Crysis 2 Writer: Uncharted 2 Is The "Perfect Example" Of Storytelling

April 14, 2010 in News comments 11

In a recent interview with NowGamer, Crysis 2's award-winning writer, Richard Morgan, talks about the importance of storytelling in video games and why Uncharted 2 is the "perfect example" of good storytelling.

Go to the source for the full interview.

Novelist Richard Morgan returns time and again to Uncharted 2 as proof positive that good storytelling can be found in games, if you but look hard enough...

“There is absolutely no reason why you can’t weld a really good narrative to a really cool shooting game. Uncharted 2 is the perfect example,” he told us “it’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s a compelling story and it’s a very straight-forward gameplay dynamic. Crysis 2, fine, it is fundamentally about firefights – about shooting stuff – but so was BioShock. The whole point about BioShock was the texture that made it.”

      He clearly said things in one sentence like "I wasn't a big fan of MW2 as a story, and i couldn't really connect to the characters in Halo though I really enjoyed Uncharted 2 that was pretty good". These websites seem to be taking these rather innocent opinions that everyone makes and twisting them into something really attacking.

    Uncharted 2 was okay, but it didn't really stick out to me anymore than the first one did. It was a good game, but IMO is waaaaay overrated. I didn't have any desire to play through it again, nor did I enjoy the multiplayer

      Another sane individual. Nice to know you exist. Perhaps there are others? You have given me hope.
