Man, MK64 already had a pretty high FOV as it was, and now with ultra wide support lol
How else am I supposed to see the green shells behind me?
360° monitor setup including rear view mirrors.
I love the idea of having a 360° monitor and rear view mirrors instead of just smaller rear view screens, or even digital on-screen rear view mirrors. 😄
New proposal:
360°~~C~~ monitor setup
3 small (something like 10") monitors as side/rearview mirrors
actual side-/rearview mirrors
Better wear some oven mitts. 🔥
Lol...Neat typo xD
As someone who uses a 65" LG OLED as my primary monitor and sits 5ft away, the FoV can never be high enough in nearly every game.
You'd think it would be the opposite? High FOV when you are far away doesn't match the expected projection of the things you see on screen. 5 ft is pretty normal I would say, I sit that far from my LG 65" OLED, too. I turn down my FOV in Rocket League so it doesn't mess with my perception, even though you'd think a high FOV in that game would benefit you as you can avoid demolitions easier. (I do keep the FOV at max in Rocket League when in front of my PC though, because I'm so close to my monitor, probably 2 ft or so.)
5ft is close for a 65" screen. Most people sit about 8-10ft away from a screen that size. And to be clear, I'm referring to distance from my eyeballs. The foot of the recliner is about 2ft away.
It's not that close. You were right about one thing, the front end of my couch is probably 5–6 ft away from the TV. But I crouched down at exactly 5 ft and the TV still has a smaller apparent size than my 27" LG OLED PC monitor when I sit by the computer for gaming. I would turn down the FOV if I were you, to match the expected projection, but that's just me. You can of course do what you feel is comfortable. But the distance argument doesn't hold up is all I'm saying. 😁👍
