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
Firemonkeys posted: December 13, 2013

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!

Real Racing 3 Ferrari Secondo Update (v1.5)
Firemonkeys posted: November 21, 2013

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

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.

Real Racing 3 Featured on Stage at Apple’s Press Conference
Firemonkeys Posted: September 12, 2012

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.

Time shifted multiplayer in action

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.”
