the really narrow fov on the first game is there a option to change on pc?
It's been confirmed that there will be a FoV slider on the PC version

Played it today on a PS4 pro, looks great, plays well and found it quite challenging - Apparently the PC version visually looks fantastic.
How? The beta isn't open for another 9 hours and there's no events happening today.
