PlayStation Now compatible TVs revealed, launch games leaked

It’s been a few months since Sony’s game streaming service, PlayStation Now, was announced at CES 2014 and suddenly sparked very strong opinions — on all sides of the spectrum — regarding game streaming. The service, which streams PS3 and PS2 back catalog games from the cloud to compatible devices, has been in closed beta since the end of January, and is projected to release sometime this summer. It seems that release is still on track, as Sony has revealed the TVs that will be compatible with PlayStation Now, and a list of
launch games has been leaked.
As the games industry has been evolving over the years, a major focal point has been delivery. Thanks to Valve’s Steam — as well as smaller, easily downloadable games on the PSN and Xbox Live — many gamers have grown to accept and prefer a digital copy of a game rather than a physical box they can display on a shelf. However, during that same industry evolution, games grew exponentially in size. PC games like Starcraft II and BioShock Infinite require 20GB of install space each, while dual-layer Blu-ray discs can hold up to 50GB of data. The PS4′s Killzone Shadow Fall clocks in at an enormous 38.5GB of data. When game data is that hefty, downloading and installing it — and having it clog up precious storage space — becomes a nuisance. Game streaming is the solution, and Sony’s PlayStation Now is leading the charge. It’s even getting rid of the need for a game console, only requiring a compatible display. Now, Sony has revealed the first TVs compatible with its upcoming game streaming service.
