Forza Horizon 3 (PC/XB1, 2016) Confirmed; Set in Australia

Played the demo 12 times now and totally lovin it!
Game looks just stunning. The foliage pop in ( woods section ) is quite noticeable though.

Dunno how old this demo build is, but is there any chance Playground will fix this?
Playing on launch XboxOne btw.

This is really my only concern, not too bothered if it's not fixed but it'd be nice if it was less jarring. It's even more noticeable in the bit where you go challenge and recruit a drivatar, at the corner just before the finish line the foliage suddenly loads in. Probably exacerbated by the massive straight just before it that you can bomb down at 250mph lol.
 
Can I buy it on amazon.com and activate it on my french account ?

Does anyone know if I can use this code in Canada?

From the Amazon Q&A section for this game DLC code:
Question: It says this product is only available to customers in the u.s. but i can't see why i can't get the digital code?i am not in the u.s.
Answer: You may want to check the Amazon site in the region you are located in.

I really don't know. Tried to google it but didn't find a clear answer.

Does anyone know if DD game codes bought in US work in other countries?

they work everywhere. buy the Amazon code but change your Xbox region to new Zealand when you redeem it. should be available to play earlier
 
Is this the correct way to get the game from the HK store?

  • Buy a 150HKD gift card from play-asia
  • Log in on xbox.com and change region to HK
  • Buy the game and use paypal to pay for the remaining costs
  • Change region
  • ???
  • Profit?

Yeah except use a credit card to pay the rest because PayPal's conversion rate is ass.

Maybe you will need a hk billing adress
 
you cant play recore same time as home xbox on pc, i think the dream is dead dudes
Fuuuuuuuuck!

You're playing the console version on a different account from the PC though, right? With that account only being used for setting the console as its home console?
 
I'll post it here too because it deserves it.

maybe Microsoft could open that up with a way to verify that PC and console are in the same household?? not sure how though without leaving an open door for vpn stuff. A dongle that unlocks the option for a few hours when put into the console and pc one after another, but that would silly somehow...
There definitely seems to be demand and I'm sure microsoft would be ok with it if both accounts are logged in the same household and pay for xbox live.
 
I'm really enjoying this demo. It plays a lot more like Horizon 1, which is very welcomed to me as I didn't enjoy 2 nearly as much.

Preordered.
 
there's like a 3 mb download for Forza Horizon 3 on the store now that just says 'you're too early' after you download it

boy I hope that wasn't the 'preload'

The preload was about a week and a half ago. The game size is around 40GB IIRC.

Edit: 47.3GB, just checked
 
Not on PC.

But hopefully the full PC preload hits tuesday or wednesday

I'm playing on PC, but also have an Xbox One so I preloaded it there. I figure if there's no preload I can replay through the intro and a few early races while the PC downloads and then sync my progress thanks to play anywhere.
 
even worse, cant game share between two pc either. minecraft works but not recore. sad face

Fuck.... Well this is going to get expensive now... I figured I could share between my wife and I at very least. These stupid digital lock/account/whatever crap really screws families, I'm so sick of having to spend a fortune just so I can play a game with my wife and kids. Everyone needs their own system, TV, online subscription, game, dlc etc.

Sigh... I bloody miss splitscreen days

yep using xbox as home console logged in as another account

You can't? I.E you can't set up family view on one PC, let others play the game there, and login to another PC and play it with your own account?

Would it not work if your wife plays on her account on the Xbox (under you master account) but you play on the PC?

Edit: nevermind I read above.
 
Regular Xbox game sharing still works though right? Mostly worried about using it to play Gears with my brother! Will play randomly on PC with that one but stick to MP on XB1 then.

If someone is logged into a different account on the home xbox and you are logged into the account you purchased the game with on the PC it definitely works because i did just this yesterday with Recore to test. If you're logged into the same account on both, it tells you that you've already got it open elsewhere and to close it.

So I buy the game on PC on my account that has the xbox as the home console. then other users on that xbox can play the game too?

Contradicting statements. Hmmm...

The plot thickens!
With contradicting accounts on this, I suppose we won't truly know until Horizon 3 launches. Though I'm tending to believe AssassiN more, since it seems like it should logically work.

Yeah, just a few more days and a lot of people can just test it with the game.

I have just tried it again to make sure and it does indeed work as i've described it with Recore. So theoretically it should with Forza (but maybe a multiplayer title will be different).
 
If you're not seeing your warthog code on your console try logging onto the Xbox app on a PC. mine popped up on my console and disappeared but when I log into the Xbox app on my PC it was there. might be a preview program bug
 
Contacted MS Support last night. I had preordered the Deluxe version but now decided I wanted the Ultimate version. They hooked up a refund immediately.
Now I still prefer the PSN method were you just pay the difference if you change your mind, but still, was a painless process.
Bring on the 23rd.
