QTE's are cool (Heavy Rain related)

But why make an entire game based on them? Heavy rain looks solid, no denying that, but am I just pressing buttons the whole time? Does it get anymore interactive than that? Sure the possibilities are endlessduring the storywhen you hit/miss a button, but I could see the over use of quick time events being this game's downfall.

Thoughts?

Wow, people really like their QTE's.....

Play Farenheit, that's pretty much what you're getting.clembo1990

As much as we know about the game there is still much we dont know, one thing is for sure it wont be for everyone. Kinda like caviar its gonna a be a refined taste.

Well Publishers like to show the big moments of action and suspense to better promote their game. So that's why the load of QTE's. Look at the "club scene" and you'll see why there is a new wave of hype for this game. It's totally immersive.yellerbelly

Wrong, QTEs are not cool, probably one of the worst thing in games imo.Drukter

You misquoted me. yellerbelly

Because I didn't say what you quoted me as saying. yellerbelly

Well it's pretty much like a normal game...controller input followed by immediate respone to players action. unlike other games that utilise QTE's where pressing one button results in an entire action sequence. It also allows the action to be more cinematic as keeping track of the entire scene isn't necessary all the time.

Not to forget the sequence where the FBI agent was locked in the car heading to the crusher...how could you do that without QTE or assigning 20 million different controller configs for the different circumstances in the game?

imo for the story-driven style of Heavy Rain the QTE's are a perfect fit, obviously its not to everyone's taste and it won't work in every game but nothing ever is/does.
