Blizzard Mountain expansion

[Turboteg90]

HA! Exactly like that. Shame Forza doesn't have box trucks.

Ford transit?

 

[JC_Dude]

Ford transit?

Van =/= box truck.

PSA: There is no update, you have to go to the store and download the add-on. Just type Blizzard and it should appear.

Oh ive got a 1.49 gb update to get..

 

[Gr4ndy]

For me it was 3,66 GB for Blizzard Mountain + 2,90 GB FH3 update.

 

[imported_rik19]

3.66GB oh great, about 10 hours for me then...grrrr just bought it aswell...grrr

 

[ELmarcotuff]

Still no update here, I downloaded the dlc just don't know how to activate it

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Why is it that so many people are criticizing T10/Playground for releasing a winter-themed update based in Australia in December? Yeah, it's summer there... and? Should Polyphony restrict access to the winter tracks in GT6 unless the PS3's internal clock shows that it's an appropriate season in that region?

Just silly. Releasing the expansion in June would've been dumb.

Oh there is an update, I didn't see it when I booted the game up at 18:00 UTC on the dot

Well I'm probably not going to head on the snow trails this evening then...

Because we don't have the E60 M5, and other cars that "everyone" wants.

I honestly could've cared less if this was released in the summertime here, I'd get it either way

 

[FT-1]

I tried booting up the game again and the screen is stuck at "Getting ready...". Halp.

EDIT: I've genuinely been waiting ages then the second I submit this message it allows me to download the update.

 

[GrindyBeak]

Holy **** it's beautiful! Just got to the festival.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Brian Ekberg has confirmed that Blizzard Mountain is a separate map.

That said, if you're looking to get the expansion for free, you'll want to watch his stream on Beam: they're giving away codes (and Pizza Hut ones, bizarrely, but for US folks only).

 

[Yui-san]

Hmm strange, I finished downloading the DLC and started up the game, but it's not there :/

Yeah, the update is separate (at 2.9 GB). You'll have to head to the Store and download Blizzard Mountain (3.66 GB).

Glad I saw that now, saves us sitting around with our stream later today!

Shame that they couldn't or didn't want to incorporate it with the current map.

 

[Nielsen]

Big download for me as well. Early December update and the one released today. Then there's the expansion to download after that, but I'm still undecided about getting it or not.

 

[SPhilli911]

Shame that they couldn't or didn't want to incorporate it with the current map.

As great as that would be (and to save us from loading screens), it would be odd to drive from a tropical beach climate to a snowy mountain area. Even for a game.

The Crew says hi...?

 

[RobronForever]

This DLC is already annoying me.

 

[SPhilli911]

I've never played The Crew, but isn't the map in that game considerably larger? So it makes a little more sense. Not arguing against the idea, I wish they added it to the existing map as well. Don't need realism in a game like this.

On another note, do you need to use snow tires in the expansion?

 

[RobronForever]

It's funny you should say that. My friend only said the other day "What if those snowmen are collected like billboards?"

Would be cool if there's something to them like that.

They will probably do that.

Elaborate?

 

[RobronForever]

Elaborate?

My friends are playing it and I'm not!

 

[Nielsen]

Ok, I thought it was something serious.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Now installing the DLC and hopefully the update next.

Hopefully, your internet is good and it doesn't take as long as mine is

 

[The Stig Farmer]

I cannot travel to the new map. "Failed to download required marketplace data. Please try again later.". But I can purchase the new cars.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Don't worry man, at least you'll be able to try it before me (TV is in use by someone else at the moment). Have fun once you've tried it bud!

Can't wait to see the photos!

 

[torque99]

I have been driving round the map looking for the Expansion until I read there was an additional update ! This 2.9gb one is very slow hovering around 1MB/s..been about 20 mins now stuck on 20-30%..I guess the servers are taking a hit! Hopefully won't be too long..Look forward to hearing what you guys think of it. From the Trailer it looks amazing at night and the ice tracks..

Yes, the map in the Crew completely dwarves FH3 and the snowy portion in the middle-north is a good, sizable portion of the map, it's loads of fun to drive in both on the road and off road.

Back to FH3....I'm so glad they included the Foals, I am more impressed with the soundtrack than any other Forza game so far. It's a shame they didn't expand the existing map to include the expansion though, they really should rethink that in the future. As great as it looks, that be a deal breaker for me. Other than that issue, I think this DLC looks fantastic.
