This game....straight into my fucking veins...it looks so damn gorgeous.

 

[Fusebox]

Hope they've got Sydney in there so I can chuck some sick doughys in my street.

 

[Bsigg12]

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.

Lots of stuff still to be talked about with the Xbox Dailys hosted by Major Nelson.

 

[skyfinch]

Beautiful

Holy shit!!

 

[RawNuts]

I really hope that the accelerated time of day shot is something we can do in Forza Vista or something and not just a shot done for promotional material. It looks so damn good.

 

[Noobcraft]

This game looks so good. The release date is right around the due date of my wife and I's baby (we're not expecting him to make it, he's got Trisomy 18 and he isn't developing right) so this should be the perfect escape for me for a bit.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Is it just me or have they fixed the issue where the lighting didn't quite look right on cars in Forza and they were a tad cartoony sometimes?

Because the lighting in that leaked video looks terrifyingly real on the Centenario.

 

[soundscream]

That map looks huge. Can't wait to get this.

Looks very good. Cross country racing seems to be much improved too; it was okay in 2 but still lagged pretty hard behind street, circut, and off-road racing in terms of fun. Thinking about getting the ultimate edition of this.....

 

[TheAdmiester]

Map from leaked video:

Nice work.

So, for an idea of scale, that huge dam they were racing towards at the beginning of the reveal is actually that tiny little line next to "Yarra Valley" on the map. Good god.

 

[Jimrpg]

Map from leaked video:

Did they just stick Yarra Valley in the middle of Queensland? Come on Devs!

And the twelve apostles too!

Guess this is the "best of hits" Australia.

Sad to hear that. Hope you're okay brother.

 

[Jeffrey]

Did they ever answer the question in an interview of why all the cars have the steering wheel on the left in a country where its the opposite?

Is there an option for 'localized' vehicles?

 

[UraMallas]

This is a silly question and I know that but does it snow in Australia at all? I love Forza Horizon and will be buying regardless but I want some snow.

 

[Moltenix]

Is that just a chunk of the map or the whole thing?

 

[TheAdmiester]

Is that just a chunk of the map or the whole thing?

A few roads continue off past where the image cuts off so it's definitely not the full thing. However the fact that the roads become so sparse towards said borders says to me that it's not far off of being the full map.

Yeah a lot of it looked like Qld and NT. It would be good if they had Kangaroo Valley or Mt Murray from the Illawarra in there. God's country.

 

[sTiTcH AU]

Looks like gold Coast top right with byron bay in the middle right. So north coast nsw.


Edit...totally missed the names right on thr map

 

[TMWNN35]

The old pacific highway between Byron and the Goldy is actually a pretty sweet drive with some nice long sweepers.

I used to live on the Goldy and my sister still lives in Byron, they better have modeled my old place or I'm selling my xbone.

 

[Evo X]

Hey, if I pre-order the Ultimate Edition on my Xbox One, do I also get all the DLC on PC?

I would hope so since they promoted your save file being shared between the two platforms.

 

[sTiTcH AU]

Seems to just skip the great dividing range between the coast and desert which is a shame. Some brilliant driving roads right there (and even better on a motorcycle)

This is what I'm wondering as well.

I'm ready to pull the trigger.

 

[UraMallas]

Man. I am ready to fuck up the Outback in a buggy.

 

[AMUSIX]

I hope Barn finds are back...loved those. And they should build on them. Really hide cars all over the place, with little clues pointing to them.

It works that way for KI so I would be surprised if the future cross buy titles work differently

 

[TheAdmiester]

This is what I'm wondering as well.

I'm ready to pull the trigger.

Same, I'm pulling the trigger on the PC version as soon as I find out:

1) Can I still get the preorder cars and DLC on PC?

2) Is it locked to 30fps on PC or can I go beyond that?

Hoping to summon HeliosT10 for answers.

 

[Poona]

This is a silly question and I know that but does it snow in Australia at all? I love Forza Horizon and will be buying regardless but I want some snow.

Of course it snows. There are many places where snow is known to happen but two areas known for the snow in Australia you can look up are Mount Buller and Falls Creek.

 

[UraMallas]

Excellent! So, I hope we get some snow DLC unless it snows in the areas on the leaked map at all?

To add to that:

3) wheel support?! What's going on with that at the moment?

 

[Count of Monte Cristo]

In the e3 demo a guy was using a wheel and a PC. so I expect most of the more popular wheels are supported.
I suspect we will know how good that support is when wheel support is released on forza 6 apex on pc.

 

[Hip Hop]

To add to that:

Didn't we see wheels being used on stage today on PC? I guess that's a good sign I guess.

 

[ShogunX]

That trailer is pure quality, it's no wonder everybody is so positive and hyped for the game.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Did I hear Xbox one - PC crossplay this morning or was that just my inner desires?

Would be pretty cool to play with my friends even from the PC.

Yeah, cross play is in.

That's what was shown on stage today, too.

 

[AwesomeMeat]

My understanding was that is just some co-op stuff. It didn't sound like it had full cross-play multiplayer.

 

[user_nat]

Doesn't look like a huge increase in the number of roads over FH2.

 

[Count of Monte Cristo]

I'm playing through horizon 2 right now, and I can't help but wonder how good it would look at 4k... Guess I just gotta wait until September!

 

[Loomer]

The technical leap from 2 seems pretty huge, are maybe it's the lush setting? Very interested either way.

 

[soundscream]

Roads maybe not, by watching the video the size of the map is MUCH bigger. You cant see it in the picture, but watching them scroll around the map shows how much larger it is compared to FH2.

 

[Bishop89]

I saw one driver on the left side.

Preorder cancelled!

Spoiler

cool the game is set over here need more games set in aus

 

[Xumbrega]

goddamnit the map is HUGE

 

[icecold1983]

Seems very big to me as well. I dont believe this is representative of the xbone version at all. Id gladly be wrong tho. that would hopefully mean an even better pc version. At least for amd users

 

[UraMallas]

My understanding was that is just some co-op stuff. It didn't sound like it had full cross-play multiplayer.

Yeah, it did. It would be much harder to do the new co-op mode than the standard multiplayer races anyway.

 

[sangreal]

My understanding was that is just some co-op stuff. It didn't sound like it had full cross-play multiplayer.

I don't think so. This is the wording in the announcement:

Even better, with the power of Xbox Live, you’ll be able to seamlessly play with your friends regardless of whether they are playing on Xbox One or Windows 10.

We’re making the most of that cross-platform play with our four-player campaign co-op. Everything that is in Forza Horizon 3’s solo campaign can be played with up to four players in cooperative mode. Drop in our out at will; everything you’ve earned in a co-op session with friends will carry on with you once you go back to solo play. You never have to play the same content twice if you don’t want to and your time spent in co-op will always be time well spent.

 

[aravuus]

So, does Turn10 have any experience with porting games to PC? Really enjoyed my time with FH2 but I never got to play it as much as I wanted since I had to borrow the console from my brother, so I'm obviously getting FH3 on PC. Hope it's a good port.

You can try Forza 6 Apex Beta on Win 10 store for free right now.

It's a good port, although Turn 10 does Forza Motorsport while Playground Games does the Forza Horizons. The engines are said to be similar however

 

[JMizzlin]

Holy shit Byron Bay?! Amazing!
Hopefully we get a Daintree expansion and can explore far north Queensland.

 

[Draconian]

This looks stunning, and the multiplayer options seem fantastic. Great stuff from Playground.

I think I'll have to pick up Forza 6 to tide me over in the mean time.
