Live Selection

Live selection is a feature in some video games in which the player must perform an action within a cutscene to continue the storyline. Two variants are encountered in the Resident Evil games -
 * The "options system" for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis meant that either option would advance the story, but in a slightly different way in comparison with the other.
 * The "button combination system" instead has the player press a certain button or buttons to keep the character alive to continue the scene.
