Support NeoGAF

[Mascot]

I really can't get past the cut and paste job the map is. Seriously was excited for it been in Australia until I saw that.

They could of easily did Victoria, a bit of SA and a bit of ACT. Had a varity of landscape, a huge map and still do the the Yarra Valley and Great Ocean Road. Heck they could of done other things like the Snowy moutains as well (heck even unclose the service road in the map and have a hill climb to the tallest mountain in Australia).

You're seriously not excited by FH3's location because artistic licence had to be taken with compressing the real-life map of Australia? The locales shown thus far look pretty fucking good to me, and snowy locations look tailor made for an expansion somewhere down the line. 1:1 scaling of the map would have been utterly daft, involving lots of boring traversing.

This isn't The Cobber Crew.

 

[Captain Bluey]

I doubt that it is the whole map. At least, the bit I saw.

 

[ManeKast]

Byron faces North! Preorder cancelled! ;-)

why would they make a game set in all the worst states tho?

Exactly!

And no doubt, poor old Tassie will be forgotten again.

More new gameplay. Looks amazing.

wow, looks so good. I hear chvrches back in the radio mix as well.

I just found NukemDukem has a video of the same thing, but his has better audio if you guys want to rewatch.

[twinturbo2]

Zoom and enhance... I can make out the old Surfers Paradise CART circuit from this.

Please don't disappoint me, guys. And add a Champ Car or two through DLC, please.

 

[kipsta]

Is Melbourne in it? I want to visit my neighborhood.

 

[desu]

I really hope they implement 21:9 support on windows before the game comes out.

 

[soundscream]

Are people really complaining that the accuracy of the map?

Hint, Colorado and Italy/France were not realistically represented in Horizon 1 & 2. You guys are lucky they chose Australia, when we all wanted Japan!

 

[Banderdash]

Fuck driving through Surfers... I've never had a good traffic day in that place.

Yep, and it's blowing my mind.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Beautiful!!! Must buy!! Loved Horizon 2, as my favorite racing game ever, and this one looks amazing!!! Can't wait!

 

[jizzlobber]

I get they can't create the whole country, but it would've been nice to have the locations in the correct order... Byron under the 12 apostles is completely arse about.

But I guess only Aussies would even notice.

Still hyped as fuck

Not really. But its fun to point out the major inaccuracies. So nice they are doing an Aussie themed Forza. Hopefully they pick the most interesting bits.

Yooooooo, I hear Clearest Blue by CHVRCHES in the background. Hell fucking yes, Horizon music NEVER disappoints.

 

[Fusebox]

So no Opera House or Harbour Bridge. How will people even know it's Australia...

 

[Theorry]

Gameplay.

[FunkyDealer]

Looking good! Best thing at MS presser for me.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Snakes, Spiders and Kangaroos.

 

[GlamFM]

Everybody driving in 3rd person. What is wrong with them!?

 

[chicko1983]

no adelaide street circuit, no buy...

 

[Bgamer90]

We also have some gameplay of the entirely E3 demo if you guys want to check it out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECRTqOxOTks

Incredible. I can not wait to play this.

 

[Tntnico]

Ok, so I'm a huge fan of Forza Horizon musics, and Horizon 3 makes no exeption. And I'm already at work !

I'm creating a Spotify playlist with all the music I can find from the game in the trailer, b-roll or gameplay videos.
I'll create the same playlist on Groove Music later.

Here the Spotify link :

Please, tell me if you spot new music

 

[LostDonkey]

Is there going to be a demo available? Specifically on PC?

 

[Grassy]

Wow...it looks amazing, it's set in Australia, and features my hometown of Byron Bay. Too fucking good, cannot wait.

 

[Bluforce]

There are any news about the steering wheels compatible on PC?

 

[T.O.P]

Is there going to be a demo available? Specifically on PC?

1&2 had it so i guess is very likely on both X1 and PC

 

[Type_Raver]

Based on Australia, got me interested!
Even better, its on PC too.

 

[JayWood2010]

Who is covering this Wicked Game song?

Ursine Vulpine ft Annaca - Wicked Game

Song credits should be in game trailers.

This was one of the best showings at E3 in my opinion. Dont usually get excited about racing game trailers, but this looks great.

 

[watdaeff4]

I was going to skip this as I already had FH2 and Forza 6 (as well as Driveclub+Season pass), but after seeing that.....yeah, just trying to hold back on not hitting the digital pre-order button.

 

[soundscream]

Forzavista is completely pointless while being completely necessary at the same time IMO.

 

[ekim]

100 days... meeeeh

 

[Mascot]

Everybody driving in 3rd person. What is wrong with them!?

For this type of game? Not a problem at all. I think I played FH exclusively in chase cam (like I do all arcade racers), but use cockpit view for sims.

 

[Leflus]

100 days... meeeeh

Not that long to wait, really. The summer is going to breeze by way too fast. : /

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

Man, this had better support the T300RS on PC.

 

[RyudBoy]

I wonder if FH3 has a dynamic weather system like the previous game.

 

[shandy706]

Forzavista is completely pointless while being completely necessary at the same time IMO.

Oh, it's absolutely necessary....and so beautiful.

Bumper cam, always.

 

[OfTheOverflow]

This may be my first Forza. As a Motorstorm fan (rip motar stawm) and a main PC gamer, I finally got something to scratch that itch maybe. I'll keep my eye on it.

Same, adore MotorStorm and hope it comes back one day. Definitely interested in this, we don't get many games set in Australia! Hope there's some nods to Mad Max in there somewhere haha

Is that someone honking at 3m15s?

 

[cyber_ninja]

This game looks dope. I gotta get it.

 

[OrangeOak]

looks really nice but I already can't stop thinking of Horizon 4 on Scorpio.

 

[Mascot]

looks really nice but I already can't stop thinking of Horizon 4 on Scorpio.

Nah, Horizon 6 on Scorpio 2 is what I'm waiting for. I've heard it'll be awesome.

 

[derFeef]

Or FH3 on PC, mhhh...!

 

[Opus Angelorum]

It does.

 

[soundscream]

Sounds like a horn.

 

[Yagharek]

Needs all 150km of straight line Nullarbor Plain.

 

[CrayToes]

There looks to be some decent car modification. Any news on that? Always thought NFS style customisation was the next logical step for the series.

 

[soundscream]

Nah, Horizon 6 on Scorpio 2 is what I'm waiting for. I've heard it'll be awesome.

By that time GT 7 will be out.......right?:

A good 6 year window.
