Gaming content storage based on gaming performance
Systems and methods for managing storage of video game content based on video game performance. A level is identified from among a sequence of playable levels of an active video game. A video of the performance of the identified level of the active video game is recorded. A video game performance metric for the identified level is determined. A greatest value of the video game performance metric stored in a database is received. In response to determining that a current value of the video game performance metric for the identified level of the active video game does not exceed the greatest value of the video game performance metric stored in a database, the recording of the video of the performance of the level of the video game is deleted.

3 . The method of claim 1 , the method comprising storing the performance of the identified level of the video game on a computing device on which the video game is being played.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein storing the performance of the identified level of the video game in the database further comprises uploading the performance of the identified level of the video game from the computing device to the database.
5 . The method of claim 1 , the method comprising:
determining a difference between the greatest value of the video game performance metric and the current value of the video game performance metric; and
providing a notification when the difference is less than a predetermined value.
6 . The method of claim 1 , the method comprising transmitting the greatest value of the video game performance metric from a server to a computing device on which the video game is being played.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the video game performance metric comprises an amount of time taken to complete the level of the video game.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the video game performance metric comprises at least one of an amount of resources within the video game consumed or remaining at completion of performance of the level of the video game.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the video game performance metric comprises receiving a selection, entered via a user interface of a computing device, of the video game performance metric from among a plurality of video game performance metrics.
10 . A method comprising:
identifying, using control circuitry, a level from among levels of an active video game;
determining, using control circuitry, a current value of a video game performance metric for the identified level;
determining, using control circuitry, a greatest value of the video game performance metric stored in a database;
determining, using control circuitry, a difference between the greatest value of the video game performance metric and the current value of the video game performance metric for the identified level;
upon determining that the difference is not less than a predetermined value:
refraining from storing a performance of the identified level of the active video game in the database; and
upon determining that the difference is less than the predetermined value:
storing the performance of the identified level of the active video game in the database; and
providing, using control circuitry, a notification.
11 . A system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
identify a level from among levels of a video game;
determine a current value of a video game performance metric for the identified level;
determine a greatest value of the video game performance metric stored in a database;
determine whether the current value of the video game performance metric for the identified level of the video game exceeds the greatest value of the video game performance metric stored in the database;
in response to the current value of the video game performance metric not exceeding the greatest value of the video game performance metric:
refrain from storing a performance of the identified level of the video game in the database;
select for recommendation a tutorial of the identified level of the video game corresponding to the video game performance metric; and
transmit an option that is selectable to cause playback of the selected tutorial; and
in response to the current value of the video game performance metric exceeding the greatest value of the video game performance metric:
store the performance of the identified level of the video game in the database.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to, in response to determining that the current value of the video game performance metric for the identified level of the video game exceeds the greatest value of the video game performance metric stored in the database, update the greatest value for the video game performance metric stored in the database.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to store the performance of the identified level of the video game on a computing device on which the video game is being played.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein storing the performance of the identified level of the video game in the database further comprises uploading the performance of the identified level of the video game from the computing device to the database.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to:
determine a difference between the greatest value of the video game performance metric and the current value of the video game performance metric; and
provide a notification when the difference is less than a predetermined value.
16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to transmit the greatest value of the video game performance metric from a server to a computing device on which the video game is being played.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the video game performance metric comprises an amount of time taken to complete the level of the video game.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the video game performance metric comprises at least one of an amount of resources within the video game consumed or remaining at completion of performance of the level of the video game.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to receive a selection, entered via a user interface of a computing device, of the video game performance metric from among a plurality of video game performance metrics.
