Quoted from
irrationalgames.com/insider/pc-specifications-for-bioshock-infinite-announced/
If I have any regrets, it’s that there are always more features that we wanted to add than we had time to implement. For example, some of the most requested PC features these days are in-game V-Sync and FOV adjustment controls. Unfortunately, given our tight sc—wait, never mind. We added those too!
Happily, FOV adjustment is supported this time. |

low FOV haters? 
Can I buy this logic in a jar? Low FOV motion sickness is a medical issue, not a damned choice! If you don't suffer from it you are not having the setup required to suffer from it (large screen, less than arm length distance).
If you don't agree with scientific facts (and that is the case for the FOV and what is optimal at what distance : screensize : aspect) then nobody can help you. But we are not even hating low fov, we are hating on companies deadlocking it with bullshit excuses.... |

65 just doesn't work for PC when you're sitting closer to the screen.

that video explains it all in detail
Not everyone is effected by that and personally every time I raise an FOV above default I see fisheye.
I'm fine with low FOV haters expressing their opinion, but when they act like every PC gamer agrees with them I roll my eyes a bit. |

Q: What are your plans for widescreen in BioShock Infinite?
Chris Kline: We’ve done a lot of work for BioShock Infinite to support a wide range of display setups and resolutions, so I’m confident you’ll have a great full-screen play experience when it is released.
more 65 degree FOV I'm guessing, someone will probably release a tool to set it higher but why can't they just add this to games ported to the PC. Because 65 degrees is intentional? I don't know why everyone assumes it's a technical limitation when it's sometimes done for artistic reasons.
FOV is never artistic, it is a biological necessity to have it adaptable as we have no doubt mentioned nearly 560000 times by now.
Even on console people sit closer or further away from a screen of size X, and size and distance decide what fov is REQUIRED. A locked FOV is like you would put a magnifying glass in front of you head and leave it there forever.. that's not how human eyes work (or can work) |

As already stated, FOV is entirely dependent upon the distance you are from the screen relative to its size. Those sensitive to motion sickness are especially affected by an incorrect FOV. For consoles a low FOV is an easy way to improve performance by limiting the amount displayed on screen. But it's absolutely NOT an artistic decision.
While an incorrect FOV doesn't really bother me it annoys me when developers can't be bothered adding a slider, as it's really simple to implement. It's nice to see a lot of developers have recognised that recently, with games like Far Cry 3 and Borderlands 2 providing it as an option. |

| Glad to see them putting effort into the PC port. The high-res textures look great in the latest batch of screenshots. |

Actually in most cases using a smaller FOV increases performance as it reduces the amount needing to be rendered, so doing so for consoles could very well be a "technical limitation." Therefore, its institution in a port is a form of "consolization" rather than an "artistic reason."
However, the choice of FOV is both scientific and subjective, with as low as 65 working for some games while others benefit from up to 90-100. When it comes to shooters, though, it's really difficult to find any artistic or scientific argument for 65 degrees, beyond performance and viewing distance. |

Looks like the number of devs using GFWL continues to dwindle.
The original BioShock didn't use it. BioShock 2 (which Irrational had nothing to do with) did and mostly because it was a quick Xbox port that used it for the multiplayer. I think this won't have any multiplayer. |

| FOV is not an artistic decision, unless you're doing mech or something. Otherwise its a biological necessity. FOV is tied to distance from the screen and how your brain expects images to appear. NOT artistic |
