The present invention relates to video games and, more specifically, multiplayer rhythm-action games.
Music making is often a collaborative effort among many musicians who interact with each other. One form of musical interaction may be provided by a video game genre known as “rhythm-action,” which involves a player performing phrases from a pre-recorded musical composition using a video game's input device to simulate a musical performance. If the player performs a sufficient percentage of the notes or cues displayed, he may score well and win the game. If the player fails to perform a sufficient percentage, he may score poorly and lose the game. Two or more players may compete against each other, such as by each one attempting to play back different, parallel musical phrases from the same song simultaneously, by playing alternating musical phrases from a song, or by playing similar phrases simultaneously. The player who plays the highest percentage of notes correctly may achieve the highest score and win. Two or more players may also play with each other cooperatively. In this mode, players may work together to play a song, such as by playing different parts of a song, either on similar or dissimilar instruments. One example of a rhythm-action game is the GUITAR HERO series of games published by Red Octane and Activision. Another example of a rhythm-action game is the KARAOKE REVOLUTION series of games published by Konami.
In some single-player rhythm action games, such as the GUITAR HERO series, it is possible for a player to “fail” midway through a song. That is, if the player's performance falls below a given threshold, the player may be prevented from completing the song. Such a failure may be accompanied by sounds of the music stopping, the crowd booing, and images of the band stopping the performance. This possibility of failure may enhance a game by providing more serious consequences for poor performance than simply a lower score. If a player wants to complete a song to the end, the player must satisfy a minimum standard of performance. Adapting this failure mechanic to a multiplayer game presents a challenge, as the enhanced incentives for good performance may be desired, but it may be undesirable for one player to remain inactive for long periods of time whilst others play a song.
Broadly, the present invention relates to enabling band members to use their own performance during a song to reinstate a band member who has failed during the course of the song. Once a band member has failed, options are given to other members of the band who have achieved a predetermined bonus or performance level to save the fallen band member. Once saved, the failed member returns to normal play of the song. In this manner, failure still has the consequence of removing a player from a song at least temporarily, and perhaps permanently if bandmates are unable or unwilling to save the fallen member. However, by providing the option of reinstatement, band members can prevent their friends from long stretches of inactivity following a failure. This may have the added benefit of encouraging band members to perform strongly in order to be able to save their friends.
In one aspect, the present invention relates to methods for reinstating a player within a rhythm action game. In one embodiment, a method includes: changing the status of a first player of a rhythm-action game from an active play status to an inactive play status during a performance a song; determining a value, associated with a second player of the rhythm-action game, exceeds a predetermined threshold; detecting an action of the second player; the action generated via manipulation of an input device by the second player; and reinstating the first player, in response to the determined value and the detected action, to an active play status during the performance of the song. In some embodiments, a bonus may be subtracted from the second player as a cost of the reinstatement. In some embodiments, a total performance level for the band may be drained during the time a player is inactive, providing additional incentive for a band mate to reinstate the failed player.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to computer readable media comprising executable code for reinstating a player within a rhythm action game. In one embodiment, a computer readable medium has executable code for changing the status of a first player of a rhythm-action game from an active play status to an inactive play status during a performance of a song; executable code for determining a value, associated with a second player of the rhythm-action game, exceeds a predetermined threshold; executable code for detecting an action of the second player; the action generated via manipulation of an input device by the second player; and executable code for reinstating the first player, in response to the determined value and the detected action, to an active play status during the performance of the song.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become more apparent and better understood by referring to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

As the gems move along a respective lane, musical data represented by the gems may be substantially simultaneously played as audible music. In some embodiments, audible music represented by a gem is only played (or only played at full or original fidelity) if a player successfully “performs the musical content” by capturing or properly executing the gem. In some embodiments, a musical tone is played to indicate successful execution of a musical event by a player. In other embodiments, a stream of audio is played to indicate successful execution of a musical event by a player. In certain embodiments, successfully performing the musical content triggers or controls the animations of avatars.
In other embodiments, the audible music, tone, or stream of audio represented by a cue is modified, distorted, or otherwise manipulated in response to the player's proficiency in executing cues associated with a lane. For example, various digital filters can operate on the audible music, tone, or stream of audio prior to being played by the game player. Various parameters of the filters can be dynamically and automatically modified in response to the player capturing cues associated with a lane, allowing the audible music to be degraded if the player performs poorly or enhancing the audible music, tone, or stream of audio if the player performs well. For example, if a player fails to execute a game event, the audible music, tone, or stream of audio represented by the failed event may be muted, played at less than full volume, or filtered to alter its sound.
In certain embodiments, a “wrong note” sound may be substituted for the music represented by the failed event. Conversely, if a player successfully executes a game event, the audible music, tone, or stream of audio may be played normally. In some embodiments, if the player successfully executes several, successive game events, the audible music, tone, or stream of audio associated with those events may be enhanced, for example, by adding an echo or “reverb” to the audible music. The filters can be implemented as analog or digital filters in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. Further, application of the filter to the audible music output, which in many embodiments corresponds to musical events represented by cues, can be done dynamically, that is, during play. Alternatively, the musical content may be processed before game play begins. In these embodiments, one or more files representing modified audible output may be created and musical events to output may be selected from an appropriate file responsive to the player's performance.
In addition to modification of the audio aspects of game events based on the player's performance, the visual appearance of those events may also be modified based on the player's proficiency with the game. For example, failure to execute a game event properly may cause game interface elements to appear more dimly. Alternatively, successfully executing game events may cause game interface elements to glow more brightly. Similarly, the player's failure to execute game events may cause their associated avatar to appear embarrassed or dejected, while successful performance of game events may cause their associated avatar to appear happy and confident. In other embodiments, successfully executing cues associated with a lane causes the avatar associated with that lane to appear to play an instrument. For example, the drummer avatar will appear to strike the correct drum for producing the audible music. Successful execution of a number of successive cues may cause the corresponding avatar to execute a “flourish,” such as kicking their leg, pumping their fist, performing a guitar “windmill,” spinning around, winking at the “crowd,” or throwing drum sticks.
Player interaction with a cue may be required in a number of different ways. In general, the player is required to provide input when a cue passes under or over a respective one of a set of target markers 140, 141 disposed on the lane. For example, the player associated with lane 102 (lead guitar) may use a specialized controller to interact with the game that simulates a guitar, such as a Guitar Hero SG Controller, manufactured by RedOctane of Sunnyvale, Calif. In this embodiment, the player executes the cue by activating the “strum bar” while pressing the correct fret button of the controller when the cue 125 passes under the target marker 141. In other embodiments, the player may execute a cue by performing a “hammer on” or “pull off,” which requires quick depression or release of a fret button without activation of the strum bar. In other embodiments, the player may be required to perform a cue using a “whammy bar” provided by the guitar controller. For example, the player may be required to bend the pitch of a note represented by a cue using the whammy bar. In some embodiments, the guitar controller may also use one or more “effects pedals,” such as reverb or fuzz, to alter the sound reproduced by the gaming platform.
In other embodiments, player interaction with a cue may comprise singing a pitch and or a lyric associated with a cue. For example, the player associated with lane 101 may be required to sing into a microphone to match the pitches indicated by the gem 124 as the gem 124 passes over the target marker 140. As shown in
In still other embodiments, a player interaction with a cue may comprise any manipulation of any simulated instrument and/or game controller.

In other embodiments, a game display may alternate the display of one or more avatars and/or the display of the band as a whole. For example, during the performance of a song, a display may switch between a number of camera angle providing, for example, close-ups of the guitarist, bassist, drummer, or vocalist, shots of the band as a whole, shots of the crowd, and/or any combination of the avatars, stage, crowd, and instruments. In some embodiments, the sequence and timing of camera angles may be selected to resemble a music video. In some embodiments, the camera angles may be selected to display an avatar of a player who is performing a distinctive portion of a song. In other embodiments the camera angles may be selected to display an avatar of a player who is performing particularly well or poorly. In some embodiments, an avatar's gestures or actions may correspond to the current camera angle. For example, an avatar may have certain moves, such as a jump, head bang, devil horns, special dance, or other move, which are performed when a close-up of the avatar is shown. In some embodiments, the avatars motions may be choreographed to mimic the actual playing of the song. For example, if a song contains a section where the drummer hits a cymbal crash, the drummer avatar may be shown to hit a cymbal crash at the correct point in the song.
In some embodiments, avatars may interact with the crowd at a venue, and camera angles may correspond to the interaction. For example, in one camera angle, an avatar may be shown pointing at various sections of the crowd. In the next camera angle the various sections of the crowd may be shown screaming, waving, or otherwise interacting with the avatar. In other embodiments, avatars may interact with each other. For example, two avatars may lean back-to-back while performing a portion of a song. Or for example, the entire band may jump up and land simultaneously, and stage pyrotechnics may also be synchronized to the band's move.
In some embodiments, the “lanes” containing the musical cues to be performed by the players may be on screen continuously. In other embodiments one or more lanes may be removed in response to game conditions, for example if a player has failed a portion of a song, or if a song contains an extended time without requiring input from a given player.
Although depicted in
In some embodiments, a lane does not extend perpendicularly from the image plane of the display, but instead extends obliquely from the image plane of the display. In further embodiments, the lane may be curved or may be some combination of curved portions and straight portions. In still further embodiments, the lane may form a closed loop through which the viewer may travel, such as a circular or ellipsoid loop.
It should be understood that the display of three-dimensional “virtual” space is an illusion achieved by mathematically “rendering” two-dimensional images from objects in a three-dimensional “virtual space” using a “virtual camera,” just as a physical camera optically renders a two-dimensional view of real three-dimensional objects. Animation may be achieved by displaying a series of two-dimensional views in rapid succession, similar to motion picture films that display multiple still photographs per second.
To generate the three-dimensional space, each object in the three-dimensional space is typically modeled as one or more polygons, each of which has associated visual features such as texture, transparency, lighting, shading, anti-aliasing, z-buffering, and many other graphical attributes. The combination of all the polygons with their associated visual features can be used to model a three-dimensional scene. A virtual camera may be positioned and oriented anywhere within the scene. In many cases, the camera is under the control of the viewer, allowing the viewer to scan objects. Movement of the camera through the three-dimensional space results in the creation of animations that give the appearance of navigation by the user through the three-dimensional environment.
A software graphics engine may be provided which supports three-dimensional scene creation and manipulation. A graphics engine generally includes one or more software modules that perform the mathematical operations necessary to “render” the three-dimensional environment, which means that the graphics engine applies texture, transparency, and other attributes to the polygons that make up a scene. Graphic engines that may be used in connection with the present invention include Gamebryo, manufactured by Emergent Game Technologies of Calabasas, Calif., the Unreal Engine, manufactured by Epic Games, and Renderware, manufactured by Criterion Software of Austin, Tex. In other embodiments, a proprietary graphic engine may be used. In many embodiments, a graphics hardware accelerator may be utilized to improve performance. Generally, a graphics accelerator includes video memory that is used to store image and environment data while it is being manipulated by the accelerator.
In other embodiments, a three-dimensional engine may not be used. Instead, a two-dimensional interface may be used. In such an embodiment, video footage of a band can be used in the background of the video game. In others of these embodiments, traditional two-dimensional computer-generated representations of a band may be used in the game. In still further embodiments, the background may be only slightly related, or unrelated, to the band. For example, the background may be a still photograph or an abstract pattern of colors. In these embodiments, the lane may be represented as a linear element of the display, such as a horizontal, vertical or diagonal element.

In some embodiments, a player is associated with a “turntable” or “scratch” track. In these embodiments, the player may provide input using a simulated turntable such as the turntable controller sold by Konami Corporation.
Local play may be competitive or it may be cooperative. Cooperative play is when two or more players work together in an attempt to earn a combined score. Competitive play may be when a player competes against another player in an attempt to earn a higher score. In other embodiments, competitive play involves a team of cooperating players competing against another team of competing players in attempt to achieve a higher team score than the other team. Competitive local play may be head-to-head competition using the same instrument, head-to-head competition using separate instruments, simultaneous competition using the same instrument, or simultaneous competition using separate instruments. In some embodiments, rather than competing for a high score, players or teams may compete for the best crowd rating, longest consecutive correct note streak, highest accuracy, or any other performance metric. In some embodiments, competitive play may feature a “tug-of-war” on a crowd meter, in which each side tries to “pull” a crowd meter in their direction by successfully playing a song. In one embodiment, a limit may be placed on how far ahead one side can get in a competitive event. In this manner, even a side which has been significantly outplayed in the first section of a song may have a chance late in a song to win the crowd back and win the event.
In one embodiment, competition in local play may involve two or more players using the same type of instrument controller to play the game, for example, guitar controllers. In some embodiments, each player associates themselves with a band in order to begin play. In other embodiments, each player can simply play “solo,” without association with a band. In these embodiments, the other instruments required for performance of a musical composition are reproduced by the gaming platform. Each of the players has an associated lane and each player is alternately required to perform a predetermined portion of the musical composition. Each player scores depending on how faithfully he or she reproduces their portions of the musical composition. In some embodiments, scores may be normalized to produce similar scores and promote competition across different difficulty levels. For example, a guitarist on a “medium” difficulty level may be required to perform half of the notes as a guitarist on a “hard” difficulty level and, as such, should get 100 points per note instead of 50. An additional per-difficulty scalar may be required to make this feel “fair.”
This embodiment of head-to-head play may be extended to allow the players to use different types of game controllers and, therefore, to perform different portions of the musical composition. For example, one player may elect to play using a guitar-type controller while a second player may play using a drum-type controller. Alternatively, each player may use a guitar-type controller, but one player elects to play “lead guitar” while the other player elects to play “rhythm guitar” or, in some embodiments, “bass guitar.” In these examples, the gaming platform reproduces the instruments other than the guitar when it is the first player's turn to play, and the lane associated with the first player is populated with gems representing the guitar portion of the composition. When it is time for the second player to compete, the gaming platform reproduces the instruments other than, for example, the drum part, and the second player's lane is populated with gems representing the drum portion of the musical composition. In some of these embodiments, a scalar factor may be applied to the score of one of the player's to compensate for the differences in the parts of the musical composition.
In still other embodiments, the players may compete simultaneously, that is, each player may provide a musical performance at the same time as the other player. In some embodiments, both players may use the same type of controller. In these embodiments, each player's lane provides the same pattern of cues and each player attempts to reproduce the musical performance identified by those elements more faithfully than the other player. In other embodiments, the players use different types of controllers. In these embodiments, one player attempts to reproduce one portion of a musical composition while the other player tries to represent a different portion of the same composition.
In any of these forms of competition, the relative performance of a player may affect their associated avatar. For example, the avatar of a player that is doing better than the competition may, for example, smile, look confident, glow, swagger, “pogo stick,” etc. Conversely, the losing player's avatar may look depressed, embarrassed, etc.
Instead of competing, the players may cooperate in an attempt to achieve a combined score. In these embodiments, the score of each player contributes to the score of the team, that is, a single score is assigned to the team based on the performance of all players. As described above, a scalar factor may be applied to the score of one of the player's to compensate for the differences in the parts of the musical composition.

The meter 180 may indicate any measure of performance, and performance may be computed in any manner. In some embodiments, the meter 180 may indicate a weighted rolling average of a player's performance. For example, a player's position on the meter may reflect a percentage of notes successfully hit, where more recent notes are weighted more heavily than less recent notes. In another embodiment, a player's position on the meter may be calculated by computing a weighted average of the player's performance on a number of phrases. In some embodiments, a player's position on the meter may be updated on a note-by-note basis. In other embodiments, a player's position on the meter may be updated on a phrase-by-phrase basis. The meter may also indicate any measure of a band's performance. In some embodiments, the meter may display the band's performance as an average of each of the players' performances. In other embodiments, the indicated band's performance may comprise a weighted average in which some players' performances are more heavily weighted.
In some embodiments, the meter 180 may comprise subdivisions which indicate relative levels of performance. For example, in the embodiment shown, the meter 140 is divided roughly into thirds, which may correspond to Good, Average, and Poor performance.
In some embodiments, a player or players in a band may “fail” a song if their performance falls to the bottom of the meter. In some embodiments, consequences of failing a song may include being removed from the rest of the song. In these embodiments, a player who has failed may have their lane removed from the display, and the audio corresponding to that player's part may be removed. In some embodiments, if a single member of a band fails a song, the band may consequently fail the song. In other embodiments, if a member of a band fails a song, one or more other members of the band may continue playing. In still other embodiments, one or more other members of a band may reinstate the failed player.
The icons 181, 182 displayed to indicate each player may comprise any graphical or textual element. In some embodiments, the icons may comprise text with the name of one or more of the players. In another embodiment the icon may comprise text with the name of the instrument of the player. In other embodiments, the icons may comprise a graphical icon corresponding to the instrument of the player. For example, an icon containing a drawing of a drum 182 may be used to indicate the performance of a drummer.
The overall performance of the band may be indicated in any manner on the meter 180. In the embodiment shown, a filled bar indicates the band's performance as a whole. In other embodiments, the band's performance may be represented by an icon. In some embodiments, individual performances may not be indicated on a meter, and only the performance of the band as a whole may be displayed.
Although described above in the context of a single player providing a single type of input, a single player may provide one or more types of input simultaneously. For example, a single player providing instrument-based input (such as for a lead guitar track, bass guitar track, rhythm guitar track, keyboard track, drum track, or other percussion track) and vocal input simultaneously.

In some embodiments, if a given amount of bonuses are accumulated, a player may activate the bonus to trigger an in-game effect. An in-game effect may comprise a graphical display change including, without limitation, an increase or change in crowd animation, avatar animation, performance of a special trick by the avatar, lighting change, setting change, or change to the display of the lane of the player. An in-game effect may also comprise an aural effect, such as a guitar modulation, including feedback, distortion, screech, flange, wah-wah, echo, or reverb, a crowd cheer, an increase in volume, and/or an explosion or other aural signifier that the bonus has been activated. An in-game effect may also comprise a score effect, such as a score multiplier or bonus score addition. In some embodiments, the in-game effect may last a predetermined amount of time for a given bonus activation.
In some embodiments, bonuses may be accumulated and/or deployed in a continuous manner. In other embodiments, bonuses may be accumulated and/or deployed in a discrete manner. For example, instead of the continuous bar shown in
In some embodiments, bonus accumulation and deployment may be different for each simulated instrument. For example, in one embodiment only the bass player may accumulate bonuses, while only the lead guitarist can deploy the bonuses.
In some embodiments, a separate performance meter (not shown) may be displayed under the lane 102 of each player. This separate performance meter may comprise a simplified indication of how well the player is doing. In one embodiment, the separate performance meter may comprise an icon which indicates whether a player is doing great, well, or poorly. For example, the icon for “great” may comprise a hand showing devil horns, “good” may be a thumbs up, and “poor” may be a thumbs down. In other embodiments, a player's lane may flash or change color to indicate good or poor performance.
Each player may use a gaming platform in order to participate in the game. In one embodiment, the gaming platform is a dedicated game console, such as: PLAYSTATION2, PLAYSTATION3, or PLAYSTATION PERSONAL, manufactured by Sony Corporation; DREAMCAST, manufactured by Sega Corp.; GAMECUBE, GAMEBOY, GAMEBOY ADVANCE, or WII, manufactured by Nintendo Corp.; or XBOX or XBOX360, manufactured by Microsoft Corp. In other embodiments, the gaming platform comprises a personal computer, personal digital assistant, or cellular telephone. In some embodiments, the players associated with avatars may be physically proximate to one another. For example, each of the players associated with the avatars may connect their respective game controllers into the same gaming platform (“local play”).
In some embodiments, one or more of the players may participate remotely.
When a networked multiplayer game session begins at the direction of one of the players, that player's gaming platform 100a (the “host”) transmits a “start” instruction to all other gaming platforms participating in the networked game, and the game begins on all platforms. A timer begins counting on each gaming platform, each player's game cues are displayed, and each player begins attempting to perform the musical composition.
Gameplay on gaming platform 100a is independent from game play on gaming platform 100b, except that each player's gaming platform contains a local copy of the musical event data for all other players. The timers on the various gaming platforms communicate with each other via the network 196 to maintain approximate synchrony using any number of the conventional means known in the art.
The gaming platforms 100a, 100b also continually transmit game score data to each other, so that each system (and player) remains aware of the game score of all other systems (and players). Similarly, this is accomplished by any number of means known in the art. Note that this data is not particularly timing sensitive, because if there is momentary disagreement between any two gaming platforms regarding the score (or similar game-related parameters), the consequences to gameplay are negligible.
In one embodiment, as each player plays the game at their respective location, an analyzer module 187a, 187b on that player's gaming platform 100a, 100b continually extracts data from an event monitor 185a, 185b regarding the local player's performance, referred to hereafter as “emulation data”. Emulation data may include any number of parameters that describe how well the player is performing. Some examples of these parameters include:
Each analyzer module 187a, 187b continually transmits the emulation data it extracts over the network 196 using transceiver 190a, 190b; each event monitor 185a, 185b continually receives the other gaming platform's emulation data transmitted over the network 196.
In one embodiment, the emulation data essentially contains a statistical description of a player's performance in the recent past. The event monitor 185a, 185b uses received emulation data to create a statistical approximation of the remote player's performance.
In one particular example, an incoming emulation parameter from a remote player indicates that the most recent remote event was correctly reproduced. When the local event monitor 185a, 185b reaches the next note in the local copy of the remote player's note data, it will respond accordingly by “faking” a successfully played note, triggering the appropriate sound. That is, the local event monitor 185a, 185b will perform the next musical event from the other players' musical event data, even though that event was not necessarily actually performed by the other player's event monitor 185a, 185b. If instead the emulation parameter had indicated that the most recent remote event was a miss, no sound would be triggered.
In another particular example, an incoming emulation parameter from a remote player indicates that, during the last 8 beats, seventy-five percent (75%) of events were correctly reproduced and twenty-five percent (25%) were not correctly reproduced. When the local event monitor 185a reaches the next note in the local copy of the remote player's note data, it will respond accordingly by randomly reproducing the event correctly seventy-five percent (75%) of the time and not reproducing it correctly twenty-five percent (25%) of the time.
In another particular example, an incoming emulation parameter from a remote player indicates that, during the last 4 beats, 2 events were incorrectly performed, with an average timing error of fifty (50) “ticks.” The local event monitor 185a, 185b will respond accordingly by randomly generating incorrect events at a rate of 0.5 misses-per-beat, displacing them in time from nearby notes by the specified average timing error.
The above three cases are merely examples of the many types of emulation parameters that may be used. In essence, the remote player performances are only emulated (rather than exactly reproduced) on each local machine.
In this embodiment, the analyzer module 187a, 187b may extract musical parameters from the input and transmit them over a network 196 to a remote gaming platform. For example, the analyzer module 187a, 187b may simply transmit the input stream over a network 196 or it may extract the information into a more abstract form, such as “faster” or “lower.” Although described in the context of a two-player game, the technique may be used with any number of players.
Still referring to
In other embodiments, the transmitted data is associated with a flag that indicates whether the transmitted data represents a successfully executed musical event or an unsuccessfully executed musical event. In these embodiments, the analyzer 187a, 187b provides a locally-generated emulation parameter to the event monitor 185a, 185b based on the flag associated with the transmitted data.
One unusual side effect of these techniques is that each local player does not hear an exact reproduction of the remote players' performances; only a statistical approximation. However, these statistical approximations have two countervailing positive attributes: because they are synchronized to the local player's timer and the local copy of the remote players' note data, they are synchronous with the local player's performance; and while not exact reproductions, they are “close enough” to effectively communicate to the local player the essence of how well the remote players are performing musically. In this model, delays in the transmission of the data over the network 196 do not have the intolerable side effect of causing cacophonous asynchronicity between the note streams triggering sounds on each player's local system.
In other embodiments, a central server may be used to facilitate communication between the gaming platforms 100a, 100b. Extraction of emulation parameters is performed, as described above. The server distributes data, whether music performance data or emulation parameter data, to all other gaming platforms participating in the current game. In other embodiments, the server may store received data for use later. For example, a band may elect to use the stored data for the performance of a band member who is unavailable to play in a specific game.

In some embodiments, multiple players participate in an online face-off between two bands. A “band” is two or more players that play in a cooperative mode. In some embodiments, the two bands need to have the same types of instruments at the same difficulty level selection, i.e., a guitarist playing on “hard” and a bassist playing on “medium” playing against a guitarist playing on “hard” and a bassist playing on “medium.” In other embodiments, the two bands still need to have the same types of instruments but the difficulty selections can be different: Players participating at a lower difficulty level simply have fewer gems to contribute to the overall score. The song to be played may be selected after the teams have been paired up. Alternatively, a band may publish a challenge to play a particular song and a team may accept the challenge.
For example, a local group of players may formed a band and give their band a name (“The Freqs.”). Each of the four players in the “The Freqs” is local to one another. They may then competing against a team of players located remotely, who have formed a band called “The Champs.” In some cases “The Champs” may each be local to one another. In other cases, members of “The Champs” my be remote to each other. Each player in “The Freqs” and “the Champs” may see a display similar to
In some embodiments, the bands “trade” alternating portions of the musical composition to perform; that is, the performance of the song alternates between bands. In these embodiments, musical performance output from “The Champs” is reproduced locally at the gaming platform used by “The Freqs” when “The Champs” are performing. Similarly, the musical performance of “The Freqs” is reproduced remotely (using the emulation parameter technique described above) at the gaming platform of “The Champs” when “The Freqs” are performing. In other embodiments, the bands play simultaneously. In these embodiments, the displayed score may be the only feedback that “The Freqs” are provided regarding how well “The Champs” are performing.
In some particular embodiments, members of cooperating bands may be local to one another or remote from one another. Similarly, members of competing bands may be local to one another or remote from one another. In one example, each player is remote from every other player.
In some embodiments, players may form persistent bands. In these embodiments, those bands may only compete when at least a majority of the band in available online. In some of the embodiments, if a member of a persistent band in not online and the other band members want to compete, a gaming platform may substitute for the missing band member. Alternatively, a player unaffiliated with the band may substitute for the missing band member. In still other embodiments, a stream of emulation parameters stored during a previous performance by the missing band member may be substituted for the player. In other embodiments, an online venue may be provided allowing players to form impromptu bands. Impromptu bands may dissolve quickly or they may become persistent bands.

Removing a player from active participation may comprise any method of discontinuing a player's involvement in performing the song. In some embodiments, a failed player may no longer be allowed to hit notes or cues comprising the player's part. In some embodiments, the audio corresponding to the player's part in the band may be silenced. In some embodiments, a lane corresponding to the inactive player may be removed from the display. For example, referring ahead to
In other embodiments, any other graphical or audio output may be used to indicate a player has failed a song. In some embodiments, the failed players avatar may become dejected, stop playing the instrument, and/or be removed from the stage. In other embodiments, the player's avatar may be displayed along with graphical text stating “failed.” In other embodiments, the crowd may be shown to boo, heckle, taunt, or otherwise indicate dissatisfaction with the failed player's performance. In some embodiments, the crowd meter may change color, size, or otherwise indicate that a player has failed a song. For example, a player performing poorly may cause their icon on a performance meter 180 to change to red. After the player fails, the icon may change from red to black or gray.
In some embodiments, a band's overall performance may be adversely affected by the inactivation of a member. For example, a failed band member's performance may be continually given the lowest possible rating. This low rating may then pull down the average rating of the band. In other embodiments, the failed player may continually be docked for notes that the player should be playing if not for the player's failure. In these embodiments, the continual missed notes may serve as a drain on the performance of the band. In some embodiments, after a player has failed, the penalty for other players missing notes may be raised. In some embodiments, after a player has failed, a drain may be applied to the band's performance rating such that if the player is not reinstated in time, the band as a whole will fail the song. For example, the performance meter 320 in

In some embodiments, the value associated with the second player may comprise an amount of bonus stored by the player. In cases where a player may accumulate bonuses by successfully executing designated series of notes, a game may then determine whether the amount of accumulated bonus of the player exceeds a given threshold. For example, a player may be required to successfully execute two designated series of notes before the player reaches the predetermined bonus threshold.
A method for reinstating a player may also comprise detecting an action of a player (step 205). An action of a player may comprise any movement, sound, and/or manipulation of an input device. In some embodiments, the action may comprise the pressing of a button or strumming of a strum bar. In some embodiments, the action may comprise moving a simulated instrument, such as tilting a guitar controller. In other embodiments, the action may comprise striking a drum pad. In other embodiments, the action may comprise generating sound into a microphone.
In some embodiments, the action may be time-sensitive. For example, a player may be required to strike a given drum pad at a predetermined time, such as striking a pad corresponding to a cymbal crash at the end of a drum fill. Or for example, a player may be required to make noise into a microphone during a time when no lyrics are displayed.
In some embodiments, a player may be specifically prompted to perform the action if another player has failed and the player has enough accumulated bonus to “save” the failed played. Referring ahead to

A player reinstatement may be indicated graphically and/or aurally in any manner. In some embodiments, a lane corresponding to the player that has been removed may reappear. In other embodiments, a player's avatar may return to the stage, become energized, resume playing their on-screen instrument, or otherwise indicate their reinstatement. In some embodiments, the crowd may cheer, encourage, or otherwise indicate renewed approval for the reinstated player.
In some embodiments, the reinstated player may be shown with a message “resurrected” or a similar message indicating that the player has returned. In other embodiments, the player who saved the failed player may be shown with a graphic stating “savior” or a similar message identifying the player as the player who resuscitated the failed player.

Though
In other embodiments, a player may be able to resuscitate a bandmate simply by performing an action, such as tilting their guitar controller without the requirement of accruing a certain amount of points or bonus. Or, for example, a player may be able to reinstate a bandmate by executing a specific sequence of actions. Such a sequence of actions may be adjusted based on the difficulty level of the failed player and/or the player attempting reinstatement. Or, for example, a player may be able to reinstate a bandmate by successfully completing a minigame during the song.
In some embodiments, the number of times a player may be reinstated during a song may be limited. For example, a player may only be allowed to be reinstated twice during a given song. If the player fails the song a third time, the player may be kept inactive for the duration of the song and ineligible for reinstatement. In some embodiments, the number of times a player may be reinstated during a performance of a set of songs may be limited. For example, a player may only be allowed to be reinstated twice during a given performance. If the player fails a song a third time during the performance, the player may be kept inactive for the duration of the performance. In some embodiments, the number of times a player is allowed to be reinstated may be varied based on a preset difficulty level. In other embodiments, the number of times a player is allowed to be reinstated may be varied based on the instrument type corresponding to the player.
