EA Studios Demonstrates Real Racing 3 on iPhone 5

After being teased in recent weeks, EA Studios got a chance to share the stage with Apple at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco to demonstrate the new Real Racing 3 on the powerful iPhone 5.

Senior VP of marketing Phil Schiller followed up his introduction of the iPhone 5 by bringing EA Studios executive producer Rob Murray to the stage to show off the company's new Real Racing 3, which offers "full console quality" on Cupertino's A6-powered handset.

Rear-view mirrors have been included in Real Racing 3 for the first time, and the graphics on display appeared richer and more detailed than previous versions.

Real Racing 3 also takes advantage of time-shifted head-to-head driving through Game Center, allowing players to see competitors head of them.

"Real tracks, real cars, real people you can play against anytime you like," Murray explained at the close of the demo.

Real Racing 3 for iOS is expected by the end of 2012, with a Mac version following close behind.

Slingshot Racing Review

by Andrew Hayward 0Comments

Putting a fresh spin on iOS racers, Slingshot Racing ditches traditional steering and gas controls and simply lets you tap the screen to grapple onto nearby pillars and whip around turns. As such, timing and momentum take center stage in these looping, steampunk-themed environments, with a variety of play modes included across distinctive tracks.

In some stages, you'll simply race against the competition, aiming to pass computer-controlled foes while avoiding bunch-ups on turns. Elsewhere, you'll collect a certain number of bolts on a track to complete the stage, outrun a raging monster vehicle that starts behind the pack, or simply aim to set the top time on a location. Plenty of play modes keep things fairly interesting, though you'll see the same tracks pretty often.
