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

Didn't grab me at all. Doesn't look like it's going to be my cup of tea.

Also, doesn't appear to have any dynamic day/night cycles, maybe a couple of specific night courses. And no weather. At. All. No fireworks either. What happened to the Horizon series being the "fun" games? This looks extremely bland.

No offense to anyone who does like it though, the thread is overwhelmingly positive. But it looks like it's skewing more toward the mainline Forza series than being a sim-lite like the first two games in the series.

EDIT: I stand corrected:
there was a lambo getting air on the beach
 
love the new direction Microsoft is taking with games on Win 10. Some games are pretty rough but it's a great start and if FH3 is as optimized as Apex is then I'm all in
 
this is the game that's convinced me to get an Xbox one. loved the first two horizon games on 360 and the fact that this is set in the country where I live has made this into a must play for me. looks like it'll showcase a diverse range of environments in Australia too
 
Oooohhh man! Day One! This looked just absolutely amazing! I knew they wouldn't disappoint. They will continue the trend of being my favorite racing franchise. :D

Both Horizon 1 and 2 were system sellers imho. And Horizon 3 looks to put both of them to shame.

Good times.
 
Does it matter where I buy / preorder forza horizon 3 from in order to be able to play it on both my pc and xbox? In terms of buying it on windows vs xbox. The preorder is up on xbox.com.
 
Hope between blueprint and the crazy looking terrain we can have some crazy stunt circuits.

Loving the new customisation, been crying out for some new ways like custom plates and drivers for ages.

Yes. Digital copy only. I assume you can also get a code from an official retailer.
 
Day 0(a.k.a. pre-order for me) :)

My Xbox One is finally going to start getting more use!

Love the setting in Australia. Such a beautiful country. Sons and I were already talking about going online and just jumping sand dunes with other people!
 
Graphics look like a huge upgrade from FH2 to me. Best looking racer I've seen yet from the footage.

Only thing I'm worried about is if it'll still have the lower LOD cars like Horizon 2 had with the jagged wheel arch edges and stuff. I suppose if worst comes to worst I can mod it out on PC like in Apex.
 
That means you’ll be making the big decisions that affect the festival. From choosing when and where to expand the festival sites, all the way down to the music that is played and the events that take place – the decisions are up to you.

This guy better be back.
 
Probably going to be my GotY and I didn't think I'd be saying that about a racer lol.

Game just looks phenomenal, can't wait to read or see some hands on time.
 
With this whole Windows/Xbox thing does that mean my son can play on the Xbox one and I can play at the same time on my PC? All from one copy?
