The beta test of the upcoming cloud gaming service by Sony Computer Entertainment PlayStation Now is currently undergoing, and the first video has been leaked, showing Killzone 3 played through the cloud.

While the quality isn’t great, you can check it out below. The beta supports only PS3 at the moment, the service is schedule to launch this summer on PS4 and PS Vita as well.



Here’s a breakdown of the loading time, starting from the button press that launches the game from the PSN-like UI:

• Authorizing: 8 Seconds
• Testing Connection: 15 seconds
• Loading Game: 21 seconds
• Further Loading on Black Screen: 32 seconds
• Warning Splash Screen: 4 seconds
• Setting up Trophy Data: 12 seconds
• Sony Splash Screen and Loading Animation: 25 seconds

Total loading time: 117 seconds.

Of course the numbers above are prone to be partially influenced by connection speed and by the game being played (in this case it was Killzone 3), but it’s quite unlikely that they’ll get much shorter, at least for what the beta is concerned. It’s very possible that Sony will manage to speed the process up before release and down the line.
