Abstract
A system of classifying game styles may track a play of a user of one or more media content. The tracked play of the user of one or more media content may be analyzed to characterize the play of the user based on one or more categories of user gameplay style. A plurality of categories of user gameplay style may be selected to be displayed as a visual display of the user gameplay style. The visual display of the user gameplay style may be compared to one or more visual displays of characteristics of other media content. A recommendation for other media content that share similar characteristics to the user gameplay style may be generated.
Claims23
A method of comparing game characteristics, the method comprising:
- retrieving a plurality of activity files associated with a plurality of gameplay sessions of a game title associated with a plurality of game characteristics;
- and
- executing instructions stored in memory, wherein the instructions are executed by a processor to:
- analyze the activity files to identify a set of the game characteristics that are associated with repeated behavioral traits during the gameplay sessions;
- apply a weight to one or more of the game characteristics in the set associated with the repeated behavioral traits;
- compare the weighted game characteristics of the game title to game characteristics of at least one other game title, wherein comparing the weighted game characteristics include identifying one or more similarities and one or more differences between the weighted game characteristics of the game title and the game characteristics of the at least one other game title;
- and
- generate a custom notification provided to a user device associated with the game title, wherein the custom notification includes the identified similarities and differences between the weighted game characteristics of the game title and the game characteristics of the at least one other game title.
A system of comparing game characteristics, the system comprising:
- a database in memory that stores a plurality of activity files associated with a plurality of gameplay sessions of a game title associated with a plurality of game characteristics;
- and
- a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor:
- analyzes the activity files to identify a set of the game characteristics that are associated with repeated behavioral traits during the gameplay sessions;
- applies a weight to one or more of the game characteristics in the set associated with the repeated behavioral traits;
- compares the weighted game characteristics of the game title to game characteristics of at least one other game title, wherein comparing the weighted game characteristics include identifying one or more similarities and one or more differences between the weighted game characteristics of the game title and the game characteristics of the at least one other game title;
- and
- generates a custom notification provided to a user device associated with the game title, wherein the custom notification includes the identified similarities and differences between the weighted game characteristics of the game title and the game characteristics of the at least one other game title.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method of comparing game characteristics, the method comprising:
- retrieving a plurality of activity files associated with a plurality of gameplay sessions of a game title associated with a plurality of game characteristics;
- analyze the activity files to identify a set of the game characteristics that are associated with repeated behavioral traits during the gameplay sessions;
- apply a weight to one or more of the game characteristics in the set associated with the repeated behavioral traits;
- compare the weighted game characteristics of the game title to game characteristics of at least one other game title, wherein comparing the weighted game characteristics include identifying one or more similarities and one or more differences between the weighted game characteristics of the game title and the game characteristics of the at least one other game title;
- and
- generate a custom notification provided to a user device associated with the game title, wherein the custom notification includes the identified similarities and differences between the weighted game characteristics of the game title and the game characteristics of the at least one other game title.
