EA Shows Off Real Racing 3 On iPhone 5

EA gave a live demo of Real Racing 3 today at Apple’s keynote that introduced the new iPhone 5. The game, developed by EA Firemonkeys studio, will be using the brand new 4″ Retina Display and the new, faster processor to push mobile gaming to the limit.

Real Racing 3 is said to be the first one to have “console-like” graphics and a time shifted multiplayer that leverages the new iOS 6 Game Center’s “Challenges” functionality.

“Apple technology continues to evolve the mobile games experience, and we believe games like Real Racing 3 best highlight what consumers have to look forward to with these advancements. The game’s dynamic reflections, sharp track shadows and other beautifully detailed assets will take full advantage of iPhone 5’s new visual capabilities and greater performance to deliver a mobile gaming experience that rivals many console games.” – said Rob Murray, Executive Producer at the EA Firemonkeys studio

EA also aims to optimise all of its upcoming titles for the iPhone 5. It is important to note and very good to hear that EA supports the smartphone market so much as it is known that with the help of EA Mobile, Chillingo and PopCap, the publisher contributed more than 500 games to the iOS games catalog since the birth of the App Store in 2008.
