FOV slider on console??? come on guys.

so first of all I'd like to state that this post is in no way a negative one, more of a constructive criticism type thing. so, we all know what FOV is.. don't we? well if you don't, let me explain. (check out the video for a great explanation) Field of View is, at its most simple, the amount of degrees that you can see from your point of view. The human eye naturally has an almost 180-degree FOV, with about 114 degrees of both eyes overlapping, and 60/70 degrees of one eye accounting for peripheral vision. why is a high FOV important you ask? wellllll let me explain. players on PC, with the higher FOV, have better spatial awareness. They peripherally see what is normally hidden (off screen) to the console player. Therefore PC players get more information about what is happening in the space and they are make better tactical decisions and have faster reactions. Many people think PC players have better reactions because of a better-suited input device for camera control (a mouse) but it is also thanks to this interesting fact. most games on PC allow you to adjust the FOV, as well most fps games on console! a few to mention are Doom 2016, Mirror's edge catalyst, Borderlands 2 the handsome collection, Battlefield 1, and Titanfall 2. destiny 2 on PC of course has an FOV slider, how come D2 doesn't on console? we seriously need this, it improves the gameplay experience in every way, Imo we should be asking for this. so, I'd like to see a response from Cozmo on this, if anything.. let's get it trending boys and girls Edit #1 Wow! I really didn't expect this post to go anywhere, thanks for the feedback. I'd also like to say there's no reason that we cannot have an FOV slider, there any too many FPS games on [b]console[/b] that have them, not to mention most of these shooters get a stable 60fps.. but we don't live in a perfect world, so you know, 60 frames on console destiny isn't going to happen. Edit #2 Let's keep it going guys, also. For some people stating that higher FOV would make the game run slower, that is fairly true, but it would barely affect the performance of the game itself, very minor fps drops. You can test this with various games on PC and even Console. With increased FOV the engine will render more objects at a time, but it will not make much difference. You guys do realize FOV sliders are on console games, right? Even ones that just came out recently that probably no more or less graphically intensive than D2. Edit #3 Another more important reason for field of view sliders is personal health. There are people that get sick from improper field of view. Things like headaches or motion sickness. You can change your position to the display but of course that isn't always viable. From - Bigcorry Edit #4 The FOV in destiny is truly shocking, I suffer from motion sickness, and I literally have to sit eight feet away from my 27" monitor, for an acceptable vantage point, just so I do not start throwing up all over the place.
