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

Being a PC only gamer I've never owned a Forza game. I've always wanted to, but without an Xbox I simply could not.


This will be the first Forza game I own!!!!!!!!

Your patience paid off as forza is just better on the PC.

Forza is my favorite series MS puts out and can't wait for this.
 
Still hoping the second one comes over but the future is brighter for PC owners, like the trailer more then I thought.
 
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.

I'd be great to get some incarnation for the Falcon XR6 Turbo in a Forza game.

Would also love to see some of the older less collectible Falcon and Commodore models, like the VL turbo and XF ute (my 1st car).

So now that the main conferences are all over....

...yeah, MS definitely took it. Still so goddamn hyped for the game. Seen some leaked footage of the map and menus and it looks HUUUGE.
 
No Shenmue 3 in Sony's event made it nearly a total failure of a show for me. Sucks!

No Red Dead R****

No Crackdown ...ugh

Horizon is the one game of this entire E3 that had me actually really excited. I love State of Decay too, so there's that.


Where's my BC stuff Microsoft?

Anyway, thanks for making my day Horizon 3.

Horizon is definitely the highlight of the day for me.
 
sharing is caring

Link to map?

RawNuts just posted it.

Wasn't going to post it because I'm not sure if it's wrong to but then I just realised how selfish that sounded lol. But yeah, map looks awesome. The city alone is like all of Horizon 2's cities combined without the countryside in between, there's a rather large settlement at Byron Bay (?). One thing that excites me is just the fuckhuge long road that runs into the outback, perfect for cruising.
 
Fucking Australia. Awesome. Hopefully they model tire puncture marks from funnel webs and huntsman under the visors.
 
I am going to say the FH3 is my game of the show/E3. Sea of Thieves a close second, but FH3 really blew me away. Has a B-Roll at full 1080p been released or direct feed gameplay? It just looked fantastic and really blew me away.

Hell yes. Something that bothered me about Horizon 2 were the mostly bite-sized cities other than Nice; it's great to see a proper city area being done. Map has amazing variety which I didn't expect as well, a stark contrast to my Stupid American™ view of Australia being Mad Max land.

Thank you.

Holy shit. *jaw dropped*

I imagine there will be expansions as well. This is going to be amazing.
 
lol, that map is hilarious. Byron Bay being right next to the 12 Apostles made me literally laugh out loud.

Surely not as bad as big places in Italy being a stone's throw from Nice? Lol

I guess it seems crazier when it's somewhere in your own country, the main real downside of open world games is scale but thankfully this still looks huge.

It really does have great variety. The top left parts honestly looked reminiscent of Horizon 1's Colorado with the desert/sandy areas, then we have some scattered rainforests a la Storm Island, then a huge city which is totally new. I imagine the coastal roads of the city at dawn/dusk in the rain will look fucking beautiful.

Every time I forget and subsequently remember that it's coming to PC I have to pinch myself, this is the real megaton of E3.
 
I really hope some of the races are like in the first Horizon, where they make a good course out of the environment with boarders, railings and such. I really liked the closed circuit like races of Horizon 1 versus the ones in 2. Everything else I loved a lot more in 2 though.
