I'd love to try this, but but I tend to get motion sick playing doom. It seems to be one of the few FPS games that I can't handle for more than a couple minutes at a time.

Older "2.5D" game engines (like vanilla Doom and the BUILD engine) use a number of tricks to simulate a three-dimensional scene that can be disorienting, especially when your player-character is looking up or down, crouching, leaning, or otherwise not looking directly straight. Modern engines like GZDoom or eDuke32 have full-fledged 3D renderers, rather than the quasi-3D renderers of old. If you don't get motion sickness playing modern games, then playing Doom on an engine with a modern renderer might be helpful.

  I think you're overthinking the problem. Doom has a really deep view-bobbing motion along with a slow and deep, not quite in sync weapon bobbing motion. There's no looking up or down, crouching, leaning or in any way not looking directly straight, and Duke Nukem 3D which had all of those things never seemed to bother any of my friends like Doom did. I've always assumed it was the view bobbing/weapon bobbing combo, though maybe I'm the one underthinking it.

Doom was honestly not made to be played on the massive screens we have today I feel, and without adjusting for that, you're gonna have a bad time.

Peer comments are correct, but also: Doom is FAST. Doom 2016 is known for feeling pretty fast and chaotic compared to other modern FPSes. Here's some gameplay footage: https://youtu.be/Fy0AoehoYb4?t=81 https://youtu.be/Fy0AoehoYb4?t=81 Compare that to Doom 2: https://youtu.be/NDBazH7aZbY?t=1350 https://youtu.be/NDBazH7aZbY?t=1350 Doom is extremely fast by design. So... it takes some getting used to.

That comes from using "always run" in classic Doom/Quake etc.
