Visitors who walk or drive into the parking lot of Electronic Arts' Los Angeles studio were greeted with a McLaren MP4-12C parked out front. Yep, you were definitely in the right place for the Real Racing 3 preview.
Electronic Arts brought in actor Donald Faison as a special guest to liven up the preview event. As every reporter besides CNET came from an entertainment background, the room was generally more interested in Faison than Real Racing 3.
Electronic Arts knows how to work the entertainment media. In the corner of the conference room was a well-stocked bar, which some in the room took advantage of early on.
EA decided to give the reporters a tour of the office, which was filled with cubicles and had a slightly industrial feel to it. In the middle of the main hallway were a few arcade machines, a foosball table, and lots of candy (which was brought out for the sake of the journalists).
On one wall hung concept and final art for Real Racing 3. One section notably showed off shots from the previous two games to illustrate the graphical difference with the newest iteration.
Video game testers were playing Real Racing 3 on various iOS devices in an effort to root out glitches and any other problems. The game will launch on February 28.
