china here 23:00....I must go to sleep right now.tomorrow is better day....come on......心想事成！！！see you every one...
lol. I was excited to play Real Racing I was doing the same thing as you Hodapp and after waiting a while, it said that the install "could not be verified". hah. I guess they're gonna hand me another provision file for me to install though.. Hm, any impressions though so far?
i have a question, why is everyone saying theyll check this every hour and what not seems as it was submitted 2 days ago. It takes anything from 7-14 days for it to be released from submit. youll be waiting a while yet
Dam, trailers looks good. Although, Firemint, with all the time you spent polishing this I can't believe you forgot something. The stands (crowd stands) are empty. Where's the crowd?! And Hodapp, you are a lucky bastard.
The game was submitted Monday, I doubt we'll see it until early next week. But..you never know..apple is always full of surprises.
I thought the time between submission and release was 3-5 days. Anyway, I'm so freaking pumped for this game... Just watched the new trailer on IGN
it was 3-5 days in february. the time as drastically increased recently which sucks for the really good games
I'm pretty sure the extra time lately for approval is due to the 3.0 compatibility for all apps, so Apple needs to test on both 2.x.x and 3.0, so it takes almost twice as long. Real Racing looks great, hopefully all that extra time polishing results in awesome game
OK guys, Firemint made it pretty clear in their email that they don't want me giving too many specifics, but I can say that this is the most technically impressive game I've ever seen on the iPhone. As far as racing games are concerned, other iPhone racing games barely begin to compare. The cockpit view you see in the trailer is unbelievably immersive, the AI is awesome, the music is great... Real Racing was totally worth the wait.
That is great to hear! Can you say what the framerate is like and how good graphics are in the actual game - not a compressed Youtube vid? Also, how responsive are the controls - do they kick NFS's ass? Can't wait for this one to come out - will buy it the minute it comes out!
Framerate is SOLID on my iPhone 3G, can't even imagine this game on the 2nd Gen iPod Touch. The graphics look great. Real Racing is a technical masterpiece.
Thought about a release date I was looking at the iPhone launch party add that was linked from the warpack grunts thread, and I saw real racing was also advertised as part of that. Now I don't mean to be a pessimist, but I'm assuming that means it won't be out till after the event, which is the 10th. Here's hoping I'm dead wrong, and were all playing in 12 hours or so
You JUST had to rub that in out faces right? I'll gladly TOFTT it looks to good to be true rofl. (I was JKing btw Hodapp)
Really good, the game has this intelligent braking system with a slider that controls it. With the slider all the way up, your driver will downshift in to corners and help you out with braking. The trade off is your times will suffer because with the brake assist system on, your driver will kind of drive grandma style. You can turn it down or off entirely and control the brakes yourself for much better times but it's also much more challenging. It's really cool how the system works, basically depending on the controls you decide on Real Racing can either be a really sweet arcade racer, or a pretty decent Gran Turismo-style driving "simulator" for lack of a better way to put it.
