A Quick-time Event (also known as QTE) is an event during gameplay where the player must act in a certain manner to survive, or for the remainder of the game to take place in a certain way. The first instance of a QTE was Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, where the player would be forced to decide on two outcomes within a time limit, which may effect the progression of the story. An example of this is when the player encounters the Nemesis on the bridge,the game then gives options - do you jump into the water or push the pursuer off?
