Crysis 2 Writer Continues: Our Game Surpasses Killzone 2
Uncharted and BioShock get stories right, apparently.
Not content with calling out the storyline of Modern Warfare 2 and Halo, Crysis 2's lead writer Richard Morgan has also taken a pop at certain PlayStation titles, declaring that the upcoming Crytek sequel "surpasses" Killzone 2.
Speaking to NowGamer, Morgan was keen to big up his studio's game in as many ways as possible. "As the lead writer of Crysis 2, they have numerous times showed me Crysis 2. This way i can visualise the scenes and scripts for the story events," he said. "I can tell you now... What I have seen of Crysis 2 in Alpha Stages, Surpasses Killzone 2."
Morgan did take a moment to tip his writing hat to some other games besides Crysis 2 and... Crysis 2 though. Uncharted 2 is a perfect example, he says, of welding "a really good narrative to a really cool shooting game." BioShock is also praised before the man talks about Crysis 2 again.
Then it was back to having a go at games that aren't Crysis 2. Specifically, Batman: Arkham Asylum. "You’re not going to have like in, say, Arkham Asylum, ‘The Joker’,” he said, “and the stupid girl with the big tits. That’s ****ing bullshit, man … that’s comic book. What we’ll do is that we’ll create characters where you generally feel that there’s a weight and a gravitas, a depth to them. You can identify, you can actually see where they’re coming from."
We're glad Morgan understands the difference between a comic book game story and a sci-fi game story at least. More lovely discussion at NowGamer.

F**king Retards Halo MW2 Uncharted 2 Killzone 2 Batman AA Are Fantastic Excellent Games They Are BlockBuster. Crytek Needs To Stop Dissing other Games And Look At There Own F***ED Games. There Storyline is as if a 5year old kid wrote. i bet Crysis 2 will get in the 80s. Im Am Not Ever Giving those Rip Offs a Cent Spread The Word.

Calm down guys AA was a fun in the gameplay sense but did not have the feel that the movie "Dark Knight" had.

I hope you miss out on the game. You can go f**k yourself when you realize that crysis 2 turns out to be better.
You f**ks aren't allowed to play the game.

@Crytek=JOKE I'm sorry, but I just read through your post and I have 2 bones to pick with you. First of all, how can you argue that all these games have fantastic stories? Okay, some of them aren't bad, but they're nothing to go having a period about. The storylines are average to poor, but the gameplay is admittedly good. There's no way you can compare and judge Crysis 2 yet since Morgan is one of the only people who actually knows about the story at the moment, so wait and see.
Second point- you don't need every word to start with a capital letter.
