Firemint's Real Racing to get six-player wi-fi multiplayer update

Better start making more iPhone-owning friends

Firemint's Real Racing to get six-player wi-fi multiplayer update

The local wi-fi multiplayer aspect of Firemint's Real Racing is easily one of the hottest aspects of the game, and we thoroughly enjoyed testing it out just before the game was released.

Speaking to TouchArcade during the closing hours of Apple's WorldWide Developer's Conference, Firemint CEO Rob Murray revealed that an update to Real Racing will soon expand the multiplayer option to include an impressive six players.

The racing game itself is capable of including six on-screen cars at any one time, powered using genetic algorithms to make them more like human players.

Assuming you have enough iPhone-owning friends, the new update should mean it won't require clever artificial intelligence any more, as real life human intelligence (and, what's more fun, human unintelligence) will be queuing up at the starting line.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
