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

This is fucking goty.

I need confirmation that this is running on xbox one and not on PC, because it is seriously stunning.

Only the guy at the desk with the wheel is playing on PC and I don't think they ever cut to his footage.

Any footage of the BMW M4 is definitely from the woman's perspective which was on Xbox.
 
No exaggeration when l say this is the best MS exclusive.

I bought a BONE for FH2, this looks like it's gonna set the world on fire!!!!
 
I woke up, was expecting greatness from PG and FH3. They blew me away. Unbelievable. Game of the Show so far for me....so many requested features. Thanks Ekim for not spoiling FH3 for me. I hope this game sells a shit load, it deserves it.

One weird thing I noticed..the PC footage looked 30fps.

It'll probably either be the capture or probably capped for the showcase to keep parity between the screens maybe. There's no way the game will be capped to 30 on launch, although I'm sure someone from T10/PG can butt in and confirm.
 
Will we see a radio station to outdo Horizon Pulse from FH2? Also fucking day zero in.

The radio stations for Forza Horizon 3 are more diverse than ever, plus if on the slim chance there's nothing you like you can create your own soundtrack :)

Your Festival, Your Soundtrack
Naturally, music plays a huge role in the Horizon Festival and, as the boss, you’ll have say over that as well. For Forza Horizon 3, we want you to drive to the music you love. We started by adding more radio stations – featuring new music styles like hip hop, heavy rock and punk – alongside Horizon favorite stations like Bass Arena and Horizon Pulse. Forza Horizon 3 will feature stations from labels like Hospital Records, Epitaph Records, and Vagrant Records, as well as the latest music from cutting-edge Australian label Future Classic. That’s more radio stations, covering a broader range of music, than ever before.

But that’s not all. In Forza Horizon 3, we can ensure that you are driving to the music that you love with the brand new Groove Radio station. Groove Radio lets players stream their own personal music collection from the cloud – just add your music to your OneDrive, create a playlist in Groove Music on Windows 10, and Horizon 3 will stream that playlist into your game on Xbox One and Windows 10.


Yes we heard you last time around and included a heavy rock station for Horizon 3!
 
Can't wait to play it. So awesome. Look's totally stunning for an open world racer. Also: Forza Vista in FH3 is great. Never understood why it wasn't in FH2

The Motorsports pack just kills me. Completely outrageous, talk about embracing the fun of it. People talked about how unreal it was for lambos to go off road...

Well, how about circuit built race cars racing on the beach through water now?

I know, it's just all out batshit now but in a good way. Will be funny to leap over sand dunes in a V8 Supercar.

Hey Helios. How is the Head-Of-The-Festival thing done in the campaign? Do we need to use the Blueprint Feature or can we still play the game like in the first titles ala racing from bottom to the top.
 
I'm curious how much urban stuff there is. They definitely showed some, but they showed more rural stuff than urban.
 
I still say that now was the time to add snow to FH. Oh well.

That said, I'll eat a bit of crow - maybe a wing - because it does look to have great environments.

Blueprint is optional, there's still hundreds of pre-created events to choose from. Am really excited to see what the community will come up with.

In case anyone missed it you should check out this article, lots of great info in there - http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/FH3_Announce
 
WOOOO love that its in Australia. Wish they at least showed a city although it did look like there was a quick second of the Gold Coast there (20min drive from my house).

So excited to explore their take on the country. I just hope they they also have the great dividing range which is along the coastline of the east coast. So many great roads to drive on.
 
The best thing is on PC I can just boot up Spotify and use my favourites playlist. Or Eurobeat. Holeeee shiiit.


I'm just running in the nineties, come on baby run to me
We are running in the nineties, is a new way to set me free.
