    Field Of View slider for console please?

    The first 15 mins of the game are amazing, however its hard to really enjoy without customizable FOV, The trend of console shooters not having FOV sliders needs to stop , DOOM 2016 had one for its single player , Farcry 5 can too, I know FOV sliders can potentially mess up cutscenes but id rather have wonky cut scenes rather then walking through the whole game feeling seasick and discombobulated.

    The problem with increased FOV is not cutscenes, it's performance. Consoles need all their power running open world games at 30FPS as-is already, let alone with increased view. Can't compare to DOOM 2016 where everything is pre-baked either.

    Do agree that this sucks though, the default FOV is way too narrow.

    This.

    Developers are sometimes asked to work magic when 'fixing things'.
    Games are a compromise between a range of conflicting demands.
