Hey there,
We all know Quick-time-events were around way back in the early 80s(Dragon's Lair...) and then it's usage was diminished for some time after. My earliest recollection of QTE's coming back was in the first Shenmue. I remember reading Gamer's Republic(RIP, such an awesome magazine) where they previewed Shenmue and even they were dismissive about the QTE's and hoped it would be minimal. Since then we have seen games use it extensively, mainly Resident Evil 4/5/6, Heavy Rain etc. Was Shenmue the game that brought back the dreaded QTE's from their slumber? What game/s rekindled QTE's?
