Last week Firemint announced Real Racing 2, the sequel to Real Racing [$4.99 / Lite / HD], without a single detail other than what the logo looks like. They’re sneaking out one more detail this morning: Real Racing 2 will feature real licensed cars.
So far the two cars they’ve confirmed as being in the game are the two found in the above image. On the right is the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette C6.R and on the left is the 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe Race Car. No release dates, pricing, or any other details are available at this time. I have a feeling Firemint is going to tease us for a while with these little snippets of information, and I’m OK with that.
It’s great news that they’re actually including real cars this time around, I just hope they’re also including my laundry list of dream features turning Real Racing 2 in to something similar to an iOS version of Gran Turismo.
I want this game now!!
I actually hope they're NOT turning this into an iOS version of Gran Turismo. I can't see myself waiting five years for this. Happy they're including real cars this time. Lets just hope we don't get twenty different variations of two vehicles, though.
Oh I meant an iOS version of Gran Turismo in regards to the awesome career mode and upgradability of all the vehicles... Not the 12 year development cycle. :)
ZOMGWTFBBQ!
i hope this time there are more cars than 1 with 10 different motors. this was so lame
I get the feeling that Firemint with the cash made from RR and Flight Control are one indie dev that could pull off a decent GT type experience.
Please make it so.... we need a solid long-lived racing game .... they've already got the physics and handling pretty sweet so a bit more polish and depth and they've got a classic on their hands.
any idea when this will be avaliable ??
The sequel to the best racing game on iOS. One word: INSTABUY!
one word "Geek"
Oh wow, the car on the right is a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette C6.R and the car on the left is a 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe Race Car! That screenshot is now 500% more fun than RR1 screenshots!
I'm sure it will be awesome, and I'm mostly just giving people a hard time, but sometimes I don't understand sim racing fans. The lack of licensed cars was never a shortcoming, IMO, and if anything meant more money for Firemint.
Real world tracks, too, pleeze! Laguna Seca, Nürburgring, Suzuka, ...
I wonder how much licensing these real cars cost!
I should add that VW likely paid a nice royalty to Firemint to put out the GTI free/lite version of RR1.
3rd gen device and OpenGL 2.0 only? Real Racing was one of the early games on the App Store and even now still holds up in image quality. I can't wait to see wait they can do by developing a game built from the ground up targetting newer devices and capabilities.
