Official Thread Forza Horizon 3

Demo incoming on 9/12, not that it matters I've already preordered and paid in full.

Awesome!

While my mind is also made and this is a day 1 buy, it will be nice to get my grubby hands on it earlier.
 
If the demo is the opening race again like Horizon 2, I'll pass. I want to experience that with the full experience when the game releases. So f***ing good. Music, setting, everything.

I can almost guarantee it's the same demo they have been showing off to press.
 
Ever wondered how the Halo Warthog would fare in the Australian outback? Well now you can find out.

How "arcadey" vs. "sim-like" is it?

I'm not much into realism with racing.

It is more arcade than sim, by a long shot. There is tuning (optional...I never tuned in Horizon), and they carry over some toned down physics from Forza Motorsport. I would say for the VAST majority of people, they wouldn't know any better and when playing it, they would think it's an arcade game through and through.

Racing against your friends Drivatars is the most fun part of Forza. No other AI comes close to this. I just saw the F1 demo; all the cars drives in a perfect line, no surprises.
I Forza it's sometimes a battle where your friends Drivatars are trying to fish-tail your car, or suppently brakes in front of you or simply ram your car.
Great fun, that's what's gaming is about.

The Driveatar system really is great. The difference it made to Froza Motorsport is awesome. So many unpredictable moments and if you kick the A I difficulty up to pro or unbeatable the experience is even better.
 
You get the code in an email or Xbox message?
 
You have to pre-order?? I thought we just had to own those Halo skus.
