So I have always noticed that PC players have different fields of view when I watch a YouTube video, and I have kind of always liked this feature. However, I like many people cannot afford a gaming PC, so I have always wondered why this feature is less prevalent/non existent on console.
FoV typically causes a dip in your FPS. I mean, when you "see" more of an area, the GPU has to load more. I imagine that's part of the reason why. Most games are optimized at their 30FPS and use as much as they can. Giving the ability to toggle FoV would force all the dev's to do optimization testing at both FoV's which would take presumably a lot of time.
