Game Informer - Cyberpunk 2077 Epileptic PSA

"When "suiting up" for a BD, especially with Judy, V will be given a headset that is meant to onset the instance. The headset fits over both eyes and features a rapid onslaught of white and red blinking LEDs, much like the actual device neurologists use in real life to trigger a seizure when they need to trigger one for diagnosis purposes. If not modeled off of the IRL design, it's a very spot-on coincidence, and because of that this is one aspect that I would personally advise you to avoid altogether. When you notice the headset come into play, look away completely or close your eyes. This is a pattern of lights designed to trigger an epileptic episode and it very much did that in my own personal playthrough."

This is not good. They need to fix this ASAP!

To be fair, haven't there been seizure warnings in games since the PS1 days? Maybe even Genesis/SNES days?

@Xplode_games: There are epileptic warnings going back years. Still, CDPR have said they are implementing a solution ASAP. Anyway, waste of a thread with a simple Google search.

"What else can go wrong"

I wasn't aware anything had gone wrong?

@NathanDrakeSwag: The game doesn't even have 100% on metacritic. Major fail.

@Telekill: I believe there have been warnings on many games. It’s usually when starting up the game you see that warning.

Yes, but that's just a cover-their-ass disclaimer in most situations.

It's an entirely different thing to actually have those lights in the game itself on purpose.

I love seizure inducing stuff in games and anime just like I like smelling paint dry its just good to be bad sometimes I dunno what it is but it just feels right.

seizure type media its a staple of a good product screw people who actually get seizures imo if you can't stand the heat get out the kitchen and don't play it don't complain about it.
