To be fair, mobile and internet technology has improved dramatically since the dsys of onlive. That said it already exists in the form of a service called Parsec, which in itself has a bunch of odd requirements. However when it works, it does its job VERY well.

Additionally with 5G supposedly having around 300 mbps where ever you go, I suspect that cloud gaming as a novelty will take off like crazy. If Nintendo puts in 5G tech into the next handheld, then it can change online as we know it. It may even bring back Sony into the handheld game.

I think Ross put it best when he said that game streaming is the cutoff point. If it catches on, games will disappear as easily as they appear. Did you buy a streamable game and the company decide that they don't wanna stream it anymore? Congrats, you no longer own that game. it happened with multiplayer, it's happening to singleplayer. The only thing keeping it from becoming widespread, funnily enough, is the fact that the US is the biggest game market and that most US citizens have abysmal internet.

Streaming, like VR experiences, are the future of gaming. If it doesn't catch on now because of the limitations of current technology, then companies will try again in 10, 20, 30 years until eventually it does. It's just the next step in the evolution of where companies want to lead games to, and it's inevitable. Sooner or later, every entertaimnent service/device will just be Netflix.

It's the reason that people got duped by the Ouya. Techno-illiterates who have a weird understanding of how advance our technology really is. Game streaming will only be viable when they've perfected VR gaming since they have about the same problems: the amount of data that needs to be transferred and the ability to react to it in real time without delay being a major issue. It might be 10 years at the earliest and 20 years as a realistic estimate where we'll get such a service.
I'd rather they work behind-the-scenes and give updates on the progress instead of being early birds that jump too soon to catch up to a viable market. Nintendo did it and failed, Occulus/Vibe seemed promising but was too expensive and lacked games. The VR market isn't there yet. I'm sure there were other services but Onlive is the only one I can recall and that failed similarly to VR because it got in too early to reap the rewards. Maybe in 10 years time that will change but as of right now, unless they have some amazing way to combat the data and delay issue, this seems destine to fail as well.

They'll use predictive algorithms to let the game play itself, with the user "guiding" the AI. Sort of how like those dual-control automated cars operate. The driver can turn the wheel and drive the way they want to - until he starts going outside of parameters or predictive patterns… then it takes control and keeps them in their own lanes, or applies the brakes. In games, it'll work somewhat like bullet magnetism - except that if you're sweeping your gun towards an enemy, the game will assume you're going for a head shot or a body shot depending on your angle of sweep and will automatically fire for you. By the time you pull the trigger, the gun has already fired and the visual representation should be downloaded to maintain the illusion of synchronicity. The whole thing will feel mushy as hell, but it'll be glossed over - the same way cover-based shooters are just an elaborate compensation for shit analog sticks - allowing you to carefully line up the shot from behind cover long before the target appears. Then just play whack-a-mole when the head pops up.
Streaming will not work with traditional games. Say goodbye to them. Streaming will require games being altered and developed for this whole new paradigm of dual/predictive gameplay.
