This past week there was a pic of how much space one might actually need for psvr. In this pic you see what the area covered by the camera and a person sitting in a chair. In the manual it says 60 square feet is recommended and that it is recommended that you sit while playing PSVR. Below is the pic that spread an Internet first that reporters from different sites posted and of course without really reading spread the rumor. Below is that pic.
But what Sony is really saying is that since you will have the PSVR on your head, that the "recommended" space is more for safety as you will not be able to see your surroundings. Some games that require the Move controllers that allow you to pick up items, you might (probably) have to stand and move a little bit. Sony is being proactive here and thinking ahead. The last thing they want is for someone to get hurt, because they were playing and since you may not be aware of surroundings and immersed in the game or experience all while wearing the PSVR on their head and they certainly do not want a law suit.
Now if any of you have done the PSVR experience at your local Bestbuy or Gamestop you will notice that the space from the tv and the camera to where you are sitting is definitely not 60 square feet. It's more like this...
Since the camera tracks the lights on the PSVR helmet, you don't need that much space to enjoy. So come October 13th, 2016 when all of us finally get the opportunity to have this in our homes, please...please know where you are going to have this set up. It's your home and you should know with your eyes closed and in pitch darkness where things are, if not, please get a blindfold and practice. Also remember if your only time to play is at night when everyone is asleep, remember even though you are immersed in that game or experience and you will feel like you are there, others sleeping around you will not. Now of course come January when Resident Evil 7 comes out and we all scream, that will be a different story.
So Gamescom is happening from August 17th - August 21st and hopefully we will get more release dates so that we can pre order more games. So I will keep adding what I can. So until then, everyone enjoy your week and since Monday is August 1st, that means we will only have 73 days until awesomeness.
