GameSpy Technology Helps iPhone Gamers Set Real-Life Guinness World Record
Attention iPhone gamers: your fingers are about to help you set a world record.
GameSpy Technology, Warner Bros. Digital Entertainment and Guinness World Records have teamed up to challenge players of the GameSpy-powered iPhone game, Guinness World Records to become a certified world record holder by playing the game.
By logging into the game with a GameSpy ID, playing the Video Game score event (also known as the “Asteroids Spaceship Game") and holding the record for most points on August 15, 2009, one player will have their name recorded in the Guinness World Records 2010 Gamers Edition as the iPhone gaming champion. To participate, players simply need to download the Guinness World Records game to their iPhones from the AppStore, create / log in with a valid GameSpy ID, then play the Video Game Score event until they hold the highest online record in the system. Stats collection for the competition will end at 11:59:59 PDT on August 15. No word yet on whether the Guinness folks will supply a frothy pint of stout to help the winner celebrate.
GameSpy Technology provided connected gaming services for Guinness World Records. Warner Bros. and developer Traveller’s Tales Games utilized the company’s Sake cloud date storage system to record, store and share stats collected by the game’s players – which are then displayed in player profiles and local, regional and global leaderboards in the game and on the game’s official Website.
We’ve got a detailed case study of our work on the game posted on the GameSpy Technology Website.
If you’re an iPhone game developer looking to set a few records of your own, GameSpy can help – our full suite of connected gaming services are available on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Contact us for details!
