Sony's new patent listing describes a feature where the system stitches together disparate recorded gameplay sections into a single video file without any breaks in gameplay. According to the patent description, the feature would allow the player to pick and choose from a variety of different gameplay recordings they had made. Particularly noteworthy is the listing's mention of users being able to set pre-determined criteria by which the feature would automatically replace some or all of an existing "save state" video it had previously recorded. The whole setup sounds potentially computationally expensive, suggesting that it might make use of Sony's previous multi-GPU patent in some capacity.
