Blizzard Mountain expansion

[HuskyGT]

Definitely worth it!!! And I'm so glad that I upgraded to a GTX1070. The graphics in this map are absolutely GORGEOUS! However, it's good to go slow on this one. The map is really tiny and I'm sure it'll be easy to complete. I already got all roads discovered with just two hours of playing.

As for the cars, they are a few reps, but I'm very happy with them nonetheless. The Lancia S4 has a new sound which is much better than the "stock" street version and has instantly become my favorite of the batch. The Stratos with the weird offset exhaust is just what I've been wanting, although I feel it's way too forgiving. The other cars are fine.

Oh, and no lag or stutter on this map!! Holds solid 72fps (I have it locked) even after a couple of hours of gameplay.

Is it smaller than the explorable area in the full game demo?

 

[LumpiestFish]

I don't really get why people are saying about how small the map is... in my opinion it's quite a good size for an expansion and is full enough to keep it worthwhile.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

It's certainly quite a lot larger than the roads would suggest...

 

[HuskyGT]

Yeah, pretty much. It's alright though. It's just an extra festival, so it sticks to the same size/theme than the others. For the price, I'd say it's fair, and you get more cars.

EDIT: come to think of it, this is based on the roads themselves. I'm not sure how far you can drive offroad.

It's also worth keeping in mind that the verticality of the new map might make the location seem smaller than it is. Flattening the mountain would stretch things out a bit more.

Why does it say that I have to update my driver?

 

[MockngBrd]

any pic of the new map?

edit: found it

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I love the new environment of this snowy mountain along with these new offroad vehicles! Well, I mainly love the Gr.B Lancias.

Also, I found the barn find, but I oddly enough at the same time already had it. Apparently it was included with the other cars as an option to purchase when you go the dlc cars list. In which, I'm not complaining; I actually wish I could do that with other barn finds.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Has anyone found out yet how to get the Focus?

My educated guess is you have to beat the Kingmaster.

 

[Rob192005]

Is anybody else's taking 50 years to load or is Rob just being impatient?

 

[jamman39]

Is anybody else having trouble winning races on Blizzard mountain? Even having turned the AI difficulty all the way down to inexperienced I'm always one mistake away from losing 4-6 places. If I drive on the limit, I can just about get a podium finish

-I was able to win one of the three races I attempted.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Huh. All of my DLC cars have price tags.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Huh. All of my DLC cars have price tags.

That's strange, mine didn't; I was able to get all of mine for free.

The Audi isn't free, but most of the others are for me.

Been a while since I've played, forgot how to rally lol. The braking line is essentially useless, I think for all but four turns you can just accelerate straight through in the Lakeside Scramble, the others just need careful application of the e-brake.

I also turned down the difficulty (from Pro to Above Average) after doing one of the first races as I noticed I just couldn't keep up with the AI in first place.

Loving the update though. My only wish is that the map would've been a tad bigger.

Has anyone found out yet how to get the Focus?

I found it under the DLC Cars tab at the autoshow, if you click on "show all" or something like that, all the cars from the other 3 DLCs and the VIP pack will be there as well.

After 1h45 minutes of download time, I finally sank my teeth in it... Holy crap. The blizzard weather effects, especially at night, are mind bogglingly close to what they are in real life, you really can't see anything.

I can't decide which car is my favorite between the S4 and the Impreza... which, hopefully, can benefit from about 100hp more. Guess I'll have to check tomorrow, I'm way too tired for that now.

And it would appear The Foals are nowhere to be found on any radio station... Shame.

Update was unable to load yesterday, will have to try again tonight.

 

[LumpiestFish]

A new song was added to the Horizon Pulse soundtrack, Safe And Sound by Justice. It play as first reach Blizzard Mountain, although I haven't heard it since.

 

[Brend]

Couldn't help myself even though I have ReCore and Quantum Break unopened in my collection. Purchased this today. Woo.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Has anyone noticed how when you hit a snowman, his smiley face turns sad? Neat (yet slightly sad haha) little Easter egg.

 

[diegorborges]

Seriously. I'm loving it. It wasn't cheap but its worthy. Well done T10/PG!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Uh, what Audi? There wasn't any Audis added in the dlc.

 

[Turboteg90]

Almost 50k downloads.

 

[SPhilli911]

I am loving this expansion. The snow is a ton of fun to drive in and so is hill-climbing up the mountain in a Group B rally car. I also put snow tires on my Ferrari 360 CS for funsies.

 

[Rob192005]

Has anyone found out yet how to get the Focus?

Focus was simply in my dlc mate,i just downloaded it like the others?

You unlock Ken Block's Focus when you get to round 100 and finish the final race.
