Sony patented a system in the cloud, to add new content to video games through Gaikai.
In 2012 Sony patented a new technology related to cloud services through which could modify and add new content to games emulated through this system. Described as a “configured to operate on the network emulator,” says this patent the need to find “new ways to play existing titles to increase longevity of the ancient games.”
“Instead of completing the same level or the same missions repeatedly, players often want new challenges when re- play classic titles. Responding to this need, the designers have started producing mini“continues writing by Sony for this patent. “Within a mini game, users can be instructed to complete new objectives or challenge your friends for the highest scores in a format that was not originally conceived as such in the old game. Moreover, as the mini game in question is derived from an existing game, the player already knows the players and the basic components of the program “. Is not clear exactly what the ultimate utility of this technology, or if it would be related to the backward compatibility to its previous Sony consoles through the cloud service Gaikai .
