Onwarrd proves locomotion is okay!

So there is a military sim where you use the analog on the touch to move.   No teleportation necessary.  And yah you feel a little weird at first but it goes away rather quickly especially when bullets start flying and your mind begins worrying about other things.  Other devs need to check this game out and learn a bit from it so we can finally move away form the teleportation stuff.

Teleportation is here to stay. There is nothing to learn, people still get sick playing it, and I'm not taking any chances.

True, locomotion is the way to go, same goes for Serious Sam.

I feel like onwards acceleration is just right where you don't quite feel that though. It's not too fast and it doesn't start too fast either

People get sick because they don't want to work on it...I used to get sick on my DK2, did short sessions here and there, and now, nothing, absolutely nothing makes me sick. If people avoid free locomotion because they think they wil get sick, well they will get sick for the rest of their lives...People have to get use to it.

Exactly! .. Everyone who still gets Sick are too lazy or scared to work on adapting. It's not that hard! You just have to have a solid understanding of your orientation. Just conciously think "which way am I facing right now", "which way am I turning right now?". Move your head/body in a way that you would if you were turning in that direction.
