This. The current implementation is utter crap as the games run from a Playstation somewhere in the world, and if none is ready then you can't play at all. Add to this the gray and brown of last gen with bad compression on a non-consistent connection, making them blocky as a PS1 game and huge lags if the console is far away. If you're idle, the service will disconnect you to make room on the server, so save before going to the bathroom. Random disconnections are rampant, just as lost cloudsaves are (and no, you can't save them locally either). Oh, and if you don't have a PS4 controller, you will be fucked in any game that needs motion controls at any point of the game. Finally, while the yearly subscription is okay in price (99$), the monthly is 14.99$, so 12 months will add up to almost double that price. |

Which is exactly what Xcloud does.

Those are problems with all streaming services. Obviously PS3 games aren't going to look good but streaming at 720p and 30 fps requires less data. PS Now can also stream PS4 games.
Streaming games at 1080p or 4k requires a faster internet connection with more data. People complain about the quality of PS3 games on PS Now but then they complain about the data requirements. Sometimes I can't tell if people are really this dumb or they're just hating.
