Line 17:
* [[Trope Maker|Pioneered]] by Sam Peckinpah in films like ''[[The Wild Bunch]]''.
** And [[Trope Codifier|codified]] and then [[
* Another famous usage is in Scorsese's [[Raging Bull]].
* [[Zack Snyder]] <ref>[[Mark Kermode|"Zacksynierzacksynierzacksynier!"]]</ref>
Line 46:
* ''[[Achron]]'': A common tactic, since all players have the capability of modifying the rate they travel through time. This leads to players dropping into slow motion during pitch battles to better micromanage their forces, then jumping into fast forward after the battle is over to catch up to the present again.
* Played with in ''[[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R.]]'' - when the player's "Reflex" ability is activated, everything slows down, but for a half-second after the "reflex" ability is turned off, everything speeds up faster than normal, before "snapping" back to regular speed
Very more obvious with certain [[Videogame Set Piece|Videogame Setpieces]], especially when Alma is involved. There is one case in ''Perseus Mandate'' where [[Player Character|the F.E.A.R. Sergeant]] is suddenly brought in front of a bloodied operation room: a patient is seen walking towards the Sergeant before stopping in front of a glass door that separates the two of them. The patient's movement was [[Under Crank|Undercranked]].
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', [[The Hero|Lightning's]] [[Limit Break|Army of One]] uses this. Because you can still input commands while it's going, it also gives you a huge advantage in terms of speed and timing. Kind of an [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] [[Interface Screw]].
* ''[[Prototype]]'' uses this during charged attacks and targeting, as well as when you start getting your ass kicked. It's actually quite helpful in both cases.
