Forza Horizon 3

[LilSki]

Forza Horizon in my opinion does exactly what it sets out to do. To be an open world racer with semi believable physics. The Halo vehicle makes complete sense to me. There are tons of Halo fans and if including this vehicle gets a few of them to buy the game then it did its job. I have said it before but I'm excited about it as sometimes you just want to thrash through the jungle and not have a care in the world.

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm a massive Halo fan too. (No other reason for owning an Xbox One tbh)
Just think it's a bit Nintendo-esque having crossovers between not only different titles but different genres completely.
I can't help thinking about the fighting game the kids loved on the Wii or whatever and it had all different Nintendo characters from over the years.

I know people will relish this opportunity but for everyone that loves there also will be some that don't care for it.

I think it looks more like a puma.

Tell me about it. Haha, that quote always stuck with me and after posting I went and watched some of the episodes. I couldn't believe that was 2003! Didn't realize it was that long ago.

Turn 10 Studios have made available a playable demo of the upcoming Forza Horizon 3, bringing a choice of several diverse vehicles for Xbox One players to sample before the game releases towards the end of September.

Sadly only Xbox One players will have access to the demo of Horizon 3, as the studio promise a nice selection of vehicles to try out in advance of the games release. PC players will have to wait until the official launch of the title to sample the first full Forza game on Windows 10 PC.

The Demo of Horizon 3 has on offer a nice selection of vehicles from which to sample the game, including "more than one" dune buggy and an off road trophy truck alongside the more traditional road going offerings in the form of the epic Lamborghini Centenario, the BMW M4 Coupe, the Ford Shelby GT350R, as and the 2014 HSV Limited Edition GEN-F GTS Maloo.

The Xbox One demo weighs in at a sizable 18.34GB and can be downloaded from the Xbox One store immediately.

Forza Horizon 3 will be available for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC 27th September 2016.

FH3 - only a few minutes with demo but pretty damn slick , very professionally done I must say.

 

[Blkout]

Amazing! Can't wait until the full release.

 

[chessmaster02]

Thanx ouvert! Its like trackmania or nfs?

Neither. It is its own game. It is its own style.

 

[chessmaster02]

Just some quick screenshots that look stunning. Make sure to try out the demo if you can!

 

[Skazz]

The PC demo is due later this week isn't it?

I'd class Horizon similar to Codemasters games of old: You get reasonably realistic physics with extra grip and magic brakes. But controls are crisp, no floatiness or lag. Definitely arcade, but driving skill still translates into faster laptimes, braking for corners and hitting apexes still has benefit.

Neither. It is its own game. It is its own style.

If you want to look over a game that "RESEMBLES" FH, look over Test Drive Unlimited or The Crew, it's basically the "same genre"

As far as I was aware, no PC demo was due for this one. Hopefully I'm wrong, because I'd love to give this a test. I don't normally go for arcade games, but this sure does look pretty. Just concerned I'd play for a bit then load up rF2 and forget all about it...

Hey man,

The screenshots don't seem to work on my PC, can you re post them as attachments please?

Do you have a HDR TV? Those pics look all-full good even on my TV.

depends on which NFS ... I would say it is closer to trackmania but not that arcade .. I mean physics laws don`t apply to your car in terms od grip, braking, mass transfer, pretty much anything you are considering in simracing... you can take LaFerrari on the beach and drive 300mph in sand, than you can steer into the wather and still going with water half meter deep. If you drive two wheels on road, two on grass in car with 800HP you won`t notice, etc .. pure arcade in openworld

Also if you wanna try openworld arcade tommorow The Crew is free for PC (you need to buy it for 0 money and than it stays free for you forever) ..

I should have mentioned, I didn't take those shots. I just posted a couple I found as I was impressed but they were scaled down to post on RD.
I have my X1 connected to a UltraWide monitor - unfortunately I can't take full advantage of the resolution (3440x1440) but FH3 still looks very good.
