Even at 2x3 meters I don't have that kind of space.

Not in my SF apartment.

Classic Polygon.

Any way you could provide this crucial data in pie chart form?
...or is that what this is, and you've just baked the funkiest pie of all time?

:facepalm

 

[joecanada]

No, using "cinematic mode" in other headsets is surprisingly pleasant. I watched the entirety of Daredevil's second season in a virtual living room. I figured the resolution would be crap but it comes out looking great honestly.

lol I never even thought of this use for the headset holy shit.

"watch a movie in p diddys house, with p diddy" only 11.99.

you can't stretch your arms out when watching tv? damn I feel for you.

Oh shit, I'm dying.

Thank you.

What is going on in here?

I hear ya. I've got a studio in downtown SF myself. Though having spent a little time with PSVR at PSX and seeing the kind of experiences they are going to be pushing for it during its launch window, it's primarily a sit-down affair that you don't need very much space at all for. I imagine I'll be just fine with the limited space I have.

everyone's cancelling psvr pre-orders due to having 6 meter arms.

aren't your arms 6m? poor little guy

 

[-duskdoll-]

That title change though.

This thread has taken an unexpected turn.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Some of these reactions.

Stretch your arms out. That's the width (average human arm span is just under 2 meters). If you're using Move, I sure hope you can move your arms around without hitting something.

Now stretch one arm out in front of you. That's the minimum distance.

Basically swing your arms around. If you don't hit anything, you're good.

brb buying a mansion

Yeah, this.

Amazing wall of shame in this thread lol

 

[Mr Git]

Fuck me. Wonderful. I came back into this thread for the pie charts.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

LMAO .

No, but something else is 6

Spoiler

centi

meters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[BY2K]

Fix the damn typo.

 

[blame space]

i definitely don't have that much space.

 

[platocplx]

LMAO. Close the thread.

 

[magawolaz]

lmao, what's going on in this thread

 

[wesleyshark]

Hahahah that thread title change is legendary

 

[platocplx]

lmao, what's going on in this thread

its now a joke post thread because people fail reasonable comprehension skills, and literally believe everything they read on the internet.

Even when people like me have demoed the headsets and tell them you dont need much space just as what sony was trying to say in their manual lmao.

 

[Kyolux]

Almost spit my coffee on my monitor.

edit: Liked it slightly better with the typo. Felt more polygon authentic.

 

[fastest finger]

Crying.

One image just killed 5 pages of fuckwittery.

 

[Audioboxer]

lmao, what's going on in this thread

A wild Friday night on GAF it seems. Sit back and enjoy.

GIFs should be coming soon. We have the charts already.

 

[jroc74]

The 3 charts posted plus thread title change by mod..

Dying over here.

 

[qa_engineer]

Can someone provide a recap? The graphs are making me huehuehue.

 

[Baalzebup]

Well, this thread is something alright. Taking the article as it is as the One Truth™ and running to hit that "cancel pre-order" button without taking two minutes to verify the facts. It is a fucking Polygon article! They have such a crazy hit/miss ratio that anything published in that site should be triple-checked before given any relevance or weight.

Ah well, at least we got some good Polygon charts™ for the troubles.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

What did I miss? How did we go from 5 square meters to 60 square feet? Did polygon fuck up when converting metric to valyrian units?

 

[Cess007]

loool

The second one got me good. As note, Polygon won't really update their article title? really?

I'd be interested to see their hit ratio. I wasn't aware they had one.

 

[Plinko]

LOL at the thread title and the graphs. Polygon threads are amazing all thanks to that ridiculous Mario Kart pie chart.

 

[Alexlf]

What did I miss? How did we go from 5 square meters to 60 square feet? Was Polygon really that inept when convertid metric to valyrian units?

6 meters squared is ~60 feet squared. The 3x2 meters is the maximum playspace size available. The only room you need to play is arm length in each direction, which is < 2x2 meters even at the absolute most.

That makes more sense.

 

[qa_engineer]

And the article title still hasn't changed.

 

[Ducktail]

I'm at work, laughing my ass off. Thanks!

You don't need that much, that's just recommended maximum cleared playing space that they want to promote for safety reasons. Majority of the games will be sitting or standing experience. There will not be walking.

Sony is playing it safe, they don't want to get sued later on for accidents.

 

[Mr Git]

And the article title still hasn't changed.

I gave them a click to see if they'd actually amended anything. It was great looking through the comments and seeing Crecente double down on his lack of basic cognition.

[SinCityAssassin]

We got a graph on how much room space a typical PSVR gamer needs and what Polygon thinks they need?

 

[Chris Metal]

 

[Stevey]

what.
2x3 metres is next to nothing.
Do people live in cupboards or something?

 

[fastest finger]

LMFAO. What a thread title change.

 

[Valentus]

Good ol'polygon?

Now with a new hat!
