Title: Real Racing 3 Free Game - Fancy a Race?
Post by: Wizzo on January 13, 2014, 11:35:24 AM
I've recently started playing Real Racing 3, a free game offered for virtually all phone and tablet formats. The graphics and game play are amazing and its very easy to get hooked. For the best experience I would try to use a tablet.

The great thing about RR3 is that GPWizard members can race each other and you don't even have to be online! How? Because it has a feature called Time Shifted Multiplayer (TSM).

How TSM Works
When you race another player you are competing against their fully interactive time-shifted double, which emulates their performance and skill. Given identical conditions, this time-shifted double will achieve the same race time. However, every race day is different – you decided the outcome. Clever huh?

Download the free game from your app store, add me as a friend (gpwizard) and I'll see you on the track!  :good:

I can only see a way to add Facebook friends, how do I race someone by their username?

Oh actually, I think I know why. You're racing through Game Centre on iOS, are you? I'm more of an android person :P

I bet there is still a way to become friends. What is your user name?

I am PG_Gabriel for anyone else trying the game out!

Ahhh the joys of being woken up this morning by my iPad beeping at me. What's going on? Sleepy eyed I peer at my screen to read the message.

'PG_Gabriel has just beaten your lap time in Real Racing 3'

I can't repeat what I said.  ;)

See you on the track PG.  >:D

It's a great game, any other drivers out there?  :good:

How does Wizzo find the time to play for 11hrs???  No wonder he's clobbering us.   >:( >:(

Quick question Wizzo, are you doing all your own throttle and braking?   :DntKnw:  I have mine on auto.
Title: Re: Real Racing 3 Free Game - Fancy a Race?
Post by: Wizzo on January 16, 2014, 05:41:52 PM
I have auto acceleration on as I can't see the point in having it on manual, plus I would probably crack the screen where I'm pushing to too hard!

Braking I have on Auto-Low which I find needs my interaction on most corners as I get used to it. I found the brakes on Auto-High too restrictive.

Haven't seen Vintly on any races.

On behalf of vintly racing corp we are sorry to report that due to business commitments elsewhere vintly will not be racing in Real Racing  events until there are at least 25 hours in the day and two or more Sundays in any given week.

Actually I'm in Boston trying to produce a job that's gone a bit awry. With any luck I'll find some time to bang in some killer laps and leave you all gawping in amazement. But don't hold your breath.

Oh hang it I'm gonna have a few laps right now.

Vintly, if you need some help at work, it appears Wizzo has nothing to do but play this friggin' game.  I pick it up every few days for a quick go and find he's tromped me in everything.  I have a go back at him and hours later, he's tromped me again. 

Get a job Wizzo!   :P :P :P

(seriously, I love the game, but I think Wizzo has somehow hacked the drag race, nobody in world could have reflexes like that)

Oh wait, I've got an idea.  We're about to get the english translation of our website up.  Click around and find any bugs you can for me.  I know of a couple, but anyone who wants to play around, go ahead and let me know.  Don't do anything silly like make reservations though - that part is live and I'll be sending you an invoice if you don't show up.

I'm not quite finished with 'Activities', so you'll notice some German sprinkled through it.

Any and all suggestions are always welcome, as long as it only costs time and not money (no programming, but I can mess with the text and pictures).

Ha ha I love Real Racing 3! I occasionally get a few minutes to play in the afternoon but this is rare, I normally play for an hour late at night. See you on the track Scott - vroom vroom!  :DD

Love the new look website by the way.  :good: :good:

You have to give me some kind of tip on Melbourne Cups...I cannot for the life of me manage to make it through to top 2.  It's like bumper cars, but by then the leader is gone.   :DntKnw: :DntKnw:

I just bought an Audi R8 V10.  Holy crap, is this thing a rocket!  Well, I had an extra $148k lying around, and heck it was on sale after all!

As Wizzo and PG can attest, I have found a bit of spare time on my hands these last couple of weeks before we opened the hotel again, but I guess I won't be nearly as frequent on the game front for the next 10 months or so...

Very Nice...I will also do up a couple of cars that way once I manage to get a bit of gold...where is PG?  It's summer, so he can't moan about him having no time.
