Forums - Gaming - Real Racing 3 goes Freemium, out NOW

TomaTito on 12 February 2013

Today we announced Real Racing 3 will be free. And yes, Real Racing 3 was designed from the ground up to be a free to play experience. We are so excited about this game and wanted it to be accessible to everyone so we didn't want there to be any barriers to entry. This accessibility is also what drives the awesome new Time Shifted Multiplayer feature, in that you can play competitive multiplayer with anyone any time, and they don't need to be online with you at the same time.
At launch we have 46 licensed vehicles covering 3 classes, a 22 car grid, real world tracks, 8 varied event types and 900+ events. This means hundreds of hours of gameplay for free making this one of the most expansive games ever on mobile. We plan to continue to add more free and exciting content with every update.

It's coming out on both Android and iOS. So you'll be able to enjoy it!

Not too sure about the Ovi store though.

Toucharcade has a nice explanation of how EA's freemium bullshit will wreck an otherwise incredible mobile game:

I might play the game, if the nauseating dual currencies don't turn my stomach entirely, but EA won't get one red cent from me unless they add a full unlock for $10 feature or some such. What a disappointment.

Freemium timers in a racing game hidden as realistic repairs. Awesome EA!
