Horizon 3 Officially Unveiled - Welcome to Australia!

[mrPetros]

Eh, not the case for me, really. It was never the games that stopped me from getting a rig, but the sheer price and constant upgrading(not so constant really, but compared to a console, I would say so) that has swayed people in the direction of consoles.

A game that has a locked FPS, be it 30 or 60, will always look great. The visual difference is not that noticeable, but if you switch back to FM, than the difference will be apparent. Not a bad thing though. All FM games have ran flawlessly.

the maintenance required to keep a pc at top performance, although is much less hassle now, still will never be comparable to "press ON & play"
while for many this never was a problem, as we grow up we realize that not all our friends have the appetite or time to spend in non-playtime when they allocate time to play.

In theory, that'd mean "starting next week".

We can hope.

 

[StoneyNUFC]

Looks very promising. Nice to see some much requested features return.

Plus cross-play means i can still chase @SlipZtrEm times from my PC

 

[Ameer67]

Well, the soundtrack is already looking pretty good: CHVRCHES is in!

Excellent! I didn't do much of Rivals in FH2, but I get the feeling I'll be sucked in come September...

As a reminder, T10 started announcing FM6's car lineup right at the beginning of July:

So I'd say we've got a few weeks before they start doing it again. If they do around 20 each week, that should carry things off to the release date quite nicely.

There is not a list at the moment but I heard CHVRCHES in the background of some videos. So it's a start.

Ahhhh ok, makes sense.

There also are the Future Sound of London, the Knocks, !!!, and Years & Years. I've got such a wide grin on my face right now.
Also, for anyone who doesn't dig the soundtrack, there's always the custom soundtrack option through OneDrive and Groove Music. I'm going to copy-paste my Spotify playlist.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

@Luminis, was it you worried about the game being always-online? If so:

I was hoping for Spotify being accessible through that, but what is groove music?

Basically Zune's spiritual successor, it works a lot like Spotify. TBH, I'm interested on how this "custom music radio" feature will work, the announcement said that it also works through importing your music from OneDrive, which is probably the way I'll be going with if using Groove for this feature requires a subscription.

Ah, Zune. I haven't heard that name in years. I used to have the original when it first came out! I'll have to check it out. Is is subscription based or free?

 

[Luminis]

@Luminis, was it you worried about the game being always-online? If so:

Thanks for the heads-up, but nope I was worried about the game requiring access to an Xbox in any capacity to be played on a PC. Which, to be fair, might be a bit nonsensical.

It's subscription-based, with a 30-day free trial.

Skies were captured with 360 degree HDR cameras in Australia, what you see in game is footage of real skies replayed, mixed and blended...

I'm excited for the horns, it'll be like test drive unlimited.

Awesome, thanks!

I can see it now:All the kiddies in a lobby blaring their horn constantly to annoy people. Not saying I'm against horns, but that's what I've seen in the likes of TDU and The Crew.
