Sony Computer Entertainment is pushing the PlayStation Now cloud service quite hard, and the application is currently being beta tested, but how long do games take to load from when you launch it to the initial splash screen?
Today a reader that wished to remain anonymous sent us a list of the times it takes for each game currently available in the service to go through the PlayStation Now sharing procedure from launch to the splash screen. He also provided video as evidence, asking not to publish it to protect his identity (and account).
Here's the list:
- Dead or Alive 5: 51.10
- Disgaea 4: 47.12
- Papo & Yo: 43.10
- Killzone 3: 53.49
- Darksiders II: 50.53
- MX vs. ATV: Alive: 48.15
- Ninja Gaiden 3: 50.89
- Shatter: 39.77
- Shadow of the Colossus: 53.98
- Puppeteer: 44.16
Our tipster also gave us full details on his internet connection (via Speedtest) for reference, as it does seem to influence the loading times considerably.
