Quick time events have sort of become a thing of the past at this point. While once they were found in games ubiquitously, now, they’re rarely often used by developers. Of course, every once in a while, we do encounter QTEs in games, which is always something of a blast from the past, especially when they’re properly executed (which, as we all know, is easier said than done with QTEs). In this feature, that’s exactly what we’ll be looking at, as we list out some of our favourite QTEs from recent games (or, you know, relatively recent, at any rate).
KARAOKE (YAKUZA 0)
Anyone who’s spent a decent amount of time with iYakuza 0 (or most other Yakuza games, really) has most likely given its karaoke minigame a go as well. A rhythm game in all but name, these visits to karaoke bars are always a blast. Regardless of which difficulty you pick or even which song you pick, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has a talent for musical timing in QTEs. So much so that we’d almost like to see them make an entire rhythm game.
