Do you ever actually read back through what you have written before hitting "post?" Try it. Even if it doesn't cause you to consider changes, it's only fair if your intention is to subject others here to the same fate.
you know...with all time-based freemium games...a small change in the clock settings or the date is all you need!
I never said a paywall does exist, you simply asked a question where you denied mentioning a paywall previously and called my post ridiculous. And I simply replied with a direct quote from you where you mention having to pay more money to complete the game which sorta follows the definition of a pay wall. Don't push my luck how exactly? What's the purpose of that threatening sentence?
Delete. Rip covered it all himself, any further defense to the game and Rip is futile as I'll end up banned anyway, as is custom. Don't want to push my luck.
-No Game Center multiplayer -Tons of IAP and ads -slow updates like other EA games = franchise ruined.
I did read through the thread up to the current page of comments, which is why I remember the article. Here's the URL: http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/02/12/hands-on-with-real-racing-3s-freemium-future It states that repairing an engine can take up to 3 hours. Which is what I based my analysis on. Like any analysis, more data helps with the accuracy of the report, and what data we have is admittedly bare-bones. It's okay to take it with a grain of salt, it indicates healthy thinking IMHO
Well... I'll just wing it and take the plunge on the 28th. If the pricing model sucks so much ass, the it'll be a franchise ruined for me. But until then, my excitement kinda died a little, so i wont be too excited when i get to play it.
The only idiot here is you, because you still believe the video I was talking about was from an early Mac/PC build when it wasn't. And I wasn't taking about Sanuku or any interior view. I clearly said the game looks massively toned down from the footage in the early teaser video, the same one in the background in the video I linked you to where Rob says its the iPad 3 running. Whereas you kept on stumbling in here like a Tourette's victim with, "Mac and PC build"! "Mac and PC build"! Do keep up and stop twisting the original point when you've been caught out taking shit. I never mentioned Sanuku. I never mentioned the interior view. I simply said the game, in the videos posted yesterday, looks nowhere near as good as the teaser video. The same teaser video which Firemonkey's own man in their own interview says was iPad 3 footage, running "in real time on the A5X". Idiot.
I got 2 sites claiming it launches tonight, and one is pretty credible. "Today, CNET Australia went hands on with Real Racing 3 before tonight's launch on the iPhone and iPad." - CNET "Real Racing 3, the biggest and (for lack of a better word) most console-like racing game for mobile devices launches on the App Store at midnight tonight." - pc.mmgn ??? ----------- NVM it's Australia only.. "Now, it's hitting at midnight in Australia and New Zealand, with the rest of the world having to wait for this groundbreaking Australian creation until 28th February."
Cnet says tonight. OMG if this is right I am gonna pop a gasket!!!!! I know most think its gonna suck and good luck to them, but I will be on this like something that's on something really fast!
"Now, it's hitting at midnight in Australia and New Zealand, with the rest of the world having to wait for this groundbreaking Australian creation until 28th February." Posted it twice for less confusion..
So a sort of beta for NZ and AUS? Maybe they're confused with the fact that those stores will get the game before us on the 28th though...
It'll hit Australia, New Zealand , Russia and South Africa on the 14th. (That's 14th local time so at normal New Zealand release schedule, roughly 3-4 hours time) A four market mass beta to test out the servers. Still the 28th for the rest of the world. I'm sure some one will have the release thread up in 4 hours or so. Edit. Here's a link from cnet Australia just to confirm the reliability if the info. http://m.cnet.com.au/real-racing-3-available-tonight-for-ipad-and-iphone-339343305.htm?redir=1 Edit. The country list has been changed. It's now New Zealand, Australia and Canada. South Africa and Russia removed. Canada added.
Finally some posts that make actual sense. I fully concur with the both of you, gentlemen. Thank you. Yes, it most certainly does. I find your optimistic approach in this thread very welcome and refreshing, sir.
