Abstract

ABSTRACT We present Echo+, an expanded and improved version of our previous gameplay tool, Echo. Echo+ is designed to help bridge the gap between video footage analysis and game analytics. It facilitates this by interactively reconstructing gameplay sessions from recorded data, complete with their original graphics. We present and discuss several new features and changes integrated into Echo+, many of which are based on feedback from our previous evaluation of Echo. We also present a user evaluation that compares the usefulness of Echo+ across four different popular game genres. Participants found Echo+ to be useful in all genres, but there was no clear ordering to them regarding usefulness. We identified several key differences in terms of how Echo+ is used in different genres. In addition, we discuss various avenues for expansion of the tool and possible approaches for evaluating it in the future.
