When you are very far away, the lines will become almost parallel as the angle between them grows very small. Now imagine what would happen to those lines as you walked nearer or farther from the screen. Imagine you were to draw lines from your eyes to each of the four corners of your screen. But what makes an FOV feel natural? This is a product of two factors: the size of the display, and how far the viewer is from it. Why is FOV a big deal? If you’ve ever heard someone talk about how certain games make them feel motion sick – or maybe you’ve experienced this yourself – this should give you some insight into why finding a natural FOV is so important. So that’s mostly what I want to talk about. What I haven’t seen as much is a clear understanding of the relationship between FOV and aspect ratio, especially as it relates to widescreen behavior. So, where to begin? Most of the time, when I see discussions about FOV on internet forums, I see a lot of comments about preferred FOV values, usually in the 90-100 range. I went into this with no idea of how far-reaching the ramifications might be, only knowing that this was one of the most frequent complaints we heard about Borderlands 1 and that my own experience with the PC version of BL1 had been soured by the narrow FOV.
