Comment on New Sony Patent Will Let You Replay A Game From Any Point Possible
helloharu@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe patent shows that the save states stream through an API, it’s likely this isn’t for local save but for people streaming games. It will open streaming possibilities like letting audiences pick up exactly where the person they’re watching is, or other audient interactions like “beat this section quicker than I did.”

In that case there is little difference to just sharing a save file, which everybody can already do. If this is everything that the patent covers, then I’m against them having a patent for it. That idea is so generic and nothing somebody should be allowed to have control over

I don’t disagree as iirc the Stadia had a “Share State” feature that isn’t a far cry from this - though that didn’t rely on trigger points.
