Any multiplayer games using an authoritative server w/ (game state) interpolation between the last two updates will often show a greater lag, yet this includes some of the fastest-paced shooter games. We also don't necessarily need the next frame to construct intermediates in games, because unlike in video, games can generate ground-truth object masks & screenspace velocity information (similar to motion blur effects) which can be extrapolated. | |

It may have taken significantly more work to not break the interpolation, or it could have "just worked". I imagine if it was the latter, we might see it show up in some of the major engines (if it's not patented). I'm not sure this feature alone is worth creating and maintaining your own engine. | |
