Crysis 2 writer Richard Morgan may think it was “the perfect example” of interactive storytelling, but Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli thinks Uncharted 2 didn’t do “justice to the medium of game”.

Speaking with VG247’s Patrick Garratt at the formal reveal of the first-person shooter last week in New York, Yerli says BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 did a better job then the Naughty Dog actioner in terms of developing storytelling in games.
“It’s another style, and I don’t want to talk down that game,” he said. “It’s really great, and that’s an alternative style, but I don’t think they do justice to the medium of game. I think Mass Effect 2 is doing a better job to the game market, although it’s a completely different style to us, rather than Uncharted 2 or Modern Warfare, for that matter.”

Yerli added that Crysis 2’s narrative style will be similar in a way to recent movie, Avatar.
“Our style is still going to be fast-paced and intense, but our style is going to be about the world, much more like Avatar with Pandora,” he said.
“The story, the line was not interesting and we will have an interesting line, but the world was awesome. That’s what I’m much more interested in: depicting a great world.”

Talking at the Crysis 2 premiere in New York, Cervat Yerli illustrated the difference between PC gamers and console gamers with the following example:

"I simplified it for our guys by saying there is one difference between the PC gamer and console gamer. I said the single most important difference is a PC gamer forgives you for about a minute. A console gamer gives you two seconds. It sucks or it fails and you're either the top or a flop. They don't respect any value you put into your development, either it works or it doesn't work."
He goes on to explain how this pressure has ultimately made Crysis 2 a better game

Can they just STFU?

god these guys like talkin and talkin and talkin just make your game and pray your story is atleast half decent cause i would love too see them top uncharted 2 story or mass effect oh ya and AVATAR sucked so so much of my penis

Not going to win friends on this site with talk like this...that's for sure.

Did he say that console gamers are less forgiving than PC gamers?

Lol @ fail up some posts.

I'm a PC gamer and a Console gamer.

You can be sure that either way, and just like the first Crysis did, once the graphical impressivity wears out (a few minutes in) I'll give them the respect that they deserve.  For showing such arrogance to gamers and members of the industry, you can be sure I won't give them a single chance to prove themselves. 

I'll give them a few moments of scrutiny, then I'll come to the realisation that just like the first game: "Oh! it has very pretty graphics... yet no substance."

Playing internet fanboys like fiddles and getting instant name recognition: Priceless.

For the mainstream awareness you need advertising, for the internet you just need fanboys.

I always thought it was the other way around. PC gamers get very loud, very fast, when things aren't up to standards. While console gamers usually dont give a crap as long as there's a forum near by where they can write lists of exclusives.

Does he mean that Uncharted 2 plays more like a movie than advancing video game narratives? If so, that's not a slight and it makes sense (from what I've heard; haven't had a chance to play ... yet).

I basically was just trying to start shit :)  Helping the OP's intentions.
