I assume a low number. 60's? I can't see any distortion in the edges which in my opinion is a good thing. Too many games send you out with 90°+ fov and ruin the scale of everything.

If I am playing a mech game I want it to feel big. However I would think a game of this type should properly support triplehead, all be it at an advantage/disadvantage to the user.

This is an important issue that a lot of developers seem to overlook.  While I tend to prefer a wider field of view, I can completely understand the desire to change that.  What's most important to me is the support for all manner of screen sizes and shapes, such as triplehead setups, which is similar to what I use.  Many games still don't support this and often have restrictive aspect ratios and fields of view.  

I suggest supporting a user-selectable field of view, but at very least, please provide a GUI and FOV that play nice with strange aspect ratios.

The best solution is to lock the vertical FOV to whatever the default is then if triplehead is present lower it further to eliminate distortion on the side monitors and keep the total view in a range of fair play.

I used to play certain PC games with FOV 125.

You can see around freakin walls and some stuff that is normally behind you. It looks warped as fuck though. So when I'm done playing I had difficulty walking around for like 20 seconds.

generally console games have a narrower field of view, and when they're ported over it turns into a pinched very...claustrophobic feel on the PC, where games have wider views.

If they do decide on consoles/ pc port I hope they allow for larger fields of view. (PC first imo steam will give you lots of love).

I think the cockpit might allow a narrower view to feel justified I just don't know if it will feel comfortable.

Your in an armored mech being attacked by other armored mechs in a huge city, Comfortable isn't the optimal word.

I max out the FOV at 90, I still feel it's a little low. I usually play between 109-120 on most other games.
