Aliens: Colonial Marines Will Have Quick Time Events


Quick time event? Really? In a Gamesradar preview of the game, new details emerged to point out that the Gearbox box will use the same mechanic that was first introduced by god of war. And I quote:

When that first confrontation does arrive it’s not the guns-blazing, space marine frag-fest you may expect. Instead the alien bursts out of the shadows and drags you kicking into an air duct where it prepares to cocoon you in slime. You guessed it - this is a Quick Time Event where button presses have to be hit as the event unfolds. It works well, as the directions mimic the action perfectly.


When will developers start moving away from quick time events and do something original? The preview did let out some scintillating new info about the game.

Aliens colonial marines will feature six episodes and keeping team mates alive will be important as different members of your team will have different abilities. It's more of a squad based shooter.

It seems to be an original take on the Aliens lore, except for the quick time event thing. Still no sign of a release date other than a vague late 2009.
