PlayStation 4 lead architect Mark Cerny addressed the console's Gaikai-powered cloud gaming capabilities in a recent interview (http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/11/12/ps4-interview-mark-cerny-on-1080p-gaming-remote-play) with IGN, explaining that certain genres may be more conducive to streamed gameplay than others due to latency.
"It is just a part of that cloud gaming technology that there will be a bit of latency there," Cerny said. "Ultimately I think it's going to be that some games will work really well in that kind of context and some games will work less well. If you're playing a twitch fighter or racing game, you might not want to be doing that. That's cloud gaming. But a lot of games will work very well that way."
Remote Play performance between the PlayStation 4 and a linked PlayStation Vita system should not be an issue, however. "If we're talking about Remote Play on Vita, that's done with a direct Wi-Fi link, and the latency is very low," Cerny assured. "It's all in the house. Once you get out of the house, there will be some latency."
Sony previously announced (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/10/playstation-cloud-service-launches-in-2014-will-stream-ps3-game/) that players will be able to stream cloud-stored PlayStation 3 games on PS3, PS4, and PS Vita systems starting in 2014.
