This would be good for a ailment of sorts in games. eg. ut oh you got hit with the crazy gun 270 vision for you. unless you wanted a really wierd game I'm not sure how else it would come in handy.

Yeah it's really disorienting, would come in handy with a sick/disabled effect.

I used to play Unreal Tourney with a high fov, it was sort of a cheat, as you could see more, but you had to be more accurate with your shots, because it was like zooming out. It makes it an interesting game nonetheless.

Would work well if you had 3 monitors though....

Resource?

I'm making a wacky game which requires many odd effects. This would come in handy!

Very awesome effect.

I have a habit of setting the FOV to around 120 degrees in almost all FPS games I play. Changing the FOV is a very simple change to your default.binds.cs script. If anybody has trouble with this I'd be happy to put up a resource about it.

The FOV can be used as a speed effect too...

The effect is pretty simple and complete brute-force.

Open your playgui.cs and paste these controls inside of the playGui control:

new GameTSCtrl() {
      Profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
      HorizSizing = "relative";
      VertSizing = "relative";
      position = "0 0";
      Extent = "80 480";
      MinExtent = "8 2";
      Visible = "1";
      applyFilterToChildren = "1";
      cameraZRot = "-135";
      forceFOV = "33.75";
         renderScreenFX = "0";
         passMouseEvent = "0";
   };
   new GameTSCtrl() {
      Profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
      HorizSizing = "relative";
      VertSizing = "relative";
      position = "80 0";
      Extent = "80 480";
      MinExtent = "8 2";
      Visible = "1";
      applyFilterToChildren = "1";
      cameraZRot = "-101.25";
      forceFOV = "33.75";
         renderScreenFX = "0";
         passMouseEvent = "0";
   };

I couldn't even get through 20 seconds of the first video without feeling like I was gonna get sick.

As soon as you started jumping and looking down it was over.

Can't remember which game or mod, but it was humans vs. aliens, and the alien perspective used an FOV similiar to that. I also know a couple of people playing 3D shooters with an FOV of like 120. I have to admit I prefer 90 ;)
