Wow that is crazy. Very cool stuff but I guess I wish it was dynamic. I guess if the variety is high enough it would never really be an issue.

Yeah that's my concern with this method. Though as you say, if there's enough footage it shouldn't really matter.

I wonder if there are higher res versions on PC too?!

I heard it was a 12k camera.

Yeah, you are right. Short article here.

Cross buy
Cross save
Cross play
Crossroads

You know this will be used as a blurb now right?

 

[ghibli99]

Those timelapses, mah gah... I think I'll just sleep until the 27th. You lucky UE bastards.

 

[SmartWaffles]

You got nothing left to do after finishing the 4 races right?

 

[cheezcake]

This game is so fucking fun, Horizon remains this gens arcade racing king

 

[GlamFM]

I've been really debating...should I get it digitally so I can play on my PC, or do I get it physically so I can play it on XBONE and get the steelcase...fuck.

No debate really.

Go digital and get an extra version FOR FREE.
(You know that, right?)

Go physical and get some extra plastic garbage.

 

[RAIDEN1]

What is a bit frustrating is that the demo doesn't allow you to continue where you left off- so once you've had one session and quit the game, you have to go through it all again, (albeit not a bad thing I guess) instead of just going straight into "explore" mode..

The demo's fantastic. Amazing setting. Love all the little effects, grass moving, going through pools of water, etc.

Game feels better/smoother/more polished than FH2

My only complaint (from the reported soundtrack) is the two rock/indie stations aren't as good as Horizon XS, but the Block Party station is amazing. Haven't listened to everything yet.

Also the voice acting work once

Spoiler

you pick your name is extremely well done. It feels like a natural sentence when they mention you by name instead of "Hi, (insert-Name), welcome to the Horizon Festival!"

That's a really cool piece of immersion.

 

[jfoul]

Just downloaded the demo on Xbox one. I can't start the game after launching it. I'm pressing A to start and it doesn't recognize the button press. It just keeps popping the intro.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

You're too good, Sunhi!

Gives me inspiration to stick with it and try and get my videos that wee bit better

 

[shandy706]

The Horizon 3 equivalent of walking down the street avoiding the cracks between pavement stones...Nice

Hey Helios. My daughter loves the series. She's excited she gets a female avatar too, but no version of her name is in the game.

Her name is India. Any chance of that or her nickname "Indi" could make it in at some point??

The Dirt series was doing the spoiler stuff last gen. Agreed, Very clever though.

What magic do you apply to your gifs?

 

[Snkfanatic]

I love Playground games. I want to hug everyone of them that works there. The love and attention to detail in this game is just...wow. The demo itself...wow. Just everything....

I am so glad I have the Ultimate ready to go, have had it ordered for over a month now. I will play the hell out of it on the One then when I get the rest of the parts for my PC I will replay it again on there.

Ok done with my little gush

 

[Strootman]

Yeah I want to know as well.

Haha maybe.
Its a good OT name also haha.

Forza Horizon |OT| Cross buy, Cross play, Cross save, Cross country, Crossroads

 

[rjcc]

There's more content in the demo than some full driving games I've played (3/4 of the NFS series, I'm looking at you)

 

[SomedayTheFire]

God I just want to play this so bad.

 

[PatzCU]

This game has PC-Xbone cross play?

 

[Theorry]

This game has PC-Xbone cross play?

Yes.

 

[LostDonkey]

This game has PC-Xbone cross play?

Sure diddly does!

 

[GlamFM]

This game has PC-Xbone cross play?

It has EVERYTHING

 

[Auto_aim1]

This game looks so good on my 4K tv which doesn't have HDR. What is this magic?

 

[Theorry]

So some people suggested FH4 in Canada?

Canada, South Africa or Asia/Tokyo next.

Canada would be great but there's WAYYYY too many potholes in Montreal lol

 

[cbox]

Toronto could have an avoid the cyclist challenge.

 

[Makikou]

Needs to be in Japan..

 

[GlamFM]

Needs to be in Japan..

Or Africa or Canada

 

[jet1911]

Or Africa or Canada

British Columbia could be cool.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Needs to be in Japan..

This is the only real answer.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Meh. Not interested in Japan. Canada would be cool. A map that straddles the U.S.-Canadian border would be even cooler.

 

[skyfinch]

Cananda would be easy. They only have to model one Tim Hortons buidling then duplicated 200,000 times to make a city block.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I'd love to see a condensed Washington state, something like having Seattle as a main hub but surrounding it with mountains and the amazing roads that come with that.

 

[Mr.Fusion]

Wherever the next game takes place, I just hope it has snow. Canada please.

 

[Strootman]

Japan.

 

[Fabtacular]

Canada, South Africa or Asia/Tokyo next.

I was feeling like it had to be Tokyo, earlier. Dense, exciting urban area on one end. Snowy Mt Fuji hill climbs on the other. Sprawling grasslands between. Just perfect.

But then I started thinking Tokyo really isn't Horizon's thing. First off, it's probably asking too much for them to create a huge detailed urban area and an enormous rural one. Second, Tokyo would be weird without a ton of traffic, and wouldn't feel right.

Maybe the move is to situate it as "Tokyo has blocked off ten square miles of the city for a week for the Horizon festival!" Then they wouldn't have to build out quite so much of the city, and the artificial boundaries could be literally artificial boundaries outside of which there is a richly dense metropolis.

 

[cbox]

Quebec city would be cool but maybe that worked better for pgr4.



edit.

and now i'm depressed about pgr.

Someone mentioned something like this with a pretty easy fix but I can't remember what it was.

You can change the degrees of rotation to 540 or lower to bring some feel to the wheel but then you have an excessively twitchy wheel. The only good fix is to switch to a controller.

 

[Cabbagehead]

Haha maybe.
Its a good OT name also haha.

You're like a cyborg. You were created for this moment in time.

I'm more partial to "Graphics are meh".

 

[TheAdmiester]

I'm more partial to "Graphics are meh".

Maybe it's just me but I don't really like snark in the titles.

I thought a good one would be another comment from one of the threads:

Forza Horizon 3 |OT| I thought there'd be an invisible wall

It sums up the nature of the game perfectly IMO.

 

[EvB]

Haha maybe.

How about

OT Cross Buy, Cross Play, Straight up awesome

Or

Cross Buy, Cross play, QUIT TO DESKTOP

To be fair that is more appropriate for FH2.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Forza Horizon 3 |OT| Playground turns the racing genre upside down

Forza Horizon 3 |OT| An upside down playground

Something like that, it has to have reference to Australia surely.

 

[TheAdmiester]

To be fair that is more appropriate for FH2.

FH2 had more invisible walls than FH3, the wording of the title is more like "I expected that to stop me but it didn't" in reference to the freedom of the game.

 

[Megasoum]

The best OT is still the one with the upside down text.
