By Phil - 29 January 2020
Golden Race will be at ICE, launching its latest, ground-breaking version of virtual football with the world premiere of 3D Football at ICE 2020
A spokesperson said: “Golden Race has developed the most successful in the industry. Generating more than 20 million bets on a daily basis, this product is now the most played virtual soccer in the world. Now, having taken a qualitative visual leap forward, this game is the most authentic 3D football simulation that punters can find. Mastering the latest motion capture trends, our expert Visual FX team has developed a full set of proprietary technologies that establish a major precedent in the virtual games industry.”
Among other elements, the game features dynamic events recorded and edited with exceptional filming techniques; real team moves, motion captured from professional soccer players; and varied player models applying proprietary scanning technologies. An authentic football stadium has been recorded with on-site scanning, while the matches are added an extra level of realism with voicer-over from sports commentators and true sports camera angles captured by professional cameramen.
It also keeps its exceptional degree of authenticity with real odds and every major league and tournament in the world represented, while its full live-rendering technology allows instant customisations and a seamless performance with the lowest costs in the market. The outstanding production that brought this game to life sets a big technological precedent, not only in the gaming industry but also in the general world of visual effects.
A whole set of instant sports and games is being added to the company’s online platform, such as 3×3 Basketball with cash-out, Real Fighting, 3D Horse Racing, Dog Racing, Speedway, Motorbikes and Virtual Keno.
3×3 Basketball is the first virtual game in the industry with a cash-out function, and it also offers the option of in-play betting. This new product has been developed in-house by Golden Race, pre-recorded with real players from the US and Europe and set on a configurable background that enables animated logos and ad placements. The gameplay is fast paced and intuitive. Professional commentators add dynamic commentary to the matches, which includes action sequences played by top level European basketball players.
The game offers punters the opportunities to bet before and after the match has started. The attractive experience of in-game betting focuses on the last minute of the match, giving players the possibility to cash out. It also presents attractive alternative markets such as Handicaps (Spread Lines), Total lines and Race to 21.
Through this intuitive platform, the games will be available for punters on demand, while they also include a “skip” feature that allows them to move instantly between the different phases of the games, without having to place a bet or watch the video, providing even more dynamism to the experience.
Instant Real Fighting on demand is the other “star” of the platform. This game, based on the increasingly popular MMA, is a seamless blend of real high definition video action and 3D digital worlds, featuring 16 professional fighters in across fantasy themed fighting stages. The odds are based on real fight action and each fighter has their own unique physical characteristics, style and catchy nickname. Each combat includes up to 5 rounds, a wide variety of popular betting markets and with the possibility to bet on a different result for each round (Victory Combo).
