Real Racing 3 Guide

Real Racing 3 is the first to be offered as a free download, generating its income via freemium in-app purchases. As the game works on the freemium mobile app model, players can earn two types of currency. The first is the main in-app currency called R$, which will allow you to make repairs to your current vehicle, buy car upgrades, service your car or buy a new set of wheels.The latter three options will force you to wait whilst the relevant service is delivered. You can either wait for the actual time to elapse or choose to spend some of the game’s second currency – the golden helmet coins – to fast-forward the clock. These are not earned through completing races, but rather can be bought for actual money via the in-app Real Racing 3 store.Each car definitely feels like it handles differently too, and car repairs must be made too when necessary. The motion controls are great, with braking, steering and traction control modifiable in-game, allowing players to personalise their driving style. The only way to combat these without spending any dosh is to have several cars on the go, which takes a lot of time-investment and race wins. Real Racing 3 features an ever-expanding roster of officially licensed tracks with 39 circuits at 17 real-world locations, a 43-car grid and over 140 meticulously detailed cars from top manufacturers. The controls feel very smooth, and the game actually behaves a little differently depending on your car's stats.

View the action from a variety of camera angles, tweak the HUD and fine-tune the controls to your personal preference.Real Racing 3 makes its money primarily by tempting impatient gamers. After a few races you have to send your car in for repairs and routine maintenance that ranges from a (realtime) minute to several hours. You can pay up in the form of paid gold coins to skip these wait times. Gold coins are also used to purchase the final upgrade or two for many higher end vehicles. Patient gamers can spend the coins earned through normal play to upgrade their vehicles without any grinding. Real Racing 3 makes extensive use of a new “time shifted multiplayer” system. The game remembers every race players complete, tracking data like car damage and lap times. When you enter an event, the AI’s performance is powered by this human data. You’re essentially racing against a field of 21 other human players who completed that event days or even weeks ago. Clever. After connecting the game with your Facebook or Game Center friends, every race becomes a competition. Your friends begin popping up everywhere The passively social nature of every single event in the game is extremely well done and very compelling.

Real Racing 3 is the award-winning franchise that sets a new standard for mobile racing games.Like most racing titles, you don't have control over the accelerator in your car (in most of the control schemes). When the green light goes on, it's pedal to the metal. Tapping on the screen applies the brake, but that's the only time you need to touch the screen. Steering is handled by the accelerometer, so you can just tilt to turn the wheel. You can turn on more complicated control schemes with an on-screen wheel and manual acceleration, but don't bother.All the events in Real Racing 3 use "time-shifted multiplayer" to fill out the starting line. All the other cars are AI-controlled versions of other real people that have raced that event.

Cash is used to buy upgrades, cars, and repair services. Gold is mostly used to bypass the mandatory wait times. You accumulate a few gold tokens each time you level-up or complete a particularly important challenge, but you have to buy most of them with real money. You would be surprised how often the timer comes up. For instance, not all cars can be used in all series, so you might have to get a new one. If that's the case, get ready to wait for a few minutes while the car is delivered. If you want to upgrade a car before racing, there is another wait for that.
