Abstract

A system and method for creating and/or administering operation of replayable activities for interactive content titles. The replayable activities may be competitive in nature and may be used to determine a ranking. A first set of data associated with an interactive content title may be received. The first set of data associated with the interactive content title may be received from an interactive content source server. The interactive content title may be is at least partially hosted at the interactive content source server. The first set of data may be associated with a replayable activity for the interactive content title. A score may be determined based on the first set of data for an associated user account. The associated user account may be placed in the ranking based on scores of other user accounts and respective sets of data associated with the replayable activity for the interactive content title.

Claims (34)

1 . A method of generating playback content of gameplay activities, the method comprising:

recording media content depicting one or more in-game activities associated with gameplay of one or more interactive content titles, wherein the recorded media content is associated with gameplay data;

receiving input from a first user account via a graphical user interface requesting a replayable activity corresponding to one of the in-game activities of an identified one of the interactive content titles;

launching the identified interactive content title at a user device associated with the first user account based on the recorded media content and the associated gameplay data for the in-game activity that corresponds to the requested replayable activity; and

generating a combined gameplay view of the replayable activity at the user device, wherein the combined gameplay view includes a first gameplay view associated with gameplay of the in-game activity by the first user account combined with a second gameplay view associated with the replayable activity synchronously in real time.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein launching the identified interactive content title at the user device for the replayable activity is further based on a selected invite.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising triggering the invite when the first user account is identified as reaching a checkpoint of the identified interactive content title.

4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising triggering the invite when a second user account associated with the second gameplay view creates a challenge.

5 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining a ranking for the first user account based on the in-game activity of the replayable activity, and triggering the invite based on a change in the ranking.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating an overlay, wherein the combined gameplay view includes the overlay.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the overlay displays completion information regarding the replayable activity in accordance with the gameplay data.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the overlay includes a ghost view of a second user account associated with the second gameplay view.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined view includes a playback display of controller inputs associated with the first user account and received during the replayable activity.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a score based on the gameplay data of the replayable activity associated with the first user account, wherein the score is displayed as an overlay in the combined gameplay view.

11 . A system for generating playback content of gameplay activities, the system comprising:

memory that stores recorded media content depicting one or more in-game activities associated with gameplay of one or more interactive content titles, wherein the recorded media content is associated with gameplay data;

a communication interface that communicates over a communication network, wherein the communication interface receives input provided by a first user account via a graphical user interface requesting a replayable activity corresponding to one of the in-game activities of an identified one of the interactive content titles; and

a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor:

launches the identified interactive content title at a user device associated with the first user account based on the recorded media content and the associated gameplay data for the in-game activity that corresponds to the requested replayable activity; and

generates a combined gameplay view of the replayable activity at the user device, wherein the combined gameplay view includes a first gameplay view associated with gameplay of the in-game activity by the first user account combined with a second gameplay view associated with the replayable activity synchronously in real time.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor launches the identified interactive content title at the user device for the replayable activity further based on a selected invite.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to trigger the invite when the first user account is identified as reaching a checkpoint of the identified interactive content title.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to trigger the invite when a second user account associated with the second gameplay view creates a challenge.

15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to determine a ranking for the first user account based on the in-game activity of the replayable activity, and to trigger the invite based on a change in the ranking.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to generate an overlay, wherein the combined gameplay view includes the overlay.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the overlay displays completion information regarding the replayable activity in accordance with the gameplay data.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the overlay includes a ghost view of a second user account associated with the second gameplay view.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the combined view includes a playback display of controller inputs associated with the first user account and received during the replayable activity.

20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to a score based on the gameplay data of the replayable activity associated with the first user account, wherein the score is displayed as an overlay in the combined gameplay view.

21 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for generating playback content of gameplay activities, the method comprising:

recording media content depicting one or more in-game activities associated with gameplay of one or more interactive content titles, wherein the recorded media content is associated with gameplay data;

receiving input from a first user account via a graphical user interface requesting a replayable activity corresponding to one of the in-game activities of an identified one of the interactive content titles;

launching the identified interactive content title at a user device associated with the first user account based on the recorded media content and the associated gameplay data for the in-game activity that corresponds to the requested replayable activity; and

generating a combined gameplay view of the replayable activity at the user device, wherein the combined gameplay view includes a first gameplay view associated with gameplay of the in-game activity by the first user account combined with a second gameplay view associated with the replayable activity synchronously in real time.
