[quote name='Alpha2']It's a good effect but only when used sparingly, I dont think many movies of completly over used it but games can create the effect easier and they use it far more.
It's a fad, it'll go away as soon as something else comes around to take it's place.[/quote]
I agree sometimes developers/directors forget that a more subtle use of an effect is often much more effective. The bullet time in the first matrix was effective, Matrix Revolutions had quite a few unecessary bullet time scenes. There is one scene in particular where they slow down a bunch of cars going through a tunnel, there seemed to be no reason for the bullet time.
