high FOV players are mentally ill

for me it's 106 horizontal (16:9), 74 vertical

hey OP you dropped this!

>>714664145 (OP)
looks fine to me

>>714664242
That's way too much, 91 is perfect for 16:9

>>714664145 (OP)
110 fov is my choice.

>>714664353
>60 vertical fov
way too low

>>714664145 (OP)
t. slop eater

>>714664504
That 60 FOV is actually the distance between the player and a TV with console. Its why it is a low FOV since it's not in your face like a monitor is.

>>714664242
anything past 100-105 vertical (converted 125-132 hori, 115-120 quake) is unnecessary, anything past 120 vert (140 hori, 130 quake) is retarded

an eye patch?

luv me high FoV

I always set it as close to 110 as possible. Used to do 106 because of Source.

guess the game

They should arrest any game dev that puts a vertical FOV slider in their game.

>>714664145 (OP)
>I can see fer fookin' my-els
For me it's 120.
If Weapons clip too much, I'll go lower, I gueeeessss... bleh

I usually do 100 but sometimes 90 in those games where it fisheyes more. I'm not sure why it's like that, you'd think it would be the same in every game but it's not. Minecraft looks really weird at 100, like it stretches out too close to the center of the screen or something.

>>714665551
idk chivalry

>>714665217
the problem with this is if you want to see what's behind you, you have to look at both the left and right side of your screen

>>714665551
Chiv II baybee!

>>714665854
The game scales horizontal FoV more aggressively than vertical, so you start getting the fisheye.

>>714665824
you only have five minutes left to kill hitler and you have nothing better to do as to get the underwater gun achievement, just look how quike your oxygen level is siking, glow and semen are high up mr.Chad so how about you help your escorted grill who is being attacked, return to the surface or learn to swim, jack.

>>714665868
>>714665893
close, mordhau. back before the game was released i posted footage from the alpha and someone drew that image saying it looked ridiculous

>Had a friend who would autisticly screech at me for having a FOV even slightly lower than the max settings
I had to start lying about how high I set it or else he'd have a bitch fit lol

>>714664145 (OP)
As high as it can go for me.

>>714664145 (OP)
AH KEN SEE FUR FUCKIN MIYULZ

>>714665854
because some games use horizontal fov and some use vertical fov

You will NOT use a FoV higher than 55 - more is actively destroy the developer intent and you are ruining your experience.

Most games were not made with higher FOV in mind. Although the Slider was a must in PC games, most games didn't take that into account. In fact, many PCs couldn't handle higher FOVs' you can count on your hands how many games are made for higher FOV.

>>714665551
i was going to say dark souls when you stab the pigs in the asshole but then i realized this isn't a giant asshole

>>714664145 (OP)
finally an fov that doesn't give me motion sickness.

>>714664582
Distance from the screen doesn't mean shit.
I can't see a fucking thing.

>>714664145 (OP)
Only game where low FoV makes sense are first person horror games.
It just makes me sick and claustrophobic.

>>714664145 (OP)
Northern Journey has 120 FOV by default and it's kinda nauseating
Dev later added the 105 FOV option, and it's much better, although it breaks the glider section

I'll let the faggots ruin their aim with these shitty fovs. They don't even notice they're only making their target smaller and harder to aim at, while destroying how the side of their screen looks. Just garbage all around where there are alternatives like manipulating the field of view itself which can go a low way, or use one of the perspective correction shaders.

I play with 360 degree FOV. And even I can't see the reason kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

holy FVCK...

>>714669792
Racing game devs rarely use this simple trick, instead they use retarded blur.

>>714664145 (OP)
>FOV is a slider with no numbers
>setting it all the way to the right is still too small
hate this shit in games

>>714664145 (OP)
Most of the time I use something between 70 and 90.

>>714664145 (OP)
cg_Fov 80 & cg_FovScale 1.125 is the sweet spot for me

>>714664145 (OP)
>low FOV fags can't even see the enemy approaching from behind
ngmi

For me, it's 73.

Why can't we choose kino 4:3 anymore?

>>714667469
Do you have little guys with swords and shields coming out of your asshole. Or trying to get in there I guess

>>714664145 (OP)
High POV fags just have prey vision

high FOV users were just prey animals in another life

>>714670886
um, based!

>>714664145 (OP)
I just play at 100 fov, that's all. It works, I like it.

>>714670819
counter strike pros mainly play on 4:3

>>714669792
Like, I've noticed this effect when playing around with FOV in many games, but my brain just can't wrap around the how and why of it

>>714664145 (OP)
Ultrawide owner here, love the default FOV most of the time.
I only play singleplayer games anyway , as long as it's not too low it's fine.

Also remember higher resolutions allow for higher FoV as you have the pixel density (well, you should) to see objects as they get smaller to the camera viewpoint.

It's a balance, theoretically you want things to not distort as much center VS edge of screen. You want things to look as much as the same size as possible regardless of where in the screen it is.
>>714671645
wastes half of their screen with stretched sides.

80 degrees FOV is optimal

>>714664145 (OP)
110-120 fov is the correct choice. anything lower and I assume you're 50+ years old

If your FoV is less than 360, you're gimping yourself.

perfect

Is there a math formula to determinate the optimal fov according to resolution and aspect ratio, viewer distance etc?

>>714664145 (OP)
i need like 130-135 or else i get a headache

>>714664145 (OP)
120 on 16:9 goldsrc games
Low fov is only necessary to make out details when enemies are hidden faraway in cover with no silleuette and movement, which is resolved by guns with ads / scope or a little fov toggle button or just move faster to get close.
The center compaction and side stretching are good features to fit the retinal which has a narrow center cone of high density and wide range of low density in receptors. Given just enough pixels for silleuette for locking and much wider cone of tunnel vision, it's impossible to try to stop and take in extra details in a shootout while letting the target out of lock of a widened cone.
With widening the view also provides a greater range where eye movement and snap locking can occur.
Slight elevation like jumping on boxes while looking down a little gives so much info on space.
It only stops working when you can't make out the silleuette at the center even when focused.

>>714668878
Does this exist for anything other than Quake and old Minecraft?

for me it's lowered crosshair

>>714675205
ew

High FOV looks better on ultrawide screens.
I don't like super high FOV, everything is all stretched out. My monitor IRL is probably about 80 degrees of my natural FOV, so 80 FOV in game would feel most natural. Just get some measuring tape and a triangle calculator you can see what fov your monitor actually is IRL.

>>714664145 (OP)
Somehow exactly 90 horizontal fov feels best for me, something about the straight angle view makes understanding my own movement and shooting easier and smoother. Not sure if it's some matter of learning or if it's something to do with the simpler geometric shape of the view cone.

We need more games that let you change your viewmodel FOV

>>714675754
The fact that it's separate from the rest of your view always befuddles me

Hyper Demon thread?

>>714669792
such speed

what's real life fov

>>714679353
55 for predator eyes
120 for prey

>>714664145 (OP)
120 for Quake 3, 100 for everything else
For some reason 120 feels too wide in other games but just perfect in Q3

>>714679427
Prey upon this, faggot.

>>714664504
Console games (Halo 3 is the worst offender I can think of) in this era did low FOVs as a fake way to make a game more intense than it actually was. It was so fucking retarded how in Halo 3 you could have trouble finding someone right next to you because of the FOV

>>714679974
It was done for a number of reasons. Most people playing console games are doing so on a TV across the room, a wider FOV would make it much harder to actually see anyone. It's also done for performance reasons, Halo 3 did all it could to maintain a steady(albeit low) framerate on the 360. A more narrow FOV means they can get more aggressive with culling everything off-screen.

RE4 has one the lowest FoV i've ever seen.

>>714680101
You're wrong about performance. It can be adjusted with lower quality LODs and other distance related optimizations. That's how it is on PC, you can change it and see that your game doesn't draw as far when your FOV is higher.

>>714675205
It's gay af especially if you also play other shooters with crosshair tied to screen center.

>>714675205
what the FUCK

>>714664504
the console fov includes all the important information there is on the screen tho?
with higher fov you just get more walls

100-110 is about right

>>714681385
A more zoomed-out camera still displays way more on screen. Even if much of it is further away, you still have way more up close in any given scene.
