Emrah Says: August 21st, 2008 at 4:58 am QTE provide a different type of gameplay. I don’t think giving her standard moves would comply with the cinematic feel of the game. It would be like resident evil or something. If the action went on without quicktime events and just cutscenes, it would be a cutscene game. The ratio of quicktime events vs standard gameplay may be very important tho.

ehandlr Says: August 21st, 2008 at 7:54 am QTE’s do give a more realistic movement option to a game. Basically bc the moves are scripted and your just choosing A, B or C. I like them and from the video they do seem challenging at times.

Franklin Says: August 21st, 2008 at 3:20 pm If QTEs are thrown in every once in a while, I don’t mind. They keep you on your toes. But if you have to do a bunch in a row and fail one and have to start from the very beginning again, they can get annoying. I thought Resident Evil 4 and Shenmue used them well. I’m guessing most of you guys have PS3s already, but I’m sure there are a few of you that don’t have one just yet. I wanted to let you guys know that you could win a PS3 or Xbox 360 (your choice) in this Stacker 2 contest going on. All you have to do is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt, which is surprisingly easier than it sounds. There are less than 180 entrants as of now, so you have to like your chances. Check out the details here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview Along with the system, you could win a copy of Rise of the Argonauts, ten t-shirts with your design on it, and a year’s supply of 6 Hour Power energy shots (which are great for gaming sessions). Let me know if you enter and I’ll vote for your designs. Shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions, too. Darrin, I hope you don’t mind me commenting on the site. If you are interested in writing a post about the contest on PS3Blog.net to let more readers know about how they can win a PS3, please send me an e-mail. Thanks.

Trigga_Tybalt Says: August 21st, 2008 at 5:26 pm spam?! back on topic.. like john said QTEs are defo annoying as you can’t watch what’s happening. i liked heavy rain’s approach by placing them in the action instead of along the bottom like in fahrenheit (euro title of the 1st game). i remember not knowing what the hell was going on during that final fight thanks to that. i’m remaining skeptical of heavy rain though as i fahrenheit had its moments but overall it wasn’t amazing. lets hope there’s no kid sneaking sections…
