You can't tell the difference between hdr and non-hdr or what can't you tell the difference between ... what?
I can't tell the difference between hdr and non hdr. At least not from memory. Played the demo in non hdr now playing the full game in hdr and it looks great but it doesn't really look any different than I remember. Comparing directly would be really handy.

List of new things and features so far in FH3 that I haven't seen in FH2:
Ability to open car doors, hood, trunk, and get inside while in garage (Forza vista iirc)
Ability to create your own customized single player races
Car auction house (buy and sell cars online)
Driving in large bodies of water
Drone mode
Car body kits
"Building" your own festival
Am I missing anything? I feel like I'm going to easily put over 100 hours into this game.

I'm quoting myself, hoping somebody with HDr has discovered some secret setting or something, because I do not notice a big difference as I do with moviesand I'm kinda bugged about it:

I'll add that I turned up HDR brightness to the max, upped my backlight brightness and dynamic brightness and it looks better than it initially did, but I still have the feeling it looks better without HDR.

Not all TVs have the same HDR performance. Especially the cheaper ones fail to deliver a good HDR image.
And not all HDR sources are created equal. Also HDR games on XB1 can't make use of the 10 bit colour gamut, which other HDR source do use. I'd love to test it on a OLED but I don't get to play untill next week

I can tell the difference in Movies. Watching movies for me is a spectacular difference but with THIS game in particular it seems that the HDR mode is not as ... "good"?
For me HDR with this game is looking kinda washed out and I'm really dissappointed.
I'm using, as said above, a Samsung UE55KS9000, which is not a cheap display at all and looks stunning when I watch movies or netflix 4k hdr.
This game is without a doubt my GOTY and GOTG so far. It is just so much fun, especially in Co-op campaign. If I didn't have so much going on this weekend I'd pull an all nighter.
Here are all the screenshots I've taken so far!

HDR is a game changer, but in my experience, not for this game at the moment

Shame to hear that!
That didn't happen for me, started pre-loading Tuesday and paused it at 30GB or so to go to sleep, started up the next day and finished it off. The Windows Store is very inconsistent.
Cant wait to play this game when i get back from overseas.

Holy moly.

I'm using a B6 OLED, the series of TVs which seem to be widely regarded as the best panels you can buy this year from an image quality perspective. Certainly not cheap.
Glad to hear I'm not alone in this. Would like to hear some more comments from people. I'm of the belief if you turn HDR off on the Xbox it has to restart, is that right? So you can't just toggle it. Don't get me wrong the game looks awesome, but people were touting HDR as a bigger gamechanger than 4K and right now with Forza I'm genuinely struggling to tell the difference from memory of what it looks like without HDR.

I honestly think that it may be a bad implementation of HDR in Forza, because the difference is mindblowing to me in movies.
Others said they are quite satisfied with the HDR implementation.
I have a extra Warthog code. First quote gets it.
Huhu!

You can't activate/deactivate HDR on the fly.
You have to disable it via system settings. The game automatically launches in HDR mode if otherwise.
I wish I could be as satisfied. I'm not hating just because, I'm truly disappointed.
The TV switches into it assuming it's enabled on the Xbox. As soon as the application is fired up. If you close the application or open another it switches back into non-hdr mode.

What about the Warthog codes? I still haven't received mine.
Which would be a big disappointment if that's indeed the case. On the other hand this makes me less bothered that the PC version won't include HDR.
You shouldn't be having any problems with HDR content on that TV. Reading more impressions it does sound like the game just doesn't utilize HDR well.

Stuck at work for the next 8 hours before I can sell my soul to this game for the weekend. Can't wait!

Convoys. That's a pretty cool new feature I've just discovered.

So I've been asking this over and over, but could someone tell me how exactly do you unlock the Halo Warthog? I have the ultimate digital edition. Is it in the game?
Impulsor

Applied to my TV, as I said, HDR is spectacular in other content, just not in this game.
And I know it isn't the xbox one s' problem because I watch HDR blu rays with it and they absolutely blow my mind.
So yeah.
ACG's Karak review mentions it. He even tried it in different tv sets it seems.
I am looking forward to a DF analysis, although I won't be able to see any differences

I imagine it will be in the autoshow (place where you buy cars) and listed as free for you to 'buy' then it will be in your garage.
They're still sending them out in waves until Oct. 14th iirc. I got mine only a few hours ago.

how do i get in the gaf club?
I just re listened to it, and it's only a brief touch that it "looks good"?
Apols for a potentially dullard question, but I am not that au fait with HDR, Is it possible to show the differences in HDR and non-HDR in screenshots?

Incredible title OP, loving it. Can't wait to pick this game up when it's more affordable on PC in Aus :L

Only kinda.
Since you are not looking at an HDR screen, you can only "kinda" understand and see the difference.
Ready...

Played a while. Just finished the "Bust A Move" bucket list race. So much fun! Game is amazing.
Playing on a PC, ultra wide 2560x1080. So immersive, LOVE this aspect ratio. Powerful rig, 6700k, GTX 1080, etc. so constant 60fps on ultra settings. Gorgeous game.
Also own an Xbone. Will have to try that version later as well. If I understand things we can pick up our game between systems, so long as we're logged in as the same profile.
I'm gonna have to break down and buy a racing wheel... game is just so good...
