More and more, people are comparing video games to movies. When they do that they're pointing out the similarities between the huge budgets and equally massive amounts of people who spend money on them, leading to Halo making as much on launch day as a major Hollywood blockbuster. Sometimes they're even using the term derisively to refer to action films that take too many cues from video games, or making fun of a game that features so many cut scenes the makers clearly prefer the cinematic form. The key difference between films and games - something producers never seem to realise - is that games are supposed to be interactive. You play them. You don't just watch the story unfold (well, unless you like Let's Plays), you are part of them. You shape them. Sometimes that's through actively participating in the game. Sometimes it can be about as involving as a choose your own adventure novel. That's what quick time events are. When you have to rapidly push a button to stop Lara Croft meeting a grizzly death in the new Tomb Raider game? Quick time event. All those on-screen commands that stopped you getting squashed by rocks, or having your head mauled off by a dog, in Resident Evil 4? Quick time event. Opinion's split on whether it takes too much control from the player, with cool actions happening like a film rather than letting you play them. What's for sure is that there have been a lot of very silly, very strange QTEs over the years, with one especially making waves recently. Here are the ten most ridiculous quick time events in gaming.
