QTEs

[horrorfinatic]

Is it possible to have quick time events like the ones in resident evil 4 with Udk?

[ThePriest909]

As long as you can script it of course you can.

[UnspoiledWalnut]

All you really need to do is disable the general controls and script the sequence. It shouldn't be very hard.

[horrorfinatic]

It would be for me right now.

Good god, why?

[horrorfinatic]

Good god, why?

What's that supposed to mean?

[Lacabra]

Just that QTEs are terrible. :P

[horrorfinatic]

Just that QTEs are terrible. :P

Not all the time. The knife fight in Resident evil 4 is amazing, and heavy rain, one of my favourite games, is made up almost completely of quicktime events. I honestly don't know why people dislike them so much.

[UnspoiledWalnut]

They're pretty annoying. It's basically removing all forms of freedom from the game and saying if you don't push A at exactly the right time you lose.

[horrorfinatic]

Well, if you played heavy rain, you'd see that is not the case. You can miss a hell of a lot of QTEs before you acually died, and it would affect the storyline. Really great game...

I didn't mind it so much in Indigo Prophecy, but it got SO repetitive.... You can change the storyline in other ways, but a lot of times, especially when games use QTE's, it's so binary that most people are going to just choose whatever one looks like it'll be cooler.

[horrorfinatic]

Aparrently Havy rain is an improvement. Haven't played Indigo prphecy yet so who knows. I just know I love heavy rain. So fun..

I live Heavy Rain too, very unique but I could hardly call it a game. More like an interactive movie or choose your own adventure. The only time I haven't minded QTE's in a game was Shemue on the dreamcast way back yonder. It was used sparingly throughout the game but I'd imagine I'd hate it now

[immortius]

QTE are a nice way to add interactivity to what is otherwise a simple interactive story. But sometimes they can be a bit "Whoops I failed the QTE to get my wallet out of my pocket".

[UnspoiledWalnut]

I would prefer that the developers just spend more time to make the game more interactive. I hated Breakdown though because I had to pick everything up and spend like ten seconds looking at it.
