Very often the case against microtransactions is overstated by zealous traditional gamers. Despite EA’s gung-ho attitude toward in-app purchases, they’ve mostly been inoffensive in practice. Last year’s Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Mass Effect: Infiltrator had totally benign currency systems that could be completely ignored by those who didn’t want to pay to cheat. But every so often, we get a reminder of why there is such hysteria about this business model; a game whose sole purpose is to extract as much cash as possible from players, while leaving them on a hamster wheel of tiny payments that never ends. Real Racing 3 is such a game.
The popular, and authentic, mobile racing game Real Racing 3 will continue to add to its roster of cars and events in January 2022 with the version 10.1 update – and the Lamborghini Huracán STO is the headline act.
The mobile round of the qualification time trials for the McLaren Shadow Project is now open.
Using EA’s Real Racing 3, entrants can take part in one of three time trials in August, September, and October this year.
McLaren has today announced the launch of the McLaren Shadow Project, supported by Logitech G, HTC Vive, Sparco Gaming and Alienware.
Coming off the back of the Mclaren World’s Fastest Gamer competition in 2017, won by Rudy van Buren, who is now simulator test driver for McLaren F1 – McLaren is set to dip their toes back into esports in a big way with their new esports initiative, Shadow Project. This new global sim racing event will feature players across multiple games, including Xbox One title Forza Motorsport, Real Racing 3 on mobile, iRacing and rFactor 2 on the PC.
hell no
Just play a real racing game (No pun intended) instead of a crappy iOS game.
Dam!
So the game has a pretty amazing collision detection and damages (for a mobile game) which is obscenely exploited as a device to extort money from the player. This racer reminded me of the sailing game I've downloaded. The amount of repairs your ship need after each battle is almost the same as the amount of gold you've recovered from the same battle. There's barely enough gold to upgrade the ship unless you take out your credit card to purchase gold that you need to purchase the upgrades.
So I avoided playing games on phone since.
I'm sorry what?!
Ok war gaming are bad but this is ridiculous.
