EA (v5.5.0)

 * MCLAREN AND BATHURST UPDATE

Supercars and a Super Series come together in a jam-packed update!


 * 2018 McLaren 720S Coupe

When you replace a staple of your roster, you best throw everything at it. The 720S stands as the successor to the McLaren 650S, a car that has enjoyed a beloved production run since 2014, and whose DNA flows through the McLaren 675LT. Boasting an improved 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the McLaren 720S pushes 710bhp to bring the car from 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds. Every nook and cranny has been meticulously shaped to make this the most aerodynamic Super Series to date. It just so happens to be its sexiest as well. The McLaren 720S is earnable in-game in the Relentless Special Event starting September 10 (AEST).


 * 2017 Supercars Championship Season

The Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 is a thousand-kilometer dash over 161 laps around Mount Panorama Circuit. The track is well known for its vast vertical difference of 174 meters between its highest, and lowest point, and on non-racing days, Mount Panorama is open to the public to drive on. Race drivers travel 6.213km per lap, and reach average speeds of 178km/h. Although additional marques have since returned to the Supercars Championship, for nearly two decades this annual event focused exclusively on one of the country's most fierce and enduring rivalries - Holden vs Ford. To a large extent, it still is.

2017 marks the introduction of the Gen2 Supercar, a dramatic evolution of the previous regulation vehicles. Traditionally, entrants were restricted to 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8s (hence being previously known as V8 Supercars). Instead, teams are now able to use turbocharged four- or six-cylinder engines, housed in two-door coupé body styles. Despite these new rules, 2017 remains absent of any such cars. We will only see new cars built to these regulations in 2018.


 * 2015 McLaren P1 GTR

The 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans was famous for its 17 hours of continuous rain buffeting the track. That, and the fact that debut marquee, McLaren, placed first, third, four, and fifth with the McLaren F1 GTR. 20 years later, the manufacturer resurrected the GTR label and released a fitting track-built tribute in the form of the McLaren P1 GTR. Available only to P1 owners, the combined investment in purchasing both these cars would set you back a minimum of GB£2.77 million. Not that there are any left in the showroom. The McLaren P1 GTR is earnable in-game in the Mastare P1 GTR Championship starting September 22 (AEST).


 * Community Challenges:

We're introducing a new twist on the Limited-Timed Special Events, dubbed Community Challenges. In this new series, racers will continue to compete to earn cars and other in-game rewards, however bonus rewards will be unlocked based on completing racing-related goals as a community. These goals are tiered, and rewards are based on overall completion of milestones. For our first Community Challenge, racers will need to complete 90 million laps within the open period of the Maplethorpe Veyron Community Challenge, starting October 14 (AEST).


 * Flashback Events:

This update, we're offering Flashback Events for the 2015 Porsche Cayman GT4, 2010, Renault Dezir Concept, and the 2015 Hennessey Venom GT. If you're missing any of these cars, now is the perfect opportunity to grow your garage and add some high-powered weapons!

It's a showstopper of an update. Head in-game and starting racing now!

EA (v5.3.0)
30-May-2017

Classic rides. Classic race. Real Racing returns to Le Mans for its fourth year!

2017 Porsche 911 RSR

This is the first Porsche 911 to break with over half a century of design, and deliver a 4.0-liter flat-six sitting in front of the rear axle. Why the shift away from the previous engine layout and its traction advantage? Shifting the engine upwards vastly improves weight distribution, and it frees up space for that mighty diffuser you see jutting out of its rear. On top of beautiful stability and steering, the 2017 RSR should also see less disproportionate tyre wear. These changes might just be enough to bring Porsche and the 911 badge back to the top of LMGTE-PRO.

1991 Mazda 787B

Imagine the sense of glee and superiority every European constructor felt in 1991 when they not only saw, but heard the Mazda 787B and its high-pitched whirring synonymous with rotaries. Now imagine those same Europeans' horror as that incomparable wail proceeded to beat them at the very sport they both launched and dominated for nearly a century. The Mazda 787B presented a truly unique competitor in its design. The 26B Wankel rotary engine, longitudinally mid-mounted, pushed a maximum output of 690 hp on race day via four rotors spinning in unison, matching the top speeds of over 200 mph its piston engine competitors kept hitting. The 1991 Mazda 787B remains the only non-piston engine car and the only Japanese constructor to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

2013 Caterham Seven 620R LTS

Named after its town of origin, Caterham are responsible for some of the purest driving experiences around, courtesy of the legendary Colin Chapman, and his mantra, “Simplify, then add lightness”. Based off of the Lotus Seven, which Caterham acquired from Chapman in 1973, the Seven 620R improves on its renowned sibling, the R500, with a 0-60mph time of 2.79 seconds, top speed of 155mph, and power-to-weight ratio of 568bhp-per-tonne. EVO Magazine gave the 620R its coveted track car of the year when it debuted in 2013. We'd tend to agree.

1988 Jaguar XJR-9

It had been seven years since a constructor other than Porsche had claimed pole position at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

It had been even longer since Jaguar had won (31 years to be precise). Fueled by a herculean partnership between Tom Walkinshaw Racing and essentially the entirety of Jaguar, the XJR-9 felt like the perfect embodiment of this monumental investment and lust for victory. A gargantuan 6.5-liter V12 engine and a magnificently constructed cage capable of containing such a beast gave Jaguar the fighting chance to dethrone the Le Mans incumbents. When it finally did, the racecar had covered 5,332.97 kilometers over 24 hours. That distance wouldn't be outdone until 2010.

1987 Porsche 962C

Chances are that if you searched through the winners of any international motorsport championship in the 1980s you'll find the Porsche 962 nestled comfortably in there. Partly - no, exactly - the reason why this is considered to one of the greatest racecars ever. What made the Porsche 962C so special, however, was the constructor's resilience and ability to adapt to recent rule changes and remain a dominant force worldwide. After the Porsche 956 was banned due to driver safety concerns, the 962 emerged longer, and redesigned to fit the driver behind the front axle center line. The '87 962 specifically housed a brand new twin-turbo, 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine, along with other various modifications by engineering luminary, Norbert Singer, eager to dominate its rivals. It did, leading Porsche to a historic 7-year winning streak at the 24 Hours of Le Man.

Flashback Events

A fresh batch of Flashback Events are available for you to conquer in Real Racing 3. Remember, these special events are able to be started at any time during the update, however once begun, no other Flashback Event may be started until the active one is finished. For the Le Mans 2017 update, racers will be able to earn in-game the 2014 Ferrari F14T, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Z51, and the 1985 Lamborghini Countach.

2014 Koenigsegg One:1

It's time to experience the dream equation. Named after it's astounding power-to-weight ratio, 1360hp matched to 1360kg, the Koenigsegg One:1 represents the very best that the Swedish manufacturer has to offer. In their words, it's “The world's first Megacar.” The 2014 Koenigsegg One:1 will be earnable in-game during the One on 1 Special Event starting April 18 (AEST).

1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R Group A (BNR32)

After conquering Japanese Touring Car Championship, the R32 GT-R was poised to take on the world. Nissan had already broken previous lap records at Nordschleife, and with its sights set on the Australian Touring Car Championship, Godzilla was born. The “monster from Japan” crushed the incumbent competitors. On the Nissan Skyline's 60th anniversary, it's your turn to discover the car that changed racing forever. The 1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R Group A will be earnable in-game during the Unleash the Beast special event starting May 8 (AEST).

1971 Nissan Skyline Hardtop 2000 GT-R (KPGC10)

The car that marked the debut of the GT-R badge and sent shockwaves through the automotive manufacturing industry still felt to this day. The Nissan Skyline - Or Hakosuka to fans worldwide - immediately began scoring victories against competitors from the east to west, and set precedent for what was to become a lineage of one of the most beloved lines of cars ever produced. The 1971 Nissan Skyline Hardtop 2000 GT-R will be earnable in-game during the Unleash the Beast special event starting May 8 (AEST).

2015 NISSAN GT-R LM

2015 marked Nissan's return to prototype racing after its last show in 1999. The GT-R LM differentiated from its rivals through its front mid-engine layout, rather than a more common rear mid-engine layout. The LMP1-H car competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans but was retired at the end of 2015. The 2015 Nissan GT-R LM will be earnable in-game during the Quanticfire GTR LM Championship starting May 22 (AEST).

2015 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R

The Hommage R is a re-imagining and tribute to one of BMW's most celebrated cars: The 1975 3.0 CSL. Created as part of the 40th anniversary of the original car's success on-track, the Hommage R matches design innovation with the red and two-tone blue of BMW's Motorsport team to deliver an unforgettable concept car. The 2015 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R will be earnable in-game during the Mastare Hommage R Championship starting April 30 (AEST).

Game Update: Daytona 500 2017

February 20, 2017

'''Real Racing™ 3 returns to Daytona International Speedway ® to celebrate the 59th running of the DAYTONA 500. Buckle up for some high speed action in The Great American Race ®!'''

The Daytona 500

Fresh faces guide Real Racing 3's return to the DAYTONA 500. Partnering in-game with renowned NASCAR driver, Danica Patrick, racers will get to experience an intimate look at the road to the thrilling event. To accompany the event, Real Racing 3 will be on-site at Daytona International Speedway creating a series of exclusive videos to feature both in-game and on our social media channels. Racing legend Dario Franchitti will be with us at the DAYTONA 500 to lend his expertise and charisma in what will be a jam-packed weekend of excitement! The 2017 2017 Ford Fusion race car will be earnable in-game during the DAYTONA: The Great American Race special event, starting February 21 (AEDT). The 2017 Chevrolet SS race car will be earnable in-game during the Maplethorpe Jimmie Johnson Championship limited-time series starting March 26 (AEDT).

2016 Lamborghini Centenario

Built to celebrate Ferruccio Lamborghini's 100th birthday, the 2016 Lamborghini Centenario is the supercar worthy of a centennial tribute. The bull leaps from 0-100 in 2.7 seconds and outputs 770hp thanks to a tuned 6.5-liter V12 engine. Not to sit idly on 53 years of engineering, the Centenario debuts the new Lamborghini rear-wheel steering system to improve agility and steering. Of course, only 40 of these tributes were produced and sold to the most committed devotees, so good luck driving one in real life. The 2016 Lamborghini Centenario will be earnable in-game during the Lamborghini's Legacy special event, starting March 12 (AEDT).

1995 McLaren F1 GTR

It's hard to imagine that on top of extensive bodywork changes, the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR actually had to be restricted to 600hp in order to compete in the '95 24 Hours of Le Mans. Reduced weight, and aerodynamic adjustments helped compensate for the neutering, leading to a faster, nimbler supercar that would lead McLaren to a historic victory in France. What was once a road-first supercar, became an on-track legend - a testament to the British manufacturer's engineering prowess. The 1995 McLaren F1 GTR will be earnable for in-game during the Flag Racing F1 GTR Championship starting March 5 (AEDT).

The new car will be available to earn in the Ford Shelby GT350R R3-Spec Championship starting February 4 (AEDT).

EA (v5.0.0)

 * EA news

The next evolution of Real Racing 3 is here. Formula E, the newest exciting motorsport debuts in this update with a brand-new track, and three teams from the FIA Formula E Championship!


 * Hong Kong Central Harbourfront Circuit:

This track first debuted at the Hong Kong ePrix in October 2016. Staged alongside the captivating Central Harbourfront of Hong Kong, this street circuit is situated among some of the city's iconic landmarks such as Victoria Harbour, The HK Observation Wheel, and the International Finance Center. The track is just under two kilometers long, featuring ten turns, including two tight hairpins, and a 555-meter straight. Streets circuits such as the Hong Kong Circuit present unique challenges to racers. Unlike purpose-built tracks, they feature uneven roads, differing grip levels, tight lines, and makeshift barriers, increasing the driving difficulty. One false move and your car doesn't go off-track; it goes into a wall.


 * Formula E Cars:

The Formula E car is an open-wheel racing car whose chassis is comprised of carbon fiber and aluminium. The distinct high-pitched hum emanating from these cars is thanks to the 28kWh lithium-ion battery-powered 200kW engine sitting at the rear of the body. Combine those with the rest of the car components and you have a maximum weight of 800kg (driver included). FIA stipulates that while the powertrain designers can differ from team to team, chassis and batteries must remain the same. Racers can earn up to three exclusive Formula E cars in-game throughout the update from marquees; ABT Schaeffler, NexEV TCR, and Renault e dams.


 * Formula E Gameplay

Since Formula E cars operate exclusively via electric power, a vital component of the motorsport is strategic battery management. As drivers accelerate, the onboard battery is drained of energy, and only while coasting/braking does the battery begin to regenerate lost energy. To be a truly competitive Formula E driver, racers will need to smartly adapt their racing style to ensure that they maintain enough charge to complete each event. If the battery runs out of charge, it's game over as soon as the car comes to a complete stop without crossing the finish line!


 * 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT3

The inaugural GT3-variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT, complete with its guttural 6.2-liter V8 engine, is now earnable in-game. The relatively young Mercedes model enjoys the luxury of being only the second sports cars developed exclusively by Mercedes-AMG. Driving all its power through the rear wheels, the GT3 can still hold itself to the road with impressive prowess. This is accomplished in part via an almost absolute carbon-fiber construction, and one intimidatingly aerodynamic body kit. In short - it will stand toe-to-toe with any 911 or Italian tourer.


 * Chevrolet Corvette C7.R

The endurance racing powerhouse returns for an encore Limited-Timed Special Event. If you missed out on earning the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R in-game back in June, now is your opportunity to retake the challenge, and experience one of the most fearsome, and burly American supercars running the WEC circuits right now.

Take to the streets of Hong Kong, and get ready for the future of racing! Available now!

Real Racing 3 Bathurst Update (v4.6.2)
EA

Game Update: Bathurst

September 22, 2016

Real Racing 3 travels to Bathurst, Australia! Jump in the driver’s seat of your favorite supercars and take part in what fans and followers have dubbed, “The Great Race”.

Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000

Nearing its 60th year, the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 is a thousand-kilometer dash over 161 laps around Mount Panorama Circuit. The track is well known for its vast vertical difference of 174 meters between its highest, and lowest point, and on non-racing days, Mount Panorama is open to the public to drive on. Race drivers travel 6.213km per lap, and reach average speeds of 178km/h. Although additional marques have since returned to the V8 Supercars, for nearly two decades this annual event focused exclusively on one of the country's most fierce and enduring rivalries - Holden vs Ford. To a large extent, it still is. Car enthusiasts growing up in Australia were thrust in the direction of either one manufacturer or the other, and the thought of defecting was blasphemy. Holden have claimed 30 victories over the years, while Ford have 20.

Competing teams' vehicles are regulated to the same technical specifications. They each house 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engines pulling 635+ bhp, all powered through the rear wheels. 0-100kph is marked at 3.6 seconds, and top speed is 298kph (185mph). Minimum vehicle weight including driver is 1410kg. The cars are also electronically monitored and managed to ensure equality among competitors.

Racers will be able to experience the thrill and “true-blue” spirit of the event in-game alongside real-world event. The toughest decision you as the racer have to make is who to stand by. Do you choose the 2016 Holden Commodore VF or the 2016 Ford Falcom FG X? Race well enough, and you'll be able to earn both cars in-game.

2016 Ferrari F12 TDF

For a car that accelerates to 200kph faster than most cars reach half that speed, the Ferrari F12 TDF improves upon its gargantuan predecessor in almost every capacity. 110kg lighter, faster gearing, and new rear-wheel steering system make this one of the most belligerent cars on the road. The Ferrari F12 TDF is earnable in-game via the Tour Auto Speciale event.

2016 Nissan Altima

Nissan last held pole position in 1992, and since their return to Mount Panorama, the Japanese manufacturer looks starkly different from two decades ago. Today, the Nissan Altima stands toe-to-toe with the other marques, and is the reward for successfully completing Season 9 of The Gauntlet.

Real Racing Originals and Other Additions

As part of our journey to become the one-stop shop for all things motorsports, we're introducing a new series of exclusive in-game video content called Real Racing Originals. From getting an insider’s look at car manufacturers, to behind-the-scenes action at Firemonkeys, Real Racing Originals aim to expand on our offerings as a video game, and provide unique coverage of the thing we all love - cars that go really, really fast.

Missed out on the 2016 Koenigsegg Regera at the start of the year? We're giving racers the special opportunity to earn in-game the single-speed monster, and experience a truly unique driving experience within Real Racing. Players who already own the car will be awarded with a bounty of in-game gold. The 2014 Audi R8 V10 Spyder will also be earnable in-game, alongside an exclusive livery as part of the second Samsung limited-timed special event.

Live the Bathurst experience, and settle the debate!

UPDATE FEB 16 3:28 PM AEDT: This issue will be addressed via a patch which will be downloaded when the game is launched.

This patch may take some time to propagate to everyone automatically, however some players may be able to download this patch manually by pressing the "Download all Assets" button in the Settings menu. After downloading the fix, the game will close.

UPDATE FEB 17 4:38PM: We are aware that some players may have difficulty receiving the fix; the Team are working on a solution for this issue. Please note the above steps to manually download the patch will still work for other players.

UPDATE FEB 17 4:38PM: We are aware that this notification may continue to display during regular gameplay. While the Team continue to work on a solution, please ensure you continue to tap "No Thanks".

UPDATE FEB 16 3:41PM AEDT: This issue is now resolved; your Time will now display on your WTTT Hub in-game.

Some racers may encounter difficult events in the NASCAR Talent Tour. These events will not prevent Racers from completing their Sponsorship Collection in this Series. The Team will be addressing this shortly.

The future of Real Racing
Firemonkeys posted: September 4, 2015

Where’s Real Racing 3 headed? Our senior producer Lu is here to tell you all about it.

Hey Racers!

I wanted to give you some exciting news about what’s coming down the line from the team at Firemonkeys for Real Racing.

Put simply, the goal for Real Racing is to become the one-stop-shop for all things Motorsports. We’re working to bring more genres of racing to the game, and bring fans of motorsports from all around the world together to enjoy an authentic racing experience, based around the biggest events in all the racing genres.

We started this last year with Le Mans, which became our first year-on-year event with the recent 2015 update. We’re going to continue doing things like that to bring these real world events from different genres to you every year.

On that note, I’m really excited that we’ve brought NASCAR to Real Racing. It’s perfect for us in the context of bringing not only real-life events to the game, but also continuing to expand to new genres of racing. This time we’ve recreated the Federated Auto Parts 400, which is just the beginning.

To make the best NASCAR experience as possible, we’ve not only added Richmond International Raceway to the game, we also brought you the top four race teams and fifteen of the real drivers. These are some of the biggest names in NASCAR; you’re racing alongside Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Danica Patrick, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and many more.

Like we did with Le Mans earlier this year, you can choose which of the four race teams you want to be a part of, and have a chance to win the hero car for that team. Also, replay the Federated Auto Parts 400 event to collect cars for all four of the featured NASCAR teams in the game.

This content is awesome, but to really bring out the characteristics of this racing genre from a gameplay perspective we had to tweak the game itself. For the first time ever, you’re racing against forty two other cars on the grid. We’ve never had so many, so it’s really exciting to play when you’re weaving your way through, which is part of the NASCAR experience.

To compliment this we also added some key gameplay features like drafting, giving you the ability to slingshot around other cars, and negotiating through some really tight packs to fight for your position. We adjusted some of the vehicle physics to get the feeling of the bumping and jostling like you see in NASCAR, which is a lot of fun. We’re keen to hear some feedback of what you think about the new physics and gameplay features, so let us know on Facebook or Twitter.

We know you’ll love this experience, and we’re very excited to add NASCAR to the growing portfolio of genres that we have for you in Real Racing.

What’s Ahead for Real Racing 3

supercars

Hey Racers,

We know some of you are wondering why Real-Time Multiplayer is App Store and Game Center exclusive, so we thought we’d fill you in.

Real Racing 3 is nearly a year old now, and it’s here to stay. The year ahead is an exciting one, with a long road map of where we want the game to go. One of those places is Real-Time Multiplayer. We know you have all wanted it, and we’ve been wanting it too!

A quality multiplayer experience isn’t a straightforward thing to create. In terms of both design and technology, there are a lot of factors that contribute to creating fun and balanced online gameplay.

As such, we made the decision to release Real-Time Multiplayer on the App Store and Game Center first as it allows us to start delivering on our long-term plans faster than we could otherwise. We want this to be as awesome as possible, so we want to hear from you!

When the update releases, go and play. Play with friends and strangers. Challenge yourself or simply show off. Tell us what you don’t enjoy and what you love. Let us know how we can make this the best multiplayer racing experience, on mobile or any platform!

The future is exciting, and we’re looking forward to hearing everything you have to say!

Experience the pinnacle of Italian engineering with hot new vehicles from the world’s most desired and cutting edge manufacturer: Ferrari.

• New Cars – the Enzo Ferrari joins the family of extreme performance cars, along with the 458 Spider and 599 GTO

• Weekly Time Trial Tournaments – climb to the top of global leaderboards and win huge R$ and Gold prizes!

• Race Replays – relive your victory with full cinematic cameras and playback controls

• 4 New Event Series – dominate the competition in over 100 new events

=Real Racing 3 Ferrari Update (v1.4)= Firemonkeys posted: October 16, 2013

The latest update, which features Ferrari, also includes improvements to the way that Time Trials work. We’re tightening up regulations so that vying for the top spot on the leaderboard is even more gratifying, and we’ve added a new way to compare and compete.

Off-track disqualification is one of the biggest changes in this update: if all four wheels of your vehicle go off the track during a Time Trial, your time for that attempt will be considered invalid and the result will not be submitted to the leaderboard.

Additionally, this update will introduce seasonal leaderboards: Time Trial leaderboards will now only show the results submitted for the current update, and the competition will start anew for each update. If you’ve completed a Series to 100% prior to this reset and you race in the new Time Trials to bring the Series back up to 100% complete, you will collect another small Series completion bonus!

Ghost Challenges have also been included, which allow you to download and race against any player’s Time Trial ghost lap. This is a great opportunity to learn from the best or start a rivalry with Friends. Look for the “VS” button next to each entry on the leaderboard to access this feature.

We hope you enjoy these changes.

The Real Racing 3 team

Crew
Firemonkeys posted: (Exact date unknown - around Ferrari Update (1.4) - October 2013) From version 1.4 of Real Racing 3, there are 3 different Crew members that you can utilise to give you bonuses when you race:

Manager – doubles R$ race winnings if you win the event. Agent – doubles Fame if you win the event. Auto Engineer – no change in Servicing condition of the vehicle that you're currently using if you win the event. Crew members will sporadically be available to give you a bonus at no charge. The game will let you know when you have a Crew member free to help you out! Winning events attracts the attention of the Crew and makes them offer their services at no charge more frequently.

If a Crew member is not free when you want to utilise their bonus, you can pay Gold to hire them immediately.

Crew members will also level up as your Garage Value increases. Your Garage Value is defined by the combined cost of the cars you own and upgrades that are applied to them.

Leveling up a Crew member allows you to utilise their bonus in the corresponding section of the career. E.g. If your Manager is Amateur and you want to use them in an event that occurs in the Pro section of the career (as indicated by the labels running along the top of the main menu), you will have to increase your Garage Value until the Manager reaches Pro level. The amount you have to increase your Garage Value to level the Crew member up is indicated on the Crew hire popup.

Did you tune in today to Apple’s press conference? Are you excited for the new iPhone? We are too – especially after seeing our own Real Racing 3 on stage to demonstrate the graphic capabilities of the device.

We gave a first look of Real Racing 3 back at EA’s Summer Showcase event and impressed media and fans when we told them the high-quality graphics in our trailer video below was actual gameplay footage. Today you got to see what it will look like on the iPhone 5, which is the first phone that has the hardware to accurately display the game in all its glory – from the incredibly detailed cars, to track models, to the dynamic reflections. Now the cars in Real Racing 3 look like the real deal with chrome alloys, carbon fiber, leather interiors, and even metallic and pearlescent paint. We’ve also announced an all-new rear view mirror that will give players important cues about their competitors, as well as time shifted multiplayer, a brand new feature that leverages Game Center iOS 6 challenges.

As Rob Murray, Executive Producer at Firemonkeys said: “Apple technology continues to evolve the mobile games experience, and we believe games like Real Racing 3 best highlight what consumers have to look forward to with these advancements. The game’s dynamic reflections, sharp track shadows and other beautifully detailed assets will take full advantage of the iPhone 5’s new visual capabilities to deliver a stunning mobile gaming experience that rivals many console games.”
