'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR' Patch News: Smooth Turning Now Available Following Fan Campaign
Since the release of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR," fans have been clear with their demands to Bethesda: introduce the option for smooth turning to virtual reality title. Finally, after a massive fan campaign, the developer implemented the feature with the most recent update to the game.
Previously, the game's launch version used a mechanic know as snap-turning as part of its movement scheme. Also known as click-turning, it aimed to reduce the symptoms of simulation sickness experienced by some VR users.
However, the decision received a mixed reception due to the fact that some players don't suffer from simulation sickness. Some players found snap-turning distracting enough to break the immersion that is integral to the whole VR experience.
