The agent creating method includes creating, by an agent creating apparatus, a base agent on the basis of a common action characteristic pattern of players to transfer the base agent to the game server, receiving, by the agent creating apparatus, match result data obtained by performing a match between the base agent and a character of an individual player, and performing, by the agent creating apparatus, machine learning by using the match result data and creating an evolved agent customized for matchmaking of the individual player on the basis of a result of the machine learning.

Embodiments include a system and method that facilitate detecting a request from a player to share a trigger clip of a video game, preparing the trigger clip for sharing and sharing the trigger clip in a message to a third party or to a social media destination. Additional embodiments include storing one or more trigger clips in a library where the trigger clips are available for searching and review by players and others. Advantages include making the trigger clips available for subsequent review, training, coaching and other purposes.

To provide a program, an information storage medium, an image processing device, an image processing method, and a data structure capable of collaboration between replay data and a motion picture produced by an image capturing unit during a period corresponding to the replay data. A replay data obtaining unit obtains replay data for reproducing the status of execution of a program. A captured motion picture obtaining unit obtains a captured motion picture that is produced by the image capturing unit during an image capturing period including at least a part of a reproduction period in which the status of execution of the program is reproduced based on replay data. A data holding unit holds replay data and a captured motion picture so as to be correlated to each other.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, an embodiment for detecting a map associated with a gaming session for a video game executing on a computing device associated with a first user, and obtaining a map equalizer profile associated with the map for the video game. Further embodiments can include determining a first avatar, associated with the first user, is located within a first environment of the map for the video game, and obtaining a first environment equalizer profile associated with the first environment. Additional embodiments can include providing first instructions to the computing device associated with the first user according to the map equalizer profile and the first environment equalizer profile. The first instructions indicate to the computing device to adjust audio output of the video game according to the map equalizer profile and the first environment equalizer profile. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

A server system reproduces a past gameplay based on original data in a virtual three-dimensional space and displays the scenes of the gameplay on a user terminal of a live commentary user. Along with this, the server system causes a live commentary object having not existed in the original gameplay to appear in the virtual three-dimensional space in accordance with a live commentary addition operation by the live commentary user, and adds an additional virtual camera (additional camera CM1) to the virtual three-dimensional space to modify the reproduction play of the original gameplay. The server system generates modified reproduction data capable of reproducing a modified reproduction play and manages the modified reproduction data in association with the original data.

An apparatus comprising a game engine circuit, a controller circuit and a replay circuit. The game engine circuit may be configured to generate a video signal that represents a real time game environment. The controller circuit may be configured to present signals received from a game user. The signals may be configured to control operations of an avatar of a game player within the real time game environment. The replay circuit may be configured to store a frame comprising (i) one or more portions of the video signal and (ii) one or more game restore points. The stored frames may be configured to (i) allow the game user to review a previously played portion of the game environment and (ii) resume playback in the real time game environment from one of the game restore points.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that has a memory to store instructions and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations that include defining a group of perspectives around an avatar controlled by a player of a video game, detecting a current trigger during the video game, recording a trigger clip of game content for each perspective in the group of perspectives resulting in a group of trigger clips, wherein each trigger clip of the group of trigger clips is a portion of game content that includes the current trigger from each perspective of the group of perspectives, and providing the group of trigger clips over a communication network to a gaming device utilized by the player. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Methods enable creation of a game slice from a game. Plurality of games is provided for presentation on a display device. Each game is identified by an image. Selection activity is detected at the image of one of the games. In response to the selection, game code of the selected game is executed to enable game play of an unlocked game. The selected game is streamed to the display device. User interaction related to the game play is received. A recording of the game play is examined to identify portions of the game for generating a game slice, which are returned in a suggested list for selection. Game slice is generated for a selected portion from the list. A recording of the game play for the game slice is associated as a primary video segment. The game slice and the primary video segment are provided for sharing over a network.

A method is given for providing a visualization of a scene corresponding to game play. The method includes steps of receiving at a visualization server information about a scene corresponding to game play at a client computer, receiving additional information about the scene at the visualization server; and constructing a visualization at the visualization server based on the scene, the constructing based at least in part on the received information and the received additional information. In another embodiment, the visualization may be composed by the user rather than being a scene corresponding to game play. In a further embodiment, a method is given for providing a visualization of a scene corresponding to game play, including: receiving at a visualization server information about a scene corresponding to game play at a client; modifying the scene information; and constructing a visualization at the visualization server based on the modified scene information.
