12 October 2011 63 comments

Real Racing 2

To coincide with the launch of iOS 5, Firemint is pleased to announce the release of the 1.12 update for Real Racing 2 and Real Racing 2 HD. We’ve added some amazing new features for iPhone 4S and iPad 2, including full AirPlay support, Party Play via AirPlay or HDMI and gorgeous visual enhancements. All devices also benefit from memory optimizations and minor bug fixes.

 

 

For full 1.12 update details please refer to the change notes:

New in iOS 5

  • Wireless TV-out through AirPlay for iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Experience Real Racing 2 streamed to your TV in 720p, while your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 displays real-time racing telemetry
  • Party Play – take advantage of split screen local multiplayer for up to 4 players on your HD TV (iPhone 4S or iPad 2 as host), streamed via AirPlay or HDMI connection

Note that Apple TV (with the latest OS) is required for AirPlay features

Enhanced visuals for iPhone 4S and iPad 2

  • Real-time dynamic shadows and specular lighting on car interiors
  • Normal mapping applied to car interiors, select car exteriors and driver arms for improved lighting and detail
  • Enhanced road lighting with normal and specular maps to highlight details that were previously indistinguishable
  • Various additional visual upgrades

Miscellaneous

  • Memory optimizations to minimize crashes
  • Numerous minor improvements and fixes

    For Party play is it only the host that has to be iPhone4S or can the participants be iphone4 (not-S)?

  • John

    Great update! Looking stunning on ipad 2! But what’s up with the 1080p output? The screen on my tv is 90 degrees tilted!

  • FraGiacondo

    hi guys just wondering!

    why a hacienda for the start screen. i mean i understand there are better reflections and refractions , i now there is also a nice fountain animation in the background looks great but what has this to do with racing??
    i think a nice pit stop would be more convincing ;-)

  • FraGiacondo

    also a question

    in the replay there are no labels of the driver anymore  (ip4) ;(((
    is it possible to bring them back? it was one of the things i really liked on the previous update!!!

    I don’t know if this is an aisled case, but when I use the airplay, the game flickers…

  • Angelorum3

    When will we be able to pause, stop, rewind in replay mode?
    Once you touch replay, you have to wacht it till the end

  • FraGiacondo

    ??? no labels at all ???

  • Cparker11

    How do I AirPlay it. I have all the updates and can’t find how to send it my apple tv.

  • Kad37

    I agree with you. The pilot’s menu is called “pitlane”, so it could be more realistic to see a great garage, or in the pitlane (or paddocks…)
    There could have more than one menu, and when we launch the game we could be in a different place each time… That’s could be a great idea.
    For example in a garage with GT cars, and in town with tourism cars at the beginning of the game…!

  • gringoboy70

    You can rewind by pressing the rear-view mirror. Top centre of screen.

  • Rayjacobs

    Same question. Apparently I’m missing something.

  • Simon

    Well i’m running iOS5 on my iPad2 and the Apple TV is running the latest firmware.  I get the sound over the airplay but not the video.

    If i exit the game and run AirVideo or the build in videos they play on the TV fine what am i missing?!

  • Supermanhicks

    How do I start it the AirPlay? I’ve searched and searched.

  • Simon

    Woohoo found it!! -  Just double-click the Home button, swipe all the way to the right, and select AirPlay Mirroring

  • Arvinkong

    Only the top left corner theres a hidden pause button press it during replay

  • Arvinkong

    Is the improved graphics only applies in pit lane? I don’t see significant improvement in racing or I need to reinstall the game

    hi, i have the mirroring working fine to my tv and the telemetry on the ipad screen, but the gameplay is very choppy in particular when there is a lot of action such as a collision, it stops and freezes.

    any help needed

    running ipad 2 ios5, apple tv 2, with llatest update.

    cheers,

    JP.

  • E Ramos1989

    Does iOS 5 update for real racing still maintain 1080p video out with hdmi connection?

  • http://www.firemint.com firemint

    Yes, as long as you’re using an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S.

  • Free 4 Live

    why is there still no private multiplayer just like the one in Real Racing (1)? just to invite game center friends to a private game? still missing this feature since the game has been released!

  • ARvinking

    I am using iPad2:)

  • Jp

    ok i have solved my own problem i think, i was getting choppy gameplay freezing up, on my ipad 2, apple tv, airplay to big tv. if i turn my ipad the other way round it works ok, so am i blocking the air play signal with my hands or something? the way that works for me is with the volume control at the top of the ipad. can it be this simple?

    Installed all the latest updates on iPad 2 and Apple TV. For some reason the app crashes once it gets past the initial movie via AirMirroring.

    Anyone has same issues?

    Try this:

    Close all currently running Apps
    To see which Apps are currently running on your device, quickly press the Home button twice while you’re on your device’s main menu. This will display a multitasking tray at the bottom of the screen with icons representing each App currently running in the background. To close these Apps, hold a finger on one of the icons until they all start to wiggle. When they begin to wiggle, a small (-) symbol will appear on each icon. Tap the (-) symbol on each icon to close all of the currently running Apps.

    Reboot your iDevice
    Hold your device’s power button until a slider appears on screen. Slide the slider to turn off your device, the power down process will take a fairly short amount of time. Once the device is fully turned off, press the power button once more to turn it back on. It will again take a short amount of time to fully turn on.

    Once you’ve closed all Apps and rebooted your iPad, please launch the game. Visit our support site for more help: http://www.firemint.com/support

    Wowee!!!!!!! Awesome!! :)

  • SlamminDonuts

    I’m using this on my iPhone 4S and it freezes.  Anyone else?

  • Hannpro

    I’ve connected to the tv through hdmi but the image on my HDTV is the other way round, can someone tell me why? Please help me ASAP, I want to play this game!

  • Dfordon

    Well, I got the iPhone version on my iPad because it cost less. Does that mean I don’t get party play

  • http://www.firemint.com firemint

    Which model iPad are you using? Party Play races can only be hosted by players using an iPhone 4S or an iPad 2.

  • Net_flyer

    My 4s locks up as well. My 3GS played just fine so hopefully an update will resolve the problem. My guess is that a process on the 4s needs to be disabled to play the game.

    Close all Apps and reboot:

    Close all currently running Apps
    To see which Apps are currently running on your device, quickly press the Home button twice while you’re on your device’s main menu. This will display a multitasking tray at the bottom of the screen with icons representing each App currently running in the background. To close these Apps, hold a finger on one of the icons until they all start to wiggle.

    To use party play do you airplay to an AppleTV or to a Mac? If a Mac do you need AirPlay server for Mac? Is 1.12 forthcoming? My RR2 on Mac is only 1.0.1.

Real Racing 2

The most realistic racing game on iPhone and iPod Touch.
