LATEST iPHONE NEWS
iPhone Exclusive: Firemint Real Racing details revealed
By Spanner Spencer 01 June 2009
Game Name: Real Racing | Developer: Firemint | Format: iPhone | Genre: 3D, Multiplayer, Racing
We've been following the development of Firemint's Real Racing for quite some time, so it's great new to hear the iPhone's most highly anticipated racing game has finally been submitted to the App Store for approval.

In total Real Racing will feature 36 cars in three classes, with twelve unique tracks and five different game modes. This includes a career mode with 57 events to complete as you race off against six opponents, with either local wi-fi multiplayer or online league play.

The Real Racing tracks will feature a stack of different environments, from forests to seaside circuits and burning deserts, with 3D sound effects and ten licensed music tracks from a variety of indie artists for you to pump the pedal to (or you can choose from your own music tracks).

Firemint's also putting the spectacular Cloudcell feature to work in Real Racing, which went down a storm in Fast & Furious, allowing players to upload replays of their races directly to YouTube.

The developer is particularly proud of the game's intuitive control system (using either accelerometer or touchscreen), which incorporates accurate surface variations such as asphalt, grass, gravel and even rumble strips that affect the car's responsiveness and handling.

We already heard about the game's use of genetic algorithms to add human-like qualities to the CPU-controlled drivers, and a host of additional user settings - like first or third person perspectives, adjustable handling and sensitivity, and manual or automatic acceleration - will help you to tweak Real Racing into the driving game you want it to be.

Real Racing won the IGF Mobile's Technical Achievement award and Excellence in Connectivity at the IMGA, so there's good reason to get your engines revving over this one.

Firemint has just submitted Real Racing to Apple, so it hopefully won't be long before it crashes through the App Store barrier. We'll let you know the moment it goes live.

This truly looks los perros cojones of racing games. I can't wait.

And what with Star Defense, Rolando 2, X2 Football 2009 & Rugby Nations 09 coming soon, I can see it'll be a particularly unproductive summer for me.

I believe price on this is $4.99 and up. I hope this racer pans out. While I understood that NFS was an arcade racer with auto acceleration, I still missed having an accelerator and brake.

Yeah I'm not too crazy about the "and up" part lol. Thios game does look ultra sweet though. I just wish I knew a set intro price so I can know exactly how much credit to save. I just caved in and bought Need for Speed hours before this game was submitted, I hope it was worth it Ill play it later.
