I tried to play for a bit, neither version locks the mouse in so I was constantly clicking stuff on my second monitor which was frustrating. But I had to stop due to motion sickness, something I normally donāt suffer from. Trying to figure out why that was the case here - tested again after typing those sentences and the mouse actually was getting locked to the window? So I have no idea why I was having that trouble before. Maybe alt-tabbing out once breaks it?
I first assumed it was a low FOV that caused the motion sickness, and Iām not sure that isnāt still a factor. Whatās it set at? Thereās something weird scaling wise around the edges on a 21:9 monitor that causes a really weird fisheye lens effect.
The same shots at 21:9 vs 16:9 resolution, showing just the edges get stretched out:
And in motion to show the issues:
I think there are still problems in 16:9 with FOV, the sudden jerkiness of the camera as you change elevation levels, the instant zooming, etc.. It was all a recipe for bad motion sickness. Obviously some of the waving around I did in the video is out of normal gameplay, but the start of the 21:9 footage is just normal looking around and moving forward.
With FOV options, no weird resolution fisheye lens stuff, the ability to adjust mouse aim, etc. I could see this being a fun game potentially!
