Horizon 3 Officially Unveiled - Welcome to Australia!

[RacingPanda]

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'm sorry. This is simply amazing! Can't wait. Luckily it'll come to PC as well, I was almost about to buy a X1 just for FH2.

We should have our own group using the Auction House to sell cars to each other if peeps are in need of a motor.

 

[SPhilli911]

Was that 12 Apostles I saw?! I hope so and I also hope that means the whole Great Ocean Road is there to drive on.

 

[SuperVeloce]

I hope the map is a decent size this time and they're just hiding it, seem to see the same bits over and over. But otherwise it looks amazing! Looks a bit like the concept arts for TDU2, but this will actually turn out decent.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well, needless to say; buying a Xbox One was apparently a fantastic decision I made, because Turn 10 hasn't seem to dissappoint me. I'll pre-order the ultimate edition and look forward to it in the Fall; especially now since race cars are apparently going to be in this game.

Map is apparently twice the size of FH2. Exactly what we need.

Twice the size of FH2 according to the official article. That sounds about right for me, personally.

Just hope the pre-order cars can be accessed in-game through normal play and not just pre-order. Otherwise, this game looks mind-blowing so far.

 

[Ameer67]

Another entrance to the Horizon series that, as usual, seems to be pretty stunning. Nice work so far T10/Playground Games. 👍

Yeah, I'm confused about that too. The official article states they'll be tuned to the tops of their classes, which makes me think they'll be Team Forza-style cars. I hope so, anyway: locking the actual models to pre-orders is one of the worst things T10 has done with previous games.

Interestingly, they list an E63 S Coupe, which doesn't exist. Meant to be a C-Class, or have they leaked Mercedes' plan?

 

[GranTurismo guy]

The all stars pack is interesting. 10 lmps and gt cars for fh3.

Pretty please?

AKA @SlipZtrEm we love you so much

 

[GTFan24]

Ummm guys... is it safe to say that Horizon 3 just embarrassed the hell out of GTS?

Also, i may just want an XB1 Slim for Christmas thanks to this beauty of a game!!!

 

[nick98]

Ummm guys... is it safe to say that Horizon 3 just embarrassed the hell out of GTS?

Safer than a Volvo. 👍

 

[Pebb]

And finally on pc and with crossplay... A dream comes true..!!!!

I really hope FH3 will have increased settings and resolution on next years more powerful Xbox One.

 

[Nielsen]

More than 350 cars... FM6 currently has around 600 cars with nearly 50 of those belonging to expansions unlikely to make the transition to FH3. This leaves around 200 cars that won't make the jump from FM6 to FH3. The new game should also bring a fair number of entirely new cars for the franchise. This possibly raises the number of existing cars that won't make the cut to 300. We can't even rule out race cars, as revealed by the Motorsport All-Stars Car Pack. Did Microsoft just give up a ton of licenses for cars, or did they simply limit the number to ensure uniform implementation of more complex customization?

 

[Aerocoupe]

Looking at that footage, I noticed the license plates on each of their cars had each persons name written on it. I assume this means we can change the text on them rather than be stuck with all of them saying "Horizon 3".

AKA @SlipZtrEm we love you so much

Not my call, but I'll send the request to the big guy upstairs. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

The Yarra Valley doesn't have red dust... I should know, I don't live far from it.

Apart from that, the forest bits look like Mount Dandenong here in Melbourne.

I just hope they have Aussie style plates (so far been yank) and legit Aussies doing any Aussie accents.

 

[ImaRobot]

or did they simply limit the number to ensure uniform implementation of more complex customization?

I'm hoping this to be the case.

 

[Neddo]

This map is very interesting. and that city shot is beautiful

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Yeah, I'd be fine with a cut to the total number if customization has taken a step up.

The inclusion of the GT3-ish cars is odd, but I suppose it's not that different from having something like the FXX K anyway.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Screenshots! (Can you tell I'm hyped? )

 

[SPhilli911]

The video seems to look a lot like Victoria in parts with the 12 Apostles looking coastal bit, Dandenong looking forests, but the city doesn't look like Melbourne to me. What city is that?

 

[Heldenzeit]

Wide fenders and the wheels actually sit flush, unlike the 240Z and Hakosuka options. Very cool.

 

[eminem09494]

2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV, the 2-016 Koenigsegg Regera, the 2015 Ultima Evolution Coupe 1020, the 2015 Ferrari F12tdf, and the 2015 Ford Falcon GT F 351

 

[GranTurismo guy]

So we are getting this beast are we? Sweet!
