An interview with Higby and TRay about PS2

ChipMHazard · 2012-07-04, 11:50 AM

A maximum FOV of 74? Seems a bit low.

FOV can be talked about in the vertical as well as horisontal.

Oh, heh I only ever really think about it in the horizontal range.
If they are referring to the horizontal range then it's going to make a lot of players miffed.

I like the idea of sand storms in game

ChipMHazard · 2012-07-04, 12:11 PM

On a side note... Was Higby playing as a TR? Finally got wise, huh?

It was explained somewhere that they meant vertical FOV.

Higby has confirmed on Reddit that the 74 degree FOV is VERTICAL and translates to 105 degrees HORIZONTAL, so quit ya whingin'.

what are "short cut" items ?

SniperSteve · 2012-07-04, 12:32 PM

I just started reading and saw: "-74 degree FOV"

and was like WHAT THE HECK? That is like playing with blinders on. This is an FPS. We need 100-120 FOV. 74 does _NOT_ cut it. /dissapoint.

Then I read the other posts and found that it was 74 FOV Vert, (which is like 100 Hor) and then I knew Higby and the other devs do indeed love us..

I can't watch the video right now (I'm at work), but I read they talked about sandstorms?

Did they say if sandstorms and weather hazard are going to be added before release, then?
