+[[Replays]] are typically added to a game design to allow the storing of players' [[Enactment]] or other actions where there exists [[Performance Uncertainty]]. This [[Enactment]] is typical a form of [[Real-Time Performance]] and may be more motivated for [[Physical Enactment]] than other types of [[Enactment]]. While [[Replays]] can be displayed back to players as part of the game experience or directly afterwards, another use of [[Replays]] are to support [[Extra-Game Broadcasting]].
 [[Replays]] are from a gameplay perspective trivial to design. They do however need [[Dedicated Game Facilitators]], not only to generate the actual footage but also to be able and store the [[Replays]] and later play them. They also require consideration on how controlling the creation of [[Replays]] can be done through the game interface without distracting from playing the games. One design option that does exist for [[Replays]] is whether it is players or the game system that initiates the recording and presentations of [[Replays]]. An example of the latter is [[Killcams]], which affect gameplay since they are shown directly after kills and can reveal the location of enemy players.

+[[Replays]] are a form of [[Extra-Game Consequences]] of gameplay and can be seen as a way to display [[Gameplay Statistics]] from a specific game instance. When players can control the creation of [[Replays]] this gives them a [[Freedom of Choice]] to engage in [[Extra-Game Actions]], possibly to create [[Game Instance Stories]]. These can be used later to allow others to be [[Spectators]] to game sessions. This in turn can support [[Meta Games]] in the form of [[Speedruns]].
 [[Replays]] can be the basis for [[Bragging]] and [[Game-Based Social Statuses]]. For [[Single-Player Games]], this can modulate them so they support [[Social Interaction]] even if not during gameplay itself.
