Sonic Fact

[Face]

The original Sonic game had to be slowed down as it caused motion sickness in anyone who played it.

Too much blast processing I guess eh Sega? Seriously though I'd like to see the game before slowing it down, like how fast was Sonic?

Sadly there is no footage of gameplay, it was on a documentary i found on the creation of sonic in youtube, in one part it the creator from japan said about it, just thought it was cool.

Aw too bad. It is cool little fact. I guess it doesn't matter now ever since Sonic is super fast in Unleashed, Colours, and Generations.

Any source? Seems farfetched. Considering motion sickness is a result of fluids moving in your ear.

It's not uncommon to get motionsickness from video games. I used to get some motion sickness from FPS games before I got really used to them.

I still want a source on the opening fact though.

For some research I did a year and a half ago, I used a VR headset to plunge my participants in a 3D environment. About 60% got motion sickness when I played the roller coaster demo for fun at the end of the experiment

The eyes say "we're moving" and the brain is like "lolwut, no we're not, the ear fluids ain't doing nuthin'". Then the confusion leads to motion sickness

Sanic has to go fast, this is false.

Sanic has to go at least 1 billion sanics or it isn't a sanic game.
