Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

If you have ever wanted to ask a question from acclaimed science-fiction author and Crysis 2 lead writer Richard K. Morgan, now is your chance to do so!

inCrysis, Crytek and Electronic Arts have teamed up for a Crysis 2 community interview event where you, dear Crysis fans, are welcomed to ask Richard about Crysis 2 and anything else that you've always wanted to ask him.

Please note that Richard is the story writer for Crysis 2 so, he might not be able to answer all of your questions, especially the ones of technical nature and the like.

We will be taking in your questions for one week starting now and ending Monday 17th, 11AM CET (thread will be closed then).

The full Q&A with answers from Richard will be posted at a later date.

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

I guess that would explain the sudden appearance of the Community leaders here on IC. smile
I too need some time to think about this.

EDIT:


And here i go:

- As a writer, what is your opinion on the plot of Crysis(1)? (I don't expect you to praise the storyline.)

- How did New York influence the story you wrote for Crysis 2? Did you suggest the urban setting to the developers or was it rather an "Okay, it's gonna' be New York, the rest is up to you."  situation?

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

Dear Richard K, Morgan
  Can you take some time to answer these questions sir

How Fast does the Energy Drain when you Have 3 Modes Running at a time, Such as Stealth,Power and Tactical Modes running all at the same time

Can you give us any Examples of the "Upgrading system" for the Nanosuit 2 Cevet yurli has Told us About

The WIP Build you showed Everyone at New York city, is all of that Amazing Music and Action going to be in the Final Version of the Game? To name a few from that WIP build that i really love, Music,Nanosuit 2's New Voice,Fighting the Crynet Troops and battling the aliens.
To put it short is all that amazing stuff you showed us at the New York City Event Going to Be in the Final game?

Do you play as Nomad in Crysis 2? (i hope you do!)

How much better Are Crysis 2's Final Graphics from the Cryengine 3 (Crysis 2) Tech demo you showed us? and will Crysis 2 have Directx 11 Support?

Thank you for you time

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

Hello Mr. Morgan,

1. As the writer of Crysis 2, how do you plan on making the story of Crysis 2 revolve and also evolve around the gameplay created by other Crytek developers?

2. In Crysis 2, while playing, will players be able to create an emotional bond/attachment to other characters in the game?

Thank you very much,

John Niccoli

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

Please don't state things as facts that are not verified. Also, let's concentrate on asking questions rather than answering them, I hope Crytek know which ones to select. I hate when Q&A's include questions the developers don't want to answer and have them saying: "I'm afraid I can't answer that right now."

To Mr. Morgan:

Crysis was intended as a trilogy right from the start which means there probably was a more or less completely written story arc. Did you rework some of the old ideas or did you build a new story from the ground up?

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

Having written the thing, do you think that the storyline has movie potential and if so, why?

What games do you play?

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

@Richard:

-You have publicly criticized various games' storylines; do you feel that this places additional pressure on your work in Crysis 2?

-Do you feel that your writing work for Crysis 2 is realized the way you imagined within the game itself?

-Do you find that you are given adequate creative freedom to craft the story for Crysis 2 in your own way?

-Do you try to avoid cliches in your work for Crysis 2 (such as: "only one man can save the world")?

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

You came in long after Crysis 2 started production.  What was Crytek's modus operandi for story development before you came on board?

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

What techniques are you using to take advantage of the video game as a story telling platform? An overused example would be audio diaries to provide a background to the plot indirectly.

Re: Crysis 2 Community Q&A - Ask Richard Morgan!

Do you find it difficult to write a plot line around something that is largely open ended in what specifically happens?
