Some stuff I pulled out of it.

  • Map twice as big as FH2
  • You play as the Boss and have some control over the events.
  • Selling cars in auction house.
  • 1000 player car clubs.


"With Forza Horizon 3, we’re taking that one step further, giving you the opportunity to hire and fire your friends – or, more precisely, your friends’ Drivatars."


"But that’s not all. In Forza Horizon 3, we can ensure that you are driving to the music that you love with the brand new Groove Radio station. Groove Radio lets players stream their own personal music collection from the cloud – just add your music to your OneDrive, create a playlist in Groove Music on Windows 10, and Horizon 3 will stream that playlist into your game on Xbox One and Windows 10"

VIP rewarward is Koenigsegg 1.
 
Hell yes! Can go to Australia without the fear of death by anything...
 
The rock formations in the water at the start of the announcement trailer are the 12 apostles. They're a 5 minute walk from my mums house. (they're also in the start up to Disney's Dinosaur)

Surfers Paradise is full of bogans, and its where we send our kids for schoolies.

And that satellite relay... That's in the middle of nowhere. To drive to it in real life from either location would take about 40 hours lol.

Its amazing how they shaped the map so.
 
Man this was my fav video of the entire E3. Much prefer Horizon to regular Forza.

Had goosebumps throughout. If this looks so beautiful and fun on XOne can't imagine how FH4 will look on Scorpio.
I bet when FH4 hits I'll be like Randy:

As always with the Horizon series...day 1. I hope they can keep this up for future Horizons because it's the only racing game I buy day 1 and actually really look forward to with excitement which never happens with any other racer.

Gameplay




A look at the 24-hour timelapse being used as the beautiful sky

Eww, 30 fps... Ugh, I guess it's open world, lol, what a douche :txbrolleyes:

Can we talk about that latent "S" ? lol, very annoying.
 
Game looks friggin' amazing! I don't think I will be able to wait on this one :D
The bump over FH2 is pretty substantial- there are moments that almost look real there.
 
So what exactly is co-op in this game? Just being able to play the main campaign races against friends instead of the AI? Also no more super ultimate extreme edition for me. Both FH2 and F6 I've been disappointed in the car selection, only for them to release a separate Porsche pack.

They have little choice here. EA owns the license to Porsche and thus Microsoft has to deal with them. I doubt they let their monopoly go for cheap.

Seems like Co-op will be sort of like that in Burnout Paradise.
 
This was the only thing MS showed that I was interested in. It looks to be a massive improvement over FH2 visually. I just hope what they showed wasn't from the PC version or I'm gonna be a sad panda.​

They showed it on both PC and Xbox one in the conference. Think the Xbox one footage was from the slim.
