  • REPLAY EDITOR IN VIDEO GAMES
    Publication number: 20250229176
    Abstract: A gaming system may allow for a user to capture and/or edit simulation state data of gameplay in a video game such that a replay of the gameplay may be rendered and/or shared. The gaming system may receive simulation state data and a request. The simulation state data may include simulation state(s) which include a model and pose state of an avatar corresponding to a player in a game simulation of a video game previously rendered as rendered view(s). The request may request a replay of the simulation state data with modification(s). The gaming system may modify the simulation state data to generate modified simulation state data and render, based on the modified simulation state data, replay view(s) that differ from the previously rendered view(s). The gaming system may then output the replay view(s) to a display of a computing device.
