A question about FPS

Post by THEHOOLIGANJEDI »

Could there be a way to replicate peripheral vision for FPS??
Just Curious.

with out either shrinking the frontal view or adding additional monitors on the periphery I don't see how you could. A tv or monitor screen is not a window, otherwise you could get up close to the screen and look below the edge to see things just out of normal view..... you know like you did as a kid when girls took off their clothes and you tried to see if you could see something....... or was it just me?

You can widen your field of view in some FPSs (I'm pretty sure you can with Quake and its sequels, anyway.) It causes a fish-eye-lens type effect, which can be disconcerting. Some people swear by it, though.

It's too bad so few FPS actually support multiscreens. :(
