Wider FOV/be able to zoom back further from your dino

88 votes

This game makes me motion sick after only a short time playing, and none of the current settings seems to be able to alter that. I don’t generally get sick playing other games - including other Dino survival games, and my suspicion is that it’s because the other games allow me to scroll back further from my Dino and get a wider FOV (which, from what I have gathered is one possible cause for motion sickness in games) . It doesn’t have to be a crazy distance like some BoB dinos can, but even Legacy TI allowed me to be further back, and I didn’t get sick playing it. Please do SOMETHING so I can actually PLAY! It’s so disheartening to not be able to fix this on my own through some setting or other.

It also would help with combat as there are alot of times where I can't see my tail and it's hard to see what's behind me while running without actively looking behind me and running into stuff because I'm not looking forward.

Adding my support behind this, FOV is a basic quality of life feature that makes or breaks games.

I severely disagree with any notion that restricting FOV is a balancing feature - If that's the case then you have to limit everyone's FPS/refreshrate to an obtainable figure like 30 FPS and restrict everyone's graphics settings to be the same - Further you'll have issues with players "having an advantage" on higher resolution displays or those with richer detail in dark/bright scenarios....... These things do make a negligible difference but the gameplay cons certainly don't outweigh the pros.

Restricting FOV just isn't how you balance a game and it shouldn't be considered in that way.

Being able to zoom out further would really help dinos whose primary attack is their tail. At full zoom your tail tip is usually out of your field of view.

yes pls increase this, on my ano I have to rely on sound when hunkering for tail attacks, and that wouldnt even be an option if i had a shitty headset and i gotta tell my group to shutup which restricts group call outs, otherwise Im useless in the fight unless im solo

As a juvenile Laten all I saw for most of the game was bushes right up on my face (open areas were scary). It made my gameplay so hard until I grew a bit (now I can see the top of the bushes, at least, lol)

Begging them to please let us zoom out the camera more, it's truly miserable on some dinos.

This is the first and only game I've ever gotten motion sick playing. Small dinos are totally impossible for me, and growing is so difficult for small to medium sized dinos. Some FOV adjustability would be incredibly beneficial for people who struggle with motion sickness on this game - it's a basic feature and I was really surprised that it wasn't already implemented in the settings.
