Horizon 3 Officially Unveiled - Welcome to Australia!

[Luminis]

I can see it now:All the kiddies in a lobby blaring their horn constantly to annoy people. Not saying I'm against horns, but that's what I've seen in the likes of TDU and The Crew.

Public lobbies in racing games? *shudders*

Honestly, annoying horns are the least of my worries

 

[prisonermonkeys]

GTP Fury Road Warriors?

GTPRR - GTPlanet Road Racing? No Australia pun in that one, though

Nah, it's got to be the GTP Bushrangers.

 

[Luminis]

That I could settle with...

Still. Gotta throw another idea out there: GTP Roadtrain Truckers. Not as great as Iceroad Truckers, obviously, but, well...

Weird and not the most pressing of questions, but has anyone seen any gameplay footage with that GT350R? The noise in FM6 is such a lovely (and, judging by YT, accurate) sound and I'd like to know if PG has retained some/most/all of it for when I'm cruising around.

 

[Neddo]

Hopefully this game won't be too rally

What I disliked about the last. I want atleast some memorable roads.

 

[RetroJohan]

Have they confirmed what wheels is supported for PC?

Yes I want to race my expensive 959 like we did in first game

Judging from all the footage I've seen, I'd say H3 trumps both H2 and FM6 in car sound.

Around 5 cars in 350. Also, what happened to YouTube being useless for comparisons?

No, we're still waiting for wheel support period. Supposed to be coming soon.

 

[PureAlpha1206]

This will be my first Horizon game ever (Got an X1 just a few months ago). Super excited!!

 

[Minty]

It should be comparable to FM6A, so you can try that out right now.

That makes sense, but Forza: Apex still looks a lot like 6, but with clearer shadows, lighting, and smoother appearance thanks to maxed out Anti-Aliasing, but Horizon 3 being developed with PCs in mind will hopefully push environmental detail, and texture resolution to a level above the Xbone. I want to see them capitalize on the potential of PC gaming with higher quality textures and an abundance of flora and fauna in the graphics menu. I mean, I'd honestly be pretty happy if the game pushed my PC to the point where I had to cut back some settings, because Apex is barely even consuming the same amount of resources as the 5 year old(albeit heavily modded) Skyrim. I won't complain about the graphics either way, I'd just like to see them push the limits of your average gaming rig the way they push the limits of consoles.

But I suppose it's a moot point anyway, now that I know I get the game on console and PC, either way.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

That I could settle with...

We could call it GTP Thunderboxes and tell everyone that it's the local name for a V8.

 

[yabiggoose]

But, it is...


huehue

 

[VXR]

Tyre lettering! What a coup that is. Forza widebody kits too, at long last.

 

[mrPetros]

forza horizon 2 is on digital sale right now @ $25
I mean....
also forza motorsport 6 is on sale, but I am sure you have that one.

I recommend picking up the 2nd one as well. It's huge fun and you can level up your tier.

Ok, I read this thread from the first page to here. I MUST BUY THIS. This is what I dreamed about for so many years.
And my nickname may be replaced by 'YoungFHPlayer' 👍

You can change it to just YoungPlayer. However, you'd then sound like a rapper

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Plus, then you'll have to change it in a few years to "MiddleAgedPlayer", or at the very least "LessYoungPlayer".

You think you have a username problem!?

Good point.

The Youtube video and hi-def E3 video I saw on my console has such amazing car sound that the actual game will most likely completely trump the sound in H2 and FM6.

That settles it.

Here's hoping. Would be nice if sounds were not so toned down like the past horizons. I love EDM, but turning down car noise for the radio isn't necessary. It's a car game.

Looks like ISR will be reporting on Horizon 3 for those who want more professional coverage.

Also, that racing seat is killer. Too bad it costs a fortune. ($40,000)

 

[warp9engage]

I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but are we safe to assume all DLC (VIP and Motorsport Pack included) will be released on both platforms?

It's crossplay, meaning data transfers from one to the other seamlessly. So yes.
