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.

...why would you mute the amazing Horizon music selection? you monster!

 

[Makikou]

...why would you mute the amazing Horizon music selection? you monster!

No Eurobeat tho. I do love Horizon OST's, especially the ones handpicked for certain events. So. GOOD.

 

[Long Division]

...why would you mute the amazing Horizon music selection? you monster!

I turn the music off in all Forza games, I wana hear those engines.

 

[ekim]

So will we get some gameplay tomorrow on Xbox daily?

 

[desu]

That looks better than expected, hyped!

Wouldn't surprise me, people can get hands-on with the game on the show floor too on both Xbox One and PC.

60fps PC gameplay right

 

[HeliosT10]

60fps PC gameplay right

I'm sure we've brought a PC capable enough to do a solid 60 yeah

 

[burn.money]

hopefully the game world doesnt feel as dead as Horizon 2 did.... like coming off of the first one 2 just felt so soulless and dead. also like please offroad and onroad events seperate... that like "oh were gonna race hyper cars on the street, just to have the last 1/4 of the race be in the dirt... and you dont have a proper dirt setup."

also bein super nitpicky... but BJ Baldwin doesnt drive for chevy anymore... he drives for toyota... and His purple chrome and black tundra is way better looking than the green and black silverado....

Hey Helios. Amazing trailer. Amazing feature list. You guys at PG/T10 never cease to amaze me. Incredible stuff.

Have you had hands-on with the game? If so, just wondering what your thoughts were on the handling model compared to Forza Horizon 2! Any reply would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and keep up the amazing work.

Yeah I've had hands-on with our E3 demo, obviously this is all subjective but it felt great to me, you can really feel the difference in the various vehicle types in the demo. Hopefully some people at the show will post their feelings on the matter soon.

One of my fave things about the E3 demo might be the fact a CHVRCHES song fires up as soon as you hit the road

 

[skyfinch]

Insane graphics and dynamic weather and time of day. I'm blown away by this game already.

 

[Shaneus]

Irony of this game being that big name music festivals here in Australia are basically completely dead. Still, saw some cool locations and it looks like we'll finally be able to drive along the great ocean road!

Getting on PC, no doubt.

Laneway is pretty big isn't it?

 

[Black Mantis]

FH3 + my own music = Gaming heaven.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Loved the first two and will most definitely play this one

Will update the Thread tomorrow with some gameplay!

 

[BeforeU]

This looks so good. I mean SOOO good. Day fucking zero

 

[MauroNL]

My most anticipated game and possibly game of the show! Can't wait! Roll on September!

@Helios: any confirmation if we'll get a demo before release like with horizon 2?

Nothing to reveal on that front right now Mauro.

 

[twinturbo2]

So it's the Outback? Not the Gold Coast?

I'm still getting this day one, but I wanted the old Surfers Paradise CART circuit.

 

[ScientificPizza]

i played well over 100 hours of 2 without even being that interested in the setting. this looks excellent

 

[LlamaJohnson]

I do not like racing games historically. Like, never buy them. Ever.

I'm buying this game. I might go buy Horizon 2 as well after reading up on what exactly goes into these games.

 

[darkinstinct]

Preordered the Ultimate Edition.

I will too. In three months. I won't let any company get my money three months in advance,

 

[AsakuraZ]

Hoping I can use my steering wheel for the PC. Need a good reason to bring it out of the closet.

Either way, Day One! The Horizon series just hits all my buttons everytime and this game looks to be no exception.

Any chance for some unedited B-roll footage? Maybe in heavy rain?

 

[Cfer]

Poured 120+ hours into FH2 so I just can't wait for this.

I'm from the Yarra Valley... Some amazing roads out that way. LOOKS GOOD!

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Yo Helios, are the water physics in from F6?

If so, are they dynamic. As in puddles form when it rains?

Thanks!

Spoiler

also, leak the map!

 

[terrible]

Nothing to reveal on that front right now Mauro.

Any news on what wheels will be supported on PC? Will it just be the same wheels that are compatible with the Xbox One or will the compatibility be expanded?

 

[Synth]

Irony of this game being that big name music festivals here in Australia are basically completely dead!

And that's why you're tasked with running the festival and attracting attention in this one.

 

[Klocker]

Auction house is back!? and stream from cloud own playlists... awesome... can not wait

 

[Little Mons†er]

Nothing to reveal on that front right now Mauro.

Leak the map!!!!

Spoiler

jk, please don't get in trouble

 

[rokkerkory]

Can you guys imagine FH on scorpio? yeeesh!

 

[TMWNN35]

Could not be more pumped and I'm in all the way including dlc but if they wanted to make it a more accurate representation of being an enthusiast driving in Australia there was some stuff missing.

• Speed cameras every 5 km tagging you for 3km over the limit. Every 2km on roads known to be popular with vehicle enthusiasts.
• Roads full of massive holes.
• 75% of the cars in the game being illegal to drive on Aussies roads.
• The remaining 25% being pulled over and hit with defect notices.
• Police setting up at the exit to meets and defecting everyone when they leave.
• mid 90's Commodores rolling with stock steelies on the rear wheels.

You've seen our first expansion DLC haven't you.... :/

This. Music in racing games is for casuals.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[MouldyK]

Just like the real place, the Australia of Forza Horizon 3 is absolutely massive – in fact, it’s is twice as big as Forza Horizon 2’s map.

I always think the Horizon Maps are quite small (probably from playing The Crew and other giant maps sometimes)...but it's always nice how they keep getting bigger!

 

[Cptkrush]

You've seen our first expansion DLC haven't you.... :/

Do you know if the team at Playground reached out to the guys at Mighty Car Mods at all for this? Seems like it'd be right up their alley to have some sort of involvement in something this rad.

 

[Bubba77]

FH2 is my favorite game of this Gen. I am beyond excited for this especially since I can play on my xb1 or my brand new gaming PC at 1440p.

Do the new Windows store games enable a xbox live type overlay? Will I have quick access to my friends list and such?

 

[Shaneus]

Laneway is pretty big isn't it?

Compared to, say, Big Day Out or Stereosonic... nah. But maybe there could be an *actual* Horizon festival on the cards

Have to admit, this bodes well for having a bunch of Australian cars in this and the next FM. At least, there'd better be! Ford have far too many glorious beasts to let them slide for this game. Plus other beauties like the Joss Supercar.

 

[rainz]

Cross Buy/Play Anywhere with my PC will be a godsend when the gf wants to hog the TV! Yesssssssssss! Game looks so damn good even if im sick of Australia as i live there, will be great for other people to see a lot of it.

 

[benzy]

This was MS's game of show for me.

 

[xviper]

the biggest problem with FH2 in my opinion was that you play in only one environment

FH3 really surprised me with the variety of environment, FH2 the best racing game i have ever played and if FH3 has the exact same gameplay but more content and bigger world and online modes then it could be in my top 3 games of 2016

 

[chaislip3]

FH2 is my favorite racing game of all time. This looks even better.

 

[FordGTGuy]

So it's the Outback? Not the Gold Coast?

I'm still getting this day one, but I wanted the old Surfers Paradise CART circuit.

Looks like it's going to have both, says the "Skyscrapers of the Gold Coast.".

Horizon 3 with Eric Prydz playing on the radio in 4k

Game of the Forever....

 

[shandy706]

Best thing of E3.

Some Shenmue 3 tonight and I'm set.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

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

From - http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/FH3_Announce

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!

This guy better be back.
