Hey Ross, the FOV bothered me in RE5 too. There's a fix for it though if you'd like to play it.

Unfortunately the Laser mod hasn't worked since it got updated to Steamworks, so you can only have the FOV part of it. But this mod is really invaluable. It only works after you beat the first level as Chris, but it works for every level for Sheva for what ever reason. Hope this helps, I'm in the minority that likes RE5 more than any other game in the series.
