Insomniac Games responds to the QTE criticism in Spider-Man for PS4

One of the major concerns of players in the future game of Spider-Man on PlayStation 4 is the apparent presence of an excessive number of Quick Time Events.

Dude enough, QTEs are to engage a player in a cinematic moment. I can't imagine the number of complaints from people who would be frustrated from failing these events through actual gameplay.

And typically QTEs are the buttons for the actual moves like triangle shooting webs, x to jump, etc.

It's like the second anyone sees an on-screen prompt they lose their damn mind. Is Shenmue 3 going to get the same complaints?

uptownsoul2512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

Yeah but you know how the internet is. If they only see the cinematic scenes that have QTE's then they think thats all the game has.

And dont forget that there are some people who are upset that the game wont come to their favorite platform & they're trying to push the false idea that SpiderManPS4 will be nothing but a liner, QTE fest

darthv722512d ago

This spiderman looks cool. More mature and faster action. QTE dont bother me.

2512d ago
XanderZane2512d ago

Well Ryse & The Order 1886 all got the same complaints as well. I'm glad you'll be able to free roam throughout the city. That should be very cool.

MegamanXXX2512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

Does that mean you're going to buy a PS4 to play Spider-Man?

XanderZane2512d ago

@MegamanXXX
I already have a PS4. Yes, I will definitely get Spiderman. QTE doesn't bother me that must, as long as the story is good and the gameplay is fun. I loved Heavy Rain and thought Ryse was ok for what it was.

AspiringProGenji2512d ago

That was because both did QTE very wrong. Many games do QTE great so that is why you don't hear much complains, Like GoW. Spiderman will be another good example of QTE done right

Razzer2512d ago

But this QTE looks more like Batman than either of those games.

morganfell2512d ago

I love when people criticize The Order but you do not hear a peep about every Telltale game ever made.

Angeljuice2512d ago

The QTE's are only a segway to key story elements. They won't be prominent at all, only at cinematic moments.

Shenmue Had QTEs and that game was awesome.

XanderZane2512d ago

Exactly. It has to be done right for it to be good. It wasn't great in Ryse or The Order 1886, but I was fine with it in Heavy Rain. Apparently in Spiderman there will be regular action gameplay and not just QTE, so it should be very good if done right. I have faith in Insomniac. They did an awesome job on Sunset Overdrive and Ratchet & Clank.

LamerTamer2512d ago

Yeah but Shenmue was good in spite of the QTEs but because of them.

Testfire2512d ago

I don't understand the QTE hate. Seriously, whether QTE or not, you're going to be pressing buttons lol. Get over it people.

Omnislashver362512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

I still don't understand the nonsense behind this. How are you supposed to map out buttons for stopping a crane from falling? Grabbing a helicopter? Short answer, it has to be mapped out to buttons.

I mean these Xboxers want us to break out the PlayStation Move wands to accomplish these actions which is ridiculous. It HAS to be mapped out to buttons. Geez. Simple as that.

_-EDMIX-_2512d ago

Agreed.

I don't even know how anyone would be able to do that free hand.

It would be just a bad experience fighting with figuring how what to actually do in real time. Folks make it sound as if having it organic in regards to free hand and open is better, in reality, it makes scenes like that almost impossible to do or figure out how to even play.

Its like GTA, you can many times end a mission by killing your target any which way, ie headshot the bad guy as soon as he gets in the helicopter.

Thus...mission complete.

Sure....you just also missed the bad ass helicopter fight.

(Mind you folks ,even GTA puts on invincibility on vehicles and people to make scenes work)

lelo2play2512d ago

QTEs are crap... and that's that.

trooper_2512d ago

A bunch of whiny people probably want this game to fail in the first place. There wasn't that many qte's.

Knockknock2511d ago

@dantesparda Like how resolution doesn't matter to sony sheep all of a sudden. Don't be a massive bellend.

Knockknock2512d ago

All of a sudden QTEs are amazing, when Ryse had them and it was terrible. Funny how things change.

Angeljuice2512d ago

It's all about their implementation. Heavy Rain relied heavily on QTE's but is an amazing game.

dantesparda2512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

@Knockkncok

Oh you mean how res didnt matter for the last 4 year to MS fanboys, but now suddenly res is the most impressive thing? Dont be a stupid hypocrite.

Bathyj2512d ago

Abraham Lincoln had bone marrow and he was awesome. But when Hitler had it, no one liked him.

It's almost like there were other contributing factors to their respective public perceptions.

Dark_Knightmare22512d ago

You know how childish and dumb seeing this same comment is from fanboys on both sides. Yes we know some fanboys made fun of a Xbox game just like some fanboys made fun of a Sony game who cares forget about it and move on.

the only people complaining are most likely the ones that don't own a ps4.

bluefox7552512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

The way I look at it, a setpiece can be a completely uninteractive cut scene, or it can have QTEs, and make the player feel somewhat connected to the action. I think I'll take the latter. The nature of set pieces are such that they have to take away some of the control from the player in order to make them look flashy, since a lot of it depends on cinematic camera angles and actions that have no other gameplay application outside of the set piece. If you want set pieces, you are either getting a cut scene or a qte section. They add SOME interaction to a scene that would otherwise have no interaction. Frankly, Spiderman seems to be going above and beyond with it's QTEs, it seems like you actually have a lot of control during the set pieces, compared to a story game like Until Dawn or Telltale, it's a night and day difference.

Angeljuice2512d ago

It's sour grapes from Sony haters trying to belittle the game. They want it to suck so bad that they clutch at any straws going.

Soc52512d ago

I get what you're saying but what's with people getting mad at others not liking something. Is it not ok to not like something? If you're ok with QTE's then that's awesome, but if others don't like them what's wrong with that?
That's like telling someone you have to like everything you like and shut up about it because I like it and that's all that matters. It's like telling someone you have to like pickles on your chik fil-a, some people just don't like em, nothing wrong with that. Personally I get extra pickles on mine.

EmperorDalek2512d ago

Uncharted 3 showed how to do these sort of moments. It's disappointing that games still opt for QTEs when simply moving the joystick forward would be much more engaging.

jrshankill2512d ago

Sony Fanboys now defending QTE heavy games.

Dark_Knightmare22512d ago

Like Xbox fanboys criticizing qte heavy game the order. Dude quit crying over what some fanboys did who cares just ignore it and move on. Oh and Spider-Man isn't a qte heavy game they are only there during big,interactive setpieces

it was all the talk of QTE's that killed ryse but after playing it I thought it worked really well and was an amazing game

Insomniac already confirmed that those QTE are optional. If you missed the button, it will continue. It's not like game over and start over.

DevilishSix2512d ago

So its on rails? That's worse.

The_Sage2512d ago

No. You will just miss the smooth move you can pull off and continue on. I don't think your question is honest. Buy a PS4 already.

Razzer2512d ago

Did you even read the tweet? Set-piece moment. This is an action sequence, not the entire game.

uptownsoul2512d ago

Since when has an open world game been on rails???

(I swear, I wish people would at least think before they troll)

trooper_2512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

Do you know what 'on rails' is? Or are you bashing the game?

bluefox7552512d ago

No, they already confirmed there were multiple paths and ways of approaching the insane scene in the demo, so no, it's not on rails.

Dark_Knightmare22512d ago (Edited 2512d ago )

Do you have any idea what on rails means or are you just a troll

It looked like the Arkham games, which seems like a good thing I guess, nothing new there (sometimes that's good)... I need to see more... Silly me, I was expecting this to release with the movie, you know, at the crest of the hype (I bet Insomniac and sony would love that too).
Insomnia are a great fng studio

It is just Xboxers who can't play it because they rather spend 500+ for a box with no games

showtimefolks2512d ago

😁

But they will have God of War in 4K, Spiderman in 4K, days gone in 4k, death stranding in 4k, horizon in 4k, Detroit in 4k, uncharted in 4k, Yakuza in 4k, Nioh in 4k, SOTC remake in 4k

But every game will be in native 4K

Oh wait it's using checker boarding too

Console launch exclusive
It will be available 4.5 minutes behind on Xbox X
It will be associated exclusively with Xbox X but will come to all platforms

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai9h ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga4m ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens524h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

NotoriousWhiz3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Former Deviation Games Devs Have Formed A New Studio At PlayStation To Work On A New IP

Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.

Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!

RaidenBlack17h ago

Likely to continue their FPS project

Cacabunga5h ago

It is not about money it is about talent.. get that talent in and they will take care of you and earn you that money

Eonjay5h ago

I had picked up on this before the Deviation shutdown was announced. It was pointed out that a senior manager of the team had joined PlayStation prior to the close. It was a little suspicious because from the outside in, it appeared had basically poached Deviation's talent.

Reading some of the other comments it seems this is understood to be the case.

In other news it would be wild if Sony winds up announcing a brand new internal studio.

isarai15h ago

That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi

ocelot0714h ago

It is odd one I don't know how business deals work or the law of that kind of stuff. But is it possible Sony reached out and said hey we want you apart of Sony but don't want to purchase you for what ever reason. How about use disband and we will open a studio and hire you guys type of thing. Is that even possible?

isarai14h ago

Maybe it's to void/bypass some contract? I have no clue

VersusDMC10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I guess the deviation team fell apart and didn't deliver good progress on what they pitched (they overhyped themselves when the team was announced)so Sony shut them down. They regrouped with a new team and a new pitch so Sony is giving them another shot.

And this time they are keeping it quiet to keep pressure down on the team. So people aren't asking everyday what deviation(or whatever the new team is called) is doing.

Edit: Also Sony never owned them. They just ended their partnership with them. Deviation decided to close on their own.

outsider162410h ago

Good point. You know, i was thinking of Days Gone too. They pitch an idea to Sony for Days Gone 2 but Sony didnt like it do they scrapped the whole thing. Maybe if a good pitch came by...they'd reconsider it.

isarai9h ago

That makes a bit more sense

lodossrage8h ago

To be fair, Sony didn't shut them down. Devation was independent. Sony pulled funding on the project they were working on. As a result, they couldn't run so Devation decided to close on their own.

roboteye10h ago

If this was MS they'd be gone.

Goodguy0110h ago

Maybe make a smaller game this time?

Elda9h ago

Good for them that they were able to work it out. Hopefully they're developing something interesting.

Rainbowcookie8h ago

I think Sony is thinking long term as a replacement for Call of Duty M$ edition.

lodossrage1h ago

If they can pull off at least 2 more games similar to Helldivers 2 they won't have to worry about that COD deal anymore (my personal opinion, not fact)
