PlayStation Now was announced earlier today as the evolution of Gaikai, the video game streaming company Sony purchased nearly two years ago. The service will come to the PS3 and PS4 in late Summer, followed by the PlayStation Vita and will allow gamers to either rent games or subscribe to some form of package, a la Netflix style. This new service from Sony will also open the door for the PS4 to play all those PS3 exclusive games like The Last of Us and God of War: Ascension. With any video streaming service, latency can be an issue so  the results have to be disastrous for games right?

To our delight, the result couldn’t be further from the truth. After the jump, we gave PlayStation Now a spin on the PS Vita and played God of War: Ascension, a demanding game to say the least and were amazed with the outcome.

Are you surprised by the quality of streaming from PlayStation Now?
