Blizzard Mountain expansion

[DDastardly00]

Does anyone know if the expansion will be a separate area (accessed by a loading screen) or will it be a part of the existing map?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Almost certainly a separate area. That's how it's always been in the Horizon titles, and the handful of screenshots out there don't look like snowy versions of the existing map.

That's a bit disappointing. I was hoping it would be like Burnout Paradise, where it's an extension of the pre-existing map.

Sounds more like Storm Island then, Horizon One's Rally Expansion used the existing map with reimagined rally-themed versions of the existing roads, whereas Storm Island was an entirely separate land mass accessed by a loading screen. I was kinda hoping Playground games would turn over a new leaf and connect the expansion with the existing map. How awesome would it be to be able to drive from Byron Bay all the way to the snowy mountain with steep elevation changes...we'll have to wait and see.

I would be so amazed if it was connected like Big Surf Island or whatever it was called like Burnout Paradise was. Imagine going from nice pavement to holy crap its snow and ice

That happened to me on a motorcycle in real life. I was riding along the Mountain Loop Highway on my Kawasaki Vulcan 750 at night when the pavement just ended. Suddenly I was doing 60 mph in the dark on a dirt road while riding a cruiser with limited suspension travel and street tires. It got the adrenaline up real quick. Once I got used to it, it was a lot of fun and I finished the entire loop.

HNNG, so pumped for the Stratos and the Delta.

Should have at least a livery for each out on my SF as soon as possible, be advised.

I'm confused as to why they still have leaves on the tree in one of the screenshots.

Evergreens?

 

[fortbo]

Evergreens?

Maybe, but to me it looked like a normal tree. Not really a big deal just something I noticed.

 

[Ex_Driver]

Evergreens?

There aren't American or European evergreens in Australia.
They're probably Mountain Gums or Ash.

Teaser.

 

[turbofozz]

I'm guessing this will be the same as car packs and will release at the same time everywhere, meaning early Wednesday (14th) morning in Australia?

 

[Populuxe]

It looks like there's an ice lake. Cool.

I didn't realize there was a Expansion Pass any way really looking forward to this first expansion in less than 24 hours

I guess you just brought the expansion then Yeah I am looking forward to the new scenery, It is not a cheap add on to the ultimate edition but I am sure I will get my monies worth over the next year or so 👍

No I would rather buy the expansion separate

After all these years its amazing to finally see snow in Forza, its quickly becoming the only racing game series that I will easily pay the full price for. Hopefully some of these features make it into mainline forza at some point, having Nurburgring covered in snow would be great and an awesome tribute to PGR, other tracks that make sense too like Bernese Alps, or maybe even introduce some rally stages in the game. With the basis they laid down FM6 and FH3 they could easily make the best racer of all time with a few key additions here and there.
Sorry for rambling guys, I'm just pretty excited right now.

Winter Wonderland Nurburgring is still absolutely beautiful despite its age, played on it for the first time... At one of the higher points you can see through the much sparser trees and see the other side of the track. Absolutely breathtaking.

Also, ****ing thing releases midway through my shift and I work earlier the next day... Won't be playing for about 45 hours.

I'm looking forward to this expansion but I wish it was next week rather than today.

Money is tight, holidays to Glasgow and Dubai and then Christmas Shopping will do that to you I guess -.-

Today's weather report.

There's a blizzard coming, mainly in the higher mountain region. Expect snow drifts, cool air and frozen lakes.

[DonZonda]

[Thomas2012]

Wait so it doesn't release on the 13th in Australia? Well then... (I maybe completely wrong.. I hope so)

Not even out aaaaand the barn find is announced. Cheers.....

Off screen footage of the trailer has been leaked. That deep snow looks pretty incredible, and never thought I'd ever Foals as the soundtrack for a Forza trailer, considering they typically go for electronic music.
