John Bedford (Modojo): Perhaps this freemium installment in the Real Racing series is simply a sign of the times and shifting attitudes towards free-to-play gaming. Perhaps so many people obtained the previous two games by illicit means that Firemonkey and EA simply felt this was the only sensible option - we all know what happened to Dead Trigger after all.
But maybe - just maybe - they took a look at the news that CSR Racing publisher NaturalMotion was making $12million dollars in revenue each month from its title and thought: "You know what? We'll have some of that." Have no doubt that there is much to be said about the monetization of this highly anticipated game, and we'll be discussing this important topic in-depth later on in the review, but for now let's talk about the game itself.
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.
