"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."
I'm a hardcore racing genre fan and boy is it going to be hard waiting for this to hit the app store now. Forza 3 was just announced and can't wait to hear of any news on Gran Turismo 5.
I think that randomdude meant customizing the engines, decals, rims, windows, height, etc. Does anybody know this?
Can't wait, hopefully it has a ton of playability. I'd love to play another game with the overall depth/length like that of Zenonia
Oh my goodness, graphics look amazing and 36 cars is almost unheard of. NFS had only 20, and that took me maybe 5-6 hours to beat. Way to go Firemint! Can't wait for this one to come out.
You said theres a manual option, does that mean that there will be a clutch/stick shift where you have to shift gears? Or how will it work? I want some sort of challenge when driving, not just clicking one button and having it shift gears.
I think he meant manual acceleration meaning one option with a gas pedal you have to press or one option without a gas pedal where the computer auto accelrates for you. But come to think of it it would be cool to have a manual transmission option...
If you mean car customization like in NFS, then no, you can't do any of that. There would be no licensed car either. If you read through the whole previous Real Racing thread, you'd realize it's a sim racer, not arcade, so everything is technical and 'boring' for casual gamers like me. But if you're into Grand Turismo, then this game might suit you.
I hope the tilt controls are solid. I haven't been impressed with any of the iphone racing games so far. They either lack gas and brake pedals or have really bad tilt controls. Will there be a lite version?
You know considering how much TA has helped pump this game, especially with the delay post, I'm a little disappointed they weren't more deliberate about putting news here first. I'll still buy it happily, just a random thought.
YES!!!!! I hope it is out soon! I'm so excited. (Crosses Fingers for cheap intro price like Flight Control)
Still no news of a price point yet? I'll buy if it's no more than $4.99. Any higher, especially $9.99, then I can't justify not waiting for a price drop.
I have a feeling it would be more than $4.99, but I hope it's not $9.99 as it doesn't have any licensed cars - and their reason was to lower the price? At $9.99, NFS has 20 licensed cars.
Yeah, but they are a bigger company. They are rich enough to have licensed cars and still keep the price low. If Firemint had 20 licensed cars, I think they would be charging over $9.99 for the game.
