Technical Field

The present disclosure relates generally to video game challenges and, more particularly, to a method and system for implementing synchronous and asynchronous front competition in a single-player game for viewing by a spectator.

Background

Single-player video games and video games with single-player mode represent a large segment of the video game market. A single player game is interesting to play, but may be less competitive than its multiple player counterparts (counterparts). In addition, single-player games have fewer social components, which may be a desirable feature for many video game players and spectators. Furthermore, as electronic athletics or electronic athletics are becoming an increasingly popular form of gaming, competition, and entertainment, the current instance of a single-player game is less suitable for implementation in electronic athletics as its multi-player copy.

currently, for example, single-player games and video games with a single-player mode (hereinafter collectively referred to as single-player games) enable individual players to make progress in the game, including completing tasks, gaining experience, defeating enemies, upgrading, setting a record of many disabilities, and setting a record of time-based challenges. However, it is difficult to compare the progress of one person with the progress of another person according to the competitive spirit. For example, a player of a single-player game may share points earned or a personal record for completing a task with their friend, and this friend may then attempt to defeat the player's points or personal record. However, in this discontinuous and diminished competitive format, much of the intensity and enjoyment disappears. For example, the player will not know how the friend played the single-player game except for the outcome. Moreover, this discontinuous form of competition does not provide much assistance to audience participation because it merely involves comparing the player's results (e.g., points or personal records) with the results of friends. Accordingly, a technology platform is desired that enables competition among players of a single-player game that may be considered by interested spectators as positive competition.

Disclosure of Invention

embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for creating, playing, and implementing a third-party view of a positive challenge game. Consider a face-challenge game based on a single-player video game or a segment of a video game having a single-player mode.

In one embodiment, a method for presenting a challenge game to a spectator is provided. The method comprises the following operations: a request to view a challenge game between a first player and a second player of the game is received, and a first video associated with a predefined segment of the game from the first player and a second video associated with a predefined segment of the game from the second player are obtained. The method further comprises the following operations: a challenge game is executed to play the first video and the second video side-by-side in the spectator interface. According to this embodiment, the executing the challenge game further comprises the operations of: first telemetry data associated with a predefined segment of a game played by a first player and second telemetry data associated with a predefined segment of a game played by a second player are accessed. The executing the challenge game further comprises the operations of: the method further includes processing the first telemetry data and the second telemetry data for generating a modified game play metric, and replacing a game state generated when playing a predefined segment of the game with the modified game play metric to generate a first video and a second video, wherein the modified game play metric is used to identify a progress of the challenging game. Further, the method comprises the operations of: presenting a graphical element for displaying the progress of the challenge game based on the modified game play metric, and providing, for the request, a spectator interface including the first video, the second video, and the graphical element for displaying the progress of the challenge game.

In another embodiment, a method for processing a challenge game is provided. The method comprises the following operations: data defining a challenge game is received, the challenge game corresponding to a game title, the data defining the challenge game identifying a segment of the game title selected for the challenge game and challenge game rules that establish optional modifications to native game rules of the game title. The method also provides the following operations: providing, by an online gaming system, access to a challenge game accessible by one or more users having access to the online gaming system for game play, wherein gameplay of the challenge game occurs based on native game rules. In addition, the method comprises the following operations: storing gameplay of the challenge game from the first user and storing gameplay of the challenge game from the second user. In addition, the method comprises the following operations: an audience view of a challenge game between a first user and a second user is presented presenting an interface of side-by-side videos with gameplay of the challenge game conducted by the first user and the second user. According to this embodiment, the interface includes a modified game play metric based on the challenge game rule, the modified game play metric displayed in the interface in place of a native game play metric defined by a native game rule of the game title.

In one embodiment, the side-by-side video of gameplay of the challenge game is synchronized to begin and end simultaneously, and the playing of the side-by-side video through the interface appears as if the first user and the second user were playing the challenge game in a live frontal session. In another embodiment, gameplay of the challenge game by the first user is asynchronous to gameplay of the challenge game by the second user. In another embodiment, the challenge game is one of a plurality of challenge games provided for access by the online gaming system, and a particular game of the plurality of challenge games is viewable by users having social ties or invitations to play the particular game of the plurality of challenge games. In another embodiment, the challenge game is created by a user of the online gaming system or a curation entity (such as a game issuer, game developer, game studio, or third party entity that generates the challenge game that can be accessed by the user of the online gaming system). In another embodiment, an interface is provided for the spectator view that enables the spectators to interactively vote or wager when playing side-by-side video of game play as the challenge game progresses. In one embodiment, the modified gameplay metric is generated as side-by-side video of gameplay is played as the challenge game progresses, the modified gameplay metric configured to reward or penalize the first user or the second user when a violation of the challenge game rule is detected.

In another embodiment, a method for executing a challenge game played by two players is provided. The method comprises the following operations: a challenge game is executed, the challenge game defined by a game piece of the single player game and a set of rules. In another operation, the method provides for processing game data associated with game play segments of the first player and the second player, the game data including game play metrics and telemetry data. In further operations, the method provides for generating a game state of the challenge game based on the processing game data and based on the set of rules for the first player and the second player to play the game pieces, wherein the game state of the challenge game includes the modified game play metric. In addition, the method comprises the following operations: presenting a graphic of the challenge game based on a game state of the challenge game, the graphic including an indication of the modified game play metric; and the following operations: a spectator interface is transmitted for display to a spectator's device for viewing the challenge game, where the spectator interface includes first and second videos and graphics of game pieces played by the first and second players, respectively.
