Motion settings

Also said as Reduce motion, Motion sickness options, Camera shake setting, Photosensitivity options

Controls over how much the picture moves by itself: camera shake, head bob, motion blur, flashes, field of view. They are for people who get ill or disoriented from on-screen movement, and they should default to the system's reduced-motion setting where one exists.

Motion sickness is physical, and no amount of willpower helps. A player who feels ill after ten minutes won't give you a second chance, and they often won't know which of your effects was to blame.

“Put camera shake, head bob and motion blur on sliders in the first-run settings, reading from the system's reduced-motion preference. Keep all flashes under three a second.”

The Last of Us Part II has a Motion sickness section: camera shake and motion blur on sliders from 1 to 10, camera distance, and full-screen effects you can switch off.

Screen shake is one effect. Motion settings are the controls over all such effects, and every shake you add should have one.
