FH3 Hot Wheels Expansion - Now Available

[Populuxe]

I like that you actually still have to race the cars. It isn't just open the throttle and steer.

 

[Bastet]

I was worried the new tracks were just gonna be more of the same "whoever is fastest in a straight line wins" that plagues most of the racing in FH3 but this is looking to be really fun.

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

Yeah, about that... My PC might not run FH3, because of how old it is. (Powered by an old Intel Celeron, yet, used to run TF2 & L4D2.) Not only that, I don't have the skills to build my own computer. (My dad isn't made of money!) So, I'm afraid (not really...) I have to play it on Xbox One.

It's actually pretty easy to build a PC. There is some figuring out to be done at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's essentially "put round peg in round hole." With a few exceptions, of course.

 

[LumpiestFish]

You can add the classic red stripe tyres to any car in the game, neat!

 

[yabiggoose]

This looks pretty fun. I'll be getting it. Glad the second expansion wasn't Porsche.

 

[TokoTurismo]

This is definitely the type of expension I'll be enjoying racing online for sure.

I've never liked racing in the full game's tracks because it's always impossible to catch the ones with cars tuned to be fast (if thay makes sense), especially the one driving a white Maserati GranTurismo S in Class S who rammed me into a large rock (luckily I've escaped but still.)

So I'm hoping with this one it will come down to skill and not, as @Populuxe Cowboy put it, throttle and steer.

1-2PM EDT tomorrow.

So when I start work.

Mother****er this is the most excitement I've felt for Horizon since Blizzard Mountain... also game 7 for the Oilers in the playoffs.

A few other details pointed out in the stream

- 110km of new road, 141 roads total
- 50mph is needed to make the loop, some cars stock can't drive some of the courses
- Hotwheels Red Tires for all cars with race tyres available
- Barnfind has a chopped roof option (first time in Forza)
- The expansion events are gated by class (but might be changeable through blueprint)
- You can fall off the tracks
- Drone mode is unlimited by height in the Horizon Hot Wheels Map

Red tires sounds pretty awesome.

 

[DJTHEKING]

Redlines will be perfect for many muscle cars.

 

[-Fred-]

I *so* called the Redline tires last week.

...also game 7 for the Oilers in the playoffs.

HNFFFFF TIME TO TAKE THE GTO OUT OF THE GARAGE.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Get ready to see a bunch of hot wheels red line replicas coming.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

It feels like Christmas day ;D

Just wanna get work over and done with so I can get home and play this expansion.

 

[VXR]

Some meta games have popped into my head reading those details about the loop.

Which cars can't make it in stock form?

What happens if you're only doing 49? Will it slowly drop off the loop?

How far up the loop can you start before gravity is the stronger pull than the given car's ability to put its power down and its ability to hit 50mph quickly?

Interesting stuff.

First test will be the hummer.

You'll break the road surface. Please don't ruin this for us

I am curious about that 50 MPH thing. Maybe I'll try it in the Isetta.

I can't wait to see if it's possible to complete the Hot Wheels Goliath in an Isetta (if there is an event like it)

I can't imagine it handling the 200 MPH launchpads very well.

 

[JR98]

Might not be too bad if race tires are installed. Wonder how much airtime it would be able to get off a jump right after a launchpad.

 

[HarlemG27]

What time does this drop, 11pm? Smh

 

[Rob192005]

Downloading it now.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

If you have the Expansion Pass you can download it now. But your still going to have to wait until the patch releases to play it.

 

[mwoodski]

i am excite.

how big is the expansion, gb wise?

 

[JR98]

i am excite.

Around 6GB

 

[ShawnPhillips]

6GB for the Expansion and the Patch combined. Expansion buy itself is 2.98GB on PC 2.46GB on XBOne.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Might as well hop on and download the expansion. One less thing to worry about when the patch drops.

 

[Nielsen]

I don't own the expansion pass and I can only find a bundle containing the full game and the Hot Wheels expansion. Shouldn't the store be fully updated by now? Always 🤬 to deal with on release day.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

I actually can't remember if I bought the expansion pass or not.

I think I did but I don't 100% remember.

Blizzard Mountain came out last December right?.. 5 Months ago.

I'll find out when I get home
