While there are things that can be improved on in RR3, any changes that would justify a new application, under the Freemium model, would have to orphan most all of the legacy devices around today.

RR3 Graphics are phenominal... How do you change that? Weather? That requires a huge amount of Graphics processing power. You also have to change the physics engine. Grips need to change, etc.

Better AI? That needs better processing power.

Variable touch? That needs newer devices.

More tracks? More storage.

Longer Tracks? More memory.

So while I am sure that Apple and Samsung would love to have FMEA bring out a Real Racing 4 that requires their latest and greatest, I don't think that FM or EA think that is in their best interest.

They also get stuck with the situation of do they let current players transfer their garages, which means reduced revenue, or do they not and risk the ill will of people who have invested thousands of hours and maybe thousands of dollars building up that inventory.

There is plenty that can be fixed and improved in RR3 without doing any of the things I mentioned above.

The key to if there is ever a Real Racing 4 is the success of GRiD Autosport or lack there of. Right now there are some people who like it, but it sounds rough around the edges, and with them trying to work out how to get it onto Android, it doesn't seem like there will be drastic improvements anytime soon. Also GRiD is a Latest and Greatest device product. Unless you have a late 2016 device, you probably can't run it on iOS, and who knows what will be required for the Android space.
