Totally. FH2 was a huge amount of fun.

If you don't love DLC just be ready to pick this up over any other racer than I guess?

 

All cars I'm listing will be in the standard edition of the game. Forza Horizon and Forza 6 have literally hundreds over any other game...

 

Driveclub - 50 cars.

ProjectCars - 74 cars.

GT Sport - 140 Cars. 

Forza Horizon 3 - 350 Cars.

Forza 6 - 460 Cars. 

 

You can always pick up the ultimate edition which guarantees another 42 cars without paying for any extra DLC, It's what I went with on Forza 6 and have never been left wanting any car. (Except the dam Porsche expansion) 

[TruckWEB]

And Nascar expansion....  And the fact that even if you did get the Ultimate edition, you still have to get "car packs" to get the latest cars.

the alternative being not being able to get the latest cars at all. until the next game, when you only get a few of them a lose equally many of the other cars, because making car models, sounds,textures, simulation models... cost a lot of money,

personally, I'd love the fact I don't have to pay for some nascar crap I'd have no interest in.

Rodney!

[Vandalsquad]

Mates went to lock this in yesterday for order, Ultimate Edition is sold out Australia wide. Can confirm after doing a little bit of digging myself trying to find them a copy. Standard Edition only now for $79 bucks is all that's available for release day.

 

For any other Australians on here but I have been able to find Ultimate Editions in New Zealand still available for sale at mightyape for $109AU.

Major News and Update drop.

 

Forza Horizon 3 is now gold.

 

Quote

The worldwide release of Forza Horizon 3 is coming up on Sept. 27 (and four days earlier on Sept. 23 for Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition owners), and today we crossed the latest milestone ahead of launch: Forza Horizon 3 has officially gone gold! With the game off for final pressings of retail discs and setup for digital release, we’re celebrating the good news with some additional updates, including Windows 10 PC specs, the full Xbox Live achievements list, and a very special addition to the Forza Horizon 3 vehicle roster.

- Brian Ekberg

It's the game that just keeps giving. Warthog Confirmed.

 

Quote

Welcome the Warthog

Over the past six weeks, in our Forza Garage series, we’ve introduced all of the 350+ vehicles that will be arriving for Forza Horizon 3 at launch. Well, almost all of the them. Today we’re unveiling a unique addition to the Forza Horizon 3 lineup, a vehicle that has long been requested by both the Forza and Halo communities. For the first time in any Forza game, you can now drive the most famous ground vehicle in the Halo universe – the Warthog!

 

The M12S Warthog CST will be available at launch for Forza Horizon 3, and will be sent as a free download to everyone who has played either Halo 5: Guardians or Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Eligible players will receive codes to download the Warthog via an Xbox Live Message, and codes will begin to be sent out during the week of September 5. In addition, players who have not played an Xbox One Halo game will still have the chance to earn the Warthog via a special #Forzathon event coming to Forza Horizon 3 in October.

 

We’re celebrating the unveiling of the M12S Warthog CST with an upcoming in-depth look at the making of the vehicle in a very special edition of Heavy Metal Affliction. We’ll be chatting with the Halo masterminds at 343 Industries as well as the team at Playground Games on what it took to bring this iconic vehicle into the world of Forza Horizon 3. Look for that feature coming up soon on ForzaMotorsport.net.

Forza 6 (apex) runs great in 4K so don't think you'll have much to worry about.

Demo Incoming!

 

Quote

A demo for upcoming Xbox One and PC racing game Forza Horizon 3 could debut very soon. As spotted by members of NeoGAF, Microsoft's own website has a product page for a Forza Horizon 3 demo for Xbox One, with a release date of this coming Sunday, September 11.

According to the page, the demo will go live that day at 8 PM, though it's unclear what time zone this is referring to. The page also shows a file size of 18.34 GB for the demo.

They're bringing Christine into the game?

Will it go on a killing spree?

Will the Transmission break everytime it does 1/3rd of a mile?

Realistic support like that would kill some of the classic Australian cars from getting out of the garage 

 

Warthog codes are being sent out, we'll I have received mine. Anyone who get's one with no plan on playing this code hopefully share them here for others. (PC crowd)

I definitely don't miss so much rock orientated music, But would enjoy a Horizon soundtrack more than what's on offer now. You can play any music you want in the background now, sure the lists are already on Spotify. Sadly spotify being limited to PS4 and not wanting to spend money on another streaming service for one system is nearly leading me to cancel the service.

 

F'n horrible trying to console limit a paid service that should be available on all devices 

 

 

Edit Forgot - Demo also coming out tomorrow, Should come with launch trailer as well like past Forza's. Hopefully as epic as every other trailer they produce is.

 

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

It has also been confirmed the demo will be playable on PC via Play Anywhere program.
