Replays

Post by Rider »

Or, the ability to record a match to allow a player to review the match from his own, or another perspective. It would allow people to look at their actions, and their opponent's, and see why they lost/won. This could lead to more decent players and a more lively multiplayer scene.

Would be even more interesting if you were able to take over a player in the middle of the game and finish it from that point (like in Toribash :geek: )

But I think having replays like that would be difficult because every hit/miss would need to be saved and timed correctly. I don't know up to which level that complicates things, though.

Good idea, anyway :)

FPI

Replays aren't too hard to do. It would probably be enough to just record all network activity and play it back.

Hey, it was added just now, I've checked the list before posting :wink:
But I remember seeing this already suggested, yeah. Good thing that it's possible.

Hey, I said "FPI", which can be short for "I've just added this to the FPI list".

This is like the fifth time I've suggested replaying network information for replays.

Ok, no problem. But "added to FPI" would be enough to avoid possible misunderstanding :D
