QTEs, or Quick Time Events, are a way for video games to let the player feel like they’re interacting during a mostly cinematic sequence.
A lot of quick-time events can often be tedious interruptions that lead to failure — tap a button too slowly and your sword may go through a wall instead of a boss; miss a button and your character might fail to revive itself. As a refreshing change, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon will see you using QTEs for less perilous tasks… such as gripping a fist.
