness the old one seemed to give a lot of people?
Grogan Jul 12, 2023
Cloudpunk is surprisingly good. I'm not a fan of those voxel art graphics, but flying through the city is very colourful and pleasing. The buildings etc. look pretty good and the vehicle is nice to control. While the in-game characters look terrible (like bad minecraft lego people or something), the faces and the com channel dialog are pretty good and it has a story that made me want to continue, the missions/deliveries were somewhat interesting and the characters have character.

P.S. Note that I have a VERY low tolerance for crap. They did very well to make me like such a game.

It's less grimy and dark since they changed the overall art direction, the brighter and cleaner environment helps out, plus there's now a FOV slider in the settings. I can't say more than it's potentially better but there's no single answer for motion sickness. I never had any issues with the original version myself, but I have never seen or heard of another game that caused so much agony for so many people. Only one way to find out, I'm afraid.

I recommend Ghostrunner very much. Super fun and fast paced game.

When I read that name, I thought it was a new city builder in the Anno series, set in a cyberpunk universe.

They are taking a big risk using that name. "Anno" is probably a trademark, and I wouldn't blame Ubisoft is they sued the developer. That series has been around for decades, they can't pretend they had never heard of it...

What gave the motion sickness to you exactly?
I personally played it at launch and after tweaking the ini files to increase the FoV,disable the idiotic chromatic abberation, disable depth of field and remove the 63 fps cap, it was pretty ok to play and i quite enjoyed it. Played the native linux build and back near the launch, so things might have changed a lot since.
Or was there some weird HeadBobbing issue?

Anno is Italian word for year. You can't trademark a common use word like that.

You'd think that… I'd think that… But somehow someone could trademark the common use words windows, word, scrolls, etc. and managed to keep those trademarks.

I'm honestly not sure. Probably the combo of the fov, view bobbing and the prevelance of strobing lighting effects. I just know I couldn't put more than half an hour into the game without feeling terrible. I did try fixign the FOV, and it helped some, but having that kind of feeling around what should just be fun entertainment kind of kept me from pursuing it further.

For me it mostly that. And motion blur makes it worse.

Dead Island Riptide without the mod is very bad in the first chapter with the added view sway to simulate a ship in heavy sea.
