Intended for people relatively farther back from their TV while playing a console instead of up at a desk in front of their monitors, just like the vast majority of console centric games which came before it. And as us PC gamers have been complaining about being nauseated by in ports and cross-platform FPS games for years.

Intended to nauseate as well? Would definitely appreciate a higher vertical fov. It's literally making people sick.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with feeling sick while playing this on PC. This needs a FOV fix fast.

It started the game on the PC and agree that the FOV is terrible, its liking looking through a pinhole.

I don't understand the concept really? So you see a little less up or down? Don't understand the big deal, nor have I noticed it on my monitor at all. Maybe I'm just a retard though :p

I thought the Bioshock folks were whiners about this issue, but I was feeling woozy and claustrophobic in FC2. I was going to go 4:3, but this may help. I test it when I get home.

well its been explained to death so theres not much else anyone can really add. a little less on the top and bottom simply makes for a restricted view that can be very irritating and especially nauseating during the driving sequences. if it doesnt bother you then I guess you arent very sensitive to that type of thing. I have a crt but understand the problem to be very similar to the widescreen issues with Bioshiock before the patch.

Yes this is my first widescreen LCD I bought and this happens to be making be really sick and giving me headaches when I try to play.
WoW and WAR play fine on it. but this game within 2-5 mins I'm really feeling ill.
if you check out the official forums you'll see alot of peeps are feeling the motion sickness from this POV.

I hope they fix it I bought it yesterday with high hopes.. and no I cant play it unless I want to feel like puking.

What if they increased the FoV on both the 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios? You'd get what you want, right?

Lol.

i play on a widescreen monitor but it seems fine to me. a little more width would be nice, but i don't think its hard to see.

With the hack, the motion sickness I was having is gone, but the wide angle slight fisheye aspect is a little weird.
