FOV

[DrDeath]

We need a FOV slider.

[Herded]

+1 Can only play a couple of hours at a time because of the narrow field of view.

sliding out the camera increases the FOV as a general rule.

I am sorry but you don't understand the concept of FoV. The distance of camera doesn't matter, its the "focal lenght" of the camera.

You're both right. It's not complicated: FoV = Field of View. It IS actually the camera distance in game because the camera distance is measured from the player's character.

The wider the FoV, the further the camera is away, it's that simple.

If you don't get it, turn on your cell phone camera, point it at the screen from a few inches away, then back up. Suddenly you can see more of the screen! It's magic! No, it's FoV - and camera distance.

Yeah. Currenly is too narrow for a 3rd person action packed video game.

hahah yep you'd think pc gamers knew this xd

They also should add a free benchmark to the steam library. People could test their system before buying the game. I don't need it, but many others I think would benifit from it.

FOV is not camera distance, I already explained it quite clearly:

A Field of View adjustment changes viewing angle a STATIONARY camera is capable of, up to 360 degrees both horizontally and vertically, effectively acting as our 'eyes' in FPS/TPS games.

Anywhere here playing on a 34" ultrawide 21:9 monitor?

I am. FOV is absolutely MANDATORY on ultrawide. This close is flat out unplayable.

That is true in a scenario of say playing Skyrim in first person but not in this scenario. It is hard to change the viewing angle of a game in third person without pulling the camera away from the player.

I strongly agree. I've never had a problem playing games with low FOV, but this game has got to have the lowest FOV I've ever seen and my eyes just can't take it anymore. I can't play for more than 20 minutes. It's absolutely pathetic and actually a little embarrassing for Avalanche to release a game on PC with this low of a FOV and no option to change it. I won't be able to play this game until somebody fixes it.

Yeah, I'm on a 29 inch and feel the same way.. I'm sure 34 inch is even worse.

It's always true, that's what a FOV is. Both FOV and camera distance exist in TPS's and people often confuse the two, primarily due to the translation of a 3d world to a 2d plane (monitor). However they are not the same, FOV is never camera distance.

Just look at the fovfactor command for Just Cause 2 - that game has a very zoomed in default view as well, and adjusting the field of view can give the impression that the camera is moving, when it's actually stationary.

fov still makes a huge difference in 3rd person games when the default is so damn low. You don't even have to raise it that much to get rid of the motion sickness that a low and zoomed in default can incur on a PC.

even better UNLOCK THE INI FILE AND GIVE US A TONN OF OPTIONS!! SO WE CAN HAVE IT THE WAY WE LIKE. i prefer a 100+ in both tps and fps

Slider please. Can't play this for extended periods. Fine if I play on my 55" from the couch. Yuck if I play (and prefer) at my desk on a 27".
