Would a VR Action Platformer cause too much nausea?? (Forums : Ideas & Concepts : Would a VR Action Platformer cause too much nausea??) Locked

Hi All,

My team is about to start development on a VR Action Platformer. We created a survey to see if people would be interested in the idea before we started active development. We'd really appreciate it if you could fill out the survey if you like or hate the general idea. We also didn't just want to put out the survey without giving back so included at the end of the survey is a link to a 4k wallpaper from a level mockup we did.

Only 3 minutes to complete, and we'll love you forever! :)

Game Idea:
VR Action Platformer where the player plays as a hero in training. The player gains new superpowers by completing missions and exploring the general area. Each power has a movement (and possibly attack) focused ability. By combining multiple abilities players will be able to create their traversal systems (allowing the player to adapt the VR experience to what they can enjoy). We plan for the missions to be timed courses where you have to get to location in a certain amount or catch up to a specific object. We also want to add in attacking, however, we fear it might be a bit much with the fast movement in VR. Finally, we plan to add a ton of skins and visual focused loot.

Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think! :)

Not that im.gunna write anything your team has not already said but im already on one so F#%k it
VR is still so early days... and on that principle id simply say... Go for it! Be the root of the Grass!
With regards to your question about Dizziness Etc ill advice two things
1) The VR industry, while making great leaps in gaming, education even medicine, overall the industry in
VR are still to Understand the POSSIBLE long term mental side effects of VR and graphical input on a whole
new platform. Simply Put, i dont know if POLYIBUS really excisted but i know Pokemon green was released in
Japan, kids went to Lavender town, heard high frequency sounds in the music and then committed suicide, so
before pokemon Red and Blue were released in the west, the music was changed and all this happened on a platform
called GAMEBOY... whuch leads me to the second point.
2) You are proving Right now that you care enough about your Consumer! And to answer your question, yes it may make
people dissy/nausea, but its not like your not Pre Pre warning us.and creating debate.

Hope this helps.
