Would you play a QTE DBZ Game?

Post by FoolsGil » Mon Aug 31, 2015 5:51 pm

QTE - Quick Time Event. Pressing a button at the right time or pressing the trigger button in the right area for positive results, the opposite being true if done wrong. Most Well Known QTE: Heavy Rain. Newest QTE: Until Dawn

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_time_event

We all know the story, and we all have our favorite DBZ fighter game, but for something completely different, a QTE Game?

Pros:
-Something completely new.
-A fresh way to play the Story Mode
-A way to bring new people into learning the series without having to learn how to play fighting games.
-Branching storylines-see below

Cons:
-Not a fighting game (I do like fighters, personally)

But the biggest draw to a QTE would be branching storylines. QTEs biggest draw is that the story changes cinematic-ally as you play it. And to keep things fresh, recent DBZ games divulge in what if sagas. Well a QTE plus DBZ could result in the most extensive divergent game in the franchise. Having Goku not release Raditz's tail, or preventing Yamcha from being taken out by a Saibaman or keeping Gohan from saving Dende, or have Raditz murder Goku and Piccolo and Gohan, or have all the Z Fighters killed by Nappa, or having Dodoria catch up to Krillin and Gohan and Vegeta showing up at that time. Just for examples.

Would anyone be interested in seeing this, or not so much?

Something like Asura's Wrath in DBZ style? Aw hell yea, no questions asked, lol. They just need to get good writers, because that's how these games thrive.

Ultimate Tenkaichi came to mind as soon as I saw the title. But no.

Ultimate Tenkaichi and Kinect are effectively QTE games.

They don't count. Try looking up a video on Heavy Rain. That's actual QTE.

If you're talking about something like Asura's Wrath, I would play that. It would be a neat partially-interactive way to go through events from the series. It would probably be something I'd even play more than once! However, it wouldn't be something I'd pay $60 for. It would have to be released at a discount for me to give it a shot.

I did, but I didn't really like Ultimate Tenkaichi. *insert rimshot here*

That's really what it was. It just didn't have branching paths in the story like Heavy Rain.
As far as branching storylines, Xenoverse kinda showed that they wouldn't even fully go with that. Maybe in an original storyline, but it'd always have a clear predetermined ending.

Hell, I'd even buy Asura's Wrath again if they fixed the framerate.

As many people have already said, if it's something like Asura' Wrath, which is fucking awesome, I'd certainly be very interested.
