 | Mass Effect movie five or six years away, says producer Aug 30th 2013, 15:11 Avi Arad discusses “big idea“ for upcoming film based on BioWare's RPG; gives updates on Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted movies. 
Gamers holding out for the upcoming Mass Effect movie may want to get comfortable. Producer Avi Arad told Kotaku in a new interview that the film“s release is five or six years away, putting its potential debut at 2018 or 2019. “It“s a big idea, that we, humans, are the least developed, the least trusted, it's an interesting mirror image of our world, we are the aliens now," Arad said of the film“s script. "Love the project, it's getting there, it's been a lot of work; some movies take five, six years before they're ready." Arad, who helped bring comic book heroes Iron Man and Spider-Man to the big-screen, also has a hand in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie. He said he is planning to have dinner with creator Hideo Kojima soon and that the film is in its early stages, not expected to hit theaters for three or more years. “If you go to Metal Gear Solid, it's actually full of storytelling," Arad said, adding that he always looks to operas or the The Bible for storytelling inspiration. "And with Metal Gear, you have Cain and Abel." Arad also addressed the Uncharted movie, which has been a long time coming. He said this film has a great chance to succeed because of its story and relationships between characters, among other things. "I think Uncharted will be very successful. It's a father and son game,“ Arad said. “There are things about it that are interesting. I think the world of antiquities theft, there are many countries in the world that realized they're being robbed and they're trying to recoup these important pieces. Now, the script has a lot of character [and] I think that has a shot at being the first one [to succeed]." Naughty Dog is reportedly very interested in bringing on Superbad writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to work on the Uncharted film. Ultimately, Arad said he understands the task that is in front of him. He acknowledged that adapting games to films has been a challenge thus far for movie studios. Even if a game sells well, it does not mean a film will also be a success, he said. “I think that film studios are bankers and filmmakers are risk takers and somewhere in between we meet on the battlefield," Arad said. "And the moment one video game movie goes through the roof, it's the same thing that I've been through with comic books." Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot

The Riot League of Legends Season 3 European Playoffs has concluded at Gamescom, with Fnatic taking the first seed and $50,000. After some rough losses during Super Week, Fnatic bounced back during the playoffs by only dropping one map the entire weekend, including a sweep of Evil Geniuses and a convincing victory over Sweden“s Lemondogs in the finals. “For me, qualifying for the World Championships was enough,“ Fnatic MidLaner Enrique "xPeke" Cedeño told GameSpot after his team“s victory. “Winning this was a super big bonus.“ “In Season 1 we won [the World Championships], and there were good teams, but nothing compared to now. It would be great to win two now, to prove we are a great team.“ Fnatic, Lemondogs, and Russia“s Gambit Gaming are the three European teams qualified for the World Championships scheduled to be held in October at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Gambit Gaming defeated rivals Evil Geniuses in a close 2-1 series to take the last spot. “I“m really good friends with most of the Evil Geniuses lineup,“ said Gambit team Captain Alexey "Alex Ich" Ichetovkin. “I“m upset that they don“t go, but it“s the game, and it happened. I think I“ve got no more feelings, I“m just a robot. All the emotions were there, I“m just totally exhausted. We will go home for two or three days and then get ready to bootcamp for the world championships.“ The North American Playoffs will begin this weekend at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, with Team SoloMid, Counter Logic Gaming, Curse, Dignitas, Cloud 9 and Vulcun competing for four spots at the World Championships.
