Thankfully that's unlikely due to such an approach having a completely different implementation.

    And also due to it being something no one fucking wants.

    No one wants a ghost recording? Due to the common use of it in racing games since forever and the implementation of a similar mechanic in FromSoftware games being so well received.

    Visual similarities ≠ identical mechanic.

    FS's is a way for human players to interact in each others games. And racing ghosts are just asynchronous multiplayer.

    This is literal hand-holding so the player doesn't have to bother actually playing the game.

    Right. I'm going to have to suggest you re-read my comment and the context. What I was saying was that a ghost function that isn't AI-powered wouldn't be susceptible to legal action under this patent. I also have no doubt Sony will force this in anyway. All of the big companies have gone gaga for AI. I have absolutely no idea why other than very poorly made projections, but the reality is they insist on using the biggest crowbar they can find.
