Why is it delayed?
There are actually numerous reasons, none of them are due to us not wanting to get the game out. The primary reason is that we are not 100% happy with it yet. Every time we evaluate a version of the game that we think might be "the one", we find something that we think is important to improve.
What does this mean for Firemint?
Every day that we delay the release of Firemint Real Racing we spend more money and resources on it (we believe it is the biggest development budget ever for an iPhone game). At the same time we reduce our potential sales. In addition to that we let down people who were expecting the game to be out late April. The temptation to just release it is enormous.
The only way to "win" from delaying a release is to make sure the game is so good that people don't care in the end, and all is forgiven. That remains our focus.
So when will it come out?
There is tremendous pressure on us from many directions to state a release date. All we will say is that this game looks finished, it has looked finished for quite some time. It feels very close now. PreviewsIt’s not the same as shipping the game, but until you can get your hands on Firemint Real Racing, we’ve put together a collection of previews from industry experts who played the game at GDC (21-27 March 2009):

- Russ Fruhstick, UGO: "the best looking racing game on the iPhone by a large margin" (UGO Preview)

- Dale North, Destructoid: "This seems like a real game on a mobile device -- something we can sink our teeth into." (Destructoid Preview)

I think you guys should'vw released it to compete with Need for Speed Undercover (already released) and then update it after.
ReplyDeleteHi guys, i'm really looking forward to Real Racing as I feel EA have failed to deliver with Need for Speed. Their gameplay in my opinion was very disappointing. I can tell you guys are putting in tremendous effort to get the game perfect for us and I for one really appreciate that. Even if it means waiting for it. You are doing a fantastic job and I hope you get the sales you deserve for this fantastic piece of software.

Firemint only mentions the Iphone version Real Racing. Does this mean the N95 version has been abandoned?

There are few items with the Tiffany uk name that may be considered 'affordable', by average people, though Hollywood can not get enough Tiffany bracelets . Perhaps that is the real shine of silver pendants to the Hollywood elite; they may brag about owning the most coveted items in the country, without the worry of being copied by the common man. It may not be that silver bracelets has an impact on Hollywood, but rather the other way around.
