So I've had my psvr since launch day in North America.
I played a bunch of games when it came out some made me sick others didnt.
I abandoned it to my closet though because the motion sickness would RUIN me for the rest of my day when I used it.
I tried it again a few months ago when I purchased until dawn rush of blood. Two different play sessions later and two more days ruined from the sickness I put it away again.
Tonight I picked up farpoint vr with the aim controller and tried that out. Made it till just past the first spider things you shoot and had to rip the thing off my face and sit down. Severely soaked in sweat and doing everything in my power to not lose my supper.
Will this ever go away or am I invested into a piece of hardware that I simply cannot stomach and will be forced to sell it?
As others have suggested, stick to games that don't make you sick (do you remember which ones were ok?) at first. I really takes some time to earn your VR legs.
At first I could not play games like Driveclub, Battlefront, Rigs... I tried these on the demo disc and could tell right away that I could not handle these. It's very important to stop right away once you realize a game is not for you.
The main reason I got PSVR was REZ, which I could handle as long as I did not use dynamic mode which adds more dynamic movement to the rail movement. So I stuck to REZ, Rush of Blood (the rollercoster sections could be intense, but not in a way of making me sick but how you expect a rollercoster to feel like), Wayward Sky. I had a hard time playing Robot Rescue from the Playroom VR collections at first too, but that was doable.
Over the course of maybe 2 weeks playing daily, mostly REZ and Rush of Blood I found myself not reacting to movement as much as before. Which was kind of disappointing for Rush of Blood as I loved those rollercoster sections and how these went to your stomach. So I decided to try the dynamic mode in REZ again, and now it was great to play. I still felt the movement but it was not making me feel sick like before. So that was how I now played the game.
I don't know how long it took, but after a while I decided to give the Driveclub demo another try (a game I couldn't even play for 30 seconds at first) and suddenly I could play the demo, I still had problems when I was moving my body when driving, but if I was sitting still it was fine. So I was really improving my VR legs.
I remember playing quite a bit of VR Luge (that downhill racing game in VR Worlds) once I could handle movement a little better, after that I started playing Scavengers Odyssey (also VR Worlds), only a few minutes at a time but after maybe a week of doing so I could play this running around and jumping (even double jumping). By then I ended up buying Driveclub VR, as I could now play it without a problem at all. I even bought Windlands when it released... I can now play any VR game without any comfort settings (felt a bit queasy after play Mervils for 2 hours though).
As for you right now, I would suggest Rez, Thumper, Static, SuperHot, Rush of Blood, ... there are many static games to play even if you never end up being able to play games with smooth movement, but you gotta start with those static games and take baby steps in earning your VR legs. You cannot expect to jump in and play stuff like RE7 right away. Well, some people can, a friend of mine could play Windlands on the first night I showed him VR just fine.
Sorry for this wall of text btw.
