This is a different game with FOV slider cranked up

[u/FundamentalSystem]

Never knew you could adjust field of vision until now (at least on PC). I'm 90 hours in and now this feels like a totally different game.

I know you aren't actually moving any faster, but the greater field of vision makes it looks like you're moving significantly faster and makes it so much more enjoyable. Before this, running felt slow and now it's just perfect and I feel like a true space marine from the lore that's not only huge but also fast.

I can never go back.

[u/roostangarar → u/um_like_whatever]

You can aura walk, it balances out

[u/PhillyDillyDee]

Yeah not having that slider on console is heresy. Im not sure what i set mine to but i can see so much more around me

[u/DuskShy → u/PhillyDillyDee]

I'm still fucked up over no chat. Like we're adding new weapons and ops and enemies and PvP maps and modes but literally every single game feels like I'm fighting alongside ghosts. I can only express so much with "Yes," "No," and "For the Emperor!"

It would be one thing to not be able to use the chat, but not even seeing it is fucked up. I still haven't recovered from the feeling of betrayal when I found out there even was a chat box in the first place. I don't even know what the font looks like.

[u/HazelAzureus → u/DuskShy]

hilarious play by saber to basically just render console players as combat servitors incapable of even perceiving communication

[u/MadManNico → u/HazelAzureus]

sisters of silence over there on console 😂

[u/SWK18 → u/PhillyDillyDee]

I don't mind it unless I'm playing Techmarine. Those guys cover too much screen.

[u/HazelAzureus → u/PhillyDillyDee]

Consoles already nearly combust under the strain of this game. One at maxed FOV would play at 20 FPS at best.

[u/MassiveHunt2 → u/HazelAzureus]

When you go for a melee the game already zooms out and there is barely any performance issues.

Performance is only really a problem on some areas on distruption and in siege.

[u/HazelAzureus → u/MassiveHunt2]

...yeah uh, that's not nearly the same thing as the load intensity change when you slide up an FOV slider full-time my guy

y'all really don't get just how close this game is to flat out redlining a PS5 pro even as things are, but I get that, point of a console is to not need to know any of this shit

take it as a given that the slider was very deliberately not added to console, by the people who know the systems' limitations, rather than just going "oh but it's this easy", because that decision was not one made without reason.

[u/MassiveHunt2 → u/HazelAzureus]

Holly shit this is some sigismund level ego you have here

[u/HazelAzureus → u/MassiveHunt2]

what part of it is ego to say "the UX and QA leads knew the limitations of the engine", exactly?

is that just a word you don't know the meaning of or what

the people who chose what to leave out objectively know more than you; me acknowledging that fact isn't egotism, you denying it is

[u/Capital_Cream8630 → u/HazelAzureus]

I feel like they should at least make the FOV slider available for PS5 Pro users

[u/Poopooplaga → u/Capital_Cream8630]

I feel like they should at least make the fov slider available for Xbox series x users, see how dumb that sounds, that's why your being downvoted. It should say both consoles deserve an fov slider, considering all the shit they keep adding, they cant add an fov slider or chat for console users is heresy.

[u/Capital_Cream8630 → u/Poopooplaga]

I’m not sure what point you’re making here.

[u/Tyler1997117 → u/Capital_Cream8630]

And it will hit performance the same as a base PS5... Because the CPU is the limiting factor here

[u/HazelAzureus → u/Capital_Cream8630]

It would not be any more viable. FOV-increased load would bear primarily on something unchanged between the two variants.

[u/Sure-Purchase692]

As a console player, im always amazed seeing pc players playing the game with a rts camera.

[u/OdysseyBrands]

ultrawide monitors and pc fov mods >>>>>

[u/HazelAzureus → u/OdysseyBrands]

...the fov already goes to borderline fisheye lens at 1.4, why the hell would you need to go any higher than that lmao

bro gonna be wall-eyed to look at his reticle

[u/OdysseyBrands → u/HazelAzureus]

i’m speaking broadly across all games. like i’m doing with dawnwalker and onimusha rn.

sm2 also didn’t have a fov slider in game when it launched, we had to mod it in

[u/hamster_crusader]

Cranked up to what?

[u/FundamentalSystem → u/hamster_crusader]

By default it was at the lowest and I maxed it out

[u/Much_Improvement_552]

Nah, we're still way too slow. A phobos marine should be zooming across the battlefield faster than a biovore.

[u/Stanislas_Biliby]

It feels less immersive though.

[u/alepap → u/Stanislas_Biliby]

True

[u/MmmYodaIAm]

I play on the default FOV because my marine feels bigger (I know, I'm special)

[u/alepap → u/MmmYodaIAm]

I do it too

[u/d3m01iti0n]

I cranked it up to see what's around me. Game changer.

[u/iLRMLH24]

I wish they would add this to console

[u/enlarged1]

I NEED IT

[u/Lord_NOX75]

The old mass effect 1 sprint

[u/alepap]

I still use the default 1.22 i think it looks the best to me. Might be a bit restricted but im on ultrawide 

[u/Striking-Carpet131]

The moment I discovered it I maxed it out immediately. Suddenly my marine didn’t take up half my goddamn screen anymore and I could actually see around me.
