摘要

A method for gaming comprising receiving a selection of a video recording of a player''s gameplay for a gaming application from a user''s client device, and streaming the video recording to the client device. The video recording is associated with a snapshot captured at a first point in the recorded gameplay. The selection of the jump point in the recorded game play is received from the client device. An instance of the gaming application is launched based on the snapshot to initiate jump game play. Input commands used to direct the game play and associated with the snapshot are accessed. Image frames are generated based on the input commands for rendering in the client device, and the image frames replay the game play to the jump point. The input instructions from the client device are handled starting from the jump point for the jumping game play.
