Game Content
What comfort options are available in Bulletstorm VR?
Tunneling/Vignetting
This effect darkens the edges of view while the player is in motion to reduce discomfort. The strength of this effect can be altered to suit players’ preferences in the options menu.
Blink/Teleport
Players can choose between smooth locomotion and teleport. If players select teleport, a fade-through black effect known as a ‘blink’ is applied to smooth the transition to improve player comfort.
Stereoscopic/2D Cutscenes
Players can choose whether cutscenes render flat or in stereoscopic 3D, similar to a 3D film at the cinema. Some players find the stereoscopic effect uncomfortable, so this option is toggleable in the options menu.
Dash/Slide
In Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition, players can quickly Slide into enemies and traverse distance. In Bulletstorm VR, the option to switch to a standing dash is available in the options to increase comfort.
