The good news is The Last of Us will be on PSnow. The bad news is that we'll probably never see a 1080p, 60fps PS4 port of the game on PS4, something that I admit I'll pay good money to see. :(

Games Industry Analyst Thinks 'PlayStation Now is a Joke'
'No publisher' will license content less than two years old, says Michael Pachter.
by Katie Williams FEBRUARY 5, 2014

Gaming industry analyst Michael Pachter has spoken out against Sony's PlayStation Now, saying that it has "no prayer" of working.

Speaking in the March 2014 issue of Game Informer, Pachter says, "PlayStation Now is a joke. There is no publisher that is going to license content that's less than two-years old because they would be concerned that they can't sell as many copies if they make it available for subscription or rental."

"This has no prayer of working. None."

Sony's head of hardware marketing, John Koller, has hit back at the criticisms, claiming that publishers are being "exceedingly bullish" about PlayStation Now's prospects. In the above video, however, we addressed the PlayStation 4's rumored future ability to emulate retro PlayStation games, and what impact it might have on PlayStation Now's success.

Playstation Now is a content-streaming service that aims to bring games to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, televisions, and mobiles devices. Beta invites for the service started to go out to select users last week.

The full service is due to launch this summer in the US, with a UK release following next year.
